P3 for End of Round 3

Hi All:
I am at my LDW -- I had went up by 3.4 pounds, but I have eaten very "Clean" and have it back to where it needs to be....

I am currently "stable" and hope to stay that way for the next few weeks till I can add more yummy foods that are sugar and starch free!

God is good -- I feel good -- I have been wearing my 18 year old daughters clothes (She has lost 20 pounds! and she is in smaller sizes! so I get her old clothes!) I'll take 'em! They are size 16 misses pants and some L/XL tops -- I am amazed! I don't want that scale to go up... only DOWN!

We (my daughter and I) are going to go Easter Dress shopping when she gets back from her Spring Break trip! I think I like shopping now! at least I am not in the "WOMEN'S" Department anymore!

I look forward to it!

Praise you Jesus for this! Solo De Gloria!

END OF ROUND #3

I have stalled at 199.0 for the past 6 days, it is so close to the end of my round... I just decided to end it 2 days earlier! I increased my protein hoping that would help... but no change.... I am tired and ready to go to P3 -- it isn't the end of the world... and I feel good.

I will try loosing on my own next time and if I don't succeed, I'll come back to my hcg protocols!

So... I may post some during this p3 to let you know how I stabilize -- I plan on doing it perfectly -- and following the rules.. and easing into it -- and not go full force to begin with -- however I am looking very much forward to YUMMY food! ;)

Have a nice day and life!

Just a note: I went shopping: I can fit into Misses size 18 pants/dresses and Misses XL and some L tops -- I have come a long long long way from my 3x, 24W size and I NEVER EVER want to return, but by the grace of God, I won't!

Just to let you know where I am... It is Valentine's this week... so I thought this graphic was appropriate!

R3 P2 D28 VLCD #26

No weight change! ARGHHHH!!!! However.. it is called "pounds and INCHES!" They say you are loosing inches when you aren't loosing pounds... so... I'll be patient... the pounds will come... I will make it till the end of the month! And then 1 good week easing into p3 -- then adding the YUMMY food that I love!

Nothing more to report! Happy releases everyone... I hope to have more encouraging news next time!

My DD took this picture today -- I am 60 pounds lighter here than I was on August 16 -- This is for me to remember.

R3 P2 D24 VLCD # 22

Hi everyone! I am at a 16.6 loss so far this round -- I compared this to this day number in my first round and I am only .2 behind (day 24 in R1 I had lost 16.8! So.. I am on track to loose my 30 pounds this round! I only have 3 more full weeks to go!!! (that includes my 3 days of VLCD w/o drops!!!) I can make it! I have been tired this weekend... really just wanting to eat without thought! But... that would be careless and wreck-less... and I don't want to waste the time -- I want to maximize it...If I can loose an additional 14/15 pounds -- that will put me at my goal!!! (191 -- 30 lbs loss for this round!) I know I can do it! I just get weary sometimes... however-- there isn't a lot going on this month (activity wise!) so I just need to stay focused and get it done!

I had thought of doing a 23 day round from April 9 - May 2 -- and probably can pull off a 15 pound loss at that time.. that would put me at my wedding weight -- I want to take all of May/June/July off -- (stabilized!!!) and when I feel like it, I'll do the last 25 pounds!!! I may be able to just cut my calories -- eat my protein and loose that way -- without going through a strict p2 -- I will try that... but.. first let's just get through this current round -- and not count my chickens before they hatch!!! I have to get to 190'ish -- and break that terrible 200 pound mark (FOREVER!!)

God is so good -- I Thank Him for this!

Did I mention, we are adopting a beautiful little girl from China? Her name is Yana -- and I don't want her to have a fat mamma! :) My husband said I need to stop thinking I am still "fat" -- I know I am.... and at times I feel as heavy as I have ever felt... I know my value is not a number on the scale... I just keep seeing myself image at what I was....It is something I just need to work through -- it will take time.
