P2 Simeon's Protcol Week of November 7-We Can Do This! - Page 5

Lildrew · 11-11-2011, 07:57 AM

I am down zero again today.

I think this is my longest stall yet. Just hanging in there. My whoooosh has to come some time, right? I can't eat 500 calories a day, take hHCG and not lose weight. Sigh...I guess my lesson this round is patience.

I think you can do an apple day after 4-6 days of no loss in P2. They say it's only water weight but I don't know. I started to do one after 3 days of no loss and they recommended me not b/c it wasn't really a stall yet.

Hey Gals - I'm also planning on reloading/Round 2 on NYE & NYD! Glad we're all on board. I mean I'm just hoping in can stabilize in P3 but have been looking ahead at the calendar!

Thanks!!!

I did one last round and don't want to do one again, since they are really for psychological reasons. I say that today anyway, if I am still stuck tomorrow, I may change my mind!

I definitely will be back in January (load days January 1 & 2). Oh, and I lost an extra pound after my last injection weight, so as the saying goes, "a little wiggle room."

I've been dream cheating! I told my daughter this morning I didn't want to weigh because I was dream cheating so much! She laughed her head off! LOL! What a blast!!!!

Great results!! Keep up the good work, and enjoy P3

Big congrats on the new decade

It's such an amazing feeling.

Hang in there girl. My second round was soooo different from the first one. Your body will release when it's ready to. And you really can't do anything other than stay on protocol, no way to hurry it along. You're doing fine

catjrow3 · 11-11-2011, 08:49 AM

Wowsa Drew, another 0... you are not even fluctuating up, which I would do ... just maintaining... big swoosh due your way!! I think if I was 0 again tomorrow I would do an apple day, and I dont normally do apple days either, as I tend to rebound from them... I would be throwing the scale out the window!! Yeah for you and your patience... way more than me!!

errihu · 11-11-2011, 09:10 AM

After a third day of no loss, no gain, I'm down 2. It seems to be my pattern. 2-3 days holding steady, then drop 2-3. Well, at this rate I should use ~4 more pounds before I go off round and end up around 232.

BaileysGirl · 11-11-2011, 09:54 AM

Drew - I felt like crap the day I did the apples. Well, I didn't make it all the way thru the day on apples. I had 1 at breakfast like usual then 2 at lunch. I went off and left the other 2 in the fridge at work and planned on stopping anyway to buy more on my way home. On my way home I started getting a headache and was feeling weird. So I said screw the apples tonight and I had P2 Chili, took a goody powder and felt much better. I lost 1.5 the next morning. Good luck anyway! Hope you see a big loss soon!

Thanks! I already went to Linda's Low Carb site to get all my recipes planned for next week. So excited. I plan on cheating on Thanksgiving day, and have a correction day after (if needed).

I was wondering if you have to look at foods and say no to anything with sugar in P3. For example, half-and-half has 1 gram of sugar, and HWC has 0 sugar grams, so I could only drink HWC the first three weeks?

I am also going over Linda's recipes, and plan to modify them by keeping out all sugar. I will use whipping cream where 1/2 &1/2 are called for.
I want mt P3 to be as successful as P2 so am going to stay away from all sugars. My plan is to be on P2 with added fats and up the portions.
I am finding no real desire for food or to cook, are you feeling the same way?

Wishing you all the best on P3. See you on the P3 Thread! Yippee we made it!

Oh, and by the way, I wanted to take a sec to thank you for being such an encouragement on this thread!

R1P2VLCD22 Down 1.4 for a total of 18.

Today will be my first day without drops. Monday will start P3.

I am so excited and nervous for the next step! What an adventure!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

My Round 2 starts this morning. Today is my first loading day. My daughter's birthday party is today, so it's a pretty good day for loading lol

I'm so excited to get this second round started. Tomorrow, I'm going to go shopping for the week. Planning ahead was one of the biggest things I learned from the first round. Having my meat portioned out in individual bags made it so easy to just grab and go.

oneoftwo · 11-12-2011, 04:47 AM

Down 2 lbs

I am really hoping it sticks tomorrow !!
I am close to my original goal of 120 and planned to go till Wednesday of next week since I wanted to do a full week since my interruption so I am hoping to get to 118 by then maybe so I can have a 5lb window of 118-123

We shall see !!

I am totally the opposite! I am planning, and plotting to cook all day to be ready for next week! I love to cook. We are a large family and I cook every day. Even after I made my family a huge meal, I would turn around and eat my P2 fare.

I am thawing chicken breasts for the "Breaded Chicken Cutlets," (so happy Linda put's the calories because I plan on tracking that info for the first three weeks) and compiling my grocery list. The only difference is my family is eating this healthier way with me. I am planning on portion control, and have a real fear of the scale.

As I said before, I've been DREAM CHEATING! I was so excited to get my eggs this morning, I've talked about it for days! I think my family is ready for me to get to this phase as well. While I haven't been necessarily hungry, all the food prep I do makes it difficult not to indulge.

So is there a P3 thread for us to chat as well? I know this thread has helped this loser! WOOT WOOT!

Jennifer J · 11-12-2011, 05:37 AM

R3P2VLCD13, up 0.2 this morning.

Ate some P2 crab cakes last night, they seem to not agree with me. Had the same issue in previous rounds, so I won't be eating them again. I'm working this weekend at me second job. Lunch is already made and ready to go with me. Steamed shrimp, cucumber, and an apple. Yum.

Sounds like you have a great plan!! Enjoy P3, it's really not hard at all. Just keep on planning what you are going to eat ahead of time and you will do well.

Congrats!! Seems like your interruption didn't hurt you too much. I'm just a big chicken, afraid to try one.

Awesome Marie! A birthday party is the perfect day to load! I will say the planning helped me a lot. I weighed, grilled, and froze my chicken breasts individually. I also weighed my lean ground beef and froze it (it was quick and easy to thaw). I did this for a week at a time.

My next round I think I would plan even better, using menus, recipes, etc. I definitely plan on buying low sodium beef broth. My P2 chili recipe was very good, but I had a gain every time I ate it. I did not have a gain when I ate just the beef, so I think it was the sodium.

Good luck!

I was always too afraid this recipe considering the cost of the crab...YIKES-A-RAMA! To spend that if I didn't like it, that would make me sad. I hope you're feeling good today....Thanks for your encouragement! I know I will be doing 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 rounds over the next year.

Good luck!

Another reason to do hCG! I was denied additional life insurance, based strictly on my height and weight (I have no health problems, zero, zilch, nada). The letter said, "based on your build,"

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

BaileysGirl · 11-12-2011, 06:17 AM

Hey!!! VLCD19 and down 1 pound this morning for a total of 17.5 pounds! Tomorrow is my last day of drops! Today I'm going to be out and about so will grab a grilled chicken breast at CFA. Dinner not sure I'll have to see what's legal wherever they decide to go.

Have a great Saturday ya'll and good job on those losses this morning! Can't wait to see what Drew brings to the scale this am!

MemoryKeeper · 11-12-2011, 06:18 AM

YIPPEE SKIPPEE! Didn't think about going to CFA for their grilled chicken breast...good idea!

Good luck and have a fantastic day!

Yea - I didn't go online to see what all they might put into it? I've heard some ppl inject their chicken with stuff. I had one Thursday night and it hasn't seemed to bother me. So, it's the safest drive thru thing I can think of for my rush from the hair appt to a sunglass sale I'm going to right after.
I'm going to tell them chargrilled sandwich no bun! I do want the lettuce/tomato to eat it in. LOL
