I ended up cutting R3 a little short because I was having a difficult time. I had bought drops from a different supplier than the ones I'd been using before, and they REALLY weren't working for me! I struggled with stalling and very slow losses, and wasn't losing the inches like I had in earlier rounds. Lost only 7 lbs. Very frustrating.
This past P3 was very inconsistent, too. Ended up 5-7 lbs over LDW and just couldn't seem to keep it back down. I gave it a full 3 weeks P3,
Well, I'm ready. I'm starting R3 tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to this. I've done fine with P3 and P4, staying fairly stable within 1-lb or so of LDW -- generally just below LDW, so that was a great thing.
The last few days, I've found myself pinching at that little roll above my waist band. Not happy with this... Then testing the "incentive" items in my closet -- and shoot... the arms are too tight! I'm getting anxious to start seeing changes again!
Okay, I have an interview with one of our VPs tomorrow, and my closet is so slim on clothes that actually fit right now! I put on one of my favorite skirts the other day and it slid right off my hips. Another one that should fit right now has to be repaired before I can wear it (because I squeezed my fat caboose into it when it DIDN'T fit!). I pulled out a suit I hadn't worn in years, and it fits great -- except that I'd forgotten the pants aren't long enough! (At 5'11", that happens to
Okay, I pulled the "Basics" info below from a P3 thread where it was being reposted. I seriously do not know who originally wrote this up, but it has been such a huge help to me that I wanted to re-post it where I can get to it quicker as a reference.
If anyone has info about who wrote this, please do let me know. I'd love to credit it properly! Thanks again to my unknown resource!

P3 Basics:
Find out your calorie limit.
Sat down with my calendar the other night to do some planning. I've looked at the progress I had with R1 and R2, and started looking at my upcoming schedule to figure out where I want to go from here. (It still tickles me that I can actually make plans and have some control over my weight progress--rather than watching it continue to slide ever higher and out of my control!)
This time I'm planning about a month of P3/P4. Will start R3 in March and will do another long round then.
