Amino acids are what allows the body to rebuild and replace cells that have reached thier end of life . They wont go unless it seems safe.

We only need free fatty acids and amino acids. glucose is optional

you are very welcome

How much more weight did you lose after your LDW?
I'm doing well. Finally made the 20lb mark. 7 days to go.
Can't wait for P3 but still scared at the same time.
Since P3 is not really vegetarian friendly, what will you be eating?

I lost about .8 lbs after last dose. That's it. If I gain tomorrow, I may do a Fage day.
You reached the 20 lbs mark? Awesome job!
Just think; losing 20 lbs in 5 weeks!
Oh, there are things for vegetarians on P3. Most options maybe rouge, but they can work.
For example I plan to use: Eggs, Tuna, Protein Shakes, Greek Yogurt and Other Dairies,
Soy Protein Meat-less products.
I changed what I ate today. I pretty much took it down to a P2 day, but doubled servings. Also added the olive oil and cream of mushroom soup for dinner. I had got sick or something today. I felt nauseous this late afternoon and had some diarrhea. This was before the COM soup. Weird.... I just don't know what to expect from day to day.

Hey Liss. I am on Day 2 today. I gained 1.2 from yesterday. Which is no surprise cause I had around 1160 calories yesterday. I did not want to use my LDW to stabilize, but the weight I was when on the day I started P3. Yesterday my stomach was growling like crazy and I would eat whenever I thought it was hungry.

Today is different. Not really any growling. Don't feel really all that hungry. I've only had a protein shake and about 6 strawberries so far today (about 166 calories). Yesterday close to this time I had already consumed over 700 calories. I figured since I gained 1.2 I would take it down a notch and not add so much so soon. Just do like a double P2 day and add a little olive oil to saute my veges.

Just have to take it one day at a time. I don't know what each day will bring. I have to remember not to lessen my calories because of weight gain. I feel good though. I have a blog for my P3 journey/menu.

What about you? Any more losses? How are you feeling?

Hmm, it's probably the inactivity for me too. Yes, I know it can get better.

Hey, I don't blame you. I'd do an apple day too. And I know what you mean,
I would not have the motivation to keep going on this if I was not having any
losses either. Heck, I don't feel all that motivated even right now with the little losses
I've been having. Diet's too hard to sacrifice for nothing. But I keep going, mainly cause
like you I wanted to break into the 50's (155) when I start P3. Right now I am 158.8, but would like to get lower in the 150's to keep room for fluctuations (if you know what I mean).

Are you excited about P3? I used to be, but not so much now. I've heard we should ease our way into it.

Concerning your buttocks area, have you tried doing a search about this issue? Here on the forum or on google. There are probably others who have or have had this issue that may have found solutions/help.

Yeah, I need to do some training too. I mean I love the weight loss and everything, but don't want to jack my body up. I have really been contemplating quitting P2 early. Since I started my second bottle of drops, I've been feeling hungry or something. I felt so sick to my stomach today. I was so close to the verge of vomiting, but I stuck it out.

Can we lose weight in P4?

I have not had a problem with mood much. No!! I take that back. Yes, I forgot,I do get irritable off and on for no apparent reason. I think it's due to a strong desire to 'eat'.
I hate eggs now. They make me feel like puking. Yuck! Spinach is bleh too! I forced myself to eat both today. Had nothing else to really eat.

Hang in there girl. We're almost there!

Yeah, we got to keep trugging along. Don't feel too bad about your skin. I felt my legs last night and was horrified! I could hardly feel any muscles. When I tried to flex my leg muscles, They were not that hard. They felt kind of soft. I felt so concerned and wanted to quit this diet. I have never had that happen before, even when I was more fat and sedentary. My leg was smaller in general too.

I have decided to stick it out till P4 but do some leg squats or something. What do you think? My arms seemed fine though.
I had a 0.6 lbs gain today. It could be the new protein powder I've been taking, or because I was out yesterday in the heat sweating.

...Sign......

Hey Liss! I am so happy for you. It's good to hear that you stuck through this too. Good that you only had 1 round to do (I have another). Hoooray!!!

I am doing really good. My stomach has been growling in the mornings lately. I have like until 2 weeks until I start P3. If I could at least lose 4 more pounds by the time I get to P3 (which would put me at 155, I'd be soooo overjoyed). TOM didn't mess things up for me, loss was still really good. I had went 7 days without a BM. Finally went. Didn't feel stopped up, neither did I have better or worse weight loss. But I know that still is probably not good. I am thrilled!

Congrats to us both!!

How you doing Liss?

Hi! Saw you in the "newbie" forum...good luck to you! :-)
