HCG at Gilded Lily's Pad

[lorettahd]

Hey Brenda how's it going lady?

[Gilded Lily]

Hello TOM. No loss today.

hhcg R3VLCD25 -11.4

[shari]

UGH...TOM. Hope it doesn't get too bad for you. No loss is better than a gain.

[Deb294evr]

you are one strong lady!!!! I am so glad I don't have to deal with that monthly flucuation in hormones, fluid retentioin, blah blah... trust me once you are done with that, it becomes somewhat easier to lose... SOMEWHAT!..

[shari]

Brenda I just noticed you stats and you've lost close to 60lbs!!! AMAZING!! And you only have less than 20lbs to reach goal. That's wonderful! That may explain why your losses are less than what you want too..it's harder to lose those last few pounds. KUTGW!

Looks like TOM left my house and knocked at yours lol

Whew, well that part should be a blessing anyway.

Thanks, Shari. My body surely hasn't been cooperating lately. I think I've lost 1.6 in the last 7 days! Oh well, I'm not giving up. This weight has got to give up the ghost eventually!

Hey girlie. It's been a long day and I'm happy to be going to bed soon!

Yes, and he has brought an intense craving for chocolate layer cake. Why are the tom cravings so intense on hcg? Is it because we know we can't have anything? This too shall pass!!!

[lorettahd]

Hey Brenda, hope everything is well

[shari]

Good morning Brenda, sorry TOM is being a bear right now. I feel you on battling the cravings. Stay strong!

[Gilded Lily]

Good morning all!

I actually lost a pound this morning! Shocking! My average loss is up to .47 now. If I can get it up to .5 I will be so, so happy!

Who-Hoo!! Congrats Brenda!!

[lorettahd]

Good job Brenda

[tempted_by_food]

WOOOOOOOT on the 1lb

[tempted_by_food]

happy sunday!!!

[Gilded Lily]

Happy Sunday, Sans! It surely has been a busy one for me! Just now getting in and settling down for the evening. Whew.

Another day of no loss. I grudgingly gave up the cabbage today. My average daily loss is .45 now.

[shari]

Good morning Brenda, I feel you on the cabbage..I can't eat it too. You're doing very good...don't feel discouraged. I realized the other day that we are close to goal so now the pounds aren't going to come off as well as before...but it will come off! Have you decided how much longer you're going to stay in P2?

[lorettahd]

Good Morning Brenda, don't be discouraged, keep plugging away at it. Remember if you're not losing the pounds, the inches are still coming off. KUTGW

[Gilded Lily]

Good morning guys.

I am up .2 today. My average daily loss is .43. If it hits .3 I will not be amused. Is it possible that hcg can just stop working for a person?

I gave up the cabbage yesterday and had a gain so I'm not sure now if that was the problem.

I was going to stay in p2 until I lost the rest of this weight. That was before I realized it would take until Thanksgiving to get the rest of it off. I don't know now. I am going to have to reevaluate. Gosh, I feel like such a whiner. That is SO NOT ME!

I am way too lazy to measure so I hope you're right, Lo!

Sorry Brenda..how frustrating! I'm not sure about hhcg not working any more but I do know the body is stubborn releasing those pounds at times, especially at set points. It is hard now to decide what to do..so close to goal yet it's taking longer to reach. I'm on the fence too so I know what you mean. Plus, you're not a whiner..this is YOUR journal so say, do, express yourself ANYWAY you want!!

Morning Brenda!! hope today is better!

[shari]

good morning Brenda

[tempted_by_food]

I hope the scale is alot good to you today!!!

[lorettahd]

Morning Brenda, how's it going today?

[Gilded Lily]

Thank you guys so much for the kind words.

I started to post yesterday, got distracted and then proceeded to run around like a madwoman for the rest of the day. Just crazy busy!

I lost .6 yesterday and .2 this morning. Slowly, slowly. My average daily loss is at .44.

I need to change something, but I'm not sure what. I've used the same drops for each round. I eat the same boring foods. I've never had one single cheat in all 3 rounds. I give up soft drinks for p2 and drink water and coffee only. Maybe it's just the way my body loses at this point in the program.

The exact same thing is happening to my nephew. His average daily loss is at .5 a day , down from over a pound a day in previous rounds. At least I'm not alone in my misery. He tried a high calorie day yesterday to see if it would speed up his losses. He's braver than I am!

It may be slow Brenda but at least you're chipping away at the weight. KUTGW you know every round is different. Kudos to you for not cheating on any of your rounds.

O MY GOODNESS!! This is amazing!! That alone is due credit girl!! I agree with Lo, at least there is loss and it is coming off. You're so close to goal...wtg!

[tempted_by_food]

No cheats woah your a hell of a strong woman I was going to suggest a high cal meal, it might get things chugging along again faster, let us know how it works for your nephew.

[shari]

Good morning Brenda! The ladies and I are taking a very mini-interruption to eat P3 this weekend (actually Lo and I are including Friday) then it's back to P2 on Monday. Wanna join? The fat may be what's needed to jump-start the loss again. I know you said that you hate to get back into the P2 mental mode again so don't want to interrupt your mental state...and we know it's mostly mental in P2.
