Lovely Losers 2020 - OBTAINING in October!!

**t1ghtwad** · October 9th, 2020, 07:10 PM

Today did NOT go as planned! I totally ate so much that cannot be described as “clean”! Yet all of it was perfectly acceptable for fat loading. I am so stuffed, and cannot believe I ate all of that stuff. Just started thinking of things I wanted and had the ingredients for, and decided “why not?”. Any weight gain will come right back off, and at least I won’t be hungry before the hcg kicks in...

Sounds like it DID go as planned! OK so it wasn't perfectly clean. Oh well! You are totally supposed to enjoy loading.

I live in the lower mountains of Northern California, USA. Lots of fires, so when we have a “severe fire weather event” forecasted, they turn off our power to try to prevent new fires. Then they don’t turn it back on until they inspect all the lines for possible damage from the winds. Last year it would be 4-5 days each time. This year they have it down to 3 days.

We were just notified of another possible shutoff Sunday-Tuesday! Of course, All of the freezers will be full from the meat sale! Hopefully my new meat and freshly prepped grilled chicken will have time to be deeply frozen before they turn it off!!! I will be buying less than planned, to save room to freeze extra jugs of ice for the 2 refrigerators. Our new generator has not been delivered yet.

Ohhh I can so so relate.... at least get forwarned.... ours is unfortunately not due to natural diasters but a corrupt government ....but its bad enough living through covid than still have this as well

in SA we get a nice italluan Pasata (a bottled tomato sauce) that isjust crushed tomatoes but perhaps you can make your own homw made tomato sauce and freeze... you can also do P2 friendly fruit sorbets? a nice tomato soup will freeze well... my asparagus soup from yesterday will freeze well when blitzed... that could help to have a few fresh produced meals at hand

All of the best.. stay strong!

Happy weekend everyone!

We have had devastating fires here too (Oregon).

My total loss this week is 5# from P2 Day 2 (forgot to weigh until then LOL or I was in denial). I call it good! Still adjusting my drops but yesterday was mostly bliss so I am on the right track. Just some hunger in the evening before bed. Energy is good though.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

P2 vlcd7 -1.0 total 8.0#

I’m happy with that. I’m hoping this keeps up. I don’t think I had much water weight to lose so interested to see how it pans out. My jeans are already smaller and I feel lighter. I’m down to the weight I was when I gave birth to my son. I gained 3 pounds that pregnancy. So I’m getting close to weight before he was born

I gained 30 pounds after he was born... haha.

Rainy cold Saturday here.

I’m in Oregon too and those fires were no joke. Awful.

I was 150.6 today so I’m losing weight on P3 and have no idea why. I’ll eat a bit more today. I even had prepare steak strips and chicken from Costco And some prepackaged cheese crackers that had rice and bran in them. I would say I’m stabilized on the lower end of my LDW.

I eat almond butter as a treat and drink a ton of half and half, frothed. Lots of cheese and salads. So to s of fat but no starches or sugar. Need to calculate what day I’m on in P3.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I was just a bit surprised at how swollen I was with fluid this morning. I was up 3 pounds after 1 day of loading, and by last night I was over-stuffed, and the fluid retention was very noticeable to the point that both legs were swelled up above the knees. They felt weird. I took extra potassium along with a water pill, but I can’t take an extra one, so it will just take time and lots of home made lemon water to flush it out. I learned from experience to up my rx potassium whenever I up my fluid intake on this diet, and my doctor even has the prescription written as “up to” 60iu per day. This weekend I will need the max as I pee all day and night

Our meat sale was a total BUST! I was so disappointed that everything was perfect EXCEPT THE CHICKEN BREASTS. That was all I was buying, and the butcher knew this, but didn’t bother telling me during our umpteen discussions about it that it would be processes with extra solution, quick frozen, in a bag chicken. Sugar in the solution... I can’t eat it! $1.39/lb doesn’t matter. It could be free, and I wouldn’t take it right now.

I passed up chicken last week because of this sale, and now I have nothing to bbq today. This is my prep day, and hubby was going to man the grill to show his support. We are thawing the last 10 pounds of chicken from the freezer now, but will have to cook them tomorrow, and then try to find a reasonable deal on some breasts when I am in the valley for my dentist appointment Monday... drooling all over the store if they actually get me numb

.

Well, off to cook my first VLC meal. I have 10 pre-portioned shrimp servings, so I will “sauté” one with arugula, Bragg’s Aminos, and a bit of green onion added at the end.

Sugar in chicken? Never heard of that.

Well done you are doing great and happy to hear the dose seems to be settling... keep it up!

Weight dropped to 158 this morning and that ups my average loss to .4/day. That's good perspective for me. I'm doing all right with this after all.

Came down with a cold, I think, so lying low. Put some turmeric in my lemon-garlic scallops with steamed cabbage/onion/apple, and willing it to heal the crud. Not 100% sure scallops are allowable, but I'm considering them a white fish and seem to be doing OK with them.

Happy Sunday, all!

Dear Miss M,
Gotta say I love your screen name. One of my fav albums.

And with a Maggie on this thread, it's kind of a musical group! (Maggie Mae, Rod Stewart :-)

Everyone seems to be doing well and it's nice to see people starting P2 around the same time as me and at around the same weight. I look forward to tracking all of your progress.

I'm R2P2D2 and down .6LB. I was in P3 and P4 for 3 weeks each before starting this round. Didn't gain anything in P1 so concerned I didn't get enough fat in to tide me over. Kind of hungry but the HCG sense of well-being has already kicked in.

8.2 pound loading gain! But it will fall back off quickly...
