Kcooper, I hope I have luck with my steak day, tomorrow is the day, Ugh.... I dread it so bad!!! I am so frustrated because I feel like I do all the right things and no matter what lately here comes the gain....I can actually feel my clothes fitting tighter, it is only 3 pounds( as of this am) more I am sure tomorrow but on a 5'3 frame 3 pounds is a very big difference....Wish me luck tomorrow!!! And gluck to you too!
How's it going Amyjo? I had good results with my steak day, but it crept back on.. Oh well, I am loading today and starting a new round with a new attitude!
It going ok, I am glad it is 7, I ate around 4:15 and was stuffed then but I could eat again already :)
What did you eat the days following your steak day? I am going to try to eat low carb tomorrow, I have logged my food in my online journal for tomorrow already and have around 40 carbs, those come from natural pb,lettuce and greek yogurt so we will see how it goes? How long did you keep it off? I was really trying to stay low bc we have a wedding to go to Sat night and I REALLY want a peice of wedding cake( I have been dreaming about it for over a month, it is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE)and the harder I tried to stay low, the higher my scale climbed....I hope that this steak day takes off a bunch, that way even if I gain from tomorrow a bit I will still feel like I can have a peice of cake, I want it sooooo bad!! I have decided I think that if it doesn't work then I might start another round too and make the most of my cake by loading with it ha ha. I have been wanting to do another very short round, possibly even cycle it, but I have not been in a very good mindset, until now, now I just want to GET IT OFF lol!
Good luck and I hope everything goes great for you on your next round, who knows I might be right behind you?!
good morning! Well down 2 pounds but still just .4 below my "mark" I would like to have a little more wiggle room but I am planning to do high protein,low carb today and see what happens? I would like to lose just .6 more to give myself just a little more room....for breakfast I had to have natural peanut butter 3 tbs worth ha ha I know not exactly low carb but no added sugar so we will see? Hope everyone has a good day!
Thats awesome amyjo! I would stick to high protein/clean veggies if I were you and could do it all over again. This time when I get into P3, I am promising myself to add one thing, one day at a time and really focus on increasing my P2 portions until I know for sure what I can eat.
Oh. My. Word. I am in my last day of loading and up 10 lbs!! I feel absolutely dreadful.. loading isn't as much fun as one would think!!! And it gets harder every round. Oh well, never been to excited about 500 calories tomorrow!!!
kcopper, I am pissed, it came back! I was so afraid it would come back and it did, I ate SOOOOO good yesterday and I am getting so mad! I just don't get it!!! I am now over my "mark" by almost a pound and almost 1.8 from my LDW. The only thing that wasn't completley high protein was the natural pb but I have never had a problem with it before...heck Idk, I probably messed up by doing that and didn't even know it. I asked my bf this am what he wanted to load with because we were starting over today when I got off the scales and was up, I was just mad, I didn't mean it, I figured up last night when would be a good time for us to do another round and I am thinking that it will be early October probably if we are going to before the holidays, we are leaving for chicago in a few weeks and don't want to be onVLCD then. Ugghhhhhh sorry for the rant, I just want to cry!
Keep up the good work loading, what are you loading with???
I completely understand.. thats what happened to me! Did a perfect steak day, ate well the next day and BAM, it came back.
I loaded with avocado, almond butter, pizza, ice cream, mug cake, sushi and snacked on dark chocolate and almonds. I gained almost 10 lbs with it and was scared to death, but 9 came off after yesterday being VLCD1. So, today I am so motivated! Making green tea and drinking lots of water. Went to the store and loaded up on P2 foods.. ready to lose!
kcooper, wow!!! That is fantastic 9 lbs in 1 day, oh that would be SOOOO great, I bet you are so excited! I am doing another steak day today but it seems easier because I have been out all day getting lots of stuff for our new puppy that we get wednesday, so excited! I am up 2.6 pounds from yesterday and I was .6 above my mark yesterday so yeah, way up today....I really had a BAD attitude yesterday and ate whatever I wanted, I had bread at outback, a roll for dinner on my sandwhich, pasta salad, baked beans and 3.5 yes 3.5 peices of wedding cake.....I was so ticked off for all that eating good and stilling gaining I just said SCREW it, plus I LOVE!!!!! wedding cake, my absolute FAVORITE!!!! Anyway, I knew I would need a steak day today but I figured I would be so busy why not, I hope that this time it comes off and sticks but if not surely several "protein" days following will. If not, I really don't care, I told my Bf yesterday that I was so sick of being obsessed with the scales and I was just going to eat "healthy" ( that is excpet for last night lol) I woke up today with a better attitude and I am feeling like I can do this for life. I really think that I needed a 'cheat day" I had been SOOOO good and even my "cheats" were healthy stuff likenatural peanut butter and apple, I do love that don't get me wrong but I needed to just go out and say screw it ha ha.
Good luck to you on your next round, sounds like you are off to a GREAT start!!!!
