Thread: Lovely losers 2021 - jumping for joy in january!!!

I really struggled a few days and had lower results than I should have had in the first week. Thankfully I'm on my game now and my scale made me happier this morning than it has for days. I sure hope I can be POP the rest of this round. I don't know why sometimes this is harder than others. I've done this diet on and off as needed since 2010 so I'm by no means a newbie. But today feels great and that is promising. I hope all of you are nailing your rounds!

Kar all the best in your round.

CoffeeGirl I hear you. My first week wasn’t great but I keep plugging along and I think my averages are about the same as previous rounds.

Hi everyone! I haven’t commented on this thread yet since I did P2 in December. I’m now on day 17 of P3. I had a steak day on day 2, maintained great until two days ago (Day 14). I had another steak day probably caused by adding in too many almonds too late at night. I had already added in dairy (plain Greek yogurt and a small amount of cheese in salad) with no issue. I added eggs from day one as I ate them in P2. With my day 14 steak day, I only dropped back down to .4 above LIW. Day 15, I had a hard workout. I ate my standard heaps of greens, meats, olives, olive oil, coconut oil with cocoa powder, berries. No nuts or cheese. Day 16, was up another .4. Today, day 17, I’m back at 2.2 over LIW. I was super sore yesterday and still super sore (like hard time moving) today. Since I just did the steak day, I’m planning on trying just more protein and water today. Does this sound like a good idea? I had Greek yogurt with a couple berrries for breakfast. I am literally a poster child for healthy eating so I’m bummed. What else should I consider?

Hi there. I know from past experience for me, on P3 and weight lifting/exercising, it always caused a weight gain. Its likely due to water retention/swelling and lactic acid from the exercise. Drink a lot of water! Pee a lot and hopefully the BM's are moving nicely too for you. I've also had trouble with nuts in the past. Not sure if its causing an issue for you or not but watch them carefully. I'd go with lean protein, veggies and 1/2 an apple. Use salt, garlic powder and little else for your spices to see if that brings the weight back down again. I'm no expert, so take my opinion with that grain of salt I recommended. LOL

ajup2it, thank you for the input! I do think it’s linked to the weight lifting. I did it frequently prior to P2, stopped for P2, and I’ve only done it once a week (so three times total) since entering P3. The first time, I needed a steak day two days after. Today is also two days after - it’s just a coincidence that I had the steak day in between from overdoing almonds. I may also cut back on the coconut oil treats for now.
I was trying to eat more so I stabilized but perhaps I’m now eating too much. I hope more protein and yes lots of water today works. I’m so sore!!!
