also, fat g's are pretty low, too...so i'm sure that factors in too.

[TerriMM]

Sounds real reasonable

Morning Bud!
Well it seems as though the losses are going to keep going for a while so I’m going to just keep my nose to the grind stone. No reason not to. The hunger is still very minimal, I’m enjoying the food well enough and for the most part my energy is okay. DH is getting antsy to get done. Hope he hangs in there another week. He’s having his best round so far and I don’t need the temptation.

I thought I was struggling to keep up with the losses of my other rounds, but then I remembered load weight. Since I loaded low carb and didn’t gain anything, my losses are pure losses. That makes this round almost twice the losses of all but one of my previous rounds. And that round was a low carb load as well. It also included exercise. I started out exercising and then my back go sore so I backed off. That really encourages me to get my tail in gear.

How’s your day going?

[dazygyrl]

good morning...glad to hear your losses are continuing!

my day is fine...need to get going to the shop. i was down another .2 this morning. so a total of 4.2 since starting back to sane eating on the 8th. i can't deny that i thought i would drop more than that once i got back to sane eating. but need to be thankful for what i have lost too...which i am. just to need to keep my motivation going.

[TerriMM]

I think our concept of quick losses is permanently distored by HCG. You're down 4.2 lbs in five days, are you kidding me? That's fantastic! Not only that, but you ate out several times and even had a donut at church. Dare I say it, LIVING!! Don't fool yourself for a second Bud, you're doing great!

[dazygyrl]

thanks, bud. i know...maybe i should quit reading all the hcg threads. and i was disciplined...i passed on the donut last sunday. <pat, pat> lol... still deciding about this coming sunday

[dazygyrl]

good morning, sunshine!

hope you are doing well today!

going good here...i was down a pound this morning!

not too much new other than that, i guess...just working today. noah and ella are both staying at a friend's house tonight (different ones, not the same friend ). there's a home football game tonight (high school). dh will take the older boys, i'm sure...can't decide yet if i want to go with...it's getting chilly in the evenings now. how about you, anything new?

have a great day!

[TerriMM]

Good Morning!
you're doing great! You should be narrowing in on pre-vacation weight.

I'm down .5 today. Can't wait to get back into the 120s.

Not a lot new here. We do have a camping trip coming up the first week of October. We got a cabin up in the Redwoods. Its way back in the back by the camp ground. So we can use the fire rings for the camp sites. The cabin has a little fridge and microwave and its own bathroom So looking forward to that. Can't decide if I'll be moving to P3 then or taking a P3 break to move back to P2 when we return.

Enjoy your glorious fall day!

[dazygyrl]

sounds very relaxing!! congrats on your downward motion, too! i'm still 5-7lbs away from pre-vacation, i think. :/ then need to work on 10 more after that.

for now, tho, i will focus on getting rid of the vacation business before my NEXT vacation with mom and sisters the end of oct. as i will want to ENJOY that time with them and not focus on food like the i did the cruise...i don't want to be behind (weight wise) starting that vacation out, kwim?

[dazygyrl]

good morning!

do you have a fun weekend planned? hope your scale was kind this morning.

for me...if i can, i sleep in on saturdays instead of my usual 5:30 am like on the weekdays. but i got up and weighed at 5:30 still since that is when i always weigh. i was down 1.4 from yesterday morning. went back to bed for about 3 hrs. weighed again and was down another .8 for a total of 2.2 down from yesterday. but i am going to hold off on recording the .8 till tomorrow morning to see if that was an accurate weight. if i am the same or below the lowest this morning, then i will know it was a true weight, but for now...so as not to be discouraged tomorrow by thinking i had a gain, i am only considering the 5:30 weight.

mom had her hubby, sister, her hubby & dd, and my grandparents are coming over for supper to see our pics and hear about our trip. it'll be a soup night. so am not overly worried.

[TerriMM]

Yup, I do that too. Much rather have two goods days in a row. Nice loss!

I was down 1.4 myself today. Turning out to be my best round. I just surpassed my first low carb load round into 1st place.

We have more of a honey do weekend this weekend. But will try to insert some drives & walks along the way.

Have a nice time with the folks. Got a story to tell you later about mine

[dazygyrl]

congrats to you!

your weekend still sounds like a good one. togetherness is always a good thing!

can't wait to hear your story.

two years ago today, dad won his battle with pain and went home. i miss him and love him so.

[TerriMM]

The joy in your heart being with him turned your face into a happy little girl. How lucky you are to have had him in your life

[TerriMM]

Morning Bud!
Finally made it into my decade 129.2 today!

How's your day?

