    Morning everyone! I hope you are all doing good!

    Just checking in:

    P1 VLCD D2 Stepped on the scale this morning and I am down 2.8! Woo hoo! Went from 229.8 to 227.0.

    When I got off work yesterday I was pretty hungry, so I went home and ate half an apple and then took a nap. I woke up and made dinner, and then had the other half of the apple for dessert. When I was watching American Idol last night it seemed like every good food comercial that came on, came on when I was watching TV. :(

    Yum, I think I am going to try that melba bread crumb chicken recipe, thanks! :)

    How is everyone else doing?

    Thanxs disp29

    I need to have an attitude change and remember how much better it feels being in my body since I started this

    its funny since I have 6 lbs to lose instead of being happy that I'm getting close its a little frustrating cuz its going slow and I may have to stay on p2 longer than I planned -

    Definitely time to look on the bright side :)

    Morning everyone... daily check in...

    VLCD4-This morning I was down .8 ... small bummer, but I won't complain.
    That brings me to a 7.2 loss, but only a 2.2 loss when I factor out the load weight...

    Great job Somemanthacee, was looking forward to reading your results on here! yay!!

    ZJ- you're only 6 pounds from your goal weight? Oh that's awesome... and I'm sure you know, it's also typical to start really slowing down with weight loss the closer you get to your goal weight... I often here people saying that the last ten pounds are the hardes... : ( - but you're doing great! Don't give up!

    Hi Everyone!

    Congratulations EVERYONE on your weight loss. HANG IN THERE!

    I was wondering if anyone else had done a cleanse before starting loading days and vlcd? I read a condensed version of Simeon's plan and don't recall whether or not he mentioned a cleanse. A friend of mine did the program after extensive research and he did a 2 week Candida cleanse (Rainbow Light probiotics) to alleviate sugar & starch cravings (my downfall). I did 2 weeks on the Candida, my loading days, and 36 hours into vlcd I'm down 7.3 lbs. If you are considering doing this program, I'd HIGHLY recommend starting this way, because from what I'm reading about what some of the others here are going through, I really feel for them. I think I would be miserable if I were hungry, headachey, and craving ANYTHING. I'm not hungry at all until I know I'm about to eat, and for the first time in my life, I don't want to eat EVERY POSSIBLE DELICIOUS FOOD POSSIBLE. Let's put it this way -- loading days -- I ate a whole box of Devil Dogs in 24 hours without even batting an eye. I LOVE THEM. Now, I don't care.

    So I guess I'm curious if anyone else did a pre-diet cleanse and how you fared?

    Also, does anyone know why tuna is not permitted?

    Thanks!

    I am getting ready to start the program, and I am trying to get all the correct personal products that I can use.
    Can anyone help me with what they are using for:
    face soap/make-up remover
    body soap
    shampoo/conditioner
    hair products like moose/gel, ect.
    lotions
    toothpaste
    make-up

    I know we need to make sure that we do not use anything with oils or creams, so I was just wondering if anyone has found good products to use while on the program.

    Thank you for your help!!!

    I bought the Jason brand shampoo and conditioner last night at Vitamin Cottage and they also had the tom toothpaste and deodorant that I heard were both good on protocol. I plan on getting some mineral foundation tonight at walmart..and I am pretty sure you can use the neutrogena oil free for moisturizer.
    Thankful People: gonnabeskinny

    erica - i think back in the day when Simeons wrote the protocol, tuna was packed in oil. And now you can get it packed in water..I've seen people eat it while on protocol and still do fine. I am not sure if it's really allowed or not.
