R3 : P2 : INJ 12 : 151.0 (-7.0)

(Overall 9.2 lbs)  Going just as planned...10 days on the VLCD and almost 1 lb per day.  Whoo hoo!

I know it's only Wednesday, but I'm not sure if I'll make it to 147 by the weekend, but it would be awesome if that did happen.  I feel back to normal again, so that is all that matters.

Only 10 more injections and 12 more days to go before I can have cheese...I miss cheese...LOL

R3 : P2 : INJ 11 : 151.8 (-6.2)

(Overall 8.4 lbs.)

R3 : P2 : INJ 10 : 152.2 (-5.8)

(Overall 8.0 lbs)  Still going well...TOM still hasn't arrived but is lurking.  I'm ready to get that overwith...expect to be back to my previous weight at the end of my last round (147.2) by next weekend.

Already fitting back into my Size 6 jeans and even went and treated myself to two new pairs of jeans this weekend.  I feel better already...I could stop right here and be happy, but I'm going to go ahead and shoot for 140 this round...if it doesn't happen, I don't care.

R3 : P2 : INJ 8 : 153.4 (-4.6)

(-6.8 Overall)  Remember those Size 6 jeans I couldn't get past my thighs last week...I'm wearing them and they are comfortable.  Only down 6.8lbs, but also down 9.25 inches...a bunch of fat 1.25 came off my thighs alone this week and the majority of the rest of inches came off my waist, abdomen and hips.   Gotta love it!

R3 : P2 : INJ 7 : 153.8 (-4.2)

(Overall 6.4lbs)  I should not have made that spinach salad last night....I felt guilty half way through and stopped eating it...I already had onions and tomato..which is normal for me, but I threw a third veggie in there and that is NOT PROTOCOL.  Shame, shame, shame on me...still lost 0.6 but I'm going to rethink doing that again....I'm only hurting my own progress...and it wasn't even good.

Woke up this morning and made a hamburger (for lunch today) and enough chicken chili for 2 servings...wasn't sure what all I would be doing this weekend and needed some take along food just in case.  I also still have one casserole dish of Chicken Pizzaiola, so I'm covered until Sunday.

R3 : P2 : INJ 6 : 154.4 (-3.6)

(Overall 5.8 lbs) Going well...steady loss and I feel lighter already.  I will be happy next week at this time when I hit the 140's again.  TOM is on the way...I just realized it's been 3 weeks..and I am pretty regularly seeing him every 3 weeks...so who knows what my weight will do this coming week.

8am Coffee
10am Breadstick
12:30pm Chicken Chili

I'm wondering...can I have chewing gum?  Can't remember if I used that to pass the time in the last two rounds or not.

R3 : P2 : INJ 5 : 156.0 (-2.0)

It's getting easier....I don't care how good the hcg is...you need self control to do this diet.  There are multiple times where I think of grabbing a snack cracker or chugging down a glass of milk, but you just have to stop youself...STOP THE MADNESS...I swear I eat out of boredom...I need to learn how to eat for nutrition and learn how to cook light, low carb meals that will satisfy me.  I'm determined to turn around my eating habits after this round.

R3 : P2 : INJ 4 : 157.0 (-1.0)

Fabulous first day on the diet, lost 3.2 lbs overnight...how cool is that?

I've introduced my friend Becky from work to the diet and she is considering it, but she is afraid of the injections. I looked online and there are sublingual and I guess now even pills, but you have to remember to do them several times a day...what a pain in the ars! I say get over the fear of needles...

My chicken chili was wonderful and I brought it for lunch again today along with my apple and my breadsticks. I also found some of my English Toffee tea from last round that I'll have for "dessert"...that stuff is amazing...I love it...but it's seasonal (Fall), so hopefully Celestial will bring it back soon so I can get more.

Okay...off to be productive...oh yea...feeling no hunger as of yet, but it is only 8am...we will see.

8am  Coffee
10:30am 1/2 breadstick
12:30m Chicken Chili, 1/2 Breadstick

Didn't feel uncomfortable or hungry really at 12:30, but went ahead and had my lunch...which was wonderful!!  Thanks Diana!!!  I should be good today...I guess the HCG kicked in a little early this time...I am thankful.

6:30pm 100 grams hamburger, onion, mustard, cucumbers, breadstick
8:00pm  Strawberry Smoothie

Trying another one of Diana's Chicken and Tomato Recipes tomorrow...made a double batch for lunch and dinner "Chicken Pizzaiola".  It sure smells good!!!

R3 : P2 : INJ 3 : 160.2 (+2.2)

STARTING WEIGHT: 158

It's Monday...I loaded over the weekend...didn't think I did as well as in previous rounds, but I just didn't have an appetite for crap food. That doesn't mean I didn't eat it!!!

Wish I would have devoured a bag of potato chips and had some Crab Rangoon, but...oh well.
Susan said I did fine...so onward I go. Only 2.2 lbs in loading..was 158 on Saturday morning.

I know it's all in my head, but I already feel hungry...look forward to that 4th or 5th day when you don't care if you eat. LOL

8am - Coffee with Stevia
10am - 1 Grissini Breadstick
11am - Apple with Stevia sprinkled on top - why? I dunno.
12:30pm - 100 Grams Cube Steak, Sliced tomatoes and Mustard (plus: every meal has red onions!!)

7 pm - Chicken Chili (100 grams chicken, diced tomatoes, garlic, onions, water), bread stick

9pm - Strawberry Smoothie (handful of strawberries, water, ice, stevia)

Lots of Water

I"m BACK!!!

Going to start the protocol again on Saturday 9/19/09 - this is my first load day. I have eaten just about anything and everything I wanted for the last 6-8 months, careless and carefree....and I have 11 lbs back to prove just how much fun it was!!!

So here we go again...I'm hoping to get rid of those 11 lbs and maybe a few more in 30 days or less...and then try to maintain better in P4 this time.