[dazygyrl]

whoop, whoop! so happy for you!!

i didn't weigh this morning....had more of an S day yesterday, so didn't want to weigh. not horrible, just more than i have been eating thru the week. only "s" thing today was a piece of DQ ice cream cake we had at our friend's. they invited us over for lunch after church. proly won't weigh tomorrow either, just 'cuz...my wait till tuesday to weigh again.

other than my neck being a total mess again, the day has been good. my friend raised a really good point. when i was on the boat, i don't remember my neck bothering me. it started up again after we got home. i have told a couple people today, if i could get away with not sleeping, my neck would be fine. it's always after sleeping that it gets messed up. well, when my friend asked me that about how it felt on the boat, a light bulb went off. we sleep on a waterbed!! ding, ding, ding!!! could it be my bed??? so, i may get off the waterbed for a few days and kick kyle out of his bed to see what my neck does. i'm just so sick of it hurting....

[TerriMM]

Wow! Hope it's as simple as that! Sounds like you had a great weekend. I hope No S continues to treat you well.

[dazygyrl]

wouldn't that be lovely, if a simple bed change will help. we shall see...

i actually slept on the couch which is nice and flat and firm. it's comfy to lay on. just used one pillow like the chiro said. neck is still incredibly sore this morning, but i can't expect it to magically go away in one night. once i got situated in a position i felt ok (other than my hips getting sore, i can only lay on my sides, but that would eventually subside too.) but TURNING OVER...whoooo. that sends my neck into spasms...so then i have to deal with that till i get situated again....there was lots of tossing and turning but i did sleep too. i dunno...we'll see. i did order a new bed last night. will be delivered on friday. we have been married 17.5 years and this will be our first bed. he had the waterbed when we got married. i slept on a waterbed for years before i left home too...so i have slept on one more then not in the last 25+ years. pray the new helps!!

didn't weigh this morning...will have a GREAT N day and weigh tomorrow morning. was your scale happy this morning?

[TerriMM]

Will pray that it's as simple as that. Maybe your make a wish trip granted several wishes.

Scale was not so happy today. After eliminating the out of the box items, toning the calories back down and exercising I'm up 1.9. Still .70 below Friday. But really? Remember how my body used to prefer up days? Maybe it's trying to tell me that now.

[dazygyrl]

shoot...so you have been eating less calories? time to do some up days?

[TerriMM]

[dazygyrl]

morning!

hope you are well this morning!

i have been sleeping on the couch the last 2 nights. my neck is slowly starting to feel better. this morning hubby says, i sure hope that bed will fit down the stairs. that would have been nice to know before i ordered it. i did ask him if it would fit before i hit order and he said as long as the box spring is split, which it is. so we'll see .

got to visit the ER again last night. 10 min into kyle's game he was running in a punt return, got tackled. got up went to the huddle got his play for the next play...he is QB...ran in a TD...did the play for the 2 point conversion...got that. THEN thought his knee felt weird so looked at it and saw two big gashes right below his knee. when he was tackled for the punt return, he got under a pair of kleets. laid his knee open. so, 7 stitches later.....no restrictions on playing tho...whatever dad and i decide for restrictions.

didn't weigh this morning... just wasn't 'feeling it'. will proly go back to friday weigh-in. was your scale kinder this mroning? hope so!!

[TerriMM]

Never a dull moment with you girl

I'm so glad your neck is better!! I’ll bet the mattress will fit; it just may take some constructive maneuvering.

Well the scale is about the same. Up .10. The round is waning and so am I. I need to shake it up. Thinking about up day, down days. Not really prepared to do FF. DH comes home tonight. I know he's getting tired of it, so not sure how things will go.

[dazygyrl]

hmm...i would for sure try the up/down days. can't hurt, right?

[TerriMM]

Yep! I believe you're right. Up/Down it is. Eggs for breakfast

[dazygyrl]

[TerriMM]

Morning Bud,
Well Up day turned into more of a refeed. The cheeseburger was totally worth it. The pot pie, not so much. Today I'm doing a Fat Fast. Planning on three days at this point.

How's your day?

[dazygyrl]

morning. refeed can be good for motivation. have you seen that thread on a modified FF in the weight loss journal board? they are doing higher cals than the traditional FF. like 1700+

day is fine. just going to the shop. no-s'ing going well. will most likely weigh on friday.

[TerriMM]

No I haven't, thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Have a great day!

[dazygyrl]

:wave: good morning! how did your FF go? did the scale like it?

not much new here. same ol', same ol'

noah is having another MRI next wednesday. it will be at another hospital...the same one he had one at right before radiation started. so it will be a better comparison than the one he had in july. he'll also have his monthly checkup then too altho it's been over a month...but doc was gone believe. so, other than that...not much new.

[TerriMM]

Good Morning!
FF went well. Down about .30. I usually see more of the results the second day, so will wait until tomorrow to judge how it's really going. I read that thread yesterday. Holy Cow those girls can post! Picked up a few new ideas and great perspectives. Thanks for that.

Big that Noah's MRI shows nothing but great results.
