Thread: LOVELY LOSERS 2019 - ALL IN for August!!!!

Pearly: I have a hypothesis. Instead of your small gains being from P3 foods, do you think it could have been something in P2 that's affecting your ongoing stabilization? Or was it only when you hit P4 that it started? I know Grammy always says that certain things you do/eat in P2 can affect your stabilization. Just a theory. I hope it gets all sorted out.

Down 1.2 today! Must be the less stress of my house issues lol

For anyone in P2 that's not doing 100% strict original protocol, I have an amazing recipe for a frozen blueberry smoothie.

I split this up into 2 servings:
1.5 cups non-fat greek yogurt (I used chobani original flavor)
1 cup blueberries
1/4 tsp vanilla
sweetener to taste (I used a few packets of truvia)

Freeze at least 4 hours. It's supposed to be 154 calories for each serving but I calculated 1 serving to be about 121. The chobani yogurt has 4 grams of sugar that I got.

It's at least your protein and fruit

Amazingly, I forgot to weigh yesterday, which gave me a day off from worrying about the roller coaster. Today, I also was in a hurry and forgot to weigh before I got into the shower, and was half dressed when I remembered. (forgot to weigh two days in a row? Obvious Mental Block!)
I gave myself .2 for undies and wet hair, and am still right at 138. 3 pounds over, but at least I didn't GAIN the past few days.

Seems like my best bet is to keep on keeping on. I do not like me at 138 and too many of my pretty summer dresses Do Not Fit the way I want. What I should do is cycle back and do another 21 days and see if I can get to 130. But not sure I want to or that it is a good idea. ARGH.

Onward evah buddy!
P

I've had a wild 2 days so far! Taking care of a 3 & 4 year old for a few days- grandkids. Love them both. Their parents are so grateful to have a few free days. Both live out of town & don't have much support in that department.

I've been trying real hard to not eat anything that may tip the scale in the neg zone and hopefully, I'm doing well. As long as I can stay away from the sugar! I will say that I still add a tad of heavy cream to my coffee & it doesn't seem to hurt much. If that's the worst I do.....

Sounds like everyone is doing well & I feel for you, Pearly with P3. I've heard in the past that our bodies may have an ideal weight they prefer and it's not always the same weight we prefer! Go figure. That's how I heard about the Leptin reset. It's suppose to reset your hypothalamus somehow. I don't always understand the science to all of that, but many say it has worked for them.

That smoothie sounds good, hcg and I may try it. I've done FFF on occasion and it doesn't seem to have hurt me any. I haven't done the cottage cheese though, but many vegans are known to use those two sources of protein with no problem.

You all have a great TGIF!!


Week 1 -7.0
Week 2 -1.4

Boy, I'm going to sleep a lot when these little ones are gone! Not use to getting up so early! ha!
I'm down a total of 10lbs so far!! Happy I hit the 10 lb loss mark. Victory with every lb loss, ladies!!

Have a great Friday!

Week 1 -7.0
Week 2 -1.4

Gem: Enjoy the little ones! It'll be nice handing them back off though lol

Pearly: At least no gain! But I get it - you're comfortable with a certain range and if you're not there it's just all off. You could try cycling back in. I've done that and only did 1-2 more weeks and still stabilized.

AFM: I'm down 0.6 from the last couple days. I'm taking it as a win because all I had yesterday was an apple and soup. AND a (most likely sweetened) tea with lemon in it. I felt like I had to at least drink something at the party thing I went to. Everyone else was eating nachos and at least I resisted that lol

Lex: It is most likely just the sodium. Could be partially from the vodka though because some people can't have any alcohol in P2 without gaining. I'm sure you'll be back down tomorrow
