Thread: June Bugs for Phase 2 - Let's Lose Weight Together!

Well, I did it again....I ate dinner then suddenly realized I had forgotten to take my drops! ERR!!! But I guess it was okay since I woke to a WHOPPING 1.6 loss. I thought my scale was acting up, because even on R1, I NEVER lost that much at one time!

Yamy - Enjoy Disney!!

How is everyone else doing today??

Hi Ladies!

Had another great visit from the pound fairy...dropped 1.2 this morning! Flying to Los Angeles this evening (with my daughter and my drops), so I won't be able to post for a few days. At least Los Angeles is in the 80's compared to these 100+ temps in TX!

Crissy - I had headaches a day or two after stopping the drops as well. It's all due to adjustment. Doesn't it feel great when others notice your losses?

Hope everyone has a great day! See ya'll again in a few days!

Thank you! Day 1 of P3 I added butter. Day 2 was bacon in an omelet, yummers. Day 3 was Almond butter on my celery sticks. I also decided to cut out fruit and my well loved Melba Toast for the first week. So far so good. I've fluctuated gaining or losing .2lb a day, but I am still within the 2lb limit. I am so use to getting mad at myself for gaining. I have to remind myself that I am in p3 now, and 2lbs is the number I need to watch for.
I just got home from camping this weekend, and i opted not to bring my scale. I hope the numbers will be okay tomorrow morning. Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend!

Finally!! Reached my goal for this round and am heading into P3 I'm so ready for some P3 foods too. A total of 40 pounds is wonderful, but I still remember I have a long way to go. I've discovered a few things on this round that I want to share. Don't know if this will be the same for everyone else, but found out this for myself. I went on a verrrry long round this time, and it wasn't worth it. Today was the start of day 44 of the VLCD and that is way too long. I've really struggled on this round too, much more than on my first round. So I know this -- You really need to go off of P2 for longer than 2 weeks (which is what I did). Yes, I stabilized very well, but started back soon for DS. I don't think my body had time to adjust and that's why this round was so slow in losing. First round I dropped 24 pounds, and this round was a real struggle to get off the load weight and a total of 20. 43 days is way too long to go without other foods. I found myself cheating way too much and just wanting other foods. Looking back over my calendar, my best loss weighs were in the first 3 to 4 weeks. So, I will be heading to P3 on Friday, which means I stop my pellets today (had them this morning first thing) so I will not have any more the rest of the day. My HHCG says I only have to go 48 hrs, but will do a little longer to be safe. Friday I will get to have my breakfast!! I plan on going to P3 for at least 3 weeks, then P4 for at least 3 weeks. I plan on going back on the HCG around the first to middle part of October. I'm fairly certain, I'll just be on it then for a max of 30 days or so. Want to be on P4 by Thanksgiving, then will not start back up again till January 1st!. Like I said previously, I have a lot more weight to lose, but have decided I'd be best to take it slow and let my body adjust. I will continue to check back here as I still need the support I've received from all my friends here and I want to continue to see everyone's progress! BTW, DS also reached a goal of 25 pounds this round. He too has a lot more to lose, but he follows along with me and will go back on again in October

Going dress shopping for DD upcoming wedding in a few days. So happy to be looking for a size 18 instead of a 22. Also, finally bought a new dress to wear to DD first bridal shower this past Sunday. When dressed with my heels on, my hubby gave me the best compliment in years!! He said "you're looking hot!" Now that's to a chubby, white haired woman he's been married to for almost 36 years. Can I say that I felt just wonderful!!!

Peggy - that's awesome. And it's because you ARE hot. You just have to feel it. You're two whole dress sizes down which is amazing! Best of luck to you stabilizing and thanks for the tips!

Well, I returned yesterday afternoon from my short trip to Los Angeles. Got the hcg through security with no problems, although they looked at it....While there, I ate close to protocol having salads, etc. but hubby took us to this mexican food place called Casa Gaminos and I ended up getting the largest burrito ever and ate the entire thing. Those of you from CA will probably know the place I'm talking about! Anyways, then returning home yesterday, my daughter and I went to Cici's Pizza and I put away about 7 slices, then to the ice cream place and downed a banana split. I woke to only a .2 gain from what I weighed when I left, and I was SO totally shocked!

It was in the 80's there with just beautiful weather! Even sat out at the hotel pool for 2 hours and got a tad bit sunburned. I didn't want to come back to Texas! Got off the plane and it was 107 at 4pm. YUCK!

Peggy - You've done an awesome job! WTG!!

Crissy - I love cooking with coconut oil...discovered it while in P3, but now I use just a weee bit of it to cook my tilapia in on P2. Works great!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous hump day!
