Okay, I'm pulling the plug... sadly. I only lost 15 pounds during this 40 day phase 2. I've gone almost 2 weeks with gains & small losses. I've lost less then a pound total in the last 14 days. I'd say my body is done with this. I didn't make it into One-derland - and I am VERY disappointed about that. Next time...
I'm doing my first day on VLCD without HCG today. Starting noon on Saturday, I'll be beginning p3 - Adkins style. I'm am sooooooo hoping I have not become immune
It's working... but WOW! Was this a rough week! I was up and down all week, like a yo-yo, even though I was right on protocol. On day 6 of this 3rd week I had a grand total of a .2 GAIN for the week!!! Yesterday I did my first Apple Day - and it worked. I woke up to a 2.2 loss. So, the week ended with a 2# loss for the week. Wheeeew!! I certainly hope next week is more positive. I have made a vow I will not end this P2 until I reach "one-derland." And I plan to stick to that...
Of course I didn't loose as much in week 2 as in week 1 - but 4.2# in one week is still great! The total since I started Round 1 is 38.8# disgusting pounds GONE!. Averaging over the last 14 days, I've lost .9# per day! What other diet does that??? Especially for an old lady of 65? And the weight is coming off nicely - uniformly all over. I've lost 26.75 ugly inches so far (I measure in 8 places... so it adds up!) But I've lost 6 inches across my butt alone! I'm certainly not saying this diet
I keep being shocked that it is still working!! And so far, this 2nd week of round 2 has been great, unlike the 2nd week of round 1... I'm lovin' this! If it keeps up (and I'm thinkin' it won't... the "stall/gain" week has to kick-in sometime, right?), I will be well into "one-derland" by the end of this round!! Can't wait to see that 1, instead of a 2!!
Yes, I get sick, sick, sick of the same `ol foods - but with results like this, who cares???
Whaaa-hooooo! Lost 9.2 in the first week of this round, and another 1.8 on day 8! I love it!
However, if this round follows the course of my first round - week 2 is rough! So I'll glory in today's weigh loss while I can!
I sure wish I could find, make or buy a salad dress I really like! That would make this diet oh so much easier! BUT! With losses like this, I'll suffer through it!
Round 1 Began Jan 16- P2,3,&4: - 27.8
