I have to say that if I'd known about the flax seed and it's usefulness I'd have taken it in P2. Without question!It just runs through you. I'd absolutely do it!

First off this dose is really high! You're supposed to mix with 15cs of saline for this dose>>>>. And I take a .5ML dosage twice a day.




This time the HCG came in 10,000 USP units. I don't have enough space in the vial to mix 20ccs of saline. This would require 30cc of saline!



So I'm thinking I can put 10ccs of saline and my new dosage will be .25ML twice a day. This makes sense to me, but as I can't seem to sustain a stable thought these last few days, I want to run this by you ladies first. That makes sense right?
I would ask Margie this...I don't know if freshness is an issue. You are doing sublingual right--you haven't changed to injections. But your dose is very high. And you'll be mixing a large quantity, made larger by the correct mixing.

I just got some more bad news: My friend of 52 going on 53 years, who I grew up with just lost her mother today. She was with my brother, sister and I in our car for my Mom's wake and funeral as we just lived in each other's house our whole lives. When we burried Mom, she asked my mother to come and get her mother (who's been in a terrible state of decline with Alzheimer's and numerous complications). And her mom went today, the same time my mom went Saturday.

I'm getting a little shell shocked.

Fiesty Posts: jeesh wasa,

I'm covered in goosebumps! I'm sorry to hear about your friends mom.

I am finding myself in the same position as you frequently right now which I'm really pretty concerned about. Not hungry, not satisfied and scoping out the kitchen for something that actually looks good. Then putting something needlessly in my mouth. good choices so far... and I'm real happy right now with stabilization, but there could come the day when it all goes wrong. YIKES! So, I'm going to bulk up on my veggies again P2 style and twice a day. I am only eating 1 serving a day usually now.

Part of this could also still be lingering in the "stress" category. Anxiety and trying to find something to fix it. It may not be actually food related at all. But if that is a familiar coping mech from the past It's possible. Yes? No?

There's some truth to this Feisty. First off, I do eat a tone of salad fixins' and I love 'em but I just keep eating and eating. The banana seems to make me stop.

The second part of your response is VERRRRRY interesting to me. Eating out of part boredom, part don't know how to parcel my time, my time not being my own....YES, YES, YES and more... And the fact that I look forward to YOU GUYS DOING P2, is so I have a routine to check the water consumption and what I'm eating. Not food related--habit related. And looking for food to make it all better....

Also, I eat something and say to myself," why did I waste my time on that?" Food rut!

Thank you for the great introduction Amanda! I just noticed that you talked about hot guy claiming but not how hot WE ARE!

Hey we're hot and getting HOTTER! (Maybe we get some real guys to claim over here!)

I like your 5 points!

I just want to add that if you did "ef up" and we understand the nature of the consumption--we can help reverse it. So even if you ate a box of candy--just be honest so we can give you the BEST advice we can. I personally NEVER give advise on something I'VE NEVER TRIED. If I offer a suggestion on something I NEVER TRIED I will say so. I have guinea pigged a lot of stuff on myself. My sense of mothering is pretty direct. I want to get you'll through quickly and painlessly.

Ok now-- about the ~~loo~~. I talk about that frequently because a lot of us tend to weigh our waste and think it's a gain. Drinking and peeing is how you are expeling the fats your body is trying to release. If you aren't releasing the --other stuff, not only does it feel miserable but it increases your weight and paranoia! Just as TOM does. So feel free to discuss this part of your life. I am endlessly seeking solutions.


I toast you all with my first bottle of no sodium seltzer!

TIDBIT FACTOID!: I was told that the co2 charge in the seltzer is actually beneficial for carrying nutrients.

Hey Annette -

Flax seed during p2. How much? Going to see if they have it at SAMs. Omw there now...

OK, now I have the pertinent information. I want you to join us on our board aftert his post..mostly because i'm old and lazy and I'll always look there like 10 times a day. OK?

Now because I couldn't get to you immediately this is what you should do. (I'd advise you differently if this was the following day). I want you to eat the fish--providing that it isn't shell fish. What fish is it? Every 2 to 3 hours when you are hungry. If I don't like your fish I'm going to ask you to poach the chicken (which is chicken breast only, right?).

I don't care if you eat 10ozs of that today. But this is the important part. Eat it when you are hungry--and stop when you are full. If you have one bite left and you aren't hungry--don't eat it. I want you to chew your protein absolutely completely and then swallow. Consume with water.

I want you to consume at least 1/2 your body weight, in ozs of water to day. So if you weigh 200 lbs. I want you to drink 100 ozs of water today.
Okay thank you so much. It's tilapia.....can I still do this? (I had one cup of coffee, 1 tbsp milk, and 1 apple)

I dont even know if you'll read this lol.

Yes it's just chicken breast.

Thanks, I'm going to try........but because we all know tilapia isn't filling at all, should I aim for 500 calories, or less?

See what the bag says for constipation. I might start with 2 Tablespoons per day. If you chew some, you release the omega 3 fatty oils. But if you just swallow--it's poop bulk. It will absorb the water that YOU SO faithfully drink! I think it's an honest way to ease the other situation. I eat them every day on P4 and see no gains. It's fiber. I didn't do it on P2 --didn't know about them. But I'll tell you , this is a healthier way to go then laxatives. Laxative just dehydrate.

It absorbs 10 times it's weight.

HEY EVERYBODY!!!! This is ahead of the curve. She had a pretty bad cheat: dairy , starch and carbs...the day before yesterday. She needs to get 4 pounds back off.

You should eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. Since it's fish you could go as high as 8 ozs. Forget the calories for today. And if you feel like you're going to freak out and eat...eat more tilapia. One protein all day every few hours...... It's all about the metabolism...

Here's what we are trying to do for you...(and this is different than if I ever suggest the beef.) We are trying to stoke up your metabolism. We want it to move faster. That's why I want you to eat more often. I want you to stop eating before bedtime last meal at 7pm.

You can ask my friend Amanda, and other s here. That as time goes on..it'll make more sense to you. It's just a lot to hit you with at once. So, One fire at a time ! So to speak!

If you drink any coffee or tea, that has caffine : it is NOT counted as water. If you drink it, I want you to then take that cup and fill it 2x's with water and drink that. Caffine dehydrates--you'll be working against yourself.


I check back often.

Yeup - wAsa is righta! It takes time to understand it all bit she is an evil genius!!!

Got my flax. Shall drink with lotsa water starting today. Yay to constant diligence against constipation!!!
