So I am doing my first steak day today. And I am not surprised. I haven't been eating that well for the past two days. A bite here a bite there and here i am 3 pounds over my LIW. I really love ice cream. I didn't stuff my face but I did eat it with other questionable carbs. OH well. Hopefully this steak day brings me back to 130.

I have been working out a ton and it hasn't helped my lymph system at all. I get foot zoned regularly and I am being exposed to something that is making me feel blah. And it is interesting to see how the types of food I consume really affect the way I feel. I am starting to see that sugar makes me lethargic and somewhat grumpy.

Hooters Hooters Hooters! LOL! That's hilarious! =D

Sandy, sugar makes me feel like shyt!!!! Seriously! =/

Holly - welcome back from hiding! I feel the SAME WAY when I gain. Most of the time, lol, I keep it to myself because I am so MAD at myself! Are you in P3 yet sister? And are you on the forum FB page? Any of you?

139 this am = back within my 2 lbs... I'm SO EFFIN' SCARED of the next week!!! My daughter's 7th bday party.... cake, sweets, sleepover, then Thanksgiving!

Sandy I'm with ya ... trying to maintain through the holidays. This could get tough! I'm ready for my next round. Not ready for all that same boring P2 food again, but ready to get the last of this weight off! Ya know... I weigh in my underwear... every morning and see myself in the mirror. In the last couple of weeks I look in the mirror and see a chunky girl - not happy with my loss anymore??? I feel like I look like I did before the 17 lbs, though I know better. I stepped on the scale this AM and saw 138.0 -- which is .4 above LIW. Why do I feel chunky? Do you do this too???

I don't mind steak days, really, as long as they don't fall on a day where I have special food planned lol! Example - Thanksgiving. OMG. then Black Friday -- my BFF & I go shopping and then straight to IHOP mmmm!!!! I want the IHOP. Period. It's happening regardless. LOL.

Oh Amy I am soooo glad that you mentioned that. Even though I have lost all this weight, the past two weeks or so I just feel so fat. I know I look a lot better than I did before but I also remember being this weight in the past and being dissatisfied with my body. So I feel you on the being dissatisfied with where I am and feeling chunky. Its rough being a woman. I hope when I reach my final goal I can be happy with where I am because that would be disappointing to be skinny and still be unhappy with my body.

On a side note I lost 1.4 lbs from my steak day. I am still 1.6 lbs over my LIW. I am reconsidering changing my LIW to 131 since I haven't seen 130 since I started working out. I am doing a high protein day today to see if I can get back down. I suspect that TOM might be coming but I really don't know since it is so sporadic.

I'll have to check out the FB thing.

Amy & Sandy....I am sooooo right there with ya! I was so happy with being where I was that I wasn't even going to do another round. I figured it wouldn't be worth going thru the VLCD again for "only" 10 more lbs. Now, I look in the mirror when I weigh (have a huge mirror in front of my scale..in my undies, too) and all I see are the places that fat needs to come off!! I hate that! Everyone tells me how great I'm looking and all that. My sister (who has done 4 rounds and DONE) said that if I did another round I would be too skinny. I told her she only sees the clothed me, not the naked me, and there are definitely things that clothes hide! I really want to get started on R2, but waiting a few more days till thanksgiving.

WooHoo Mad Mommy!! WTG!!
