First Timer Starting Today......Anyone Else? - Page 6

C'Marie · 06-23-2012, 01:24 AM

My first P3 day went great - I stayed within my calories for my Up day JUDDD rotation. Although one thing I didn't consider - I made a paleo carrot cake with almond flour and I was going to have NO NUTS for at least a week. FACE PALM. So even though I did that, i was still under calories (slightly) when I put that paleo recipe I modified into an online calculator, it was only about 1/3 the size of the recipe, and I only had 1/4 of THAT, and it was nearly 600 calories. Holy moly. In the past, I would have eaten quite a bit more because it was "healthy" OMG. Well, almond flour, coconut oil, flax seed, carrots, raising, eggs, while all very very healthy, have aLOT of calories. I guess I will not be lazy tracking calories or guessing anymore!

Skinnyb, it is hard to go out with people who are eating like crazy and you're sitting there sipping your water. I totally understand. I went out on Saturday night and had.....beer. I don't even like beer.

Desma, a friend of mine does an apple day once a week to spur some movement. I have not tried it yet.

I am up a pound. I had an outpatient procedure yesterday...and I know with all the IV's they had in me, it has to be fluid. I barely ate, I was so nauseous from the pain killers.

Hopefully, I'll be back down tomorrow.

I hope you feel better DRM and heal quickly but more importantly......correctly.

Wow.....you drank a beer and don't even like it huh? I tell you temptation is something else! Sometimes it has you eating and drinking things you wouldn't have even thought about before! I'm thinking about doing an apple day just to see what happens......

soontobesexy'ntx · 06-27-2012, 05:50 AM

apple days are hard. I think its tecnally at PH 3 or4 but what worked for me was a steak day. drink alot of water and go as long as you can before you eat (I usualy could make it til about 1:30) then eat the biggest steak you can find I would go to Logan's steak house and order a steak NO potato, large salad. eat ALL of it then drink the rest of the day allowed beverages
I usually lost 3-5lbs doing that.

DRM · 06-27-2012, 07:46 AM

Hmmm, I may do a steak day on Friday. That sounds like it may be a good deal. It would help if I would have a BM.

What's up soontobesexy'ntx?

Regarding the steak day.......did you still take the HCG or did you do it during P3?

I did them to break a stall or after a "binge day" to get back on track... yes I was taking the HCG. I was in PH2 and usually did them on a monday after a "bad" weekend

They're NOT normally done in P2...some people use it to break a stall... It is considered ROGUE. Some do well using them...others it can backfire.

Feeling good!!!!!

Martiangirl, so, did you lose over 60 pounds with HCG? Or did you lose that some other way? No matter, that is amazing.

Desma, how are you doing? Feeling good? I do recommend measuring (I only do it once a week).

I have lost 60 lbs but most of it was Atkins and about 30 lbs HCG. unfortunately, I learned first hand why you don't play around after P2, and do P3 right. I gained almost all of the weight back and it has taken a long a grueling 3rd round to lose it again. I still want to lose another 60 pounds, so we will see how far the HCG can take it. If the success of others can be believed and subsequent rounds can be as smooth as my current round, it will be feasible. I guess I need to update my stats...

Tommyswife · 06-27-2012, 05:52 PM

Looking good Desma. How much have you lost so far?

Thank you!!!!! I was feeling so good I decided to take a pic while at school.

I've only lost 14 lbs. as of 18 June. I feel like I lost more, but I only weigh/measure myself every Monday and that dreadful TOM

was here on the 25th so I'll be weighing/measuring myself this Friday. I have a good feeling I'm close to my second mini goal. I'm going all the way to the 13th of July so hopefully I'll make my overall goal of 25 lbs. by then.

C'Marie · 06-28-2012, 06:43 AM

HAWT!!!!!!

Nice pic, sweetie! Hope you're feeling as good as you're looking!

