Thread: Lovely Losers 2021- ON TOP OF IT in October!!

I;m back to work, so will be quick!
Thank you! Every Buddy, for thinking of me and my little sweetie. We are home and soooo glad. I picked her up on Saturday afternoon and she was really, really glad to see me. We spent Sat night, all day Sunday and monday a.m. at my sister's and she was on my lap most of the time. This is my little part feral dog who sits arms' length from me for the last decade. So, she was REALLY glad to see me. She is still a very sick dog, but we will either figure out how to help her or make sure she is comfortable as time goes on. My hope is she remembers I rescued her and does not remember I was the one who left her there. I will not even write the dollar amount I spent for no help at all. Let's just say I maxed out a credit card that I would have thought was plenty. We all make mistakes, but this one was my largest regrets ever. As soon as they said they were not doing surgery I should have picked her up and gone home!!!!

Travel, stress, etc. have me craving things I should not, but I never seem to get around to going after them. All this traveling has made me very careful and not want to actual stop and take time to eat. AT my sister's I just ate what she served and had chili with a few beans, a pastry her neighbor made, potatoes in my veggies, toast with peanut butter, but when I added in my head later, I think I was waaaay under a normal day. This a.m. I hit 124.8. Not a healthy way to lose. MOre lack of volume in my body, I think! LOL Yesterday, I had never got a chance to eat lunch or dinner, jus snacked on some parm chips between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. I had a few tip of the spoons of pb when I got home, but had too much to do to get dogs fed etc. Nothing fits differently, so I will NOT try to stay here. I am healthier at just under 130.

Onward. P

Don't worry. I'll start eating better and wipe out that 124 number quickly and get back to 129 before I know it.

Just want to check because it's been a while! Doing well though kind of let myself go this past weekend. Back on track and will weigh at the end of the week. I find it easier to eat strictly clean that way. At the same time, stabilizing this P4 is not smooth. I may just not fret and do a short round once I get to 160. We'll see. I know my body really likes 160 LOL My brain does not.

I hope everyone is doing well, wherever you are in your round or maintenance!

P. Think the stress and constant on the go is causing you to drop pounds without trying. This winter you will probably slow down a bit and may pick up a few, which you most likely need to do. Glad both girls are back home with you. I know the frustrating feeling of spending money on the dogs to find they really did nothing at all for them. But at least you feel you exhausted all resources, left no stone unturned. Hope she is comfortable and does improve. I'm certain she missed her mama. They are both adorable. Hugs to all three.

I think everyone has had a little bit of a rough weekend. Sunday, I had chili with added spaghetti at the cookoff, a hot dog with fixings, and desserts and beer--not good. Ate on P3 protocol yesterday, and dropped almost a pound this morning, so not bad this morning. But still should a drop to get to back to where I was on Sunday morning. Weight this a.m. was 153.4, only .2 below last dose weight. Oh well, it was pretty much a binge weekend, fun--but shouldn't do those too often, for sure.

I think, mrsstrong, stablizing this winter is going to be a real challenge, for me as well. No way could I do below or even 150. As it cools off, for myself, I really slow down, and love comfort foods. Have got to get this under control before heart of the holiday season. Determined to do it, tho. Have definitely decided NOT to go on trip to Arizona first week in January with some of husband's golf buddies and wives. I barely know the ladies. He understands. I feel like it would be a little weird. I'd rather go on a trip with closer friends, myself. So that frees me up to do a clean up round in January if needed. We'll see.

Will be going to Atlanta mid-November to surprise daughter and son-inlaw with a small 25th wedding anniversary celebration, just for family. They know we are all meeting for a visit, but don't know it is to celebrate their wedding anniversary that will be coming up. So that will be fun. And then back again to Virginia to watch the kids first of December while he surprises her with a trip getaway for the two of them as a gift for actual anniversary. So will be gone quite a bit, with holidays in there too. Probably gonna need that round! Hope everyone is having a good start to their week. Those in p2, those finishing p2, staring p3, and those of us in p4 and trying to find our way throughout it all. We're all just doing the best we can. No judgement at all , really, not from me anyway--I promise on whatever course anyone chooses. I respect everyones choices, wish I had the willpower, or won't power so many of you have. Really! Have a good one!

So happy to hear that Penny is home and everyone seems in good spirits regardless of how they went over the weekend. And my condolences to those grieving.

I have finally found some stability in P2. My fatigue and nausea is clearing up. I still have food aversions but I am managing by eating both fruits, both grissinis, a protein shake at lunch and some processed chicken breast for dinner. I munch on celery throughout the day to keep the fatigue and nausea at bay. I'm so glad I stuck it out and figured out how to stay as much on plan as possible while finding something that worked for me. The processed chicken breast isn't ideal, but I trust that it's better for me in the short term to stick out the longer plan using it than coming off P2 too soon.

P2D35 and I've lost 19.8 lb overall. Skip day tomorrow, then six more injections, so that means only nine more days on P2. I'm so excited to move into P3. I hope to lose about 3 lb more, but we'll see if that's achievable or not.

Morning everyone!
First off I'm happy to hear about Penny but sad that the situation remains the same. But glad that parts over and she can be home where she belongs and is most comfortable.
Sounds like everyone is up & down which is the way this thing goes. Friday night me & hubs went to our favorite mexican place and chowed down on fish tacos & margaritas. Saturday was a huge gain but kept it together Saturday and by Sunday was back on track. Would hate to think I can't be bad sometimes but I feel like if its caught in time these transgressions are forgivable. I'm still on board for a January round as I still had 10-15 pounds to go when I started last January. Seems like a long time ago. I think most of you guys are a round ahead of me but I like to take my time to try to figure out how to stabilize. Spoiler alert: I'm still figuring it out!
