This months loader group is named the Magnolias because spring is just around the corner with the promise of spring beauty and new life. Seems like a good concept to embrace, yes?

May it be a turning point for you as you take charge of your health destiny.

I'll be available for questions and my input will always be based on the original protocol. Y'all can take it from there.

Good luck with your round!

Leez, love the name and sentiment behind Magnolia, March loaders! You are the best coach ever, and we are all fortunate to have you available! Bring it on March loaders!

SO....is this a good place to start chatting abt P3 stuff, Leez?

I get a little foggy on what thread to post different phase stuff, etc.....lol....etc.

Pls advise.

Its best to keep P3 stuff to the thread that you used during your round because most of those posting there are near or in P3 with you. If there is an active group that wants to continue on a thread, that's always an option. I can even rename the thread for you.

You are also welcome to start a P3 thread if you like. There are some personal threads active in the P3 forum, but it would be cool to have a general P3 group thread there. Lovely Losers is also an option for P3 discussion, as that group welcomes people in all stages of the protocol.

This thread is for the new group starting their rounds in March. Some may want to join that are still in P2 from February.

Hello Everyone! Hope your week is off to a lovely start and you're well. Enjoying grape flavored sparkling water on VLCD2 with a loss of 2.6 lbs. From my previous round during P3 and P4 I did not exceed more than 2 pounds of my LIW, so that am chuffed about the stability while eating an array of vegetables, fruits, meats, and dairy. Was especially happy to tolerate legumes including pinto beans, black beans, and peanuts. Looking forward to sharing this round with such a great group of folks. Wishing you a day filled with success and be well

What a wonderful report, Sweet Pea!

Especially that you were able to maintain through P3 & P4.

Sounds like you are off to a great start.

Thank you so much Leez!!! Hope all is well your way

Good luck on this round sweet pea! How long do you expect this round to be. And congrats on your stabilization! That’s always good to hear!

Thank you so much Dubbles, I really appreciate the thoughtful well wishes! I've been haven't checking in everyday, so I hope you've continued to have a good round. I am anticipating a 40 day round. What's next for you? Enjoy a wonder evening!

Hi SweetPea!
Welcome back and congrats on a great P3 and P4!....
Did you manage to maintain within the 2 lbs window?
We seem to be overlapping, as today is my LIW and will be popping over to my P3 thread by the weekend, but I will pop in when I can for some encouragement

Good luck on your round girl!

Hi Sweetpea! (such a cute name) Thanks for well wishes and asking, I'm back from my 2 week PI, still on P2, set to finish 40 day round next week . It's going well. I loaded again for 2 days, this is vlc day#3 (since PI), have lost the load weight from Friday and Saturday, and now onto virgin weight territory. Will see how this ends up. I was hopeful to lose another 10 lbs, and that may be doable if I counted the 4.6 I gained with loading--but I choose not to include that in my actual losses. So as of today, this round has resulted in 24 lbs lost, and I have another 10-11 days if I skip INJECTING every 5th day--but I am having second thoughts about that. I am thinking I might just go straight thru, and do Last Injection Day, next Wednesday, then 72 hours transistion. Going back to P2 has been a little more difficult for me mentally than I expected (P3 was so wonderful). We'll see, depends on if losses continue each day or stall out pretty quickly. Hope you have a great day, and love hearing from you.
