R1P2D40 Last Dose Day

It's Tuesday morning and the scale says 207.9 pounds for a loss of 1.3 pounds yesterday. I feel a wee bit backed up this morning and it's probably because I eat dinner kind of late.

Yesterday I had strawberries with stevia, coffee with moo and stevia, chicken with spinach, 2 grissini, 1 melba, grilled chicken with spinach, 2 grissini, shrimp on skewer with roasted garlic asparagus, apple pie (yummy!).

Tomorrow morning's weigh in will be my Last Dose Weight. That is the weight I will be stabilizing at during P3 and P4. So today I am going to make it a good day!

R1P2D39 Hello Monday

It's Monday morning (sigh) and the scale says 209.2. I'm pretty sure judging by my full stomach that this is related to daily movements and again not drinking enough water. I definately feel thinner, so I'm not worried.

Yesterday I had a strawberry smoothie, coffee with moo and stevia, a nice rare lean grilled hamburger, onion strings, 2 grissinis, orange spice iced tea, orange slices dipped in 1T cocoa and stevia, fresh snapper in white wine garlic sauce with roasted fennel.  Delish!!!

Preparing for Phase 3

This week I will move into P3. My last HCG dose is Tuesday night and I weigh in for my last dose weight (LDW) on Wednesday morning. From Wednesday to Friday lunch I continue with P2 VLCD, then Friday dinner (72 hours after last dose) I have my first P3 meal.

In P3, you have no sugar or starch at all. You add in good fats. You eat in your normal calorie range. So I'm going to check a few websites to estimate my calories range.

I have read suggestions to follow Atkins Induction for P3, so I will research that today. I'm going to make up a menu for the first week of P3 so I get it right.

R1P2D38 Weekend

It's Sunday morning and the scale says 208.5 pounds. I lost another 0.7 pound yesterday for a total weight loss of 22.5 pounds from starting weight. Yay!

Saturday's menu was a strawberry smoothie, leftover orange rosemary fish with 3 shrimp (to make 80 gm since it wan't enough fish) and spinach salad, 2 grissini, leftover chicken with sweet and sour sauce (strawberry and apple cider vinegar), iced coffee with moo and chocolate stevia, strawberries with vanilla cream stevia and cinnamon.

R1P2D37 Week 5 Numbers

It's Saturday morning the end of Week 5 and the scale says 209.2 pounds so I am down 0.5 pounds from yesterday. That makes 4.3 pounds lost this week and 21.8 pounds lost from starting weight (26.8 from load weight). I took measurements today and have lost 5 more inches this week for a total of 28 inches. Yay!!! I think that is great.

Yesterday my meals were a strawberry smoothie, leftover orange rosemary fish, tomato soup, Chicken Sausage Apple Stuffing [chicken sausage (ground chicken with sausage seasonings) and diced apple, 1 T minced onion with 2 crushed melbas all sauteed together], sea salt & cracked pepper baked radish chips, coffee with moo, and apple pie (baked apple with apple pie spice and stevia). I think the salt in some things has me retaing water again. My body seems to not like as much salt as I like to taste and I need to learn to have less.
