Simeons Protocol -- P2 Week of 6/20/11

[1moretry]

This is this week's thread.

Checking in with a 0.2 loss this morning. Didn't get much sleep last night, so hope to get back to that steady burn again today.

[LaraSuzz]

Good morning all~

Thank you for starting the new thread

I'm down 1.2 this am and happy as a lark that things got back to normal. It was a little stressful week last week I was all over the place with losses up and down but I still managed to lose 8 lbs that week. I'm sure that it was water weight and I am positive that the acupuncture helped the spotting go away completely!

Costco had some yummy breadsticks for sale, I sampled one with rosemary and it was delish. They also had coffee so I had that too! I love walking around there on a Sunday having little snacks so it def was a treat.
Ok everyone have a great day. =)

[Sunny7]

down 1# this morning, hope it sticks so i can claim it---i lost 1 yesterday too, and when i do that 2 days in a row, i usually have a small gain the next day, don't know why

happy monday to everyone, hope you had a great weekend--

[jabbok]

I am down .8 so getting closer the my ldw from the last round, I am supposed to be done on friday but if my schedule allows me I will extend it further as I would like to get to 140 and be stable there before I move to P3.

Wow, look at all the losers LOL. I weighed in on my scale this morning but that was after having my coffee and some water since I was at fiance's overnight. I was down to 203.8.

[nmbnancy]

Happy Monday All !! I'm P3 now. Congratulations on all your losses. Keep drinking your water, following protocol and you will continue to lose.

[tinkerbell123]

[chicamala]

Down .8 today. At a quick glance, everyone is doing great. Will be back later to browse and visit. KUTGW!

[CarrieZohn]

I was down another 1.5lbs on Saturday but haven't lost any over the weekend. I think it's because Friday I only ate one meal and didn't have time (because of my crazy schedule) to eat anything after lunch at like 12pm or so. Didn't do anything but watch movies over the weekend so no real exercise. I only have one more injection ... tomorrow ... and then three days of the VLCD and then Saturday .... P3!!!!!!!!!!! I have my eggs, butter, cheese and broccoli all ready and rarin' to go. I'm excited but nervous too!! Scared to death I'm going to start eating high fat, etc. and the pounds will just start packing back on. I don't want to screw things up. UGH!!

Nervous and excited. Two emotions that cause nothing but stress TOGETHER, right?? LOL

Awesome job Carrie!! I always take my last shot at midnight so that I know for sure when 72 hours is up I'm ready to go. (and I usually wake up early to eat lol) Have fun

You've been going steady for a while now, right? Is it because of the laser?

[Abby1983]

Not down any today, but not up either so i'm happy. Had a bit of a sidetrack yesterday with a few beers after my softball game and 5 bites of a quesadilla instead of dinner. On plan today so we shall see what tomorrow brings

[Janessa1216]

I started back on plan last Thurs. (6/16). I am SOOOOO excited right now. I had a planned interruption that could not have happened at a better time. While on my little interruption, I switched over to Rx HCG. I am super-squeamish about needles, but so far, so good! I am losing on average of 2.5 lbs per day! I have 15 more lbs to go!!! And, GET THIS: NO HUNGER!!! Now, that's what I am really excited about!

Yes, it began right after I lasered the 4 foods I was eating that I was allergic to. Am down another 0.2 today, but still coming off an emotionally stressful time 2 days ago, so don't know what that means for the rest of the round. It feels like my body is taking a bit of a rest from all of that hard metabolic work it has been doing, so that may be part of it, too.

I should have my basic kit of allergy vials by the end of this week and intend to plunge in. I am allergic to almost everything by now (have been there before, was treated, and the treatment didn't hold over time) and hope to nail this sucker so I can eat and enjoy more foods at all times, plus enjoy better health.

