[tempted_by_food]

You look great in the pictures, the hooter girl omg that is gross and so darn funny

[wishbone]

dang it !!! Up .6 this morning. I really was hoping to be in the 160's this morning. Oh well.....life goes on.

[shipoo]

I love your Halloween costume Jan!

Cheryl

169.4!!!!!!

oops....I hope it's still there tomorrow!!!!

[shipoo]

That is amazing Jan! You are doing so well on this. Quick couple of questions...did you follow Simeon's to the tee? Also how long did you do your phase 2?

I am considering trying the HCG however, now that it is getting close to Christmas etc. and I have a baby shower planned in two weeks I am trying to determine if it is feasible to do after that even though I would have a couple of Christmas lunches in there.

I love watching your progress!

In April, I weighed in at 243. I started My 1st round then, April 7, and loaded for 2.5 days. I did 38 days after that, for the 1st round. Lost 33 pounds.
R1P3 lasted 27 days. I stabilized at 210 pounds.
I skipped the P4 round this 1st time and went right back to 2 days of loading, I was so excited about LOSING!!!
So...R2P2...after 2 days of loading I was back up to 217.5. (I can LOAD really well!!!!) Then I did a REALLY LONG round. I went for 59 more days of VLC. I ended that round at 179.8.
R2P3 went VERY WELL. I ended at that exact weight after exactly 21 days.
R2P4....this time I did the phase 4 , as the plan calls for. started at 178.8 and ended at 180.4. Within my 2 pound window. This round I did for 42 days.
R3P2...I loaded my way up to 193.6!!!!! And it all came back off within 2 days od VLC. Today was day 26...and I weighed in this morning at 167.8.
I am absolutely THRILLED with this diet!!!!
I want to get back to 158-160....so, not far to go.

The 1st 2 rounds, I did ABSOLUTELY by the book. Except for not doing the P4 the 1st time.

This round has been by the book so far. But....this weekend we are going to Sioux Falls Friday night for a birthday party. Dh and I are goung to Ruby Tuesday befor we go to the bar though. And I am going to eat what I alsays eat when we go there. BUT.....I am still going to do the drops all the way through it. Just going to consider it going off plan for a 1/2 day. I want this to be my last round. So, I will just wait and see what happens after this weekend.
There are some really good threads in the HCG thread. There is the "stick to absolutely" thread and the "rebel" thread. BOTH ARE FANTASTIC!!! One is absolute structure and one is assolute tweeking. Whatever works for you.

Hope this works to answer any ???'S


JAN

[shipoo]

Thank you Jan! Have been reading the boards and am ordering my drops today!

Glad to see you are down again!

Cheryl

[wishbone]

WELL....I am still on the drops. I gained 3 pounds on my "little adventure". But that's ok. I know it will come right back off.

Today I think I am going to my first zumba class. Now....that oughta be a blast!!!!

[wishbone]

there is nothing like a zumba class to remind me that I am 52 years old. I used to have some rythmm....bout 30 - 40 years ago!!! Where the heck did it go to?!?!?!?! But it was FUN!!!!

[shipoo]

Everyone who does Zumba loves it! When I get down to within 10 pounds of my goal I plan to do it as well! Waiting for my drops......waiting......waiting........

Glad you had fun Jan!

Cheryl

[wishbone]

ooops!!! I've been slacking about posting!!!

I lost the 3 pounds that I gained....so, all is good. This mornings weight was 167.2 I had a 3 pound loss since yesterday, so, tomorrow will probly see a .2 gain. That seems to be the pattern. We shall see.

CHERYL!!!! Did you get your drops yet?????


JAN

[wishbone]

166.4 this morning...not quite a pound, but since I was expecting a gain... I'll take it !!!

Gotta get to work and get the roast in the pressure cooker......after the pot starts rockin it's pure TORTURE in the building....the aroma should be made into a candle....

[wishbone]

this morning the weight stayed the same. 166.4.Better thana gain.....


Not sure what today will bring...besides frying up a TONof fish...

