I too am loading 12/30 & 12/31. R3 for me too! Hoping for 20-25 lbs this time. I joined the January 1 group but it is huge so I am happy to find something smaller.
Day one of loading... I ate some scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, an english muffin with peanut butter...yummm and some coffee with real creamerfor breakfast!
Happy New Years Eve all![]()

Welcome pickleI saw that other group and it already had over a thousand views so I decided to start my own lol... Happy to have you here with us.
I hear ya! I think the support might be a little more personal in a smaller group, and having good connections on this forum was the only thing that kept me going at times on R1
Last day of loading! I got on the scale Friday and I have gained 10lbs in 3 weeks!! Who does that!? I am so disgusted with myself. I'm afraid of what my "loading days" are going to add on to that. I might need this round just to get back to where I was at the beginning of December. ughhh.
Anyway- Happy new year!

Andrialyn: I know how you feel. I did great maintaining until Christmas and I gained 4 lbs and 2 more yesterday on day one of loading..lol...We can only hope it comes off as fast as it came on over the holidays.
One more day of loading and then on to LOSING![]()
Christmas was bad for me too. I ha maintained 2lbs over my ldw for 3 months and then over Christmas gained almost ten lbs.... all around my middle too!
Today is day 1 of VLCD and I am so happy to not even have the choice of what junk I'm going to eat today.
I am thrilled to find this group. I am loading today/tomorrow for R3. Lost 50 in the first 2, 40 day rounds. I will update my ticker after my 2 load days. I am about 4 pounds over my lowest weight. My last VLCD was right before Halloween and I maintained until right before Christmas! I may do a short round this time as I plan to travel the last week of January. After loading I am looking to shed 20. :-)
Hello everyone!
There is only one race - the human race. And in my opinion, all people were created equally & should be treated as such.
