I wear my tracker & it already said I'm at 12, 000 steps which seems wrong until I start thinking about my day with a 3 y/o! ha!

Take care everyone and Stay Focused!!

That's hilarious! We all need to add 3 year old to the protocol.

So my 3 y/o is gone and I'm starting my next load tomorrow & Tues. Just thinking about loading- makes me feel full! ha! I'm probably going to make this next round short so I'll have time to adjust some before Thanksgiving. At least that's what I'm thinking now.
I got into my 12's today and that gives me more inspiration to get back into my 8's & 10's. If I only make it to 10's, I'll be thrilled! It's been a very long time.....

Pearly- so sorry you are going through all of that stuff with your mom. Like I said before, I'm going through a few things as well. The "sandwich generation" is so true! Just don't forget to take care of yourself as you will not be any good to anyone or yourself being all tired & stressed out!

Hope you are enjoying P3, Jessie. I'm definitely going to miss it for awhile!!

Shout out to the rest of you on your journey to looking and feeling fabulous!!

Stay Focused!!

Thank you, Gem. I’m trying!

Well, weighed today—shouldna! Up exactly 2 pounds but still in my window. It took me 4-ever to lose that 2 pounds so not thrilled, but NOT going to fuss. Much.

I gave myself 2 hrs today to get gas and groceries so feel like I am ready for the week. Also got a load of laundry and checked on the wee doggies. They are starting to think they live alone.

Onward!

First day of loading! Took my gtts first thing. Feels weird. Ha! I'm already sitting @ 2lbs over my LDW so I'm going to be somewhat cautious loading for this round.

So, I've lost track of who all is in p2 now. Anybody? 🤔

Stay focused!! 😳

Good morning, Lovelies.

Gem, please have some bacon for me.

Jessie, please do not add a 3 yo to my protocol. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

I'm on P2D15, creeping along. I'm pretty sure I'm holding some water from inflammation. I spent the weekend replacing 35 wall outlets in my house (just to make them look purdy). The twisting was harder on my back than I expected. Oh, the joys of aging. At least I didn't break a fingernail. But I still have 18 to go... next weekend. Onward!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning! Sooo, the first day of loading & I went up a couple lbs! I use to think it was all the food I ate, but I'm thinking it's the mix w/the hcg I started taking. You know when you eat something off protocol & gain a lb or 2? I did eat a couple of things I avoided on p3/4, like a strawberry waffle and pasta. 🤭

So Kar, that's alot of plates to replace! Some of mine need replacing as well...
I'll be joining you tomorrow on P2! I can't wait! 😳 Looks like our group has thinned out some, but I know many are with us. I may be scarce after Fri for a week as we are going out of town again.

Stay focused!

**Kar** · October 22nd, 2019, 06:52 AM

Gem, Enjoy your 2nd day of loading! I haven't had a waffle in years. That sounds yummy. I'm looking forward to you joining me in P2.

As much work as it is, I'm glad I decided to replace the outlets. They look a lot nicer and I've encountered some safety concerns in the process. So far I have found two outlets that appear to have been added by a previous owner. One doesn't have a full junction box - they cut the entire back off of it, exposing the interior of the wall and they even notched off part of a stud that was in the way. I'm not an electrician, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't meet code.

At least I know it's there so I can do something to make it safer.

I got my whooooooosh today. TESS was kind enough to show a full pound loss. (insert happy dance here)

Hope everyone has a great day!

POUND DAY, KAR!

Woo hoo! Me too! Down .6 yesterday and down 1 pound today, so only .4 away from where I left. Not QUITE to goal, but so close. I'm not going to stress THAT.

I'll fix my ticker to be P3 soon. Not today. Not a second of free time. I haven't even made my bed yet, and dog sitter left clean sheets ready, on FRIDAY. I'm still just wrapping up in a blanket and sleeping on the mattress cover.... Yeah, why DIDN'T she make the )$%$) bed!???

Onward!

Well, it's finally here...VLCD1! 😣 That will turn to a "happy" face when the scale goes down which it already did this morning w/a 1.2 lb loss. I'm attributing that to a nice "whoosh!" (Man, I just dumped a whole cup of coffee on the floor- b4 the 1st sip!!)

Great going Kar & Pearly! Soon, I will be at my goal! Notice my optimism here 😁

Until then, I'll Stay Focused!!

**JessieB** · October 23rd, 2019, 08:11 AM

Ugh! TESS keeps going up daily. Yesterday (day 7) I hit 2 lbs over LIW so I did high fats every 2 hours. It dropped .4 but that's not going to cut it. I've seen this before in another round. It was a never ending cycle of steak days throughout P3/P4. Basically my body didn't want to stabilize. Last round was 53 days and I stabilized very well. This round was 38 injections. I'm going to continue eating P3 and see what happens over the next 4 days. If I don't come back to LIW then I'll be jumping back on P2 until the rest of my HCG is gone (10-14 days). I'll be darn if I'm going to waste another round and $400. Ugh

Good morning, Lovelies!

Pearly, Hopefully "life" will normalize for you soon. Congrats on the 0.6... Onward indeed!

Gem, Welcome to P2!

Jessie, Hang in there. I feel your pain! TESS usually isn't very kind to me, either, in P3/P4.

I was down another 0.8 today, which surprised me, but of course I'm not complaining. I doubt I'll reach goal this round, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Hope everyone has a great day!

**PearlyMae** · October 23rd, 2019, 10:18 AM

Okay, I updated my ticker. I'm using 130.8 as LIW, although my actual Last Day weight was 131.uh... forget. But I bounced off of 130.8 twice the last week, so that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

That's only 4 pounds over my original LIW from 6 years ago, but for some reason, I feel slimmer now than then. Multiple rounds of HCG does slim you in places you still have extra fat, even though the overall number doesn't change. I know my clothes fit better than they have at other, lower weights. So, I'm happy for now. With the holidays coming...eek.

I'm also not sure what Day of P3 I am on, although it is about... Monday to Monday, to Wed, if I started on Monday, which I THINK I did, except I may have started...never mind. Close enough. P3D9. Calling it.
