Simeons Protocol -- P2 Week of 7/18/11

1moretry · 07-18-2011, 04:04 AM

This is the new thread for this week.

NeekoM · 07-18-2011, 04:55 AM

Thanks for starting the new thread!

I can't believe it but I lost another 3.5 pounds today! I know this won't last much longer but I'm sure enjoying it while it does. The R2 curse certainly hasn't hit me...yet

Millenia98 · 07-18-2011, 05:34 AM

Well, I gained 1lb today, unfortunately. That is due to the complaining about being hungry all weekend; therefore, I know I was legitimately hungry. Yesterday, I ate a few more strawberries and piece of chicken here and there more than allotted.

I skipped my dose last night and feel better this morning. Not hungry like I was this weekend. I guess that means I will scale back my dosage to 9/9/9, and I hope that works! Very weird

MaryMouse49 · 07-18-2011, 06:23 AM

I am starting r2p2 today, gained 5 pounds from loading. just wonderful, I know alot if water weight, heres hoping to loose alot this time. I was a little careless last time, so going to be much stricter. Mary

Solstyce · 07-18-2011, 06:54 AM

Well I am sad because I gained .5 pounds today. I am sure it is just water weight. I measured myself and I lost .5" in my waist and hips. I was very good all weekend long and followed protocol. I did go for a walk each day and I mowed the lawn on Saturday and got a sunburn.

I am sure I will see a continuation in the weight loss soon.

barbie · 07-18-2011, 07:50 AM

Hi everyone! Today is VLCD1 And I gained 2.5 lbs from loading this weekend. It could have been worse, and I'm crossing my fingers I see it gone tomorrow morning. I can't wait to get on that scale and see this weight go down!!

Yay!...and yes, enjoy those big losses while they last lol! How I would love to see something like that, but I know I won't!

Hang in there. It is hard, esp when you are hungry. I hope you find the right dosage to take that hunger away!

Glad you are measuring to see those losses when the scale isn't showing it!

Good luck on your first day!!

**********************

Well I've been stuck at 166.4 since Friday

. This has just gotten to be my pattern...lose 1-2 and then be the same for 4-ish days. I'd rather have smaller losses everyday then be stuck at the same number everyday! I even downed A TON of water yesterday, hoping for a nice whoosh this morning, but nope! The past couple days I've even cut down (not out) my fruit, and cut out my breadsticks since I just didn't feel the need for them. I would do an apple day today, but my parents are in town and I know it just wouldn't fly for dinner later when I get home. This is just so frustrating. This is my last week and I really wanted to get down as much as possible before P3!

dbunny · 07-18-2011, 08:14 AM

Good morning! Down .5 for a total of 23 pounds in 28 days of VLC! I am continuing on for a 40 day round ~and have even thought of staying on it until I lose over 30 pounds~ but common sense tells me I should follow protocol and then do another couple rounds in the future. Besides that, my first 3 weeks of P3 will end the day before a mini vacation in Bayfield Wisconsin. I have been looking forward to eating Northwoods Egg Benedict at the Egg Toss for a year! Smoked trout, roasted tomatoes, poached eggs, and hollandaise over english muffins. OMG~ yum! I figure reintroducing bread should be a momentous event!

Violet_Dream · 07-18-2011, 12:53 PM

Thanks for getting us started 1moretry. I stayed the same, however, I'm still down 25.8 in 38 days! Congratulations to everyone!

How many more days of VLC for you???

Today is R1VLCD39...I was going to go until the end of the month, but decided to end my round tomorrow and Wedesday and Thursday will be my two days (I'm using homeopathic hcg) of the 500-calorie plan without hcg. I haven't had any hunger during this round so I doubt those two days will be a big deal.

I'm ready to move on to Phase 3, I love low carb and it's a plus to lose weight and enjoy the food I'm eating. However, I've been satisfied with the P2 foods too. I'm glad that I finally figured out that my body doesn't tolerate carbs very well so they will be an extremely rare occasion.

