Down another .4 today, yippee!

Only 4 days to go till P3 and I'm thinking that for those last 10lbs to go I would have to lose 2.5lbs per day and I really see THAT happening (not)!

That's ok though because this is officially the lowest I have weighed for over 12 years! My older sister who lives in another state told me last night that she is worried about me (bless her cotton socks) and that I will be wasting away to nothing. I laughed and said that as long as I can ...

Woke to a very modest .2 loss this morning and that was by coaxing the scale to be nice to me, otherwise it might have been a stall lol!

That damn cat was using my bed as a jumping castle for half the night, next time I catch him napping I am going to get him with my water pistol I think - it's payback time!

I am amazed how far an apple can go on this diet - yesterday I stewed my apple in cinnamon, allspice and stevia, let it cool and put it in the fridge. I had 3 snacks ...

Happy to see the scale moving in a downward direction today, so have lost what I managed to stall/gain over the last four days! I had a dry brush and detox bath yesterday and nearly fainted, but it's a good tool to have and I'll keep doing it. It really does feel in the midst of a stall that the scale ain't going any lower, and then suddenly it does! Woo hoo! So if you are having a stall keep your chin up, keep following the protocol and be rewarded.

Countdown to P3 is on, and I think ...

Well, blech! Woke this morning to a gain of .6. Feel like crying all over my cup of tea and breadstick!

I only have 7 days of drops left (hopefully my drops will last) and I lay awake at night asking myself questions like - if I am only eating 500 cals or less a day how is it I am putting on weight? Because I feel so well, doesn't that mean my bloodstream is drenched with the nutrients from all the nasty fat I am living off from my body? So shouldn't I be losing? How much water can ...

Well I guess it had to happen. I was losing consistently and happily and now this is the third day of no losses whatsoever. Oh well, with TOM on the way I suppose I should be grateful it's not worse and not putting any on. I lost the .1 I gained two days ago, which is something!

I have to admit, yesterday I nearly threw in the towel. I felt like I was obsessing about food, and tried just to focus on drinking water a lot - I found if I put just a drop of vanilla creme stevia into my ...

Bugger! Gained .1 overnight - I think maybe cause I didn't drink enough water yesterday.

And I had to attend a day long workshop today where they had a barbeque that smelt awesome ! and I sat there and ate my chicken and cucumber with acv and mustard dressing.....and planned my escape in 11 days into P3 and all that means

I will try and pump more water in before I go to bed tonight, so I guess that means a lot of sleep-walking visits to the bathroom.

...

Wow! is all I can say. Down another 1.1 today and I know I keep saying that this is the least I have weighed since I don't remember when - but hopefully I can say it tomorrow and the day after that and so on until I reach my goal.

No culinary adventures to report from yesterday, just made the beef stew in the slowcooker which will have to go for 4 days if I have one serving a day.

Off to get some more kelp noodles for the chicken portion of my diet day, they make my ...

I decided after reading on the forum to take a detox bath last night, somewhat improvised as I didn't have Epsom Salts, so I put grated ginger, baking soda and some french lavender salts in the bath.

So lying in the bath wondering how long I would last (I don't usually stay for long in hot baths as I get dizzy) when Charlie Buttons decided to leap off the bathmat and straight into the bath - have you ever seen a cat walk on water lol! Very funny - wish I had a video of that moment! ...

Ok, it's day 26 for me and I am down another .8 - this is really awesome and I am so pleased! Can't remember when I was this low.

So far I've lost 15 pounds, which is now over halfway, and I am really, really happy about that. Doing this whole protocol right means that I have another 14 days of drops + 2 days on VLCD and then I can get back onto Atkins-type eating again, which is my natural state, AND I won't be putting those pounds back on because I understand now how to monitor ...

Happy to see a loss of .4 this morning. Yesterday was pretty standard. I had a chicken broth soup with chicken breast, kelp noodles and fresh parsley and marjoram from the garden.

So I figured I could have 2 veg with my steak for dinner, so did zucchini and cherry tomato with garlic powder, baby capers and a little chicken broth. It looked huge on the plate and was delish!

I don't always do 2 pieces of fruit - I think I had half an apple yesterday, and I always seem ...
