I was up another +0.2 this morning- I feel like this is because I weighed so late in the day yesterday. It is not a big gain but I really was expecting to see a decent loss after correcting my eating.
I am leaving for my vacation tomorrow morning! The first leg should not be to bad as far as temptation goes because I will be visiting my best friend in NH who I talked into doing HCG and is also in P3. It was kinda funny how that worked out, I don't think I would be able to pass up all the delicious bakeries in Boston if she wasn't on my side! The second leg of my trip puts me in Florida visiting my parents, I will be on my third week of P3 by then, my parents eat pretty healthy, especially my mom who is a high protein and high fat person just by nature.
I bought some Larabars and nut packets for airport snacks- it will be weird not traveling with a big bag a candy to get me through the take off gitters.
I am worried about going so long with out weighing, especially since I wont be leaving with a very accurate weight to go from-I am working an over night then getting home and going straight to the airport. Dont know how often I will be updating so happy losing everyone!

P3D10-12
P3D10 -1 was so happy to see that after a day of straight P3 eating!
P3D11 +0.6 I wasn't to bad on the bar crawl until my drunken weakness came into play- McDonald french fries.. I just had a small but I can never resist them after a night of drinking.
P3D12 +0.6 I should have been good after the previous day gain but work was a crazy stressful day with no lunch break so I was left to eat the only thing laying around, a bagel and cream cheese one of the doctors had brought in for his team. I know after one cheat I should have been good but I was meeting friends for dinner after work and they all wanted Mexican. Once I cheat once I have the logic of: Oh well I am probably already going to have a gain so might as well eat yummy stuff. I split a plate with a friend so I had 1.5 chicken taco's, and about 2 spoonfuls of beans and rice. Towards the end of the night I started having a ragging soar throat, what makes that feel better then fresh baked brownies! I was really bad so I felt like I got off easy with only the 0.6. I am hoping my day of P3 will reverse the damage like it did last time! I am still 2.4 below LDW

R2P3D9
Down -0.4 today, I know that point is to stabilize but I cant help being excited that the scale keeps getting closer to my lowest weight, I am only 0.2 away! I am not trying to loose I have been eating straight P3 but I wont complain about getting to eat things I love and getting rewarded for it!
Breakfast was strawberries, blackberries, cottage cheese, and whipped cream.
Snack: an atkins brownie nut bar
Lunch: Panerea broccoli cheddar soup and thai chicken salad-with the peanuts and crunchy noodles removed. Dinner- Mediterranean chicken salad, and 2 rum and diet cokes.
I am the happiest that I can be social and do dinner out with friends again! Even happier that I bought 3 new pairs of size 6 pants in preparation for my vacation. I have my love of shopping back again- great me for me, bad for my wallet!

I added in greek yogurt for breakfast on Monday with fresh strawberries, unsweetened shredded coconut, and walnuts-delish! I never got to add greek yogurt in last round so I was a little nervous about it. For dessert I made some whip cream with stevia to have with my strawberries and blackberries. -0.2! I just love P3-getting to eat all of this stuff that feels like cheating while still having little losses!
Tuesday for breakfast I tried cottage cheese mixed with some whipped cream strawberries and blackberries. It was so yummy! Finding cottage cheese that doesn't have a lot of starch additives is very difficult- gotta read those labels!
I didnt get home from work until after 10 and then ate dinner, a meatloaf I had made in p2 with some sauteed green beans. I was worried about eating so late, plus it being beef which I am a little sensitive to, and there was a little melba toast in it. But all in all guess it was fine, because today I was exactly the same as I was yesterday! 0 Oh and I coated the meatloaf in cheddar cheese!
Yesterday I added cottage cheese and an Atkins endulge bar.. hmm what to add today, maybe turkey bacon?
I do have to ask where a lot of bloggies have gone to? Even if you gave up on HCG I hope you havent given up on your goals!

Return from 3 day birthday shenanigans
So I am back after my crazy birthday weekend! A lot of cheating went down.... mostly with beverages, I wasn't to awful about the food until it was 4am and we ended up at stake and shake. I had been having very small gains +0.4, +0.2, and +0.6 the day after my big birthday party. I got a little too comfortable on Saturday and went to an outdoor food festival, I feel like the funnel cake fries and strawberry shortcake were probably my downfall. On Sunday I was up +2 and in the danger zone! I was only 0.4 over LDW but that was 160.. the number I don't want to be in anymore.
Sunday I ate mostly P3.. Surprise today -2.4!! Back in the safe zone but I really have to clean my act up. I think getting a full nights rest for the first time was also pretty helpful. I added in Greek yogurt today so we will see how that goes, I never got to adding that in last p3.

P2 round 2 finally comming to a close!
Its my last VLCD!! I am doing a happy dance because this last round has been a true struggle for me. Thank you for all the support!
The day before my LDW everyone at work ordered a huge spread of Indian food and I just couldn't resist so I had +0.8 gain on my LDW (160.2). I lost -1.4 on the morning of my first day of no drops and -1.2 today. This is fitting because it puts me right back at my lowest weight (157.6). I dont really like the idea of using 160 as my LDW so I will call that the danger zone and try to keep myself in the 150's. My original goal was to be 150... I will gladly take 157.6. I feel excellent about how I look! I was trying on shorts yesterday and needed a size 7 in juniors! This is the size I was senior year of high school!
Round 2 summary: Last day of round 1 P3 165.4 up to 171 after load, total loss 7.8- not excellent but this was a short round filled with set backs so no complaints. I am thinking, make that hoping, that I am done with HCG unless a correction round is ever needed. I am also excited to add body pump back into my routine, my first round I didn't feel like I could really see the changes my body made until I started working out and toning.
I love P3 so I am so excited, a little nervous because my birthday party is on Friday and it will only be my 3rd day of P3.. the plan is to go out to a seafood restaurant where I will order garlic scallops and try to stick to rum and diet coke as my drink. I am already foreseeing lots of shots and yummy drinks being purchased for me so I am really glad that I am currently 2.6 below LDW!

