New week , people.....

[minimonkey]

I'm on plan and off the scale until TOM leaves -- and I am just fine with that. Got an early morning, so will be back later for personals and such....

[mdolph]

Marking my spot!

I'm being very productive today! I started going through this bin of crap (no better way to describe it) that I keep in the kitchen that is for donations, consignments and give away. I managed to get everything in categories and I'm going off to take things to their rightful owners. I'm just starting to go through the playroom and I'm going to eat lunch with my son in about an hour! After that I'm off to the gym for a personal training session and then to Target to make some returns I've been putting off. I'm totally BROKE so I need to get this done! By the time I'm done with that it'll be time to get my son off the bus and then pick up my daughter from school! Oh and did I make mention with all this I managed to get some laundry done, file my taxes and get some episodes of Glee watched and off the dvr???

Have a great one ladies! I should get dressed and looking pretty. Don't want to embarrass my son at school by showing up in my sweatpants!

[minimonkey]

Melanie -- you're my hero!!!

As for me, I am needing to get out the door, and finding that challenging enough all around.

It's day 14 of protocol, and I am actually feeling pretty good this morning Hope my next bottle ships today to get here by Friday -- that will ease my mind a bit. If not, I should have it Monday, and that *should* be sufficient.

[catjrow3]

Marking my spot on the new thread.

Zoe you are doing great. I am sure you will have a nice loss when you return to the scale.

Melanie, I am sure the extra 6 will be gone in a few days!

Have a great monday everyone!!

[dazygyrl]

good morning. i'm down 3.4 after my first very rogue (830 cals w/ fat) day LCD with hcg.

just at my shop today working on orders and gymnastics this evening with dd. it's our weekly girl's evening. we eat supper then go to gymnastics. going with 4 nuggets from mcd's for supper....told ya i'm rogue!

the rest of my day's menu is:

3/4 c egg beaters scrambled, topped with .5 T butter, sprinkled w/ xylitol/cinnamon

4oz of my high fat yogurt w/ ezsweets & vanilla, topped w/ a bit of granola

4oz 93/7 burger w/ .5 T lite miracle whip and sf ketchup

eating at mc'ds....going with 4 nuggets.

cals: 830 (54g fat)

[julieboolie]

Morning girls! Off to a new week!

I ate out yesterday, which I always dread on P2. I STS today, which is fine w. me. I came in around 600cals yesterday, but when I eat out I never expect a loss. Always a gamble.

Mel-you're very industrious!! Good for you!! enjoy your day!

Mini-hope you get a nice whoosh next time you weigh!

Cat-hope things are going well for you!!

For those who gained over the weekend, hope you enjoyed it!! I'm sure it'll come back off!! We can do it!!

I'm on day 13 and feeling pretty good still. Need to get my multi-vit, I ran out. But, overall, this round is going well. I'm sure the inevitable stall will be along shortly. But, can't complain. Happy enough w. my current weight. If I can lose a few more lbs and stabilize there I'll be quite pleased.

My mom seems to be doing better. Thanks for the prayers and support. My SIL had her baby last night, so I have a cute new nephew-Cameron! God is good!!

Onward and downward!! Make it a great week girls!!

[julieboolie]

Carrie! Hope your rogue round goes well!! Sounds good to me right now, on close to protocol!!

[ellenalesa]

Hi Ladies!

Loading today, and then re-starting. I am going to re-read P&I to learn more about this and get really comfortable with it. TOM threw me off, I think.

REALLY enjoying the high fats....

[CherylB]

Welcome to the world, Cameron! Nice to hear you exist! Be a good boy, listen to and respect your elders (which would be everyone you meet, at least for a while) and have yourself a good and happy life!

Carrie, nice results, you rogue you!

Melanie, hope you have a very fun day today. WTG on getting through all that sorting. I need to follow in your footsteps.

Copping a squat to mark my spot, too! Taking the dog to the Vet at 5:20 this afternoon to get her tail growth checked out. Two nights in a row now that she's taken off the bandage. She apparently ate this last one. It's still there (the growth) but maybe her licking it has actually helped it some. I still want it evaluated.

