I agree that this forum is so awesome! I just love the support and it's amazing at the continued success stories.
yiz.....you mentioned a mid march p2 thread...I just did a search for 'mid march p2' and it came back with nothing. Is there something else in the topic title that I can search for, I would love to be in on this as well. I am R1P2D15 and just cheated, so I would like to find that thread and keep on line with the support of others.
Day 1 of loading down. I am like a bloated pig! I have no idea if it was an effect of my hhcg drops but the foods I ate after taking the drops didn't taste "right". For one, I wasn't hungry since stuffing my face was my main priority, but even so the actual foods weren't appetizing. It was like the flavors were off all day. I have never had this occur before. It's not like I always just ate when I was hungry, thus why I want to shed over 100 lbs.
I didn't weigh myself this morning. I didn't know then I'd actually be diving right into this when UPS hit my patio w/ my hhcg. I'll weigh tomorrow morning and probably know I will be up AT LEAST 2 lbs since yesterday. Still need to take pictures and measurements as well.
Today is my first day. I have so many questions. I tried to eat a lot today is that important? Here are some of my questiong? Can I use lotions, wear makeup, eat very very lean ground beef? How much am I supposed to eat in the first 2 days. I need friends. I am ready and excited.
Hopeful - yes, it's VERY important to eat to capacity on days 1 & 2 of this! If you don't, word has it you'll be SUPER hungry the first week. You just eat and eat and eat the first 2 days. There's no "set amount" but make sure you take a lot in.
I have read that some people use their regular lotions and what not with out a hitch, while others have issues. I bought oil free stuff to use in the beginning then later I'll slowly use my regular stuff to see if it affects me at all.
As far as the ground beef, you can cook it then rinse off all the fat under running water. Again, some can eat ground beef just fine while others have to limit beef or else they'll stall.
hopeful - you will find lots of information by either using the search button at the top of the page of reading through the different discussions - there are lots of forums about the lotions, makeup etc - you will need to read all of the ingredients and make sure there are no oils except for mineral oil, so sugars and no starches. This diet can be a full time job and these forums totally addicting but well worth it good luck!
