Have no idea what I want to put back up there, other than something easily cleaned.

Beth, thank you for the sound advice on moving into P3.

Regarding the cabinets...we have a similar setup and we removed all plants, etc for the very same reason. Have you considered faux painting of some sort to match your design? For example, if you have a tuscan theme, the exposed brick popping through here and there with a few vines is a classy touch.

Dave: Thanks for the encouragement! The thesis is part of an awesome scholarship I have so it's a have-to-do thing...but I know it will be good for my future to have that under my belt...just lots of work :/ But my meeting went really well and my advisor said everything looked good, he also said he admires me for doing everything I have going on, so that was a good compliment! Now I have lots more work to do before the end of November...About going into P3, I would just go ahead and go into it before the trip, instead of doing another PI then only having a few days left of P2 after. Might as well just keep it all P3. Your progress has been awesome, I bet you can get off the rest of your weight in your next round! I agree with itsy too that it would be nice to have the option for carbs at the holidays...I'm making sure I'll be in P4 for a few days before Thanksgiving for that very reason. But ultimately it's up to you and how you feel!

egg question: Don't know who asked and don't feel like looking back lol...but I'm in P2 and I eat eggs. I was told 3 whites and 1 whole egg so that's what I've done and I've been fine with it. I make egg drop soup about every other day because I like it so much, and I'm not always in a meat mood. I also do high intensity workouts a few times a week so when I do that I usually eat 2 hard boiled egg whites right after. Sometimes when I'm on the go for lunch I make hard boiled eggs and eat 3 whites and 1 whole egg, with lettuce or cucumber usually.

New Life: Dang, size 9?! Awesome! The smallest jeans I'm in right now are a 10...but they are getting a little big on me...maybe I need to try on some smaller ones just to see...I haven't worn a single-digit size since high school...maybe even middle school...but I've always had hips so usually that's where I need a bigger size.

Today has been a great day for me! Even going off 3 hours of sleep, I don't feel the crash and burn yet haha. I'm about to make some lunch, then try for a little afternoon power nap! Have a good afternoon everyone!

Edited to add: I think I broke some kind of record earlier...I was walking to class and stopped by a little on-campus cafe and bought a 1-Liter bottle of water. I drank it all in the 5ish minutes the rest of the way to class! That's at least a personal record for me...I felt kind of sick for a few minutes after...so much water all at once...if anyone saw me they would probably think I'm crazy. But had to get my water in

lol

Jeff: Yep, best diet ever! Sooooo weird! Maybe your body is just rejecting all that fat...nope don't want it! Haha. I can only hope that will ever happen to me...

Yeah, but I did not feel like eating today and I have only eaten two melba (dried cardboard) toasts. I'll probably gain now.

I say it is weird because I have always gained weight during fat loading.

Hey all! *waves*
I posted a while back when I was getting prepped to start my hCG diet. I loaded Sunday and Monday, gained about 1.4lbs total and yesterday was my first VLCD day. Morning was a bit rough as I felt a bit hungry (I don't think I ate enough during my second loading day). Woke up this morning and lost 3lbs! My boyfriend did great, he lost 5,6!

Today is much easier, although I find it actually difficult to eat. Before I started, I found it unbelievable that some had a hard time finishing a 150-calorie meal but I'm having the same problem. I ate my "lunch" at 3:30pm (I did have my apple at about noon) after going for an hour long walk but I am not feeling hungry. Anyway, I'd much rather not be hungry than the opposite but I don't have much appetite for my meals except for fruits and melba toast (self-admitted sugar addict here).

Today is D1 of weaning off HCG. So what weight do I record? After the 2 off hcg days or before? I wanted to say good luck to everyone still on P2.

All I can say Jeff is that if it was going to happen to somebody it would be you! LOL...good luck this round!

You record the weight you last took drops - i.e., last drops were this morning, today would be your LDW.

**mz50** · October 12th, 2011, 01:46 PM

Hi everyone!!! Emily Woot for starting P3 soon. !!

I'm almost done with week 2 of P3, still staying within my LDW. this morning i am .8 over. and guess what? uggg, I'm getting TOM. I haven't had one in 6 months. darn darn and double darn. go away already.

Dear TOM, I'm going to 50 this month and it's time for you to take a hike, I thought you left for good, *sigh* guess you need intermittent visits.. Sheesh.......

BIG Question!!

I'm heading out for Las Vegas in the AM. I won't be able to weigh myself for a couple of days but I'm tracking my foods in myfitnesspal. I'm invited to a couple of things that will be serving Champagne. I haven't drank any wine at all (not a fan). Should i risk a glass of champagne? I checked the calories & carbs and it's pretty much the same as wine if not lower in carbs. Help???

Beth_M - nice drop from your nut day, do you feel kind of nutty at the end of the day?

As for R5, just wanting to get back down to where I was before the honeymoon. I felt SUPER comfortable at 119 and even better at 117. I am going to give it one more shot since this last round with the honeymoon I kind of screwed everything up...we shall see!!!

WHAT?!?!? You are like Daniel, he does super good on P3 and still loses!

**Urs2u** · October 12th, 2011, 02:37 PM

Beth - I am still jealous of all your home improvements.

flychick - in P2 I eat 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites for one of my meats.

Jeff - Double Lucky!

Lynda - I hate the dentist!

Buzz - Good luck on your journey to a smaller you.

New life RN - SO COOL!!!!

Pwoman - 22 lbs is great!

BarbaraS - sorry about your .2 this am.

Ceridwen - You are almost at 100 lbs - wow!!!!

Hannahbanana - funny about your TMI. Good luck on your proposal.

Blamp - I had a Stepsister (my whole step family for that matter) that was full of drama and other sh**. After my mom passed I told her that I was done and I hopped she had a nice life and I never wanted to have anything to do with them again. My life is so much better now! I know you can't do that to a blood relative but it is your life - draw some lines.

Smileyfrog - Maybe your drop it is from the extra sweat in yoga from the annoyance of short boy. lol

hellomedina - Remember to warn us if you are posting food ****. Sounds yummy.

Dave - Nice drop - you are getting close to your goal.

itsybitsy - Woo Hoo on the VFT!!!

Diane69 - good luck with the scale tomarrow.

my8kidsmom - you did really well with the hospital eating. You can do this.

Leslie - You go girl! All your DH has to do for encouragement is look at you!

Melissa - you will get those last lbs off. Just remember that your new boobs will look larger on your new smaller body. lol

AFM ~ I would be here everyday! Down 1.5 back under 180 - I have been very hungry so I took my drops down to 9 drops from 10. I feel better today. (so far) I do feel more in charge of my life. I guess I really needed that mini vacation to Vail. Have a great day everyone!
