Thread: Over 200 Club: 50+ pounds to Lose

Hi everyone,

I fully intended to check in everyday to hold myself accountable but i had a PI and just did not want to think about weighing and the weight i was probably packing on but from now on i will check in everyday for personal accountability (Lord knows i need it haha).

CJ I lost the 50lbs in two rounds before which was great then. I have recently decided to take my life into my own hands after a very tumultuous 2014 and tackle everything that makes me unhappy. As they say, charity begins at home, so i am currently literally redecorating my flat and most importantly making myself look and feel happy. That's where the hcg steps in. After much research I have planned a 60 day extended round to get to goal as quickly as possible. I will also extend p3 to 60 or 90 days afterwards. I am planning a PI for Christmas so i can enjoy it with my little one. Tbh ive kind of lost track of what exact day i am on due to a lack of motivation and tom in the first week but its day 8 since i have been strict (with 4 days prior to that of me being rogue) so Day8 is what i will stick to.

I haven't done any consistent exercise since i was 15 so once in P3 i will complete a 30 day 'learn to run' challenge. I will also add yoga, dance and some fun fitness classes at my local gym. No definite plans as to how i will do that but my sister is very very fit so I'm hoping i will get some tips from her. I have kind of distanced myself from the rest of the family to achieve the 'wow' factor once i have lost a substantial amount. This morning i was at 214.6lbs and I remember feeling really good at 180 so thats my mini goal. I have also written a rewards list for every 5lbs lost.

A big thank you to all the welcomes and i hope to integrate into this group

Hi all,

Woke up to a 1.2lbs loss which is great because i was a little naughty with 2 ohh-so-delish bbq wings yesterday. Hope I won't pay for it in the morning. I had really bad cracings at work today (probably because both myself and my coworker are addicted to food-****... Especially just before christmas) but i stayed strong and had some grilled chicken shish kebabs. I really hope the weight loss fairy is kind enough to pick up some weight tonight, could really do with the boost. Ok well that was me checking in for today although it feels a little like ghost town right now. Great, just as i arrive the party, everyone else disappears haha. Ok well until tomorrow.

Night all

Hi Ladies!

I am back from the wilds. Two weeks traveling on business definitely tested my resolve at times. I spent a week in Florida in 80 degree temps then landed in Louisville, Kentucky in time for snow and a big freeze. Talk about a shock to the system - it was -4 there with the wind chill. I think I am just now defrosting. I flew home just in time for my 55th birthday!!!

It was really scary being without a scale the whole time - but as of this morning I am up just .2 over LDW so feeling pretty good.

I haven't had a chance to read what you have been up to - but wanted to pop in and let you know I'M BACK!!! Promise to read all your posts in the next day or so.

You would be amazed how satisfying a cup of oatmeal can be on P2. This is all OFF PROTOCOL, and does not help you keep losing as fast, but for me I may lose half as fast as normal if I do these things. I also do not count low carb veggies in my calories, and i eat as much of them as I want. . .which is also off protocol. I would do all that, but I wouldn't touch a chicken wing due to all the fat in the skin, and whatever is in the BBQ sauce. Just hoping to arm you with some options to help you stay away from fats. HTH

AFM: I am deep into P4, going up and down around 8 lbs over LDW. I have to get my head in it and stick with my modified protein/fat days to take off this water.

Hi Lynne, thanks for your advice. I do try to stay away from cheat items but I'm a stubborn rogue who likes to test her body's boundaries need to stay away from that for now and wait for the later phases.

I woke up to a 1.6lbs loss this morning HOWEVER i do get crazy fluctuations on my scale so went and bought new batteries. Fingers crossed that I haven't been reporting a lower weight than i actually am... I'm dreading the morning.
On a more positive note, i took a trip to ikea this evening and although i absolutely love their meatballs and hotdogs, i stayed firm and even sat by whilst my mum and son ate. Second time in ikea this week and second time I've been oh so good. It's weird... Whilst they were eating i felt kind of empowered, like "its my choice and this can wait until I'm happy in myself".

Anyway, I'm signing out and fingers crossed the weight loss fairy is good to us in the morning.