VLCD 19 Thats what I am talking about!
-2.8!! There is the true motivation I need to trudge on through this, only 2 more days of drops left! This is my lowest weight so far for this round so I am not feeling too bad about my little interruption. But I do have to admit that I didn't exactly follow protocol yesterday, I had a grapefruit for breakfast, a double serving a chicken for lunch with ketchup. When I got home from work I got a call to meet a boy I like out so I jumped in the shower and ran out the door with an apple pie Larabar (dates, apples, walnuts, and almonds) in hand. At the bar I had 2 rum and diets and called it dinner. Now I cant recommend this for everyone but every time I have rum and diet coke I almost always have a large loss the next day!
My birthday party is next Friday so I have to be in P3 for that, I will only be in my 3rd day of P3 for my birthday which is not the best because I know there will probably be some cheating!

VLCD18
-0.2 not much but I am back on track so I will take it! I went to the doctors today and it was good to see that their scale said almost exactly the same as mine this morning! I always worry about that because in the past I have always felt like the doctors scale was much higher.

VLCD 17... again
So I am officially back on track, I feel like this should be exciting but I really have lost most of my desire to do this right now. I hate admitting this, but your head really has to be in this to make it work. I know its worth it, I know the results make me feel amazing, and I also know I just have to make it through 6 more days!
+0.6 I did a mini load yesterday since I had been off the drops for several days.

unplanned interuption
So when we last chatted I had four days of pretty good losses.. things were going great! I ran out of drops on Friday- only had enough for 1.5 doses, I called healthremedies and they dropped a bottle in the mail on that morning. The mail is normally very fast and sometimes only takes a day so I opted not to spring for the next day shipping- Big mistake!
VLCD 16 (6/4) I had a -1.2 loss, no drops ate VLCD throughout the day but dinner was a girls night out. My friend ordered me a Mojito because she knew they were my favorite, I felt a little guilty about it but was thinking maybe since I didn't have a full day of drops the day before there were be less in my system to cause a problem? I got week and had a couple pieces of bread with humus and a bite of my friends cake. Latter we met up with another group of friends where free shots became part of the equation. I was having a great time with close friends and cute boys! Until the next day that is when I had a +1 gain. I ate VLCD for "breakfast" and lunch, I met my friend for a movie after work and decided that I have been at the dieting thing since April and I want popcorn! I had a small popcorn at the movies and that was dinner, I made the decision that I am off drops and I am going to use this time to give myself a mental break from obsessing about food 24/7. I still weighed the next day, -0.2. That would have been VLCD 18 but that will be a do over day, I ate very poorly... part of me wanted to go crazy and eat all of the things I was missing but even though I wasn't supposed to be stressing about food and weight loss I couldn't get it out of my head! It also doesn't help that in my carelessness I forgot to take my birth control 3 days in a row and I am now having another period!
I have clearly not been in this round from the beginning, I thought about just calling it but I dont want to give up, and I love the way I feel in my own skin again! I was up +1.2 today which is depressing but just the kick in the pants that I needed to get back on point. My new bottle finally came today and I took my drops this morning. I am going to count today as VLCD 16 and go from there... It is kinda weird since I am only doing 23 days, but I cant do any longer because I have a vacation coming up that I need to stabilize for. Oh well back on the horse!

Multiple day update VLCD 11-15
VLCD 11 & 12 Yesterday I had -0.6 loss! I was happy that the stress and antibiotics didn't affect my weight loss but today was a +0.2 gain :( I feel like the antibiotics are fully on-board now, I feel nauseous and just kinda gross. I have also been putting ointment on my wounds so maybe that hasn't helped either.
I have been waking up all week feeling bloated in the mornings, even my ring that is normally loose is imprinted on my hand. Is it just the heat, am I not drinking enough water?
VLCD 13 Down -0.2.. its not much but its something! The week has been horrible for weight loss but there is really nothing I can do about it until I am off antibiotics and the inflammation goes down. I have been bouncing around the 161's for the last six day.. I want to be in the 150's!!
VLCD 14 I had a -1.2 loss today! The antibiotics are really upsetting my stomach, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was going to vomit. The inflammation in my hands is down so I think that has helped with getting me back on the weight loss train. I had a long day of orientation today, I was so sick to my stomach that I ate a small blueberry muffin in the attempts to settle it. I don't eat my melba so hopefully a little carbs wont be too disastrous!
It is so hard to eat protein and veggies when your stomach is upset and all you want it toast and jelly! I had egg whites with spinach for lunch because I just couldn't stomach anymore chicken. Oh well just 1.5 more days of antibiotics and hopefully things should be back to normal!
VLCD 15 -0.8 let the good times roll! I took my last dose of antibiotics this morning, so glad to be done with those! I am also glad the small muffin didn't seem to effect me, I only have 8 VLC Days left so I need to continue with good losses to be closer to my goal. I set my goal at 150, I am at 159 today so I am a little doubtful that I will hit that goal but I will be pretty close to it! I am really happy with how I look now so losing a little more would be great but its not the end of the world if I don't get to goal.
Of course I ran out of drops and didn't really realize it till this morning, healthremedies.com to the rescue! I am hoping my new bottle will be here by tomorrow!
