Thread: VLCD1 July 23rd - who wants to join?

Memphis, step away from the french fries! I know you are having a crummy day but it will get better. And you certainly didn't ruin EVERYTHING. I still suspect your dose might be off. You've been at the lower dose for at least 3-4 days, right? You should pop over to one of Grammy's threads and see if she can help you get your dose right. And I know I've seen a few threads for folks who work nights, which represents its own challenges, I'm sure. Sending you happier thoughts today!

I eeked out -0.6 today after I was pretty sure I would see a big goose egg (tomorrow perhaps). I miss stress eating...and yesterday I.was.stressed. Work is stressful. Kids are stressful. Two special needs kids are stressful. And we thought our dog had lymphoma so I was stressed all day yesterday waiting on the results. I AM happy to say that it's likely not cancer afterall...but man I wanted a cocktail (or two!) and a bag of chips last night! I settled on a piece of crack, which on a fish/chicken day actually fit into my 500 calories.

I have today off work, my twins are in summer school so it's just me and my 3-year old. I'm going to get some overdue chores done to keep my mind off food and P3. Wish me luck with that!

Sending everyone good hCG vibes today!

Grrrr, youngest wanted "circles" at the grocery store (i.e., cheese balls) so I let him have them as a treat. Now I've got an open bag of cheese balls staring me down while everyone is napping. Really? Really?

So I'm on here, looking for a distraction.

Well I got new syringes, and it seems like I have suck in more than 120ius in order for it to register, cause after I squirt it out there is quite a bit left in the tip. So much that I was expecting to fill all 25 new syringes I got, and only filled about 17 or 18. I gained weight from my eating yesterday. I'm at 167.8

I stayed away from the circles . Still, only a -0.2 this AM. I told myself if I got 2 no-loss days in a row (I consider -0.2 pretty close to no-loss) I would cycle into P3 a little early. I'm almost hoping for no loss tomorrow, while still secretly wishing for -1lb!! I have 4 more days to get rid off that last 1.8lbs. I guess I'll know tomorrow...I'm so impatient!

Stay strong and focused this weekend!

I guess I'm still on P2 injections for 3 more days (2 if I run out of hCG). -0.8 on the scale this morning, which was my original goal (-1lb to my revised goal). So.ready.tocycle.

Wedding shower 1 of 2 today, but I'm not worried. I have a little issue eating home-prepared food from people I don't know so I'm unlikely to be tempted (the one thing that superscedes my food addiction is my neurosis ).

Happy hCG Saturday and sending everyone losing hCG thoughts!!

How is everyone hanging in there after the weekend?

Today is my first VLCD without an injection before I cycle into P3. I exactly hit my revised target, -16.8lbs in 20 days...woot!! Now I just need to maintain that within 1 lb during my 10 P3 days (my personal goal). I CAN do that! I'm going to stay P2 today/tomorrow with extra protein and veg. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that cycling works for me. I start to lose my momentum on this diet after W3 and I'm not great with P4 because it's too tempting to jump in too fast. But I think I can convince myself to cycle back into P2 if I know it's only for a few weeks. Let's hope so!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful OP Monday!

Hi ladies - looks like we're a party of 3 still .

Today was supposed to be my last P2 day (2nd day without injections) but I caved and had some cheese plus extra protein. I hope I don't pay for that tomorrow. This morning I was at the exact same weight as yesterday so I was happy (added an egg, extra protein and veggies). I've never once done a steak day and don't particularly want to start this round!

How is everyone's Tuesday?
