~~P3/4 Simeon's Protocol Week of March 12, 2012~~

[julieboolie]

Theresa- on the donuts! Sounds like mild edema. Can you rest w/ your feet up this evening and drink lots of water and tea? Sounds like you're def. retaining water. The GYCD is my favorite. Straightens out any tummy issues, and I peed a million times the other day on my GYCD. I didn't like the chicken one (minimal loss 1lb) and the egg one ruined me for eggs for a while and gave me NO loss!!Hope yours goes well. I love GY so it's not even a hardship for me! on the compliment!! That's very cool!! I'm w. you. Only a few of my friends know how I'm losing weight right now. Either they have done it themselves, or really want/need to lose and have asked me for help. I explained it as a cleanse/detox diet once and the other person asked if I was taking hcg while doing it .

Heather-so glad you're doing well w/ JUDDD! And the GYCD doesn't work for you!! You gained on it? Wow!! W/ 32oz? That's crazy!! I'm sorry. Maybe you're sensitive to yogurt? It's definitely my favorite one, feels really decadent and indulgent, not like a punishment!! But, you're not alone. Other people have had a hard time w/ the GYCD. Another YMMV thing I suppose.

Shelby-thanks for your JUDDD translation! I'm so happy it's working well for you!!

I just baked a lb of bacon to take camping. This way I can throw it in the frying pan quickly Sat. morning then make the eggs in the little bit of grease they leave as they're warming up. Much faster and less messy this way too!! We're doing all beef Hebrew Nat'l hot dogs over the fire Friday night, eggs/bacon Sat morning, lunchmeat/cottage cheese for lunch, chicken foil pouches for dinner Sat., and out to breakfast Sunday morning!! I will also allow a SF Dilly bar from our regular DQ visit, and am bringing along the Diamond cocoa almonds (splenda and AceK sweetened) for a treat while the rest of my gang does popcorn and smores! I really hope to come back at LDW. We'll see. I guess that'll depend on how I do on the scale tomorrow. I suppose I'd be happy to just be in my window. But I've been really carfeul so far, and don't think 2 days w/o my scale will hurt me. But, you never know. Bfast will be the only wild card but the place we always go (Coffee Pot Rest. in Sedona) makes great omlettes and I get cottage cheese as the side.

I hope you all have a great weekend. We're trying to leave early tomorrow to enjoy the whole day up in Sedona. I hope to take lots of pics this trip. I've gotten out of the habit lately. I need a good "after" .

[icecreamjunkie]

ok. just tooka detox bath...only lasted 30 mins...I'm always dizzy + heart racing when i get out Is yhat normal?

riteaid has epsom salts b1g1 w/ the card so i stocked up!!

ok, in the event i don't lose...do i carry on or switch cd's?? I'm trying to anticipate...though the restroom has been a bit kinder to me! lol....i'm sure ya'll wanted to know this much about me!

I found the cutest house for sale back home...less than what i will sell this one for and it is STINKIN' cute!

BUT i'm still here for almost 4 mos

Leona, i've found it best to not panic about it (yes, i know....i panic like a champ!)It just causes it to be delayed even more....I'm praying for mine to come and GO already!!

Julie have FUN!!! I Sedona! Truly a magical place!!

[hcground1]

Yes Theresa, I'm trying not to get too annoyed by Tom's absence, but I have a laser hair removal appointment that I've already had to reschedule because I thought Tom would be here... It's for my bikini line, and I'd so much prefer to not have Tom visiting while I go there!

Also, just fyi, aside from aesthetics, the laser hair removal hurts WAAAAAY more when you are coming up to TOM or if it's here. Trust me on this...

[julieboolie]

Leona-hcg messes w/ my cycle too. It usually brings it early, not late though. A baby would be a lovely surprise!!

Do any of you guys just get tired of paying attention to everything you eat? I find myself just wanting to throw caution to the wind and chow down as I see fit!! We went to Freddy's tonight (not sure if you have them where you live, like Culver's) anyway, they make delicious burgers, shoestring fries (like Steak and Shake in FL), and homemade custard. It's phenomenal!! I was good though, got my lettuce wrapped burger, sauteed onions and just watched my dd's and dh eat their fries and custard. It's not junky ice cream, it's real custard!! Yum!! Anyway, just a little whine to those who understand- will I ever be like "everyone else" and able to occasionally have this type of food and relax about it? I really hope(d) Simeon's claims of metabolism/hypothalmus reset were legit. I know some have said they feel like it's happened for them. It's too soon for me to say, but it's highly unlikely that'll happen for me. I will probably always have to watch. But, I do plan, once securely through P4, to dabble in SAD eating. I know if I'm careful and do a CD the next day I should be able to stay in my window. But I look around at restaurants and see what other people eat and wonder why aren't they fat? I highly doubt they go home and run 5 miles or eat only chicken thighs the next day? Sorry to be a bummer. But, I was just reflecting on this tonight. Growing wearing of being careful .

