Thread: Magnificent Magical & Mighty Lovely Losers Mastering Motivational Mayhem in March

Pearly, my goal is quite similar to yours. 70?! Wow, you're killing it! I strive to be like you both in that fine age and that is the sweetest thing-being the driver. I would have loved that! Thank you for being so kind to others.

My new dose of 125 iu is amazing. Took a nap yesterday, slept til 7 pm (oops), woke up with no hunger and forced myself to eat shrimp and asparagus. Down one lb today, making day 7 and 7 lbs gone including load weight.

Have a fabulous day, y'all!

Rose, I'm with you on not making the big goal, but I was a little too ambitious for a 21 day round. I might could come closer if I do 30 days but I'm not gonna! LOL. I will be happy for every .2 loss for the next 10 days. I am right behind you!

tmott, 7 pounds in 7 days! You ought to embroider that on a belt like the old fairy tale! I hope you keep on going like that, but don't be discouraged if you slow a bit or even have a day or two at even steven. That's a lot to lose in one week, especially when you are already so close to goal. GOOD for you gettting through the hunger puzzle!

After all the folderol of the weekend, I am down .2 and am so pleased! At first I thought TESS was saying I was up .8, as I was at 131.0 yesterday, but it wasn't until I had been on and of the scale three times that I touched the place that tells me how much weight loss/gain that I realized I was DOWN .2 instead of UP .8. I wasn't looking at the whole number, just the decimal. Sigh. And so it goes. I am on Day 13, so almost into Week 3, when I traditionally maaaaaaay lose 2 pounds if I am lucky.

The puppy likes to crawl under my bed but it is a one way hole. Gotta go...

Onward!

Up again today. Maybe sodium. I had fat free deli chicken because it was handy.

Still a difficult round. Breathlessness day and night. Steroid breather gives me bad headache and not sure it’s helping breathing so I’m taking potassium magnesium and Vit C if that helps. Causing anxiety. Maybe my thyroid meds need adjusting. No one knows for sure. Makes me more anxious too. Not consistently taking fluctinase breather because I’m not sure it is causing more anxiety. Will be happy to end round as I think medical/psychological issues are causing more stress. Prob have 5 more days to transition.

Rose, I'm sorry you're having such issues. Breathing issues are way too scary and definitely cause anxiety. I think this diet gives me more anxiety than normal so I wouldn't know how I would cope with that. Hope those 5 days go quickly!

Down 0.4. Really wanting to try a Zevia on p2....I miss em.

@tmott24. Thsnks. Glad your round is going well. I’m back down to 145.4 where I was before the two uptick days. Total loss 8 lbs. had a good nights sleep do that was encouraging.

Rose, a good night's sleep certainly helps! I'm so sorry you are having a hard time this round. You are a brave little Rose to continue! Glad you had a DOWN. That will help with anxiety a little.

Tmott, Why can't you have Zevia sodas? I would think they were fine in P2. Diet sodas were not a thing in the 50's so Dr. S would not have known about them to include.

As for me (AFM) HOLY SMOKES AND HALLAYLOOYA! I'm down .8 today, which puts me squarely on 130.0. I have 9 days left and will certainly not make 125 but Oh Well. If I can get another pound or two, I'm thrilled. Heck, I'm thrilled already.

I just hope I don't go up 4 pounds overnight like I did last time I tried this. I think all of the things we tried to figure out that caused that, it was too low a dose for too long. I was doing 100 for some reason, and all I did was starve off 8 pounds until my body said Oh, no you dinnit!

But it haunts me. LOL.

I'm enjoying berries again. Not strictly on 2.0 but I'm still far under my carb count so --nyahhh. i've had them on my chopped greens salad with 2 oz of either shredded chicken or extra lean ground beef, instead of vinegars. Makes the salad moist and gives a kick of sweet. Love it!

Onward. May you all have a .8 loss tomorrow or MORE!

Glad y'all had good losses! I had half a Zevia last night....didn't affect anything. Lost 0.8. I just try to be super strict on p2. I did have a big *** cheating dream tho and woke up like oh no!

Hey gig, thanks for the shout out!

Down .4 today, into the 129's. Big sigh of relief.

I was hungry a lot yesterday, so will be glad when this is over. Sheesh. I could not get enough chopped salad into my mouth fast enough at lunch, and at supper time I had to have a nonfat 4 ounce Activa yogurt, which I have been avoiding, in order to cook dinner. I was sooooo hungry starting at 4 o'clock. I totted up my carbs and protein and was still within range, but did NOT like that anxious/hungry thing. Skip a dose? Not sure. We wil see how today goes.

6 days to go after today, plus 3 transitional days, then finally ---- p3!

On the home front, I have a teething puppy who has left my arms and hands covered in bandaids. She has teeth like a crocodile and is mouthing everything she can reach, especially my fingers. So funny and sweet tho. My other Mama dog slipped a disk in her neck and has been miserable. No wonder she has been so grouchy and does not want the puppy jumping on her or bumping into her. So it is kind of a relay race to get them in and out and fed without them actually being together. LOL.

Can I do VLCD for NINE more days? Ugh. Right this moment, IDK. Too late to do a skip day because I already dosed. But this is getting harder. Ordered groceries for the next 10 days until next paycheck, tho, so that's all that will be inthe house to eat.

Onward! HO!
