Yeah I was hoping to be at 140 and I am still up at 155 as of this morning. 1 thing I did yesterday that might account for the HUGE jump in loss is I had 5 32oz cups of water rather than my normal 3.
I had watched a video on you tube from "Delman". If you need to cheat for a big event like wedding or party you can plan ahead. Do not take the HCG shot the day before cheat and 2 days after. Since cheating causes no weight loss for 3 days you will not be waisting 3 days of shots you can resume losses after the cheat. I have not tried it but after my cheat it took 3 days to recover. Sill lost at total of 40.5 lbs in 40 day protocol. Might have lost 2 to 3 lbs more if I did not cheat. LOL The good news is I am now on 2nd week of phase 4 doing well I am staying 1 to 1.5 lbs from my LIW. Looking forward to my last round need to loose 35 lbs after the holidays.
That is awesome Diet4life! You did so well! Tryingtomakeit, don't be discouraged. Keep coming on and getting feedback for all your decisions. There's alot of knowledge on here! I've had a couple of discouraging days as well (3 day stall), but I'm feeling so much more positive today!
I talked to my mom on the phone last night, to congratulate her "in person", instead of as a message through my dad, and I had to burst her bubble. :-(
She's been dieting on P3, and she's down 4 lbs. below LIW. It took me an hour before I could convince her that you don't diet on your reset phase, you eat as you would normally eat (quantities), just no sugar and no starch. I finally got through to her. At one point we both had our copies of Pounds and Inches in hand, and I was reading to her from the section about "beware of over-enthusiasm". She's only been on P3 for a week, I hope that hasn't done anything that can't be countered.
So, I didn't lose again :( hopfully I will soon. I have now lost about 3 lbs this round day 17, how can I not be losing weight on 500 calories a day? Any ideas?
thanks! just want to make sure that I get the most out of this. Is garlic salt ok to have if it does not have any sugar? and what about roast beef in the package Deli meat if it contains no sugar, do you know?
The first couple of days where difficult but I am doing much better now, not really hungry! luv losing the weight:)
