LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 194.0 / Today - 196.2 (+2.2)
Difference -.4 / Total Loss - 33.80

Ok... So my big 'ol loss yesterday was a fluke because my body found it again the very next day! Up 2.2? Whoa? I'm still under my LIW so I'm not doing a steak day. But I will definitely be watching the scale closely this Holiday Weekend!

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 195.4 / Today - 194.0 (-1.4)
Difference -2.60 / Total Loss - 36.0

Question - I've been reading alot of support forums and have seen multiple times that you are NOT supposed to lose in P3. As of today, I am -2.60 from LIW. Several sites state that I should be eating MORE to gain back what I've lost. I'm so confused. I have been eating.. ALOT (of the things that I'm allowed to). To see a -1.4 loss this morning pretty much shocked me, although I'm not complaining :)

Any advice?

If you take a peek over there -->, you will notice that I hit my 3rd goal!!! 15% loss! WOOHOO! I couldn't find a 15% image, so I'll give myself a pat on the back!

This weekend was absolutely crazy here. We lost our power on Saturday (which was also our anniversary) and had to revise our original plans. There was no way we could leave the kids home in a cold house!! So we spent our anniversary out shopping with the kids. It was actually very pleasant! And for anyone who has 3 teenagers + 1 preteen, knows what I'm talking about!! ;)

Ok.. I'm off to check out everyone elses pages!

I'm in Phase 3 and didn't start off too hot! YIKES. We had such a busy weekend that planning my meals and making sure I had everything I would need didn't make my priority list. Which it SHOULD have. Today I am within .2 of my LIW but over the weekend I was up 3 pounds. I introduced foods but went for convenience over the best choices. Not smart.

Last night I went to Trader Joes and picked up lots of fresh fruit, still bought apples/strawberries, but also added pineapple & cantaloupe. I also picked up some yummy chicken sausages to try for breakfast!

My daughters soccer team placed SECOND in STATE for GU12! That is a HUGE accomplishment! They played such a great game!! After double overtime and a shootout, the other team beat us by 1. We were so proud of them!

LIW - 196.6 / Today - 195.8 / Difference -.8

Today is my 1st day w/out an injection and doing VLCD. Well, not technically my FIRST day since I've done this a few times with TOM, but my 1st day in transition to P3. Tonight is my company's holiday party so this will be a big deal for me. Our party is being catered by 2 of our employees and all the goodies are in one of their offices. Lots of unacceptable goodies. Very yummy looking unacceptable goodies.

Day 44 -.8 (P2 Total -27.4)

Today is my last injection!! I'm not gonna lie, I'm very nervous about moving to P3. I will take the advice and document what I eat and definitely count calories! I'm about to do a little research and find out what my average intake should be.

Is anyone doing the bodybugg while on HCG P3? I have one (the older model) and thought it would be a good way to track input vs output. I think the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is going back to the gym. I really miss taking the classes.. Step is my FAVORITE!

The next few days are going to be very busy here! 3 soccer games between today and Sunday, SUPPOSED to be going to a basketball game tonight )but I'm not sure if that's going to happen), My youngest has a spaghetti dinner to go to on Saturday (carbo loading the girls before the BIG game!), Oldest has to work in between all of this, ect... Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Day 42- -.4 (P2 TOTAL -25.2) TOM
Day 43- -14 (P2 TOTAL -26.6 TOM

I had my doctor appointment yesterday and found out that I calculated my days wrong. I didn't realize that if you continue after a 21 day cycle, then you go for 40 injections and then 2 days of continued VLCD. SOOOO.. that puts my last injection tomorrow and I'll start P3 on Sunday. Will someone please correct me if that is wrong? I had myself doing 42 injections (account for taking 4 days off for TOM / 2 days each 21 days) and then 3 days VLCD. So I'm a little confused.

Thighs -2.0" / Hips -1.25" / Waist -.5" / Chest -1.0" / Neck -Same" / Arm -.5 = -5.25

I've lost another 5.25"!! So that's a total of 11.5 inches since 10/26/10. Not bad!!!

If I don't hear anything back, then I will be doing my last injection tomorrow!

This weekend was very busy for us being out of town! My daughters soccer team took 1st place in their bracket for the Semi-Finals and will play this Sunday for the State Title! We are SOOO proud of them. I'm hoping to finally get some pics of all of us up sometime this week.

So... hmmmm.. I hit my 2nd goal!!! I'm officially in 1'derland! WOOHOO! Go me! I have 8 days left in P2 and will shoot for my 3rd goal before moving onto P3!!!

-1.4 Loss (Phase 2 - 24 pounds) TOTAL -30 Pounds!!

I'm -.1 away from my 2nd goal, to be in 1'derland!!! I feel so great today just knowing that I'm *almost* there!!!

This weekend I will be out of town for little Mama's soccer games. I'm packing as much as I can and think that I'll have the motivation just KNOWING I've lost THIRTY POUNDS!!! I won't be able to cook any foods so I'm taking my salad mixings and precooked chicken to eat cold.

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!!!

-.2 LIW (Phase 2 Total -22.60) TOTAL LOSS 28.60

I was a little bummed this morning seeing a -.2 when I'm so close to hitting my 2nd goal. Also wasn't expecting TOM til Monday, but I started spotting yesterday. I've read where TOM is a little off while on HCG so that might account for a small loss today.

This weekend we are heading out of town and I'm a bit nervous with food choices. My daughters soccer team won their division and now they are going to fight for the STATE title!!! Not bad for a bunch of 11yr olds. The hotel has a fridge so I'm planning on bringing as much with me as possible!!!

Anyone that uses injections know the best way to transport the HCG? I was just going to fill a thermos with ice and hit the road. ?

-.6 LIW (Phase 2 Total -22.40)

1.7 to go until my next goal. Not much else going on today.
