Red Hot HCGers ~November~

[verbqueen]

So girls, I slept on it and when I woke up, I knew what I wanted to do. Took some pellets. Am loading today, starting R3P2 VLCDs tomorrow. I've made the executive decision that one day of loading will be enough for my purposes. I'm going to go to 160 and see if that is more "maintainable" for me.

Gotta a crazy busy day today--my women's civic organization has our big annual fundraiser. I will stop on the way home for some good old cabbage, apples, chicken and ground sirloin. Then tomorrow, back in the saddle again!

[verbqueen]

P.S. So Jen--maybe it's something about 165, huh? I can't maintain it, either!

Went to the movies and had popcorn and a diet coke. The Diet C wasn't all that good tasting and I did not finish the small size. I haven't had a Diet C in months and months. I couldnt' wait to get out of there and get some unsweet iced tea. LOL.

P.S. Jen, the baked chicken legs always sounded good to me. And my doc, for what its worth, just calls it a protein day and says you don't have to wait till night to eat.

Sass- yay on the date! Hope it was fun. Interesting about the protein day. I dont like dark meat though, so I wonder if I can just roast a chicken and munch on the breasts all day lol.

Ugh I hate 165 and it hates me! Lol. Anyway, I respect your executive decision and I'm also praying for stability for you! You have earned it girl. One day you WILL be in the same boat as Deb, comfortable and stable in lifelong P4

Layla.....calling you out girl, how are things? Seems like you havent checked in with us in a day or so? Update us, hope you're doing fab!

A date? It sounds like it went pretty well. We want details! I love when the scale flickers like that (as long as it flickers DOWN). It's sort of a preview of coming attractions.

Nice, Tammy!

I'm well. Was busy today and still am not done for the day. Almost! I got a lot done and I feel very happy. I'm also down another 1.2 today but tomorrow will likely not be a good scale day. I succumbed to a quart of eggnog. I'm not on any plan at the moment so it wasn't a cheat, just not a smart idea. Glad I bought the small size! I asked the guy if he had any and he brought out a new box from the back.

Tomorrow is the Jack & Jill and I'm going to have a good time there. I've got my camera and video camera all ready and my job there will be to play photographer. I am also going to make sure that I have fun there, as well. But I want to do an excellent job on the pics and vids.

I bought some new makeup and pantyhose and things that I can't recall buying in over a year (the pantyhose is probably a couple of years.) But I don't want to wear my spanx. They leave a line around my mid-thigh area where they end. So, pantyhose it is!

I'm going to dress for comfort first and then for appearance. Comfort always comes first. Misery sucks!

Have an excellent night, ladies! See you all tomorrow. Hugs to all!

good morning red hots.

so i was feeling absolutely frustrated the last couple days at this slow slow round 2. a little discouraged as well but i hung in and was rewarded today with a loss.

i am officially down 50 lbs as of this morning and i am thrilled

hope everyone is doing well.

have a great day.

Oh boy! Don't tell me that. I'm there and I'll likely have to maintain that. It better stick to me b/c I'll fight it 'till the end. Good Luck on your 160. You'll be there in no time and I'm sure it'll be a better stick

Way to go on that! Well, this past weekend, I did an interruption before being eligible, and it worked for me! I’m right back on track! Loved that bit of a treat

[Millenia98]

I'm down .8 this morning! Total lost so far (slowed down by my interruption weekend) is 13.4. Not my best round so far, but I'll take the slow loss. I'm on VLCD22 and my last day of drops will be this Monday. Come on Monday and get here!!

[Sasseaux]

Yay Layla and MEllinia! I am also down a whole pound now to 168!! That's a total of 14 for this round so far. Not too shabbeh! Especially considering my completely roguish behavior. Man, I had to strip down to naked to get the scale down there and it was chilly this a.m. lol.

50 lbs!!! That is AMAZING! You are an inspiration keep it up, you're getting closer to your goal every day

Shout out to everyone else, looks like we're on a roll this morning! I was down 2 lbs (phew!) so no correction day needed thank goodness. I ate very clean yesterday and it paid off.

[catjrow3]

Well, just my luck, my weight went up again this morning 1 lb. Must just be a normal fluctuation, cuz I did not eat badly or do anything different, so guess I will have to hope for 140s tomorrow then!! I was so hoping for today!!!

[jnaakins]

Heres hoping for a nice big whoosh tomorrow Cathy, and that you see those 140s!

Thanks Jen... It would go up instead of down, such is my luck!

[tay65]

I'm down 3.4 lbs this morning. Now I'm at my lowest! Maybe my interruption has helped me. Total.......vlcd42 and down 21 lbs!!!!

Cathy, I was getting anxious when I was just losing .2, .4 but now its changed, for now anyway. You could be losing inches! Do you measure? I don't. I use my jeans to measure.
My shirts are really big now. They just hang on me. I'm going to try on smaller ones later. I have alot of smaller clothes. I'm glad I saved them!

I am sure it will be gone tomorrow... I am not too anxious yet... Now if it went on for days, I would have a cow. As for losing 0.2 or 0.4, or 0.6, I would be extremely happy with that, as long as i am losing, but the gaining is a bit stressful for me!!

[verbqueen]

Morning, everybody! I'm off to the races, started R3 today, feeling very hopeful that this will get me to a spot where I can actually maintain. I'm ready to join you guys in posting some losses!

I gained 2.2 overnight from my one day load. (And it wasn't all that excessive, either. If there's anything my body is good at, it's overnight gains!)

Oh me too Jessica, my body likes 5 lb overnight gains when I eat anything yummy... LOL Welcome back and good luck with this round and the next P3!!!

No time for personals! I hope just quoting your posts will show that I wanted to comment! I have to get ready for the party and I always wait until the very last minute. (It's a bridal shower for both the bride and groom. My nephew and his fiance.)

Anyway, I'm off! I'll be back later tonight and most likely will check in. Down 1.2 today and into the 160's again! This is still just all regain weight losses, but I'm so happy to see them go. I have been feeling so heavy.

Have a good day, girls!

Haha, you said you were not going to do the new decade today and you did, and I did not make it! Have fun today!

WOW!!!!!! YIPEE!!!!! CONTRATS!!!!!!

[Sweetzee]

Hey Ladies. I am SweetZee vlcd10. It has been a diy project with lots of learning moments. Thirteen pounds came off the first week. It was so easy, like throwing off a sock in a strip poker game... Then things slowed down to a stop and hunger hit hard and crazy. I worried it was the apples. Being a low carber, I was like a dog off a leash with 2 apples a day. I was losing slow and looked up the carb count of apples and decided i better not just be eating apples for fruit. They are good apples fresh picked from local orchard. So it is.. gotta make my adjustment. I have been floating over 200 pounds. It is EXTREMELY hard for me to get under 200. This morning I was so close I made an emergency diet run to wall mart for a new digital scale. We will see tomorrow. i also switched to a new bottle of hcg. who knew it was not supposed to be in the sun. Hunger is way better now. I have the new bottle of hcg in the refrigerator. I hope that is OK. I also learned it likes to be shaken before each use. That activates it in a homeopathic way.

[TrishD]

I've been reading your posts for the past week, and thought this would be a great group join, if you don't mind having a newbie in the group.

My Name is Trish and I am on Round 1 Phase 2 Day16 VLCD of the HCG. So far I am down 15lbs and have stalled for the past two days. I am doing an apple day today, so hopefully that will give the little boost that I need.

Looking forward to being a part of the group!

[tay65]

You shouldn't shake them, but tap the bottom 10-12 times each time you take them.