Anyway, on that note, I'm off to drink my flavored water and then off to bed .

[julieboolie]

BTW, does the laser hair removal actually work for you guys? I didn't have lasting results with it!

Oh Julie, this is something I was thinking about just today...
I am already getting sick of plugging in all my foods, and micromanaging everything I eat. I don't, however, believe I will ever be able to eat 'whatever' I want like Simeon said. I know from trial and error, that my body does not do well w/ grains at all. I seemed to do fine w/ potatoes here and there, and even some sugar on occasion, but not grains. Even gf grains are hugely inflammatory to me. (sigh) It is hard going out to eat, and being the only one w/ food 'sensitivites.' We don't eat out much because two of our kids have celiac, so it's very hard for me to trust restaurants. But even eating at my own table I have a hard time with feeling restricted. You are not alone.

As far as the laser hair removal, this is my first. Both my sisters have done it though, with great and lasting results. There may be some stray hairs that begin to regrow, but after 6 treatments, which is what I bought, they should be very minimal. That's what I've been told.

Julie & Leona, I totally feel ya! I don't think I have ever been able to eat w/o worries...not even when I was a teen. I always worked out like a crazy person to keep it off...then of course, stopped working out! I always wonder why on earth some people eat like u know what and never gain an ounce...then I watch what I do, try to be super careful and wham! 100lbs before I know it...ok, well, not that fast...I knew the 100 was coming on...I just wasn't sure how to stop it!

What is SAD? I haven't heard of that one?!? lol...and I was just thinking coming in today that I have probably read and researched absolutely every diet/book out there...I should go back to school and get my degree in nutrition! lol...should be a breeze!

On an up note! I was down SIX (6) pounds this morning!!
now i know i will most likely show a gain in the am. I did take a water pill...got NO sleep due to bathroom trips! My dogs were not happy about being roused in their sleep every time mommy had to piddle!
BUT GYCD is my NEW BFF!!! lol and I even had an ounce and a half of crack last night! Lol...i crack my self up when I say it like that! Sounds horrid of me!

I hope everyone has a great day! I will check in at lunch. It is going to be a long day. I have a gallery reception this evening an hour north of where I work for some of my students....then a two hour trip back to my house! and I wore heels...WTH was I thinking???

[LaraSuzz]

Omg Theresa, 6 pounds on a GY day??? Fabulous!! Happy for you!! I think I will buy a Greek Yogurt company LOL!!!!

[shelbyla]

Morning ladies and happy FRIDAY!!!!! Sitting around waiting for Bernice to arrive. <sigh> These things always take time especially when my body thinks it's 5am but the clock says 6. Gah. DST--NOT a huge fan!

Anyway, I had and interesting moment last night. I have what I like to refer to as reverse body dysmorphia. Whenever I look in the mirror, I see the same size, regardless of how much I weigh. It's not that I think I look bad, it's that I can't really "see" the change, kwim? It's only pictures and clothes that tell me that I've truly lost or gained weight. Well, last night, I was standing at the sink, taking my makeup off... Keep in mind yesterday was an UD so I had eaten a HUGE amount of food... And I thought to myself, "Damn, girl! You look GOOD! You look THIN!" This, my friends, was a huge moment for me. I could actually SEE myself and how I looked. It was a little strange in a good way. Different. I think my mind is catching up with my body!

And thinking about this, I don't really care what the scale says! (And it is up 0.6 pounds but after what and when I ate yesterday that's perfectly fine!) Today should be an interesting DD as I will be ingesting a good portion of my calories in alcohol and oysters. We'll see how THAT goes!

Mornin'! Happy Friday, all!

Ugh, I'm waiting for Bernice as well, I think. Can't remember the last time!

WOW!! That's an amazing realization. Seriously, I totally understand! You've been thin for a looong time in my eyes lol But that's awesome that you see it too! Is your weight in the 140s these days? How tall are you?

