NO - the only thing I measure is my thigh! It's the last to go, so what the heck. I am blessed with muscular arms (eat your heart out, Michelle O) that don't really ever get out of shape. Thigh is over 2" less, but I can't see/feel it anymore...I HATE the phycho bs!

SO - would you: a) do a round with Riley and Rox who you NEED but which would have you starting P3 possibly within a week of vacation, or b) do your P2 after the vacation. I'm thinking (a) because I need my girls and because I will essentially load the entire vacation if I have no structure in place. If I do it with R & R I'll just be like a day or two short of 3 full wks of P4 after 3 full wks of P3. I want to do the graceful P2 exit demonstrated by Dubbles and Honey.

I was feeling like I am the exact same size (mainly legs, as this all hit as I was in running shorts) as when I started, which at 22 lbs more is physically impossible, right? Anyway, just feeling really tree-trunky and my DD says mom, you're legs look SO skinny. So, clearly there IS a difference, but why the freaking distortion? Seriously, today, I feel NO difference.

First, HUH? You lost me on the A B thing! We want you to do it with us, but we want you to be sucessful! So if you want to wait until after your vacation I will pretend I am still on p2 when you start. When is your vacation? I am not starting until April 23rd..

Post a pic of your legs, we will let you know how skinny they are!

I have a spreadhseet with my daily weights and measurements for neck, bust, chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs, and calves. OCD much, ya think?

Well, my dear, this is my P3D10 so P3 would end 4/11. Do you think I'm so FUBAR'd that it really doesn't matter if I hop back into P2 early? Remember that I did 40 days of pure P2 ending 2/4, then was some sort of rogue bingemeister alternating with P2, still on the drops the whole time, for 46 days, then started an actual P3 (3/22), even after eating STARCH and SUGAR on my LDW day (3/20). SOOOOO - does it even matter if I follow any kind of psuedo-protocol at this point or shall I just try to maintain/correct/whatever in April and start P2 again with you guys? Does that make any sense?

I haven't booked the vacation but the kids get out 5/26 and we wanted to go pretty much right away, but that's memorial weekend - this is a postponment from Spring Break, so a little more disappointment for them probably wouldn't be earth-shattering...sharing the thighs would take a LOT for me the way I'm feeling right now!

Are you kidding me? 2T IS my normal portion, and I HAVE doubled that to 4T. BUT since getting on the manna it's not as appealing and I haven't really been eating it. One of my apesh!t P2 days in Feb I had 9T. I'm really gross. I did have some today...because I had finished a manna jar and vow to not open another for a WHILE.

...yeah, so we've determined I'm having an egg attack - the "hives" kept getting worse all day, like unfortunate teenaged boy stuff so I have just taken a scrubby shower and applied Bye Bye Blemish to pretty much all but my forehead. I am definitely on a correction tomorrow - most likely of the ribeye sort because it's already been acquired. Why? Well, I handled the egg reaction like any sane, mature adult would - I added almonds, to which we already know I am most likely reactive - lost count, but it was a LOT, then proceeded to eat 'fun' P3 stuff - like how about feta cheese mixed with sf blackberry jam...anyone? UGH.

I'm really wondering if at least part of my reaction is emotional, like chuck the rational thoughts since the day is imperfect, anyway AND triggered by the food sensitivity. How could it really be completely separate? Eating well puts me in a great mood, so why not the other way around? Also, I feel SO PMSssy. I am pissed because it's so freaking windy here and I HATE wind, like the air is slapping you around - SO brutal!

Claire, You are a total nut, but I've been there. That was my life before hcg. Everytime I ate out of control, I'd just keep it up until the "next Monday, a new week". Ya know, since I blew it already....Definitely sounds like me. And you REALLY ate 9 T of crack? I can't believe it, you're so little. I just can't picture you being able to put away all that food. But that was probably all you ate the whole day. Anyway, hope your hives clear up somewhat by tomorrow. No eggs for u, I guess. Would lasering help?

From your keystrokes to my scales. Fingers crossed!

I figure for me going 30 days I will end p2 a week before memorial day. If you don't mind going on vacation in p3 I'd say keep on roguing, since you are good at it and join us!
