Thread: LOVELY LOSERS 2020 - FEELIN' FINE in FEBRUARY!!!!

Happy Saturday Lovelies,

Tracy and Mama, salt always does me in! I don’t cook with much salt, usually no salt and so salty food can really cause a gain for me.Tracy eating late can show up on the scale as a phantom gain too, so just hang in there.

I believe people stabilize better in P3 with just walking, and continueing what is normal for you. Once I went hard at exercising in P3, it really screwed me up. So now I am waiting until P4 to become a gym girl.

AFM: last night was a P3 slip and skid at the cocktail dinner party. I ate the shrimp, beef and ahi as well as one oily marinated artichokes and some bruschetta topping. A glass of Cabernet and 3 bites of dessert. More food than I have had at P3 day 3 so today I am up .8 lbs. I blame the salt! Today I will be careful as tonight is my favorite Italian joint and they make great ciopinno. But no bread and I will try to hold the wine!

Also, I find a cup of herb tea very satisfying now vs. emotional eating. It’s a new habit. Good work. I also stay away from the kitchen!

Ok salt challenged buddies! Hang in there! We are going for the win!Together!

Fondly,
RK

RK, my tea basket is like a little pharmacy. Our office was recently gifted some Wise Ape tea (a NJ org, look them up - awesome company) and I "borrowed" the nighttime tea for home, it's an orange dreamsicle blend and now my favorite part of the day. Anything with ginger is tasty, too. My life of crime, oh dear. But no one should be sleepy at work, that's my argument.

Mama, your go-to's are good resources, I like your fall back plan a lot! And oh that dastardly salt. I've got a hold on the ebook, looking forward to reading it!

I hope I made my way out of the amusement park. Down 1.6 today. So I'm a half pound below from when this numbers game started 7 days ago. I think it was a mix of reaching a set point and a stall and too much sodium. I have a goal this week of getting under 170. Two pounds in 7 days. I am motivated!

Onward! (Miss you, Pearly!)

I’m baa-aaa-ack!

Loading for a day. I’m up over my window by .8. I’ve been MIA as I’ve had a bad cold and am just now getting human again.

I’ll catch up later from my desktop.

Congrats to ALL!

So happy to "see" you, Pearly! You are the heart and funny bone of this forum. Happy loading!

I'm down another .5, so is my average, oh well. I was too hopeful too soon, rookie mistake with my math.
I've got 15 days left on P2, a few challenges on the social calendar but the fun part will be seeing friends I've missed since December. New body, who dis? :-)

The one thing I love about this round is I'm having the best nights sleep. On average 8+ hours. Last night was an exception since one of my cats decided it was time to practice opening cupboard doors. FYI, she's not very good at it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Happy Monday, Lovelies!
Tracy, thanks for the Wise Ape Tea info. I checked them out and ended up ordering 3 varieties.
Welcome back, Pearly! Catching a cold during your PI is just not fair. Feel better!
It's P2D3 for me, so I'm just enjoying a typical week 1.
Hope everyone has a great day!

meh.
I am still tired from that cold. I guess. Or just old age. I am not a ball of fire lately.
I actually lost a little loading yesterday. I am not sure yet if I am done loading or not today. LOL. I will see how I feel as I go along.

Last round, I only got to 130.8 and could not get past it, so decided to take a PI and come back. I didn't come back until I was back up to 143. Sheesh. So even though I don't really want to come back, I do not want to do that to myself again. My goal is to figure out P4 and I can't do that if I am still dissatisfied with P2 LIW.

So, I'm back for at least 2 weeks. I just need 5-6 pounds gone. I already know I may not be able to do this if I just play bounce a pound the whole time. So here's hoping I have some 'first week" loses this week and get past that set point. THEN I may be inspired to keep going to where I want to be.

I'm so thankful you all are still here!
Onward!

Oh Pearly, those set points are cruel. I finally got past mine (@173-175 lbs) on this round. It's taken almost nine days.

Only down .2 this morning, but really pleased to see the inches disappearing. Two inches each off my waist and hips and I got my chin back! Still have to get new work shoes, I'm clomping around like a little girl wearing her moms high heels...

Thank you for the welcome!

I am kind of sneaking up on P2. I did a sort of P3 load yesterday, with plain yogurt and berries for lunch and a small steak and a tomato for dinner. Oh, and some almond butter on toast for breakfast, which is not P2 or P3 or really anything but needed to both use up the almond butter and get the idea of toast out of my system. I don't own a toaster anymore, so have to broil bread for toast which means I usually have burnt toast. Sort of keeps me honest.

However, I am down 1.4 from yesterday. i have been higher than today's weight for about a week, so I am giving all credit to good old HCG. Today is Phase Two Part Two Very Low Calorie Diet Day 1. P2PIIVLCD1. LOL. I hope.

I will create a new ticker once I get past my last LIW.

It's 28 today and the wind is blowing so windchill is def in the below zero range. Meh. My family in the midwest keeps saying it's almost March, so spring will be here soon. HAH. In Colorado, we got snow in June last year. Winter is just settling in here.

Onward.
