Cool, Dubs! Only 7 carbs per 2 tbsp, with 2 of fiber. That's pretty legit. I was NOT eating No-Sugar Added Jif. I was eating bought for the dogs creamy Skippy. There is an unopened, family sized Super Chunk Skippy jar in the back of the pantry shelf somewhere. Ooops. Did I say that? P
You are a hoot!. I think the no sugar Jiff is a fairly new product. Surprised your dogs don't like pnut butter--mine LOVE it, like their mama!Quote:

I was down .6 today to 152.4. Last round I was at 149 so I’m tracking a bit different. I keep my logs. I welcome the PI soon so I can mentally reset and finish strong.
All of the fur baby photos are precious. I love seeing them [emoji3531]

Hello and good Thursday morning...boy are these days going by fast!! Zoom zoom!!
Tracy ~ I also have 2 kitties.... I'm going to try and post their picture also...my tabby looks so much like yours!
All this talk about pb....Oh boy do I love peanut butter! I try to buy the all natural peanut butter (Costco) but noboy here eats it except for me... Skippy for the rest of the family. Ohh....skippy pb on a toasted english muffin....LOVE! Okay, I better just STOP!!
Advice?? I am debating now if I should do a PI or just go straight into P3. I only bought a 40 day dose round of hcg inj. so my choices are 1.) Stay the course for about 35-36 days (I'd like to have at least a week on P# before going out of town *always have stomach issue at the beginning of P3) or 2.) start a PI on day 31 (after 3 days of no dosing which should give me at least 13 more days of doses) and come back after the wedding on day 15 and complete the round then.... which may take off any additional weight gained during the week of the wedding...?? If I just go straight through this round and end it at the end of this month, I will plan to do another round in July, July 4th load day, and try and get the rest of the weight off of me then.... gahhhh.... decisions decisions!
Well today I was down another .9! Boy, I sure do love P2 and losing!! at 170.1 today... so close to waving bye bye to the 170's and hello 160's!! I am running behind, have a hair appointment at 10:00, will check back later.
P3 Day 9
164.4
I have no idea why I am down. I assume I am eating enough or I would not lose weight. I do know that I have been around 160 for years and maybe my body is just going there on its own. I am down 2 pounds from LDW but assume I do not need a steak day! LOL
Feeling better but felt so nauseated most of the evening. The Outer Aisle did not cause a gain and maybe I'll have it again someday. Maybe my digestion was just off yesterday. That leaves 3 foods to test that I had on my trip: Keto granola, lupin spread, and pork rinds. Maybe salami. It is so weird to be gaining then and losing now. I just don't get it. One of these foods has to be the culprit. If not, then what gives? I almost want it to be something or I have no control whatsoever. I may not do another round in that case because I'd be afraid to mess with a good thing!
I am with Charlie!!! Tracy, do you like almond butter? So good and P3!
Beautiful cats!! Will post mine later.
Polly, have almond butter too in a few days. Forget the bad day and move on. But mmm, if you had your dog cookies, that worries me LOL
Do you write for beef magazine?
And you, and you, and you, almond butter for everyone! On me! I hate PB!
Dubbles, rooting for you! Great loss into virgin weight territory! Must feel awesome! I think going off protocol with allowed foods is safer than off P foods. Extra protein has not caused problems for me and I do it a few times during P2.
Phoebe, I'd say keep going!
I have two of the pickiest eaters on earth. They will eat something new like it is manna from heaven ---three times. I go out and buy a lot of whatever it is, bring it home and proudly present it and they look at me, sayl Dogs don't eat THAT! and walk away. It can sit for a week and they will walk around it leaving three feet between them and it. This has happened with every treat I have ever purchased or made. It has happened to every dog food. For a while there, they LURVED tortilla chips, until I bought a bag just for them during P2. I happily tried to hand them one and they just rolled their eyes and shook their little heads. Walked away.Quote:

I think I would do the PI so you can really enjoy the wedding then come back and finish strong. Get a great compression garment to help the dress zip and enjoy the reception!! It’s what I’m going to do for my birthday and I know If I gain a few lbs they will come off again. Protocol isn’t hard for me so I can jump back in just fine. You also don’t want stomach issues at the wedding!!Quote:

Off to Google outer aisle. And keto granola, I see it all over. Someone mentioned Purely Elizabeth so I got some of that. I also see a bunch of gluten free crackers and think gluten give me an upset stomach so I got some of those. It could all be in my head too.Quote:

Ok let me make one thing clear.
I did not eat the dog cookies!
Since all the ingredients are regular human food, I nibbled a little piece off of one from the first batch to see what they tasted like out of curiosity.
Bleh. Tasted British.
Maybe that’s why they call their cookies biscuits!

Enough about my dogs. Sorry.Quote:

Phoebe, I'm not going to advise one way or the other about the PI or official p3. Are you on injections? If not, then you could take your hcg last two days of vacay -- wedding and reception and load, come home and get any gains from trip off. Writing that, if me, I would probably expect a gain from a trip with big event like that, and would want to come home and at least do another 10-12 days of P2, if only to get any gains off and get reset for healthier eating. You'll figure it out. Dress, Charlie/Starbucks is right, if dress is almost there, but just a bit iffy, then have a Spanx on hand! Ha!
Heh Charlie, you enjoy that birthday with BF and your Dad! Will have to try the almond butter next P3, which isn't too far off! Thanks for the visual!
Gotta get back to work now, washing all cushions on back patio area. Summer's comin!
What are you supposed to do if you lose more then 2 lbs in P3? I know a steak day if you gain but what do you do if you lose?? Cheesecake day, Ice cream day, donut day? LolQuote:
