Yup, been losing less than .3 lbs over the last few days each day. This time around I expected it because it happened to me last time around the same time (2nd week of VLCD). I still have struggled with that doubt of maybe I won't lose anymore this time, but I keep reminding myself of the amazing things that happened because I didn't give up and pushed through the last time. So for all of those who are for the first time in P2 or for those who are doing it again and maybe need a little encouragement
Thanks again to everyone for all of the wonderful advice and encouragement! I am finally very close to my lowest weight from round 1 (only 2.5 lbs. to go!) This week was by far my most successful week in R2P2 - and I fee like I have settled into my old rhythm. Not to say that cravings, etc. don't still come up! The fact that I had my TOM in the last week made it a little more challenging, but still had my best weight loss this week. I am soooo looking forward to breaking through that last plateau
I am finding it hard (harder than I did the first round it seems!) to stop wanting to eat later at night. Once I get past dinner (and the 500 cal limit), I have still been wanting to eat and have failed miserably at not eating that little extra. What do you do to stave off these awful cravings?
So I am starting what my Dr. considers the second round. I am doing sort of a modified version of this diet with her and saw great success in 2011! I lost 70 lbs and did really well during maintenance and then the holidays hit. I was so careful up to that point with staying within my 2 lb. range. I stayed largely away from sugars and fried foods and even alcohol! Then I sort of lost my focus, didn't weigh myself every day, and over the time with my family didn't even think about what I was
After my meltdown last night, I woke up feeling better and feeling like I have won a hard-fought battle. I didn't cheat! Now I know if it's later at night, I have the option of just going to bed and getting some sleep - that seemed to help! My prayers were answered - I lost 1 lb. from yesterday, and am .6 lbs less than the other day - obliterating that little blip of a weight gain! It's amazing how upset one can get over these things! I am kinda embarassed over my little temper tantrum last
