Hey my friend, thanks so much for your kind words (((hugs))) Today was my last drop day. I finished at noon. Lost 2oz shy of 15 lbs! That's pretty solid for 3 wks. Oooooooo Lucky you with the cocoa crack! I didn't chance it this round since my losses stopped in r1 p2 when I had it. Didn't even bother in p3. Looking into testing primal in p3 and will see if CO and co flour are ok for me. Yes, I agree about tastes for foods changing. I had collected all kinds of recipes to try but stuck w plain grilled foods in p 3. Go figure! Staying on plan during 3 wks of vacation is unbelievable! And losing? Don't think I cld be THAT good! Good luck on this long round...I think I am digging the short rounds for a while. Hoping it will keep the hair loss tolerable. I've developed all sorts of hair styles to keep things looking presentable - hehehe! But definitely a long one at the end! Keep me posted on your progress!
Hi, Julie!! I am so proud of you! Look at you go! How wonderful that you are tying up Round 2 so well. I, too, have noticed more hair loss... but I do have thick hair and have always shed like mad. I am on a 40 day and, unlike my first round, am eating coco-crack on P2 with no apparent issues. I have noticed that my appetite has really changed as a result of my first round. What about you? I was on holiday for 3 weeks, and stayed on course, losing more weight (yay!). Happy to be on another round, though it does feel different than round 1. Nonetheless, I am stoked to get to the promised land, so to speak. I'll probably do a total of 4 rounds to get to my desired weight. I already have all the dates planned out in my calendar.
Good morning! I tried to send this to you and for some reason, it showed up in my in box instead of my out box...just noticed it! Sorry for the delayed response. ...j Hey Sweetie, good to hear from you. I am R2P2W3D7. I will go a couple more days to finifh this bottle of drops. I also would like to get to a 15lbs loss for this round - almost there. I am doing really good! Losing hair though - no amount of Biotin or any other supplement will change that, I think, with HypoT. I did see your post about loading - was excited to see you back. Are you doing a traditional round? what goal do you have in mind? I did complete the 23 days of dosing so this is a traditional round - though short- p3 will be 2 wks and no p4. then cycle back. I am not even going to load this time and see how that works. It just seems crazy to gain a few lbs back to lose it again. How are you feeling? all good? Amped up for t his round? Happy V Day!
How is your progress? I am on my second loading day - R2. How is cycling working for you?
Thanks so much! Your success and friendship has really inspired me! I am learning new things every day! The forum is filled with so many knowledgeable people...more than any other site I have ever tried. It's funny, I already had those supplements in my arsenal and have taken them from time to time but not together... Maybe that, along w HCG, will finally allow me to be at peace with my body. Have a very Happy New Year! I wish you vibrant good health in 2012 & beyond!
Hi, Julie, Thanks for your comments on the forum. There is so much to learn and I totally dig it. This whole program has completely altered my relationship with food, and I am so happy about it. Who would have thought that more protein and healthy fats would aid in fat loss?
Ahhhh Leptin Reset! I find that whole program a little daunting. It will be something I have in my back pocket ---- just in case. But for now, I am in P3. THis time of year presents many challenges but I hope I will come out ok when the dust settles. Cant wait to hear more of your great success!
Hi, NewJulie! I am not sure about cycling, at least before doing another round. I haven't done much research about it. I will plan on finishing my P3/P4 using the Leptin Reset and then I'm going out of the country for 10 days. I'll return and start Round 2 on Feb 14th. Let me know how cycling works for you. I simply want to lose the weight and stabilize. If I stick to the BAB, it really fills me the entire day. When I've deviated from it (snacking), it's caused issues. It's amazing how I don't crave nor obsess about sugar/carbs. I am completely content and excited about losing more weight and keeping it off!!!!!
Hey, you and I share some similar views and I wanted to pick your brain on cycling, if you are up for it. I don't see the benefit of doing P4 for me. I have never been able to keep my weight down when I eat starches and sweets so I don't think this will ever be likely. So what would be the point of a P4? I have a business trip Jan 18 & 19 th and am considering using those days as load day for R 2 w P3 foods only. Wondered what you thought. I am anxious to get back to the losing part of this. But I understand the need to give the body a chance to catch up. I was also considering short cycles like 2-3 wks on P2 followed by 1-2 wks on P 3 with no P 4. Not sure yet. I want to listen to my body too! Hope you are doing great! Julie
