-2.3 today

catjrow3 · 07-12-2011, 07:22 AM

Good job ladies, sounds like a good start today.

Kay, are you going to do an apple day today then? not bad with no gain considering your 2 meals out yesterday, even though they were only salads...

I was down 1.8 this morning, but still so far away from where I was!! I hope this week is good to keep me motivated to keep this diet up!! Happy Tuesday everyone!

NeekoM · 07-12-2011, 07:40 AM

Hi everyone! Marking my spot in the P2 thread. Loading for R2 today and tomorrow so I'll be joining you in VLCD-land on Thursday. I'm ready for the routine of P2 again but already mourning the loss of HWC and bacon

catjrow3 · 07-12-2011, 07:59 AM

Yes enjoy the loading... P2 is soo..... P2ish...LOL

Violet_Dream · 07-12-2011, 08:04 AM

Good Morning Everyone!

I'm up .4 today so I'll take that as a fluctuation.

I decided to not have the melba today and put a splash of milk in my coffee in place of it. I only plan on doing this today and we'll see what happpens.

Have a great day!

Even though I haven't had any losses, I have felt better this round than in round 2, so that is a plus. I'm really hoping to see a substantial "reward" for sticking to it tomorrow! (as in a 2+ loss!)

I hope your apple day works for you!!

Today was a neat day. I came back to work after a 5 week vacation, and 5 weeks on HCG. I've lost 16.5 pounds.

I didn't say anything about my weight loss- but my coworkers noticed! One said I looked 10 years younger. Another twirled me around, put her hands on my waste and pronounced that I had a "tiny" waste! They both said they were jealous and felt bad that they indulged and gained weight over their summer break!

Nice loss! It is great when others notice your hard work, eh?

Bwahaha! So true.

I'm down .4, which is not stellar considering I'm still up from where I was 2 days ago. Ugh. I'm so ready for P3! I'm just going to push through... next Monday will be here soon enough.

dbunny · 07-12-2011, 09:20 AM

Finally! No whoosh, but a loss of .5... I ordered the pellets and will start taking them when I get them, even though I still have drops left. I was thinking that perhaps I deactivated my drops through contamination as I have been HUNGRY! And not hungry like I was before, which was I can tell I should eat, but hungry hungry.

Hope you feel better and the pellets take care of the hungries!

Solstyce · 07-13-2011, 04:17 AM

Wigglesmom · 07-13-2011, 06:40 AM

Yesterday was my VLCD1 and I'm down 3 lbs. Yay! I know it won't last so I'm enjoying it while i can.

Sleepy · 07-13-2011, 07:02 AM

-1 today

catjrow3 · 07-13-2011, 07:17 AM

I was down another 1.8 this morning, so I will take it.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday and the losses continue!!

catr31 · 07-13-2011, 07:45 AM

Day 1 of P2 for me today. I broke my wrist on the 3rd and had to have surgery on the 4th. Needless to say, I have done nothing but take pain pills and eat for the last 10 days. I am so swollen from water weight that my shoes are too tight and my face looks really fat and my weight is right back where I started from my last round.

I was suppose to leave for California for 10 days on Friday but we are postponing until end of August so that my arm has time to heal. So anyways, here I am again to join you all in losing this weight and then keeping it off.

Great loss!

Violet_Dream · 07-13-2011, 07:54 AM

Good Morning and Congratulations to all of us! I'm down .2 today and I WILL get under 200 before I end this round. I decided to go until the end of July because my bottle of Intermountain pellets has a lot more than enough for a 40-day round. That will give me a little over fifty days and I KNOW I'll get there.

Have a great day everyone!

Have a great day everyone!

What stamina you have! I struggle with a short round. :blush:

I am down .6 today. I'm finally below where I was a few days ago. I have two more days of VLCDs with drops. I'd love to see a 1-2# drop for my LDW... 167-168. I'd like to keep my window below 170!

We got some rain last night, which I love.

Cat, I so know what you mean about gaining back the whole last round. I did the same thing with the Jamaica trip and am still working on getting close. I am still up 12-14 lbs from the last round, but plugging away. Sorry about your wrist, hope it feels better soon, and we will be here to root you on!!

Congrats on hitting the 160's!!!!!

Welllll....I had a GREAT time in Sac seeing the American Idol concert!! We went out to dinner and I had a margarita on the rocks and a chicken/broccoli dinner. I was the same weight when I got home the next day, so while the marg. may have stalled me I didn't gain. But then...my home scale has said 168.4 since Saturday

I went to my WW mtg last night and their scale said 166.4...so that is down 2.6 from last week's WI there. I was expecting a drop this morning on my scale but still...168.4

I'm giving it till tomorrow morning and if there is not a drop I'm doing an apple -or whatever- day to break this stall!

...and I'm just going to add for anyone who's followed American Idol James Durbin the rocker

was THISCLOSE to me and he gave me a high-5!!!!

I felt like a giddy little teenager

Glad to be back though! Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!

dbunny · 07-13-2011, 09:15 AM

Down .5~ Hello 20 pound club! WOot!!!!!!

About time... I waited almost a week to join!
Sounds like we are all plugging away..

verbqueen · 07-13-2011, 02:11 PM

Greetings, everyone. Hope it's ok if I jump in. I am on my first day of P2, and just made my first meal--cabbage and chicken breast, stir-"fried" with a bit of chili garlic paste. Tasted great.

I am intending to follow the diet exactly as set forth in the booklet I got from Vox when I bought my pellets. It looks to be pretty much Simeon's, but very slightly more varied--they list a few more vegetable possibilities, a few more fruits, and several different brands of crackers for the starch portion of the plan. I think the Simeon's thread more closely matches Vox's version than the rogue threads do, so hope I can follow along with you guys in this thread. I figure since I am new at this, I will be more comfortable and more likely to succeed with very structured options, so I don't think rogue is for me.

Gosh--you girls have been amazingly successful. I'm inspired!

Wigglesmom · 07-13-2011, 05:29 PM

Jessica, glad to hear your VLCD1 went well. I thought about going rogue from the start but after hearing suggestions on sticking with protocol for the first round, I decided to go that route. Why tweak something I haven't even given a chance? I'm hoping to stick it out for 28 days and then if I want a change, I can do it in R2.

The only thing I'm doing off protocol is I haven't eliminated lotions, creams, etc. I'm also eating different vegetables at lunch and dinner.
