YAY!!!! Love to have a little support group! I am loading today/tomorrow, not sure how long a round but I have a specific weight in mind- so we'll see when I get there ;)

Kimberque 12-31-2012 12:08 PM

I am loading today and tomorrow. This will be my third round. I was a lurker for my first two rounds. I'm looking forward to being more vocal (and accountable) this time.

I finished loading yesterday...I'm in!

FatFatnomore 01-01-2013 06:16 AM

I'm not loading until January 7th, but I'll join you guys here since I'll only be a week behind you! Plus, seeing you all lose this week will be a nice motivation for me when I start my VLCD! :D

Me, too, in regards to lurking the first two rounds. I am on R3P2 VLCD 6. Good Luck!

Kimberque 01-01-2013 08:10 AM

My first two rounds went well. Two years ago, I started with Atkins and followed with two rounds. I lost a total of 52 pounds. I went from a tight size 16 to an 8. I am starting this round three pounds out of my window. While the scale has been fairly friendly, the measurement tape not so much. I am using Intermountain hHCG drops. I am planning a 21 day round, but would love to break into the 120s.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. This is the only diet that works for me, but it is difficult. I hope I can encourage you as much as everyone has encouraged me.

Great Job!! :clap: :clap:

I am using the same drops as you this round, but threw a bottle of their pellets in my purse in case I am not at home when I need to be. I got on the scale this morning and nearly fainted :sick: Can't wait to see the weight move downward!!!

Happy New Year everyone! :heart:

Great results Kimber! I hope I can get down to an 8 this year too! Actually a 6 is my ultimate goal. Fingers crossed.

Happy New Year everyone!!!! hugs!!

Day two of loading... ready to start losing!! yipeee!!

dooy 01-01-2013 12:01 PM

Hi there! Happy New Year!

I've off LCF for a reeeeally long time but would love to join your thread, if you'll have me? I've been reading all the threads and while I'm still a little overwhelmed, I think we have enough info to get started. My DH and I plan to do this together and have ordered the drops which should be here Thursday. We're ready with our scale and some menus and are looking forward to starting this year off right!

Makeminecabernet 01-01-2013 01:28 PM

I'm in too. I am going to miss the wine though...

suzi7 01-01-2013 02:37 PM

glad to join you all if you'll have me. loading yesterday and today. (like I seriously need loading... :hyst:) starting tomorrow.

technically my 4th (or is it my third?), all last year. First was very successful. Second was a dud (just didn't lose weight more than 5 pounds the whole month. grrr.) Third was a total failure. (fell off the wagon totally a week into it; life happens sometimes.) (so do I count it or no? I don't think a week makes any kind of round.:stars:) and since then (October), I've managed to regain most of my losses. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!

But this round... this time ... this one will work. I know it!

Looking forward to chatting with you all and hearing lots of glad tidings!

1st VLC day almost done. Struggling but I'm determined. This is round I don't know for me. I was doing well maintaining and then in Dec I had a TOM after 8 months of no TOM and hormones went wild and I put 15 pounds back on! Darn it!

How's everyone doing?

I've had a pretty good day. Herbal tea has been my life saver this past week. This is my first round and I've been reading a lot of posts about the maintenance phase and I'm starting to worry a little (I'm a worrier) about being able to maintain :dunno: I'm sorry to hear about the 15 #. Good luck on this round!

Hello everyone!

I am back to lcf. I haven't posted in about a year or so. I regained some of my weight, so I have planned out my 2013 to include all the rounds needed to get to goal. I figured I had better start posting again to increase my accountability.

I have had a delay in getting my hcg, but will probably start loading on Jan 4th. I hope that is not too late to join in on this thread. :)

(btw, I do injections and my stats on the left are not accurate at the moment.)

buttah 01-01-2013 07:05 PM

I've been on this (my second and hopefully final) round since Dec 15/16 loading (so glad to have been in P2 over the holidays, it may shock you to know). Happy some others are jumping on. It's been really scarce! :)

livnonahill 01-02-2013 04:37 AM

VLCD 7 I'm down 0.5#. It's a loss, so ill take it. :D

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!! Happy losing!

Carole

bflogurl 01-02-2013 05:27 AM

Vlcd 1 here.... I'm already going mental and it only 8:25am lol!! Just took drops and will start chugging the water in a half hour. I am worried about maintaining too- I think the key is staying on top of it and not NOT weighing in one day because of a bad day before... That just sets up excuse and failure. I've gotta make this work....

I went mental yesterday, lol! Today I am better.

And yes, the key for me is staying on it.

I dropped a whole pound, not my best start to a round, but the not being hungry part did kick in so that is good!

This whole perimenopause thing is making me a little nuts:cry: I need to check in with my doc. He wanted to check the hormones and I think it is time to see what is happening there!

Good luck to us all today and may the force be with us! ;)

sherrymyra 01-02-2013 09:45 AM

Day 2 of loading for me. I can't wait for tomorrow.

Shelle135 01-02-2013 10:53 AM

This is Day 2 of loading for me too. I have to say that I am not enjoying it. Funny how the very thing that keeps you from success doesn't look so good when you are allowed it!
So looking forward to tomorrow's VLCD!

mekcoco 01-02-2013 10:53 AM

I started loading on the 30th of Dec. I am in my 3rd day of VLCD. So far so good. Wishing everyone good luck!!!
