You can have booze on P3, just no sugary mixers. A lot of people have trouble with it though (points at self) so take it slow and easy if you do add it back.

Way too go on all the losses!!!

I figured after my loss yesterday I wouldn't see a loss today....BUT i was down to 180.2!!!
SO close to a different decade!!!

I was going to take a detox bath tonight...but one of my dogs carried my 2.2 lb box of sea salt outside and destroyed it!

Ya'll have a great day & enjoy your weekend!

I think the detox bath is usually done with epsom salt, but sea salt would probably work.

It's been a good week for me as well. I have lost 8.8 lbs so far this week and I am down 1.6 lbs from yesterday. I have managed to stick to the protocol despite the added stress from school and my MIL being admitted in to the hospital out of state.

[Doing It Right]

txladymedic, Great Job!!! Sorry about you MIL, but stay strong... you can do this. KUTGW!

Down 1.1 this morning! That really made my day, especially since I made about 80 chocolate covered strawberries and 2 bags of choc. covered pretzels for my daughter's Winter Formal dance dinner yesterday! It didn't really bother me because I knew if I had just one, I would regret it and it would put me back about 3 or 4 days!
Hope you are all having great losses!

I googled it the other day and found a ton of variations. The one I did pull had epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda. It was rather salty...but I dropped weight the next day....so I'm sold! lol...good thing I like salty dogs!



I got up today feeling like crud and a sore throat...BUT I was down 1.6 lbs so I'm good!!!

I hope everyone has a great sunday!

was wondering if a foot soak in the salt would do some good--seems like it should do some-----don't have time for the bath soak either, but could do this if its not for to long----

Those detox baths are sooooo nice, aren't they? I've never actually looked for a recipe online, just what my Naturopath told me. 2 cups of epsom salt in as hot of water as you can, then at the end, dump a few cups of cold water over your torso. Don't usually do that last part! lol!

Sorry you're not feeling well. Pump those fluids and rest, rest, rest. Maybe another detox bath is in your near future...

What about when the kiddos nap (if they still do)? Or at night after you put them to bet? Those baths are so relaxing right before crawling into bed to sleep... It would help you get rid of that extra water too... You've gotta make time for yourself, too. I know, a lot easier said than done with little ones.

I think it's after 60 posts. Then if you go to the User Control Panel at the top of this screen it will bring you to another page. On the left side you'll see a tab that says edit signature. Click on it. Then you have to add to the big window [SIGPIC][SIGPIC]. Down below that you'll see a place where you can add a web address link to the ticker you've made (assuming you've made a ticker on a different web site, like tickerfactory or something).
This part I had to play around with, but it should start with http:// and is has to end with bng. Hope that helps...

WOOHOO! Getting to new territory is awesome! I'm keeping just at your heels...

[hcground1]

Well, another pound down today! Tom showed up last night, so was surprised by the loss. But bernice visited before I weighed in and I slept in by an hour and a half. We'll see if I have a loss tomorrow, but I'm sure glad for today's!

[fultymom]

Down .7 today

We even made a trip to the casino, dh, myself, dd and her dh. I took my dinner and ate it along the way (it's an hour and a half trip, one way) and ate apples on the way home. They stopped at In & Out burger on the way home, but I stayed in the car I just didn't want to see those burgers!

Congrats on the losses!!

Well, today I entered virgin territory! 125.4!!!

I think I'm going to leave 120 my goal weight, and just accept my saddlebags. I have an interruption coming up on Friday, so 4 more days of VLCD and then my plan is to stick to P3 eating during this week-long interruption (which should be good for my psyche), and then back to the VLCD to finish off these last few pounds and get to goal.

I have already acknowledged in my head that I will not feel awful if I bump up about 2 pounds during my interruption (I always end P3 about 2 lbs over LDW), and I just hope I really stick to P3 and will not be tempted to try (or "taste") starches (I can actually forgo sugar pretty easily, but starches I really miss).

Congrats to all the losers as we start a new week!

Wow, you have great willpower! I'm going to use this as inspiration in my upcoming interruption.

I know that feeling! Finally passing a prior LDW is such a relief!

That is awesome!!
I also got some of my old clothes out size 10 and they fit!!
Bought a pair of pants last night size 10 petite and didnt try them on before buying them and they fit!!
I am excited that I am down a size finally after 33 lb lost.

I am up 1lb this morning I even took a detox bath last night hoping to stave of a gain. For some reason I had a feeling I would gain. I was pretty good over the weekend, maybe had a little extra salt. so I am up a total of 1.4 for the last 2 days
Need to get back on track, will be really good today and see if it comes back off, hope so!!

It feels so good to fit into clothes again. I don't have to stand in my closet looking for things that fit and trying on item after item to find out I look horrible. It really is a boost to your spirit! Keep up the good work! Lyn
