I haven't started drinking but I did not inject and won't even try to focus on a protocol right now. I'll lurk around because this has been such a great tool for me over the past few months and I wanted to thank all of the Lovelies that have been such a tremendous source of inspiration, encouragement and laughter!

A million hugs!

I'm so sorry! I've had to deal with not one, but two, nasty exes and it's not fun - at all. Just take care of you. You've been there for your son and anyone with a brain will see that you are and should have sole custody. We've got you over here! {{{HUGS}}}

I almost caved today. What the hell?!? It's only VLCD3 and down 4.2 total. Stress from the ex and him being a general douchebag and then procrastinating about getting a passport and realizing I wouldn't get it in time (long story). So Mexico is postponed which might be a blessing in disguise as it's 3 weeks after a San Fran trip and a month before a move...so one less thing to cram into the schedule I suppose. Is there ever a good time to do HCG??? I swear this no drinking thing is tough. I'm right there with you, Charlie. When the world is caving in on me, the first thing I want to do is have a drink. I can also be a smoker if I want to, but that's just another bad habit to add to the list. I took the afternoon off of work because it was just a total craptastic day and I won't get any real work done. I'm hoping this time at home relaxing, music, tea, this forum, etc. will help get my mind back in the right place. One day at a time...sometimes it's one hour.

The 2.0 is a bit tricky but I think I got the hang of it. However, how did I manage to eat 10 ozs. of chicken breast at lunch and exhaust most of my protein calories?? DOH!!! I had three egg whites and spinach for breakfast, and then used a chicken breast in the fridge (weighed first but obvs didn't think it through) for chili. Now I have about 60 protein calories to play with and I was really hoping I could have some tuna, cucumber, red pepper for dinner. Is it a sin to go just a wee bit over your daily protein calories? Please someone say it's okay. lol Also MCT oil arrived! So yeah for MCT mayo! I think I saw a spicy Mayo recipe on here somewhere and then Christy's recipe. I'd like to make both but I'll have to track them down. Who would have thought MCT mayo and this forum would be the highlights of my day?

Hang in there all. Keep going.

P.S. Feel better Christy. Sorry you're having to deal with all these annoyances. You're a strong lady and if anyone can kick butt, it's YOU. xoxo

I have done two rounds before...lost 25 lbs in 2010 and then another 35 lbs in 2012.

I tried KETO last fall and it backfired big time. Going back to my tried and true...

Can't wait to get it off.

Currently: size 12, 167, 37 in weight.
Goal: size 6, 139, < 30 in waist
Hoping to hit goal by March 1st.

I will be loading on Sat and Sunday and starting on Jan 16th.

Also- anyone else doing exercise along with? I will add an additional 250 calories a day for runs and pilates 4 times a week. GODD LUCK!

Welcome! (Sorry I'm slow to reply)

Way to go losing what you have already. Your name, ReunionReady, is that upcoming or already took place? I lost my weight before I turned 50--as a gift to myself. Then when we had a reunion, I had already lost (and kept off) the weight. Yay.

Have fun loading!

Thanks, Carry! Yes, you can opt to just get one month to try. They tend to sell out their tea pkg for the month pretty quickly so it's good to get on their waiting list for the next month if they are out. I still have a ton of tea I got in December and yesterday just received January's. I am in LOVE with this company and their superb expertise in selecting the best tasting teas. I think they have an all herbal box now or an all black tea box. But yeah, so a little more research and see what you think. You can cancel a longer subscription at any time without penalty. It's just $25 a month for four different teas (50-60 cups total in one monthly order). Let me know if you decide to do it and we can talk tea!

I'm going to try it, Natalie. Order comes Saturday, I think. Looks like you can order the orange creme brule. Yum. I wish I could have added it to the one order when joining.

Aw, Xexymess. I'm so sorry. Prayers for your situation. A million+ hugs back.

You'll have to let me know how you like it! I've got a kettle and a little glass teapot I use frequently. I have to remember not to drink the medium caffeine teas after 4pm though or I can't sleep!So glad you're trying it. Now we talk specific tea! P.S. You can always add orange creme later. I don't think they'll sell out of that one...or else I hope not, cause I need more!

This is a great idea, Christy! Which store do you get the Premier Protein?

Hang in there, Xexymess!

Randi, so glad to hear 3.0 is working for you. I’m loading today and tomorrow. Will join you shortly and I can’t wat!

I have usually used cashew milk or fat free half and half during P2. Since my first round I’ve been able to do without sweetener as long as I have milk/cream. Chirsty’s additives are great, especially if you need that sweetness.
