Plus your the bomb cause although you have moved on you are still posting on our other thread helping me and keeping me motivated so I want to try and do the same for you.

@ kwg: Nice loss in phase2. You picked a great thread. I know from experience that parafluie is a great support. I believe that if we all stick together we can keep all the weight off we loss.We all worked so hard at it.

@ everyone else. Congrats on the losses. Together we will make sure that we have successful phase 3's so that all the hard work we did was not for nothing.

OMG, Beatty, I just saw this! We'll be here waiting for you and will be ready with all the answers (hahah!)

Yes, Beatty, together we have strength! So glad to see you!

Southern, I know what you mean. I extended beyond helpful. The last two weeks I went up and down and ultimately lost only ONE POUND. In the two days since my last injection, I've released TWO pounds. Go figure. I coulda done this two weeks ago! Oh well.

I'll wait to see how I stabilize. All bets are off. In the past few years, if I went below 126, I looked sunken and ugly. I don't want to do that again. Therefore, I might give myself another round and, if my face is okay, go even lower to my previous 115-118 weight. I have all the injection supplies, but who knows!! Mid-April could be a good time to do that!

How are you doing today? How are you feeling? What do you have planned for breakfast tomorrow? Be sure to check out Surby's list for Leptin!

I did 49 days (i shouldn't have extended, i stalled for most of day 40-49). but i lost an average of .5 lbs a day

will you do another round or lose the last 6 lbs on your own?

First day of VLCD no drops: i messed up and only ate breakfast. I studied all day and before i knew it it was 10 pm

@surby66: That is a good summary for the Leptin Rest. I glanced at it and it seemed so complicated with alot of rules. So I am glad you were able to sum it up easy for me.I might actually do it know that I understand it a little more. Well once I get to phase 3 which is soon.I am on my last stretch of phase2.

I can't offer any experience to anyone oh her yet cause Im not there yet and this is my first round also but I will offer everyone support. I do a lot of reading on all the forums and throughout the net since I am a stay at home mom with lot's of time on my hands and will gladly give tips for what I read to help everyone out including myself once I actually start phase 3.

Good luck everyone keep up the great work.

Good morning everyone. last day of VLCD for me! woohoooo. I never want to see a piece of melba again (never ate it before hcg)

para,
there's a thread somewhere around here called a structured p3. i'm going to follow that and add a new type of food every 3 days, so I can distinguish which foods affect me.
Tomorrow, I'm only going to double my lean protein/veggies/calories
then on day 3, I'll add fat like tuna and salmon back
then on day 6, i'll give eggs a try
and so on and so forth until day 21

(so my first BAB will probably just be 8 ozs of chicken, green veggies, and coffee with cream)

memphis, LR has been good to a lot of people who had trouble stabilizing. if you'd like more info, scroll to the bottom of the forum and check out the leptin subforum


is anyone else NOT freaking about p3?
maybe i shouldn't speak so soon

I am excited to come along and see how you all do on P3. I have 19 days to go - and I am considering LR.- I hope I can do it. What do you all plan to do with exercise? I seem some recommend it and others don't - in P3. I am inspired by your success!

Parafluie - how awesome that you continued to lose! So hope I can do that too! I am not in danger of being too thin - I hope to not have to do another round - but must admit if I stabilize and manage - I may be tempted to get back to my "pre-marriage" weight of 135....hahaha - but then I will pinch myself and try to wake myself from the dream!

Good luck to you all - and congrats for your dedication to getting to this round.

and thanks for the summary - it sure looks alot easier like that!

thanks for the welcome parafluie! I wish you the best of luck - I am going to go the full 40 days - and I hope I enjoy the same success you have! I will look forward to hearing all the details of P3!!

good luck!
