VLCD20 and down .5 to 190! I think this is it for me, calling P2! Heading to the grocery store today for a bit more P2 stuff and my P3 stuff for next week. Having the egg/whites tonight for dinner. I had the popcorn again yesterday, sour cream in chili, upped my protein, ate my veggies and lost .5 a pound! No popcorn today b/c that was the last bag and I don't plan on buying any! Have a good day everyone! I'll be looking for the P3 thread! Yippee!!

Aha! Thanks for the description.

Yay for you going to P3!

Sunny7 - I was looking around yesterday and the last one I saw was for a few weeks ago. We can start one. I guess everyone is really on P2 right now with the new year! They usually look like this: P3/P4 Simeons Protocol Week of... So, feel free to start one today if you'd like! I'll join in on Tuesday morning!

Lost .5 pound so using yesterdays weight 190 as LDW and no drops today! I'm glad this round is over!!!!

Hey ladies!

I'm not in P2 yet but just wanted to stop in to say hi and keep up the good work

[garnet10]

Major relief, after 7 days at the same weight, I am down 2 lbs this am. Before I woohoo too much, I recall I lost 2 lbs over a weeks ago, then the next day was up a pound, and then spent 7 days at that weight.

So I am cautiously optimistic I am back on track.

If this is real, then I'll only have 16 more days to get to goal. My goal has continued to change, however, because once I hit that weight, I realize I still have more to go!

I'm 5'4", 128 pounds, but I'm still in size 10 pants! I can't wait to see where I'm at when I'm 120. The way it is looking now, I may need to change my goal to 115.

Hi - I'm loving reading all of the success stories and advice from those who have done rounds before.

I am on vlcd21 & I'm down a total of 10lbs.

I've learned that I do a lot of eating out of habit. I don't need to snack just because the kids do. I don't need a full plate of food. No thank you is a complete sentence.

[dbunny]

Hey all.. no loss today. Have had a couple of those days this week.
Hope y'all have great losses today!

I'm gonna keep going until Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be no-dose VLCD days, and Saturday will be P3 for reals. I already bought my steak for steak and eggs for my BAB Saturday morning.

OMG--YAY!!!!!! *I* was getting annoyed on your behalf! Good for you for sticking it out!

Congrats! And "No thank you is a complete sentence"--COMPLETELY classic! I am totally stealing that!

As for me, 2+ pounds in the last 2 days has indeed given me the oomph I needed to make it through until Wednesday for LDD. I've got three more days of official dosing and wherever I land will be goal-land. I have passed goal #1 by two pounds already and even if I don't lose another ounce from here, my real point in dropping this low was to have my upper limit be 145. This morning I hit 143 so I am really and truly there.

Er...and will SOMEONE remind of the above next week when I start getting cranky again? Catkin, I'm counting on you...

For all of you just starting out, this time last year, I weighed 210 pounds. This morning, 143. It CAN be done. HCG is amazing!

Hi ladies! I am down zero today, but I am okay with it, as I had a run-in with some terribly yummy corned beef at church yesterday.

Wow. This is awesome. I'm glad you pointed it out, because I'm new here & I had no idea. How many rounds have you done? Can you elaborate on your story?

I started my second round yesterday - first VLCD is tomorrow.

I finished my first round at 136#, then had difficulty stabilizing there, kept going up to 138# - which is where I started at yesterday.So I think I lost only 8 pounds the first round. If I can lose another 8 pounds, I'll be at 130#, which is my target weight.

Clothes are fitting nicely (6s and 8s), but I still have a belly pooch - and my thighs/butt are somewhat of a disaster - don't know if another 8 pounds will take care of my problem areas, but it can't hurt!

This time around I'm tweaking protocol a bit - having half & half in my morning coffee, along with Splenda - will see if it makes a difference. Also, I'm going to eat salads with lettuce/spinach/tomatoes/red peppers/cucumbers. If it keeps me from losing weight then I'll go back to strict protocol.

I was wondering the same thing - wanted to lurk and dream of P3 foods again.

I have done fairly well maintaining my weight between the last two rounds - but when I load now I gain 8-10 lbs. That worries me with the whole "metabolism reset" - I know it couldn't possibly be 8-10 lbs. of fat - but that's a lot of water and still took almost the first week of this round to get back off.

Tuesday would technically be my 21st day of VLCD - after two long stalls last week, I stayed the same Friday and Saturday then lost a lb. today - so depending on the next two days - I might extend a few days - I can't believe I'm saying that - it's amazing how when I am losing, I think I can go on - during those 4 day stalls - I was DONE.

WE can do it!

I just watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

[C'Marie]

Down .8 this am, still so freakin' far to go ! LOL

@Shelby, congrats, congrats, congrats! Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal! I am looking very forward to your pics!

@hellokitty - Amazing insights, right there good for you! I had to learn to say, "no, thank you," LOTS AND LOTS in the past two years. And yes, it is a complete sentence and a complete thought and requires no further explanations to noseybodies.

This round 6 is seriously sucking.... ok just had to say it. But I'm trudging onward!

[Lildrew]

I am watching Julie Julia....probably not the best choice when on P2!

Oh, shelbyla, you made me laugh! Thanks for your concern!

Incredible to think you were ever 210! Can't wait to see your pics.