[Millenia98]

Today, I’m exactly the same as yesterday. I usually stabilize perfectly around week 3. Now that this is 4th round, I like to do 5 weeks of P3 before moving into P4. But I since went up this past weekend, I’ve been real careful and trying to eat more clean (b/c I did finally lose those pesky 2lbs). I miss my fatty fatty greek yogurt!!! Cabot, I need youuu!!! I want to endulge a bit tonight. We’ll see.

I have to say…I’ve been having fun with smoothies this past week. Frozen berries, Jay Robb protein, lots of ice, a dash of cream cheese, one splenda. YUM!

I think we are all there with you! When we go out for ice cream my kids never ask what I am going to have...because I never get anything....always on a stupid diet.
It's funny how food and what I can have and can't have seems to be on my mind most of the day. I have a "very skinny" friend who "eats because she has to not because she wants to" attitude but she has always been that way. She complains because she can't put on weight. Oh to have such problems just for a week.
Well it's Friday!! So far I have been doing JUDDD for 4 days and I am down 4 lbs. Hope it continues...it would be nice on an UD to be able to get ice cream with my kids one night. (they would probably fall over!)

[heatherwagnon]

well after a DD i'm up 1.6 putting me 1 over my liw...whatever it's partially my fault since i ate a pb sandwhich and goldfish for dinner, I was in too much pain from the dental work I had and just didn't give a crap, litacaine and pain probably helped my gain as well, well head down and keep moving is what I say, great thing about juddd is i lose every dd when i'm good, last night i was not

I think that we can eventually eat "whatever we want" so long as the food is HEALTHY - meaning nothing processed, with added sugars, etc., etc.

I really think humans weren't designed to eat the processed junk that is so common (and tasty) today - and so much of what I read indicates that the processed foods set up an "addiction" cycle of craving ever more even when your body/metabolism doesn't need it.

That said, I do enjoy the occasional treat - pizza and beer is my favorite - and I indulge once or twice a year ... at which point some heavy individuals might think that I can eat like that daily and stay slender ...

Yes--my weight is sticking in the low 140's--142.7 this morning to be exact. That's 1.3 above my LDW but still comfortably in my REAL window (not all those "adjusted" windows that I kept making for myself!) AND yesterday was an UD with yoga so I have a feeling I might see a whooshie tomorrow after the inflammation dies down (my yoga instructor is the DEVIL even if he is cute as a button!) and my DD today. We'll see. There will still be the white wine factor to contend with. (I've got an event tonight so saving my DD calories for that.)

I'm with you guys as well. I think I have finally come to the realization that I WILL need to keep an eye on it for the rest of my life if I want to stay at this weight. It's a little sad but that's the breaks. I just want to be able to occasionally indulge in wine or sweets or ice cream without huge gains. After I get past my first 2-3 weeks of JUDDD, I am going to start experimenting with some carbs. Maybe I'll pick up some breadsticks and just have one or two of those on DDs. Seems worth a try anyway! I WILL eat sushi again and dangit, I WILL be having Guiness this weekend!

I've heard that if you are not used to eating carbs, that this happens, even on DDs. I've gained after DDs too for no reason other than the phase of the moon! I think one day last week I was up almost a pound after a picture perfect LC DD where I ate like 525 calories. The water weight will be off in no time. Enjoy your UD today!

Oh and whoever asked about "SAD"-- that would be the Standard American Diet, i.e. 75% carbs, junk, fast food, frozen dinners, etc., etc.

Oh no! Dental pain is the worst!!! I went through it at the end of p2 and it was no fun! I hope you feel much better soon!!!

[hcground1]

Wow Ice! GYCD does agree with you! WTG!

Shelby - So glad you're feeling and seeing your loss. It's amazing how our mind can trick us into seeing what's not really there. I suffer from the same thing, but it's getting better.

Heather - Sorry you were up. I guess sometimes we learn the hard way. I hope your mouth is feeling better, too.

Millenia - Those smoothies sound good! I've been a bit afraid to try fruit yet, but I'm getting quite a few carbs in my morning juice... so, fruit in addition, I'm afraid would kind of throw me over the top!

[hcground1]

I'm the same today, sitting at .4 under LDW. Ate over 1700 calories yesterday, including more carbs than I have been. I ate 73 total grams of carbs, all in the form of veggies. But I've been trying to keep them under 50 each day, which has been hard with my morning juice. Who would have thought carrot juice had so many carbs in it?