Called the lawyer to tell him I got the "law day" letter. Was going to see him this Wednesday but good thing I called! He had a death in the family and is going to be gone Wednesday and Thursday and will be in court all day on Friday. So he told me what forms to fill out from what online website and where to go to file on Friday. Looks like I'm going Chapter 13 again. He said that this could give me 2-3 more months. So be it.

Back on plan as of today. Not counting my days off-plan, this is VLCD20. I am going to avoid the scale for at least 4 days so I don't have to see what damage I've done as I self-soothed all weekend long.

This winter continues to be wild/mild. It's cold every night but so mild during most days. It's in the 40's and heading up into the 50's later this week. I'm enjoying the heck out of it!

Hugs and love to everyone of us (including myself.) Let's make this week a rockin' week of great losses on the scale and great NSV's, too.

Hey everyone, just got news that my dad fell again last night trying to go to the bathroom, so they have now moved him permanently to a hospice care facility. He is unable to swallow or talk, and they are giving him a max of 10 days to live. They say he's not in any pain. I don't think I'm going to drive up to Colorado to see him. We were up there a few months ago and had a very nice visit, and we've talked on the phone several times these last few weeks. I've cried with him and told him how much I love & appreciate him. I feel like we've said everything that needs to be said and he knows I've given him my blessing to go home to God. I will drive up for the funeral, though. I hope this is ok. I've never been through anything like this before, so I'm not sure what's expected. I want to remember him the way he was when I saw him last. My stepmom said neither of them expect me to come up right now and they know I love him.

*Sigh* This sucks.

On a bright note, I'm down 2.4 lbs after a Fage day yesterday. I'm happy for the loss but boy, was it a tough day yesterday. I was pretty much starving the whole day. On P3, I love Fage days, but on P2 they stink as you can only have 17oz the whole day. Hopefully the loss will stick. I have just 6 more days of shots. Hoping to drop 2.4 more pounds by Sunday.

I downloaded an e-book by Sonia Russell that claims to be a no-fail, no-correction-days-needed plan for P3. I struggled a bit in P3 last time so I'm hoping by following her method, I will be able to stabilize easily this time.

Don't have the mental energy for personals right now. Hope y'all understand and that everyone has a great day.

[pendragginp]

Hello everyone,

I've read on this area quite a bit the last few weeks for inspiration but seldom post. But hikergirl, I wanted to tell you that your Dad and your family are held in my prayer and thought. ((hikergirl and Dad))

Big hugs Hikergirl! I remember losing my dad... its very hard. Where in Colorado is your dad? I am Ft. Collins!

[minimonkey]

Hi all --Prayers for Hiker's dad, Cheryl's housing, and for Noah!

Dazy and Hiker -- NICE losses! Julie -- very glad this round is going well for you!!!

And, boy, am I interested in a no-fail p3 plan -- I am going to go search that out!

Another day, going fine -- just hoping I don't end up having to interrupt the dosing due to delayed shipment of the 'goods' -- lol.

He's in Grand Junction. I grew up in the Springs

[Gremom]

and hikergurl. Sorry to hear about your dad. I am glad that you had some good times recently that you can hold on to. Congrats on the loss too. KUTGW!

Just a quick pop in to mark my spot. Looks like everyone is doing pretty good. I didn't weigh this morning b.c I was up at 4am when DH left for work and didn't fall back to sleep for while. Hoping to go to bed early tonight. But I have a field trip with DD1 tomorrow, so I have to be ready for that.

BBL!

[DisneyPrincess]

Good evening. It's been a long sad weekend that is coming to an end with news that they are keeping Dh an extra week. They are cutting into the little time we have left before deoyment
Needless to say the last few days were terrible and I even had a huge binge. I faced the scale this morning and I weigh more than I have in over 2 years
So i decided I'm starting the juice cleanse tomorrow. I'm ready to go and have no excuses. I need to get control over my life

[minimonkey]

Big hugs, Disney!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry for your current situation!!!

[ellenalesa]

Just wanted to pop in and let you know we're holding good thoughts for you...

Wishing everyone whooshes!

Spring is coming....and I want to be ready for it. I have been doing Callanetics and need to do some upper body work, but my shoulders are still being rehabbed, so I have to take it easy for now. Later on in the week I will try some light exercises and see how they feel.

