Thread: Big Girls Weighing Over 250 Lbs

Have to admit the scale and I have a mutual admiration thing going on right now. Have NEVER been so eager to get on a scale before. So instead of waiting til tomorrow and doing the weigh every other day thing, I had to go weigh today. And the scale dropped 2 more pounds. I'm down 8 total. I know the weight won't keep up this pace forever but it sure is cool while it is happening. Never happened for me on anything else I've tried.

Hello fellow bama girl! lol. You can do this. To me this is the easiest diet I've ever been on. The key is to say NO to the things you know you can't have. LOL. Good luck. I'm official on P3 for 3 weeks now. I'm gonna try to finish my last 50 lbs with 2 short 23 day rounds. Keep in touch!

AFM...I didn't lose NOT 1 POUND this entire week. TOM on the horizon so I'm glad to be taking a 3 week P3 before starting again on Oct 9th!

Happy Losses! I will continue to check in

Hi Ladies!

Its been a while since I posted...had a friend in from out of town so I have been quite busy. Just trying to catch up on all the posts and it looks like everyone is trucking along and doing great. It has been an interesting week for me. I am a week in to round 4 and surprised and happy at how my body responded to the foods I ate over the last week. One thing I found...my feet swell like crazy if I drink red wine...even just one glass. I tried a few new things (croutons on cesar salad, crab/fish cakes, red wine, mango sorbet, kashi granola bar, FRENCH FRIES!) surprisingly I did not gain like I thought I would. The stabilization phase has deffinitely worked. Before my friend came I was 205.4 now I am 206. Not to bad if I say so myself. I plan on doing a steak day tomorrow only because I dont feel like eating after this week and I want to see if I can get a little closer to my LIW of 203. Over all I am a happy girl! One thing I know helped me...I drank water like a mad woman. This experience made me realize how amazing HCG is.

Have a good one

Hi ladies, I am checking in finally got moved and am getting everything unpacked and organized in our new place. Hubby and I will be starting our 2nd round Monday doing load days Sat/Sun. Not sure how exactly I am feeling about this new round, there is a part of me that is excited because I am sure to see "onederland" but I don't know just feeling like blah about the whole thing. I am thinking because the holidays are approaching and I know there will be tons of food around and our last round was long. Might just do a 30 day round this time. I guess I should rejoice I don't have to cook 3 meals a day only 2 lol! Looking forward to my one treat on load day which is a brownie/ice cream treat they serve at Chilli's, but the borningness of Phase 2 is just getting me down already. I am going to take after pics and measurements, to do a side by side comparison will try and post if I get brave enough. What are some realistic expectations for round 2 for those that have done multiple rounds already? Well I am off to unpack another box they seem to be never ending lol....

Enjoyed a beautiful day today. Clear skies and cooling temperatures. Seems like everything else in life just gets faster and faster. VLCD 6 and 10.2# gone. I've got to take measurements cause it seems clothes fitting a little differently. Hope everybody has a good day tomorrow. :-)

I just put my steak(s) in the fridge too How does the fasting go? I read a bit about it but I am curious. I think we are in the same boat..yours is Italy weight..mine..friend weight lol.

Still hanging on to the Italy weight, but it's my own fault. I am basically doing intermittent fasting (knowing fully well that it doesn't work well for women), since I only have coffee with cream during the day, then mainly meat for dinner. Add crappy sleep to that - and yes, my added 3-4 pounds are alive and kicking. Need to up my veggies and actually get some sleep, but no chance before the weekend... work is insane.

So for today, again the same plan - no food, just coffee - but I do have a gorgeous 14 oz steak waiting at home. It is huge, it is mine, and I will do my utmost to make it nice and juicy for dinner.

Today was such a busy day. Seems I spent most of the day running errands. And my list is still a mile long (or 1.6 km depending on where you live, :-)

I still have to have a good organizing day in my house but with everything removed from our guest bedroom for painting and dropped into the office and living room, I guess there's not much hope for that right now.

I want to put all the P2 recipes I've been collecting into my computer recipe program, so I can make my grocery lists faster. Maybe that can be my next week project.

I'm still applying for work and hoping something comes up soon. But I've been so busy with all the household stuff, I wonder how I'm going to fit it all in. :-)

So today is VLCD 7 and am down 12.4. I also measured myself today and i've lost 9 inches off my body!! I want to scream it from the rooftop. Lol. No one else would notice yet besides me, but it feels sooooo good!! Am so blown away by how it's working.

I thought about adding in some light exercise but the weight's coming off so steadily, I'm afraid to jinx it. I've actually lost more per day the last 3 days than the first 4. I've also figured out that I show higher losses on the days that I get more than 80g of protein.

Happy Friday everyone.

Hey all! It's official, my LDW is 204.4. I still have my transition days to get thru, and off to P3/Paleo/LRx. I don't really count myself doing the Whole 30, 'cause it isn't a Whole 30 for me, but a Whole Life! My family is still resistant, and I am not going to push, at least they will get one decent meal a day (the rest of the day will be soda, chips, canned pasta, fast food, seriously sucks to be them!).

Sunday night I will get to eat what everyone else eats (that I make!), and I am not sure as to what I want. I am definately having zucchini, cooked in plenty of butter!

Sunday (day) I will be making up a batch of mayo, ketchup and BBQ sauce (I love condiments!) and invest in some vinegars for dressing. I might try out a recipe for Paleo ranch, and see how that is (I love Hidden Valley, but they should call it Hidden MSG).

Anyway, this has been a great ride. hCG has done right by me!
