VLCD39 - 27.8 lbs gone - 21 days to go!

[LilacBruze]

The days have just been flying by and the weight has been flying off!

I went from wondering how the heck I was going to stay with this for 23 days, to being so motivated that I wanted to do a full 40 days, to deciding to extend my VLCDs to an entire 60.

The loss is starting to slow down, which is okay with me as I really only have 7 lbs to reach my first round goal. I don't think it will take 21 more days to lose those 7 lbs, and after juggling thoughts of stopping once I lose them and going to P3, I am still sticking with 60 days to see what my total loss on 60 days can be. I would be ecstatic for an even 40 lbs loss.

I opened up a fresh bottle of drops yesterday, even though I still had some left in the old bottle. I don't THINK the old bottle is losing its potency, but ya never know.

My size 18 jeans are now getting a little loose. I never thought the day would come when I'd be in a 16! I've started buying clothes in a misses XL so it really IS "bye bye Lane Bryant" for me!

People are now starting to call me "Slim" as a nickname! I love it!

Three more weeks of my family complaining about the cabbage smell!!

I am sooo happy for you. I love it that you are getting called "slim" now. I can only imagine how wonderful that feels. WTG.

Awesome job!

[RedsSkinnyJeans]

Great work!! Feels so incredible, right?

[dawnyama]

That is great Lilac. Too good to be true almost, huh???!!! I love hcg

Oh, and speaking of the family....as I was eating my crabmeat last night, I noticed that DH was heating some up in a pan and pouring it on his salad. He could not resist it. I was asking him why he was eating MY crabmeat!!! I got irritated until I realized I still had enough crab for 4 more meals The things you do while on P2

You are a rock, LB!

[jabbok]

good for you, you are on a roll and I admire your strength to continue on.

[torister]

God love you....you are a stronger woman than I am. Keep going!!

[LaraSuzz]

You are inspiring me to do the same, slim!

I've had thoughts of not getting on the scale every day, but I just dunno if I can do it. I'm thrilled when I lose. Today is my 14th day and I hope to go until the end of July that would be 60 days too. We will see how it goes.

[porkfatrules]

You and I are in lockstep (day 38, down 28 here) . . . but I'm going to stop and shift to P3 earlier than you. As much as I know I'm doing it for the right reasons, I'm truly jealous of you and being able to stay on P2 and get more weight off!!!

You've done great! Are you still losing every day? For me, my new pattern is down .5, hold there, down .5, hold there . . . I'm wondering if you are having the same loss pattern.

My pattern now is down at least 1 lb, the next day .2 lb, down at least 1 lb, then down .2 lb again. LOL! At least this is the pattern so far on week 6. Today was a .2 lb day, so looking forward to a 1 lb loss tomorrow! I've had no stalls (knock wood). I lose EVERY DAY!

Thanks everyone! I keep saying how motivated this diet has made me! And I hope the motivation shows! I love the discipline of P2 to be honest.

You.
Are.
A.
Goddess!

When I grow up I wanna be you. Well, actually I'm older than you are, so it's too late for that, but, you get the idea.

[RedsSkinnyJeans]

I wanna be you too....and we can be siamese triplets...no, wait...that doesn't make sense, but, you get the idea.

Great work!!!

Seems like I cursed myself, lol. I woke up to my first stall ever.

Truth be told though, I drank too many iced coffees with Da Vinci sugar free syrups yesterday. I also have been using a self-tanning cream too, I thought it was safe but now I wonder.

Just water for me today and NO self-tanning cream, we'll see tomorrow.

On the upside, I took my measurements today and am down a full TWO INCHES off both my waist AND my hips from just a week ago!

Don't you love taking measurements. That is just as satisfying as the scale dropping

[Dreamchaser]

I am so happy for you Lilac! YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!

[chicamala]

That is very cool! I can't wait to see the measurements really start changing.

[LilacBruze]

Well. I flubbed on the self-tanner, lol. It seems as though I have become addicted to my new golden-esque complexion. But I had NO sweeteners!

I had a company dinner tonight and the restaurant really went out of their way to accommodate me. They broiled 3.5oz of filet mignon and also broiled 5oz of asparagus. Everyone laughed at my portion size but it was very yummy and I savored every bite and with the 3 glasses of water I drank with my meal, I was FULL!

I hope I have a loss tomorrow. Oh please oh please oh please!

[Dreamchaser]

Wow, super cool of the restaurant to take care of you like that! I love how everyone laughed at your portion sizes. You can laugh right back at them from skinnyville!!!

[LilacBruze]

OMG OMG OMG! The whoosh fairy heard my prayers!

I am down 2.8 lbs from yesterday's stall!

What the heck was in that steak???

I am back on track and only 4.2 lbs from my goal for my first round! Total loss on hHCG so far = 30.6 lbs!!

[LilacBruze]

Took this pic yesterday:

[dazygyrl]

yay! lilac! that is awesome! so happy for you. you're looking great!

[dawnyama]

I agree!! You are doing well!! And look fantastic too!!
