Congrats to everyone on their losses this morning YAY! :o) I am on R2P2VLCD2 and down 2lbs.. not all that much but I will take it! I know this last 15 lbs is going to be a lot harder to get off then the 30lbs lost on my first round..so I will stay positive!
Good Luck today everyone!!
Suggestion---->If I feel hungry I just down a water bottle..Usually makes me feel SUPER full after... and lasts a while.. but that is just what works for me!

So <drumroll>, I am down 2.2 lbs from the original day (before loading). Now I am thinking this could really work. Today is day 2 of VLCD. I have to admit that I am HUNGRY. I wasn't this morning, but lunchtime seems to be my weak time. I just had more romaine with canned chicken. I wish I had more, but I have to get used to this.

I am serioudly wondering about what I am going to do as far as 23 or 40 days. I have been invited to an ex-boyfriend's house for Thanksgiving. Our families are friends so there is no helping that. I am thinking of the meager amount of food that I will get to eat. I know it sounds trivial, but I know that there will be so much pressure! I don't want to announce that I am on a diet. What to do? My doctor's office told me that I could go off the shots the Monday before Thanksgiving and that I can do VLCD for three days and maintenance on the day of Thanksgiving and then get back on it. Does it sound too complicated? Is it even worth it?

Also, I am not sure if to stay with this for 40 days or for 23 and then try another round. I don't want to have to find myself in this VLCD for another round. Is this silly?

I have managed to get myself up to 151 lbs, which is a lot for my 5 foot frame. I need to get down to about 115 so that I don't look so "round." That is 35 Lbs. What are your thoughts?

Just let out your true opinions.

Also (YAY! We are losing weight.) I wanted to take a before picture and then an after, but I don't want a record of this weight. I am sounding so shallow that I can't believe myself.

Gonna drink water. . .

Weston girl we have about the same amount to lose. I also would like to get down to 115, did I mention Im also 5 feet exactly! I am doing a 40 day round, even with thanksgiving because I still have xmas! I have about 45 lbs to lose give or take. I weigh about 159 now. Good Luck!!!
Kay D- thanks for asking, Im doing a little better today I did a load day yesterday and actually lost a lb this morning somehow! hmmm Todays my first vlcd I just had lunch, Im hoping the hungar subsides in a couple days. I seem to get most hungry around lunch time. I have been trying to down water as much as I can. 40 oz so far today which is good for me! Good luck!!!!

Skinny Jeans! I started at 156 (according to the dr's scale). We have a very similar situation. Isn't it a lot for this height? I should just stay on the 40 day so that I can keep up at the same time as you. Won't we be done by Christmas, though? I counted it being like Dec. 17 or 18.


Kay D-- Yesterday my parents came home and brought my daughter a huge bag of snickers and m&m's. I saw two snicker mini-bars on the counter and I through them across the room like they were hot potatoes! I called out to my husband, "Catch them before I eat them!"

Okay, drank 40 ozs of water to kill the hunger pangs. It worked. I just have to go to the bathroom now!

Skinny and Weston,
I am just like you girls! I started at 158.8. I am only 5'1". It is so sad because I used to get freaked out if my wt climbed above 114!!. Anyway, I did 27 VLC days, the (almost) 3 days without the drops of 500 cals and tomorrow will be my first day of P3. YAY. I lost 16.5 lbs. So now I am at 142. The losses really slow down toward the end. So I decided to start another round in January (or maybe make my loading days Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) and lose the last 20-25. I'm feeling so much better. Don't cheat--at all! You will pay for it with a 3 day stall...We can do this and we will all be "petite and perfect" lol