I made a super yummy dip to go with our meatloaf last night. I took one large ripe avocado, 1/2 C sour cream, a whole bunch of cilantro, and a couple jalapenos and pureed it all in my food processor. S and P to taste. It was soooooo good! And I ate more roasted broccoli than I had allowed myself, thus putting my carb count over! No harm done though. I'll probably see if I can get away with a few more carbs today as well.

Have a great day!

[Ladybates]

Cong rats Ice!!! Glad that your GYCD worked out so well for you.
I expected to see a gain this morning after having that huge loss yesterday but it wasn't as bad as I expected, I was only up .4 lbs. I can deal with that because im still below my LDW. Enjoy your day, anytime I have a good weight in the morning, my whole day seems to go great...ENJOY!!!

[icecreamjunkie]

<sorry for the duplicate post on the p2/p3 thread. >

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!
I was going to change the font to green....but we can't.

I am one happy camper!! I was STILL 264.4 this morning!!! Can i keep it????? lol I was expecting a bit of a gain....but it made me happy today!

I'm supposed to clean, pack & get my taxes (from LAST year ) ready before my parents get here next saturday!!! I'm excited that they are coming for a few weeks but they are also bringing me super yummy BBQ brisket from texas! and taking more of my stuff back home with them before I make my big move in June! I found the CUTEST house ever for sale south of their area....but it is still to far out to be looking at houses.


Hope every one has a great day!! Since I am in savannah (we have a 1,000,000 + ppl here ) I'm going to the meat market, michaels + coming home....I DO NOT like crowds...

[HCG girl]

Shelby: Congrats on your break through. You are skinny girl!!

Happy Friday!!
Well, it's spring break week here this week and I've spent the whole week with my kiddo's. The last 2 days my DH has been off and been with us. We've been having too much fun and too much food
Today I weighted in @ 7lb above LIW!!!!! I cant believe that I really let myself go this wild. Doing a correction day today. Not sure which one. I was looking up the different ones out there this morning. Hope that this really works!! Guess I will have to do several correction days to take off all the extra!!
I have been doing so well till this set back!! I did it to myself so I only have myself to blame. I am starting Round 3 April 1st, cant wait to start- looks like i really need it!!
Hope this correction day works
good luck everyone

[hcground1]

Lady and Ice - Wow! Great job on keeping off those losses!

Kim - Sorry your up, that's such a temptation for me, enjoying good food with my family. We loooove to eat around here! I've been making chocolate chip (gf) pancakes for my kids the last 3 weekends in a row, and let me tell you, it's hard not to eat one. I'm sure you'll be able to get it down though. That gycd seems like a miracle!


I'm the same again today. 3 days in a row. I'm feeling pretty good about it. I'm going to up my carbs even a bit more today, adding in an apple. We shall see how it treats me.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!!
Well, it's spring break week here this week and I've spent the whole week with my kiddo's. The last 2 days my DH has been off and been with us. We've been having too much fun and too much food
Today I weighted in @ 7lb above LIW!!!!! I cant believe that I really let myself go this wild. Doing a correction day today. Not sure which one. I was looking up the different ones out there this morning. Hope that this really works!! Guess I will have to do several correction days to take off all the extra!!
I have been doing so well till this set back!! I did it to myself so I only have myself to blame. I am starting Round 3 April 1st, cant wait to start- looks like i really need it!!
Hope this correction day works
good luck everyone

I highly recommend the greek yogurt! lol..and it was really good! lol...NOT that I am an expert...but I was totally happy with the result!

I made the best veggie for lunch! I took two cups of cabbage and cooked it in my bacon drippings w/ a tablespoon of butter and garlic...i would have put an onion in it if i had it...and ate it with a chicken thigh...omgee! I feel like i'm cheating! But it was so good!! I'm going to try to add in an extra veggie with dinner and see how that goes...since I am technically a pound below my ldw window...but i'm NOT complaining! loving it!

Good afternoon ladies, I hope that everyone is having a great weekend and that the scale is being pleasing to all. As for me, I guess my GYCD is still working on me because now I'm 2 lbs below my LDW. I keep waking up to a loss, even when it's not expected. I know that it sounds like I'm complaining...believe me I'm not.

DD yesterday netted me a loss of 1.7, down to BELOW LDW, and I even ate oysters and had wine last night! I am so excited that I am finally finally stabilizing at the bottom end of my range. Corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot and it smells like St. Paddy's day around here!
