DISASTER--AND BACK

I went to a birthday party Sat night and ate a hamburger and some carrots that was all additional to my plan.

Gained one lb

Then Sunday went to another birthday party and had lots of steak, rice, salad, and cake!! I even had a soda. Ugg

Gained two lbs

So, it sucks cuz wasted time. Now, I've lost those lbs and one extra one, but that is definitely not the way to go. I don't know why I've had such a hard time getting into it this time. I really attribute it, I guess to not coming right off Pha… Continue

Kinda "down"; no loss

I didn't lose anything after VLCD 7 of R2P2 but I've just had this general feeling of 'down' the whole time, very unlike the first round. I don't get it but I'm trying not to dwell on it to much.

On the up side, I've been going around the house closets finding old clothes that didn't use to fit and have worn two new outfits this week. I wish I had done this sooner as next week, these won't fit anymore!

Such a great part of this program!

AFTER FIRST WEEK OF ROUND TWO PHASE TWO

Last Monday I started loading so this is my one week marker.

I skipped Saturday because I'm doing the 6 weeks and then last night I forgot to do my shot!!! Luckily, my wonderful husband returned from work this morning to give me my hcg and B shot. Better late than never.

So tonight I'll continue as normal.

I only lost .4 yesterday because I had some extra protein last night at a barbecue. It's amazing how one can taste 'fat' after not eating fat for a few days!

So down to 157.2, but worried… Continue

Update on Round Two of Phase Two

I'm down to 157.6 which is finally lower than the lowest I got during Phase 3, where I was still losing weight. I kinda panicked and ate like a pig. But where I really lost it was when I got a bag of one of my favorite candies from El Salvador. Then, that was the official start of Phase 4 and with my parents visiting, I started eating out a lot. So I still stayed around LIW this way but I didn't feel all healthy anymore.

So now, I'm feeling a bit tired but actually better than eating all that j… Continue

I'M BACK FOR ROUND TWO!!!

Phase Four was crazy. I really ate like a maniac and not very healthy. I cannot get myself too excited about Round Two for some reason. I think it would've helped not to eat so much crappola on Phase 4. Now, I'll have to 'withdraw'. Oh, why didn't I listed to KT?

On the good side. I didn't gain ANY weight and started to load below LIW. I did 4 weeks of Phase 3 and 4-5 of phase 4, but really, nothing, just taking a break.

Today is VLCD 1 and I'm starting at 165lbs. Last time gained two lbs on l… Continue

Hi E,
Well, how did you end up? I am still on the road, stopped weighing myself about 1 week out. I am afraid I will have to do a little corrective dieting when I get home. I have done my best to follow p3, but when eating out for every meal with a bunch of truck drivers, even the best choices on the menu aren't good enough. Since we were in the south, BBQ was often the restaurant of choice, I went with the meats with the least amount of sauce, but still know they had way to much sugar. And the pre-made, overly processed choices at many truck stops were hard to keep the starch out of my diet. By far the worst was the chinese buffet night. I did a steak day the next day just because I knew everything I ate had sugar, flour and msg in it!! Oh, well, I am starting my training for the 50 miles walk for MS and the 1/2 marathon when I get home, this will also put my eating habits back to healthy and organic so what I messed up over the road hopefully I can correct. My plan is get back to LIW and then to follow P3 when I get home until my weight has been stable for 2 weeks then move on to P4. Hope that works for the long term of maintaining my weight. I still have a little flab to loose on the backs of my thighs and just above my butt, so have been considering another 23 day round after my 1/2 marathon in Oct if I still feel the same. I may order some hgc just to have should that be the case.

Well, drop me a line and update me on your final P2 results and how P3 is going for you so far.

Thanks for checking in. Congratulations on starting P3! I've lost 16 lbs in 30 days. I plan on doing the shots until my 10,000 iu is gone. I mixed for 40 doses of 250, but started lowering the dose to 200 here and there, ao I'll have extra and can go longer. Also I skip some days to try to prevent immunity. I've heard of people staying on as long as 75 days! I hope to lose at least another 5. Look forward to hearing about how it goes for you in P3.

I am the one with the glasses on. That is my before picture and I need to update and post a new picture. You are so welcome. It is always great to look at everybody's outcome from doing the protocol. I think it is the greatest thing for people like us who have struggled for so long to loose weight.

hi E
sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I am on the road with my husband in the semi. I did not get TOM when I was supposed to so stopped injections as originally planned. Second day without injection TOM arrived so stayed skipped injections for 2 more days (four days total) then 3 more injections (which got me 1/2 pound under my goal!!!!) and 72 hours of vlcd. Started p3 yesterday. I am very happy all my clothes from when I was running 5 miles a day for! We will be gone for about two weeks so will have to wait until I get home to get really serious about getting back in shape. I am training for a 50 mile MS walk in Sept. And then a 1/2 marathon in Oct.

Congrats on your loss. That is awesome. Let me know what you decide on the shots. For me I am glad I did the extra time. Dr S. Says you need to have at least 3 days of shots following TOM and since I was at goal I didn't want to take any chances of not resetting my hypothalamus and not being able to maintain! Well I am doing this from my I phone and we are moving again so it makes it really tough to type on this small keyboard. Send me a note and give me all your numbers.
Take care
Amy

Hi Esmerelda,
Congratulations on your 20! That's awesome. I bet your feeling great, especially with others taking notice. As for me, today is my scheduled LI day, and still TOM has not arrived (should have been here beginning of last week). days and if still no TOM by the end of 72 hours I will continue to P3 as planned. If TOM arrives in next 72 hours I will add 3 more injections after it ends and then 72 hours before P3. I am sure hoping for the first,
since I have not lost anything all week, despite the horrible diarrhea, along with much stronger hunger and lower energy. I lost a total of 1 inch this week, was hoping that number would have been bigger to help me get through if I need to go longer. I am sooo ready to be done, but will tough it out if TOM decides it can't wait! Oh well, one day at a time.

Are you planning on ending at 40 or continuing on longer? Keep me posted on your great results, glad to see from your blog that your husband can see the changes. Mine was gone for 2.5 weeks, so he noticed right away that I lost 10 lbs. The best part this time is that since he dieted with me on R1, he is much more understanding and accommodating of my restrictions and need to not eat out. Take care!
