Just finished my first week of P3 and wow was it a doozy. I started off gaining over 2lbs and had a steak day that set me back on track. I'm eating lots of proteins, vegetables, and high fat items while trying to stay away from starches and sugars. I was reading that in the first week of P3 is when your weight will fluctuate while it finds a balance. Hopefully I'll find a balance too. I'm down -2.5lbs from my original weigh-in and also another -2inches as well. I've been a bit leery of losing weight
P3 has been pure heaven eating lots of meat, eggs, adding dairy in, and still losing weight! I did have a steak day this week and believe it helped me a lot of stabilizing. I have been able to eat out successfully without overindulging and staying away from starches and sugar. I keep stevia packets in my purse, and plan to order some more stevia drops soon. I wanted to do another round immediately afterwards but I have a wedding to go to and will be postponing until after wedding. Heck, I might
I'm finished with my first round, minus P3/P4 and here are my final stats:

BMI: 46.7---------------44.7
Body Fat: 29.6----------28.7
Neck: 15------------------14
Bust: 49.5----------------46.5

Hips: 54.5-----------------51.5

Even with falling off the band wagon to good wine, I'm happy to be moving into P3. These past 40 days has been filled with mental realizations, and a great journey towards becoming a healthier me. I'm glad to have had so much great support here on the forums, as well as a few family members, and I look forward to more rounds in the future. Hopefully, I can plan a vacation soon after my second round so I can see some of my family.
After my first 72 hours of getting hCG out of my system,
I'm getting down to the scrapings of the bottle and find myself nervous yet so excited for P2 to finally come to a close. It signifies the end of my journey, and time for me to reflect on multiple areas of my life. Such as, what are my new short term goals to meet my long term goal? How will I change my life from here? How will this affect my family and those around me? And most of all, how will it affect my emotional health and well being?
I've been very happy with my results and