The weather here is GREAT!!! I keep expecting it to turn nasty any day now.

well....gotta run...maybe I can come back and play this afternoon.

[wishbone]

I was very NAUGHTY yesterday. And this morning I weighed in at 170.2.
Today I will try to be GOOD :blush:

[wishbone]

ok....so I definately have this "good guy/bad guy" thing going on lately. One guy is on one shoulder....the other is on the other shoulder. eat this/no....eat/that....well. I guess it could be worse. they could be telling me to push the cat in the dryer. he's just a LITTLE curious when the dryer door is open...what can I say????
OK.....I will not do that. Now, if I could just get the snacking under control. Of course it does'nt help when I bake!!!
Made some low carb cookies yesterday. WAY GOOD!!! AND some low carb corn bread...WOW!!!! It's a little carbier than I'm comfortable with....so that's probly why it was SO GOOD!!!! That recipee came off of Maries site. I have tried a few of her things....pretty good.


JAN

[shipoo]

Hey Jan......still waiting for my drops.....it is driving me crazy. There is someone else on these boards who ordered from the same place and she is also in Canada. She is waiting too! Darn customs thing!

Anyway glad to see you still doing well albeit the good guy/bad guy thing!

Cheryl

[wishbone]

OK...let today be DAY #2 of BEHAVING....
I will not be NAUGHTY today...

[wishbone]

somewhere recently I have lost my willpower. If anyone finds it...please give it back...

[wishbone]

WOW....I just found out from a happy hour customer that my bartender who was a nocall/no show today at 10:00 am took a job DRIVING A CAB!!!!! Started today. WTH!!!! I DO NOT GET IT!!!!! Why in the world would you give up a social/fun job to do that????? I hope she gets stuck on the graveyard/bar run shifts.

[wishbone]

Let the day begin....so far, nothing has entered my mouth that should NOT have...

[wishbone]

2 consecutive days of being really CLEAN!!!!
Rewarded with a 4 pound loss this morning. that makes the scake sing a tune of 167.8

Now....tomorrow, I won't be expecting a loss....but staying the same would be SWEET!!!!

[shipoo]

WOOHOOHOOIE!!!!! Let the LOSSES begin!!! I am so excited for you!!!!! There are so many knowledgable people on the hcg thread....I'll help you with any questions you have...but there is a LOT I do not know about.
Like...say for example when it gets to TOM. I havn't seen TOM for a few years, so it did'nt really affect me. And if you are on any meds....someone else more than likely is also....

JAN

[tempted_by_food]

A 4lb loss

Shipo...best of luck with the drops, have fun loading!!!

[wishbone]

scale was at 166.2 this morning.

I wonder what exactly started the ball rolling again. I am officially 6.2 pounds away from "goal".
I'm not sure if I will re-evaluate then or not.

JAN

Yes let the losses start! I am like you Jan, no TOM issues for me for the last few years so I don't have to deal with that. No meds as well so hopefully nothing will affect the HCG. I have been reading the boards it seems like forever and I see everyone has great advice.

You must be so excited to be close to goal!

[wishbone]

real clean eating today. I'm so close to goal....I can taste it. AND with thanksgiving coming....I am really going to be SUPER carefull !!!

I did get a jump start on baking today for thanksgiving. AND everything went in the freezer.
Butter biscuits from Maries site. Corn bread from the same place. Blueberry muffins. I am going to make an additional stuffing out of the corn bread, bwsides the traditional sage one. I am going to use the butter biscuits for the vege pizza. dh will have pillsbury crescent rolls for his "crust" but I will do the butter biscuits. I baked them in my muffin top pan, so they re the PERFECT size for this.

Tomorrow, maybe I will make a few more dishes. I don't care if I have to pop them in the freezer. I have a VERY small kitchen....so prepping is a way for life for me a WORK and at HOME.

I have high hopes for the scale in the morning. I never weigh myself at night...hate to see that high number . But, tonight was not to bad a number at all
