Hope your doing ok Micki

Hi Micki,
Thanks this is the first picture I kind of liked and wasn’t embraced to post. I’m doing ok with the diet but the stress of this end of the semester is starting to get to me. There is still so much I have to do and I’m afraid I won’t get it done in time but I will keep trying until the final day. The lack of sleep is killing me lol.
We will be done with our drops on Dec 16th then we’ll do 2 or 3 days of VLCD but I haven’t decided on which yet, I guess I’ll play it by ear when we get there.
You are doing so good on your weight loss! Hey I say try for 10 more and if you don’t make it at least you tried your best and who knows you could surprise yourself.
The hubby is doing great it almost makes me sick lol he has lost 38lbs so far. He looks so good and people are noticing the changes in him. I have lost 21.8 as of this morning. I used regular body wash this morning for the first time during phase 2 so I hope it doesn’t set me back.

Have you tried increasing your protein a little bit so you don’t feel weak? I’ve had to do that from time to time with the hubby. I just gave him a little less veggies when I did to make the 500 calories work.
I’ll check blogs and write mine later today I’m off to take my girls to the Christmas parade.
Hope you have a good weekend!
Sorry I had to break up the message it was too long.

I hope you have a wonderful day

Hi there, yes, it's good that I have confirmation that I'm on the right track. FFF is full fat Fage (Greek yogurt). fff is fat free Fage. FFF is for P3. Some folks do fff on p2. I was up this morning, but I had several new things yesterday... Tomatoes, salsa, onions, strawberries, and truvia. So I'm not sure what was the culprit... I'm worried I can't do any dairy. So today, I eliminated all the new foods except the FFF so I can isolate the issue.

Sounds like you are doing great! 23 pounds would be amazing! Are you planning to do another round?

Micki, about the p4 blog entry... Someone smarter than me figured out if you click on Blog This under the post , it will go to your blog to save. Much easier than what I have been doing...emailing them to myself . Oy!

Hi Micki, have you recovered? I ate a small cookie as I was baking them and got so sick! I'm thinking it was the gluten -- I'd not had any in 5 weeks and it hit me hard. Made me more determined not to do that again. So not worth it!

I'm liking P3. Finally. It's not scary anymore. :-) The key is having P3 treats on hand. With all the high fat, it makes me want a taste of something sweet every now and then. I understand why everyone loves cocoa crack during P3. I add a dash of peppermint extract and it's like having an after-dinner mint. Tonight I had some FFF with strawberries (the second time I've had fruit in P3).

I will be ready for Round 2 P2 in January. Want to get the next 20 off!

Good Morning, my friend,
I was increibly touched by your post and saddenned by the circumstances of your son's death. I visited the web site. He was a fine and loving young man and I am sure, a great source of pride for you and his father. What a tragedy for your family. I hope your memories helped you to find peace. Sending you (((hugs))).
Wish we were close enough to meet! XO XO

Hey, not sure which post you mean. What was the header? I did see a few from someone who is eating whatever and asking lots of questions. Why take the meds if you don't want to follow the plan? I wonder!!!

HI Micki,
Thanks we had a good Thanksgiving. The Hubby and I were doing clinicals at the hospital so we kept really busy. Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and had a wonderful day with your family