Thanks C'Marie! I was feeling real good until I got on the scale this morning. I'm up 2.2 lbs since TOM came to town. Plus he/she is trying to hang around longer than normal! So sad right now. I was hoping to make my 25 lb goal for my first round. I started 30 May and was going until 14 July. And my total is only 11.8. I've been good for the past three days, so.........who knows. I'm going to stay on track until the 14th and hopefully I'll come down at least 10 lbs

Plus, I still haven't lost any inches.

C'Marie · 06-28-2012, 11:33 AM

I predict a *whoosh* in your future of either pounds or inches or both. It simply can't continue that way. Things are adjusting somewhere you can't see.

DRM · 06-30-2012, 07:07 PM

Desma, it will happen! Keep your chin up.

I'm slowing down too..however, I can blame it on poop. Due to all the meds I've had to take I'm backed up. Soon, something has GOT to move!

I know it's not recommended on protocol, but if I get backed up for a while, I take one extra-strength exlax and I'm all better.

Hey DRM! How are you feeling? Did you do a steak day Friday? I'm doing one tonight.

DRM · 07-01-2012, 05:45 PM

I did not. I think I will try it tomorrow...

Let me know how the steak day works for you...

Poop doesn't seem to occur while i'm on this HCG so I take a warm water enema once a week. I tried the magnesium, nothing, i try stool softeners, nothing. I've had GI issues prior to this so I'm not blaming my missing movements on HCG but the warm water enemas at least keep me comfortable. Last one removed 1.5 POUNDS of poo!!!!

bestshorty · 07-02-2012, 01:19 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site as well as HCG. I found out about the drops and decided to purchase them.
Today is my 3rd loading day and I decided to do 3 days instead of 2 because I went on a road trip the first day and managed to eat a chili hotdog from Nathans the entire day

..... I know that sucks.
But I'm excited to go home and start preparing my meals for the rest of week since tomorrw I would offically be starting my 1st VLCD. My GOAL weight is 145-150

My Stats
1st day of loading I was at 173.2

I would put my stats up after my initial loading days since I have no clue what it is.

I'm worried I really hope I can do this.
Wish me luck and I look forward to all the support from everyone in this forum

DRM · 07-02-2012, 05:45 PM

Well, I just drank an entire capful of miralax. Let's hope that gets the ball rolling. Seriously, it has to come out!

Desma, how did the steak day go?

Welcome BestShorty! We are all here for support. Weight loss isn't easy....but, we didn't gain it all over night, did we? Good luck! Come back and tell us how it all is going!

My new "friend" since I can't call him a boyfriend yet, went out of town kind of abruptly. And I had a flash back to a former "friend" who did disappearing acts like that before.......so I didn't do the steak day. I'm trying to go with the flow but, these life things keep popping up which is shaking my confidence and making it hard to stay on the right food path.

I did the steak day today so I'll report back tomorrow! Thanks for asking!!!!

Thank you for checking on me C'Maire!

I've been having trouble since TOM. My weight went up 2.6 and wouldn't budge, so today I did a steak day, so hopefully tomorrow will be the kick start I need to get it moving downward.

I'm hoping my next round will be better than my first. I plan on starting that on 6 August. This round I'll finish on the 13th, so 10days to go!

OOOOH I totally get you. The "sudden" trip out of town. Had that happen before.

If he really is a good guy, he'll be back and you would be kicking yourself for breaking your protocol since there was no reason to. And if he's a bad guy, well NO guy is EVER worth gaining weight over. The best revenge, quite frankly, is being hot.

C'Marie · 07-02-2012, 08:43 PM

I like your thinking, Manders! ..... being hot is way better

Thank you Manders!

As old as I am I ought to know better. We communicated through out the weekend and will see each other tomorrow. He understands my HCG quest and doesn't try to get me to eat anything I don't want to. It's a very new "friendship" and I might be reading too much into it.

He'll be going TDY for a month...........and I will be hot when he comes back! For sure!