Change of plans - I decided I'm going to make my last day taking hhcg 8/1/11 --- 8/2/11 and 8/3/11 will be my two days on the 500-calorie plan with no hhcg. My husband, son and I are going to a weekend retreat that weekend and are staying at my mother-in-law's beach house. Her living room overlooks the ocean.

They always have lots of low carb food and my reasoning is I want to get as far away from 200 as possible.

Today, I'm down .2.

Congratulations to everyone and have a great day!

Solstyce · 07-19-2011, 05:13 AM

Well today I was sad to see no movement on the scale. I drank a ton of water yesterday and followed the protocol like I have been doing to the letter.

Perhaps my body is resting after the big losses I had last week.

dbunny · 07-19-2011, 07:21 AM

Today I had a 1 pound loss! Yay... I have been consistently losing .5, so a whole pound is a welcome change

24 in 29! Woot!

Marocka · 07-19-2011, 07:25 AM

VLCD14, 205.8!!!, -2lbs!!

Leaving for our camping trip to South Lake in Bishop Ca, won't be home til sometime Sat!! WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Have a great week ladies!!!

barbie · 07-19-2011, 07:27 AM

VLCD2-- Lost 2 1/2 lbs. So I am back to my original weight. Can't wait to see it change some more. I would love to see a 2 1/2 lb loss everyday, but I know that won't be the case.. Just have to stick to protocol, and have faith and it will work.. I'm taking it one day at a time. I have to get through Tuesday...

miamiloca · 07-19-2011, 07:29 AM

TOM has come to camp out for a week. Stall. Im not surprised. Blah!

I really wanted to make this last week count....hopefully I'll still lose this week in spite of my buddy TOM hanging out.....argh!

MaryMouse49 · 07-19-2011, 08:15 AM

So happy to be down 4 pounds frommy first day yesterday, I knew alot was water weight, I peed about 30 times LOL. Today is day 2, have menu planned out. Woke up with a slight headache, probably a sugar crash from loading all the crap I ate. Gotta remember to take my vitamins so my hair doesn't fall out like last time. Mary

Sleepy · 07-19-2011, 08:23 AM

-1 again today

TOM from hell is here als
its terrible and i hope it doesnt last 13 days like last time

i have 13 days of injections left
im doing an extra week due to the fact i stopped during vacation time
i may end up stopping this weekend though if TOM is still here
i cant deal with a terrible TOM for 2 weeks again

Nice Mary! That's a great start!!

*********************

Well...I am stalled still at 166.4...since FRIDAY. No Bernice in sight. Today would be a hard day for me to do an apple day, to break the stall. I took some Smooth Moves tea last night, and am waiting for it to take effect. Maybe that will be enough to show a little change in the morning, and if it isn't, then definitely an apple day tomorrow. Not looking forward to it!

MaryMouse49 · 07-19-2011, 02:37 PM

Question does the smooth move tea work, to well? LOL i bought some yerba mate tea today but it doesn't say decaf, so worried it will keep me up all night. Bought some small container to take stuff to work, gotta plan

I've taken it 2 times now, and the first time it had me going all day long! 2nd time I made a cup, dumped 1/2 out and diluted it w/ water. It still worked good, but didn't have me running to the bathroom nearly as much!

I know nothing of the YM

Violet_Dream · 07-20-2011, 04:38 AM

I'm down .4

My goal is to get as far from 200 and as close to 190 as possible before I end my round on 8/2/11.

Have a great day everyone!

Solstyce · 07-20-2011, 05:15 AM

I'm down .5 today. Happy to see the scale moving.

14 pounds till goal!

barbie · 07-20-2011, 06:59 AM

Lost 1 lb today. Yippee! Out of the 220's...

Yay! I keep on tinkering with the thought of extending mine, too. But then I say, "No!"... and then I start thinking it would be cool to lose 35 pounds on my first round. That is only 10 pounds more....

I lost another pound! Very happy girl today. I don't know if it is the switch from drops to pellets, or what?? 25 pounds in 30 days!

dbunny · 07-20-2011, 08:20 AM

BTW~ does anyone else look in the mirror and not quite believe it? I know what the scale says, I know what the measurements are.. but not sure my head has caught up with my body!
