For dinner, we went to a buffet pizza place (moms were free!) and I ate a salad and pizza toppings.

I was up .6 today, back to yesterday's weight, and I'm okay with that. Back on HHCG and P2 today.

FANTASTIC job, sunflower! That's the way to do it right! Good for you!

Berta - so sorry to hear about your disappointment with the day although it seems like the day got better for you later! Keep your chin up, carry on with the vlcd, and most importantly BE PATIENT. Sometimes a cheat can set us back a full week, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes people LOSE after cheats. In any case, be prepared for some wonky scale action this week!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for me, I was up a pound today but I am totally ok with that because I am sunburned and was basically a complete couch potato yesterday. I skipped the yoga as I was feeling a little sore from the walk Saturday and I also felt something like a UTI coming on (I'm prone to them) and didn't think being in a super hot room would make that any better. Also, if I'm fighting a UTI that means inflammation. Inflammation = water weight. Got up this morning, did 25 minutes on the treadclimber, and am feeling mostly back to normal. Hoping for a drop tomorrow but feeling thinner by the day.

In another related note...why are "the girls" always the first thing to go??? Are they really that "abnormal"? I've got plenty of abnormal fat left on my legs thankyouverymuch...

Have a great day everyone...

Thank you, shelby! I forgot to mention that they had a dessert plate with cheesecake, tiramisu and german chocolate cake on it for each of us. AND a box of 4 of the most delightful cake balls ever for each of us. I know this because I made my daughter let me smell them! I took both items home for the kiddos to share!

I love the "feeling thinner by the day" comment! Congrats!!!

On VLCD11 and I am down .5 this morning. That means I am 1 pound below my lowest weight last summer. I feel like I got past a sticking point, so that is cool!

Had a great Mother's Day yesterday. My 4-year-old daughter danced with her little troop in both services at church and my parents and mother-in-law were there too see her. Then we all went to Panera Bread for lunch. My sister told me this is the only place she can eat on the VLCD days and still lose weight. I got the Caesar salad with no cheese, croutons, or dressing and brought my own dressing. And of course ordered the apple instead of the bread that goes with it. It was so good! My mom is also doing HCG with me, so she ordered the same thing.

Wow sounds like you did great.I had fully intended to stay on plan.We went and I was going to order grilled shrimp.But they only had breaded.Also the same with the chicken.So DH and I BOTH ordered steak and eggs. Then I ate the hashbrowns and toast too..Just was to much temptation along with feeling blue( I know now that was a dumb excuse)

Maggie you are doing great KUTGW.I was going to do a 40 day but have decided(I THINK) to do a 30 day instead.It is getting extremely hard for me not to cheat.I want to loose this and I know I have at least 4 or 5 more RNDS to go so I think I will cut this one short.I will have to wait until I get to my 30th day then I'll decide.Which that will be the 24th.(two days no HHCG and 500 cal w/o it)So I would begin PH3 on Sun the27th!