[Sunny7]

stayed the same today, that was expected though after a couple # loss the last 2 days-- i have a pile of jeans to try on later today, that should be fun---i am going to go and get my hair highlighted this morning, it needs it

happy losing everyone---rainy and stormy here today

[dawnyama]

Ok. I am still here, still in P2 but not doing well. I lost a co-worker last week and the funeral is tomorrow with the viewing today. So I am a bit wrapped up in that. And then I broke my toe (although my coworkers think it is just jammed up real good) yesterday, just an hour before going in to work. I was making dinner for the family so they could eat some real good food while I was working and smashed my toe into the kitchen chair. It is now a purply-black and hurts like the dickens. So between those 2 things, I am a mess!!! I will try to get through this week a bit lighter too. Geesh!!!

I have not caught up from the weekend, but am wishing y'all some great losses this week as well.

[dawnyama]

Oh, and since I don't work til Fri I am going to be lasering some coffee. I don't gain weight while on it, but who knows? It may help my losses after all. I cannot wait!!! I wanted to do it this weekend, but since you cannot touch what you are lasering, I had to wait til I had a few days off. I don't think even having coffee grounds in the air (coffee fumes) would have been a good idea!!!

I am not sure how to do the lasering per say, but I ended up putting some coffee grounds in the shot glass and doing lasering the grounds. Then after that I made a cup of coffee the way I normally have it (half and half and sweetener) and lasered that as well. I figure why not cover all the bases?? I hope it works.

[vli1127]

Abby you are so close to your goal, keep at it.

Janessa, you are doing great. I wish I could experience NO HUNGER.

Carrie, it sounds like you are ready for P3

Lara and 1more, you guys are awesome and so supportive.

Sunny, how did the jeans fit and your hair turn out?

((((dawny)))) as you go through the funeral and recovery from a "stubbed" toe.

Woot, woot. Down 2 lbs today. I feel thinner and lighter too. I walked outside this morning and actually felt like I had a bit of a spring in my step and could go a bit faster than the last time I walked.

Congrats on the 2 lbs and the spring!

[chicamala]

1moretry- Glad it is working for you. Hope your losses continue!
Dawnyama- Sorry for all of the heartache and for your toe ache. Hang in there!
Sunny-Can't wait to hear how those britches fit!
Janessa- Good for no hunger!
Abby- Doing good!

[LaraSuzz]

Aw Dawny I'm sorry to hear the news, it's so shocking when things like this happen. Treat yourself well, and maybe get your toe checked, or tape it up to the other toes so that it heals straight?

No loss today grrr, I had half a breadstick yesterday with my dinner but it's hard to tell whats going on. Since yesterday I have a lump in my armpit that is red and swollen that I need to get checked out and that makes me even more mad that I have to go have someone poke me and probably tell me im ok. Better safe than sorry. My friend thinks it's a cyst but now I'm not feeling so hot today, not sure if it's my imagination or what. This happened once before on hcg amongst a list of weird side effects including strange rashes so I'm not that worried. I will drink lots of water today.

Oh yeah they announced a preliminary weigh in for the Biggest Loser contest at my work this morning at 9am. Since April when the contest started I've lost 42 lbs! I think I might have won... lol
The prize will be $240.00!!!! I need that so bad!!!!! Ok now I'm not so sad that I didn't lose a measly pound today! I work at a hospital, maybe I will ask them to look at my armpit lol.

wtg on the weightloss and I do hope that you win the prize.

[jabbok]

I didn't lose anything today, I am supposed to be done P2 on Friday but wanted to get down to at least 140 so I may extend this a few more days depending on my schedule at work.

I think that is awesome about the Biggest Loser contest. That money will be good to have to replace your wardrobe. We started one at our workplace too. I was going to join until my co-worker said that I couldn't He actually said that I would have to weigh nothing at the end to win. I am thinking he thinks I am thin enough

As for the strange rashes, I have had some spots show up too. I take them to be part of the detox. We are eating so plain food and getting rid of our fat cells, that the stuff that is stored in them has to leave our bodies somehow. Skin is our biggest organ and it is natural for the spots to show up. Good thing you work in a hospital to ease your mind though. Rashes are pretty easy to explain away, bumps on the other hand......
