Thread: Lovely Losers 2021- MAKING IT in May!

Starbucks ~ I felt like I was stuck at the 175 point for days too!! I try and tell myself that is when my fat cells are filling up with water and soon they will release it all for a good day on the scale!! Hang in there, I am sure you will see the scale move soon!! What is your goal weight? Could it be that you are getting close to it? I remember the pic you attached, you looked amazing, and fit!! The PI sounds like a good idea for you definatly to celebrate your birthday!! And like you said, it may just jump start your weight loss again!!

Have to try and upload pictures of my 2 babies. Look at and tell me Ozzy doesn't remind you of Winston Churchill! She is the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, but he is the Boston Terrorist. She is so good with him, they play and she lets him annoy the **** out of her, she is such a sweetheart

Sorry, Sophie is sideways--can't seem to change it. And this wasn't the picture I thought I was attaching but I am terrible at this, and I finally went with what I pulled up!

Oh my goodness!! Sooooo CUTE!! I can completely see the resemblance! Such cute pups!! My dog's name is Einstein... I will try and see if I can post a picture of him at some point when I have a bit more time. My daughter likes the name Ivy for our new puppy and I told her that if we call her Ivy... I will have to nickname her "Ivy League", then we will have an Einstein and and Ivy League. Ha!

Yay on losing all the load weight, Dubbles! I know the feeling, having needed to lose the gained weight from my PI! Then I was surprised the losses kept coming! I hope the same will happen for you!

Polly, I thought peanut butter was a P4 food because peanuts are a legume? Enjoy your P3! It is always so exciting.

So hard, Phoebe. Thank God for FaceTime these days. So exciting about the dress almost fitting! And yes, that is my understanding about the PI and what I did.

Hey Karbee! Good luck on P4! Sounds like P3 went really well. If you have continuously been at 2 pounds over LIW, it may help to adjust it higher so you have more wiggle room. Many people stabilize a little higher.

Happy early BD, Charlie! Enjoy!

Rkthin, so good to hear your back is so much better! And close to goal must feel so good considering all that is going on! I am glad your mom is feeling better too.

As for animal names, we named our chicks Hyacinth, Violet, and Gertrude.

I had some Outer Aisle today and I have been burping it the rest of the afternoon with some nausea. Maybe a coincidence but it just did not seem to sit well. I don’t remember that from my PI when I had it. It may have caused weight gain without me knowing it since I couldn’t weigh. I guess we’ll see in the morning. I am also just really tired.

Dubbles, I am like you, crunching those numbers as I get close to the finish line. I could have gone an extra 6 days but didn't due to slower losses this round and wanted to finish during a stall. Do what works for you!

Same weight as yesterday and grateful. I had two eggs\cheese for brekky, an orange, taco salad for lunch, nuts and diced parmesan cheese with olives for a snack, then pork chop and chicken wrap for supper. I need to plug in more veggies. But that means grocery shopping and y'all know how I feel about that.

I'm going to try the fun fage with whipped cream cheese and cocoa powder tonight. Hoping that will keep me out of the peanut butter jar. It is a legume, you all are correct and I need to just stop. Pray for me.

Not dogs, but babies none the less. Lola is in the front, Moxie is chilling in the back. And sideways!!

You look FABULOUS Charlie. But you know exactly where you'd like to be. I definitely understand a planned interruption during your birthday. I actually had a couple of small pieces of birthday cakes during both of my PIs, just didn't go crazy and eat an entire half a cake. Don't think that is exaggeration, when not eating mindfully, I can do that! Yes, it is a mindset! Have a good day!

Pretty, pretty Purr Babies!

Tracy, step away from the PB! I will if you will! It is not your fault I ate the last 2 inches out of a jar, but you did kinda remind me it was there! LOL. Mrs. Strong, You are absolutely right. PB is not on P3 and it’s actually not on P4. It’s on P nothing! I had a bad day. Bad Pearlie. Sit.

The only reason I even had it in the house was I made cookies for the dogs that were supposed to be soft. Turns out myDogs are not that fond of peanut butter cookies. Since they also have pumpkin and carrot—No sweetener, no chocolate chips nothing— I have to admitThey are not very good.

It is too soon yet to add almond butter!

Day 1 P3,I added an avocado to breakfast, a tsp of mayo to tuna salad, had chicken thigh and leg instead of breast, with a couple spoons full of green chile sour cream chip dip as a dip for the chicken. So, basically — added dairy.

I had blackberries for dessert, but I have had berries a time or two in P2 and often in PI. I wait 2 hours after and before eating anything fat to eat fruit, like Suzanne Somers recommended. I include them in my carb count.

Not enough calories yet. Still figuring this all out. I was on P3 eating two weeks ago, but after being on P2 again, I’ve lost track on how to do this! But I was inching up during Transition days and am back down to a reasonable .8 over LDW.

I am still jobhunting, by the way. I have had a contract to do some newsletters for two livestock associations for years. It’s on the side, and I’ve done it when I had full-time jobs and when I was in between. It certainly helps but it’s just a little extra, not a living! I’ve gone eight years without missing a deadline, but sure missed it on Tuesday. Doesn’t count because it wasn’t my fault!

So enjoying all the Furr and Purr pics!

Hang in!!
