P2 Simeons Protocol - 12/26 - 1/2

[BaileysGirl]

Hi Loading today/tomorrow as well! P2 Monday for me!

[Hooligan]

I start my VLCD 1 tomorrow...I'm scared! I had an OK loading day yesterday but today I'm not doing so well. I'm not too into food so I've been chugging the coffee with heavy whipping cream and coconut oil. I've been putting about a Tbs. of oil in each cup. I hope this will be ok...I've also got a few other things planned but I'm not really wanting food.

I agree whole heartily with doing protocol, --i thought about going a little rogue, but decided against it, i don't think it wouild work for me, i think its a YMMV thing---i am on my 3rd round, loaded Christmas day and the day after, as of this morning i have my load weight off, the hunger is at bay, i am doing pellets this time around---i finished R2 this past august and lost a total of around 35#, in my 2 rounds---- i did my P3 and P4 and was only up 2#, never had to do a correction day---want to lose another 15-20# and hopefully i can extend this round and do that---

was down another pound this morning, so i am a happy camper---

happy new year!!!

I am on R2P2D2' I had a terrific first round. I am down nearly 5# on day 2 this round. So I am on track. I stayed below LDW through P4, I feel really good about my eating changes.
I did splurge over Christmas, but those were my load days, so it is all good.
Hope you all have a wonderful New Years weekend, and may we all find ourselves in our skinny jeans in the new year!

Happy New Year!
Winders

Welcome! It sounds like your round is going swimmingly, so far. And cheers to the skinny jeans!

Great job, wolfechica! My advice for the part is to just tell yourself plainly that it is a no-go, not a single thing there can be eaten other than the water or tea you bring. I did that on Christmas and wasn't even tempted to cheat because my brain knew none of the food there was 'edible' for me, so to speak. It was really empowering, actually!

I had wondered how long this forum was here, when I joined LCF back in 2008 I don't remember seeing an hCG group. Nice to know I'm not hallucinating!

[Arctic_Mama]

Not much to report here. I'm down to 193.2, so down .8 from yesterday, for a total of 14.2 pounds lost in 14 doses of my hCG. I am ITCHING to see the 180's - come on, already!

HCG has spoiled me for slow weightloss, now I'm expecting a pound a day and getting impatient when I 'only' get a few ounces . I've never seen the 180's on the scale (in high school I jumped from 160-something to 170-something, then I didn't step on a scale again until I was getting married and in the 220's) so I am super eager to 'meet' that decade.

Only a few more days before it happens!

[Hooligan]

I think I'm ready to drop into a food coma at any moment! I just finished loading day 2 and I am actually looking forward to VLCD 1 tomorrow!

Eat some avocados, or Heavy Cream, something fatty. It will be helpful when you start. I know how you feel, but for me it really does make a difference. I just realized I may be too late with this advice. In that case, well done on your first VLCD!

Wow! 1 lb a day. You are doing so well! The 180's will be here before you know it and you can get to know them.

Isn't that a funny reaction? I've had the same thing.


Down another .4 today! Whoo Hooo. Next decade is 1 and 1/2 pounds away. Can I do it in the remaining 4 VLCDs?? Tune in tomorrow....

[PenPen13]

Happy New Year Everyone!
So I am 1 load day down, 1 to go. I think I did a better job yesterday with the loading then I did the first round. I gained 1 lb and I have 1 more day to go. Tomorrow P2
How would everyone feel about listing one suggestion for a P2 meal? So many of you have such great suggestions with such limited ingredients!

[dawnyama]

Happy New Year to all

Very successful VLCD#1 yesterday. I know, I know, I have been on the hcg for about a week but haven't actually lasted a full day 100% on plan. But it is the new year and I have a new attitude. Yesterday was a great 100% on plan protocol day for me. So I am on to VLCD#2 today with 20 lbs to lose. Good luck to us all!! We can do this

I started a thread for the month of Jan for this very purpose. Join in over there once you start VLCDs!! Here is a link to it:

P2 What is on your menu? January 2012

[Hooligan]

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! Well it's VLCD #1 for me and it's 12:41 PM and I have to say, so far so good...I just woke up! The kids are at a relatives house and the hubs let me sleep in. As of this morning, I was 227.4 so I gained a total of 6 pounds during my loading phase. I'm currently waiting for my timer to go off so I can enjoy a cup of coffee and have some water. Have a great day ladies!!!

[PenPen13]

Thanks Dawn!! Congrats on your 100% day on protocol! I know how hard it is to follow the rules. I just finished cooking and dividing my chicken for my lunches starting tomorrow. Question: why do you think zuccini is not on the list of allowed vegs?

i was the same way, just so sick of eating

was down 2# today, i am sure it will slow down after this somewhat, i have had good losses all week---all the loading weight is gone, plus a couple more

[shelbyla]

Hi everyone. Well, I've been waffling on my start date but I have been eating stuff that is NOT good for me the last couple of days and I woke up this morning 5 pounds over where I was Friday morning. So I figured, let's get this show on the road. Took my first pellets this morning, getting ready to take dose two in a few minutes, have a nap, and then some serious fat for dinner tonight! Round 3 here I come...

to all the faces in P2, old and new!

So happy for you!! I too would like 20 pounds off. I am loading today.

((hugs))

[MemoryKeeper]

Well, tomorrow is my last day for my first round. It will be interesting to note the final weight result. I hope and pray it's very very close to the 198.0 I got to as my LIW. On Tuesday I gorge with Rx hCG shots, and so it begins again.

I cannot express how happy I am that I maintained my weight through Thanksgiving and Christmas! I am beyond thrilled. I am looking forward to round 2 and hopefully another 20 pounds!!! That will be sooooo rockin'!!!!

Going to check out Menu for January 2012...everything works better with a plan!!!

[Arctic_Mama]

Hello everyone! I'm on an hCG rest day today, so I don't build up immunity to my injections, and weighed in at 192.8 (.4 down from yesterday). I'm doing well, other than having overdone it yesterday and feeling more sore from my shingles today.

As always the pepperoni pizza my family ate smelled amazing, but all I did was get a good whiff and dutifully eat my p2 meal. I can do anything for six weeks, that's my mantra! And making a faux pepperoni pizza in p3 will be fabulous, I cannot wait!

Here's no to cheats today! Gotta keep my record clean, now

Welcome and I'm wishing you the best for your weight tomorrow. Then it's the P2 bandwagon again, eh? I hope both of you ladies can lose the twenty pounds you want

[MemoryKeeper]

WTG Taryl! That is serious willpower! I love it! I enjoy Cleo's cauli pizza it's one of my favorites! I have only done short rounds and applaud any body who does the 40+ days!

I will start my second round of P2 this week...looking forward to the daily (hopefully) weight loss!

[Arctic_Mama]

I kee thinking the longer rounds are easier on my brain than getting back into P2 mode once I'm out of it, but after the initial 21 days I reserve the right to switch to P3 if I'm close to cracking

Thus far, I've held up better than I thought I would, too. I'm not generally known for my willpower!

[BaileysGirl]

Morning ladies!! VLCD1 for me today weighed in at 203.5 so only gained 1 pound on my loading days. I didn't load as well as I feel like I did last round. DH is home and with NYE, sleeping late til Noon, etc it was just hectic! Already planning ahead on the calendar and I will start P3 on 01-25!! Woo Hoo Come On P3! LOL

B - nada (will ususally eat my apple for breakfast but didn't get up til NOON!)
L - grilled chix & collard greens
S - apple w/ cinn/truvia
D - grilled tilapia & spinach or cucumbers
S - apple w/ cinn/truvia

[shelbyla]

Morning all. Well, even though I ate until I was completely stuffed yesterday (load day 1), I still lost 2 pounds of the 5'ish that I had gained eating and drinking the last few days. More fats and proteins today and VLCD1 tomorrow! Wahoo!

[Arctic_Mama]

Enjoy the heck out of your load! Those are fun.

Wow, you didn't gain hardly anything from your load. I hope you got enough to hold off hunger for the next few days

Your menu sounds excellent - I'm counting down the days to P3, as well

There is a new thread started for the week. Join us here:

P2 simeons Protocol 1/2 - 1/8

Let's have a great week guys!!!

[Christi60]

I'm new to this message board, but I've been doing an an extended P2 round (with a few holiday interruptions ) since Nov. 2011. So far I've gone from 152 lbs down to 111 lbs. hhcg has been such a blessing after years of unsuccessful dieting. I'm getting close to my goal weight (I'm only 5 feet tall) and after such a long round I think I'm in need of some support! I wish I'd found this website months ago, but I'm glad to be here now!

[Sasseaux]

Hello Ladies - all are doing so well!! No loss today, but I weighed really, really early cause I couldn't go back to sleep. Maybe it would have dropped a little by regular wake up time. I know the Hhcg is working because I am getting that not very hungry feeling. I hope I see something below ldw of 168 soon. I am grateful I got rid of most of my Christmas and loading weight already. I had a long plateau in R1 that was a precurser spectacular whooshes a week later, so I am sticking with the program and not too worried.

P. S. cooked celery is dang good and with seasoning, a real treat on a cold day!!!