I had a car accident in June of 2010 and had problems with my back for quite some time. Sat. nite I went to a party and wore boots w/2 inch heels with no problem. I'm delighted because I thought my heel wearing days were over...and I like 3 inch heels!

Looking forward to wearing cute little sundresses with pretty sandals. Funny how a simple thing like a little heel can totally change an outfit!

[paulabob]

Subbing in....sending virtual strength to everyone suffering right now! Gotta work, but thinking of you each.

Wow! You've had a productive day!
Your kids had school?

Big hugs to you Jackie... For every reason under the sun for the last 2-3 months I was out of control (still not 100% sure I am in control now) but I managed to put on 25 lbs pounds in the binge/purge/starve cycles and and am very unhappy about the outcome, but hopefully I am in control again and will have to take the slow route back down to try to avoid the loss of control again. Just wanted to tell you I understand your frustration and pain with the whole situation and out of control life. (not the hubby part .... sure that is doubly hard). I hope whatever you decide works out well for you, but take care of yourself and hugs to get you through the rough times!

[minimonkey]

Hugs to you too, Cathy! I am sorry to hear you have been in such a bad place with the diet cycles -- and I think taking the "slow road" is a very wise choice - severe restriction seems to make things much, much worse for some people.

Just big hugs all around to everyone who needs them.

Thanks Zoe... I just cannot do HCG, sets me off, but I like the quicker pace, so I keep wanting to try it, and its just been a nightmare for the last couple of months to the point I am miserable where I am at, but I have one full week under my belt (M-S) of no bingeing cycles, so I am hoping for a start of a slow recovery. But I appreciate the thoughts and hugs, I sure could use some "calmness" and easiness right now and will have to settle for "slow" BOO!! But its better than overall gaining with the ups and downs... I am going to TKB tonight for the first time in over a month too.... hopefully that will be good as well! I miss it! And if I am lucky, I can start running in the next week or so..

I keep reading every post everyday, just dont usually have much input since I am not doing HCG at all... Love you all, you are so great!

[minimonkey]

Whooohooo for the one full week, Cathy! That's a great victory

[minimonkey]

I'm hoping I get my bottle this week, too -- although I suppose a couple days without it wouldn't kill me, particularly if I sub the hhcg in the meantime. I just really want to be done with this, and I am on a roll at the moment.

I doubt I will need the whole round but one never knows. I hope not. Even the easiest of protocol rounds takes it out of me a bit.

I'm looking forward to the bloat going away so I know what Mr. Scaley has to say -- I suspect he might have good news for me.

Thank you. It's good to know that someone understands. I'm sorry you went through this as well.

I can't do hHCG right now either. I'm hoping the cleanse takes away some major cravings and that out of control feeling.

With that said- I'm all set for tomorrow

[julieboolie]

DP-I'm so sorry your dh will be delayed another week. That's so unfair!! I'm sorry for your rough time. I hope things get easier soon.

Hikergurl-I am so sorry!! and I understand the dilema about going home or not. If your stepmom and dad are telling you not to come, abide those wishes. I was with my dad when he passed 5 years ago and the memory haunts me still. Not how I want to remember him. It's best to remember him as you do. I still ache for my dad, and miss him every day, but I try to be thankful for the time I did have with him.

Mini-hope your stuff comes in time! You're in the zone.

Cheryl-sorry about your situation! There's bound to be a light at the end of the tunnel!

Ellen-you'll look great in your sundresses.

Cat-hope your foot will let you run. I know what you mean about the binge after hcg temptation. When I am done w/ P2 I feel so entitled to eat what I want. I think the restriction is so severe that the rebound effect is as severe.

I'm trying to look at it as a 9 week program of different levels of sacrifice. The stabilization process is as important and I hope that I take it seriously and do well this round. I'm half way through this stage .

Have a great evening guys!!

I cant do cleanses either! LOL Nothing too severe or it sets me off... I hope it works well for you, and we are all here for you if needed!

Nope, cant run yet. I just got back from TKB and could not do the jumps or the jumping rope movements. Still gonna be a week or two maybe before I can get back to that...
