Thank you.. Thank you.. Stall Gods for lifting my curse!! I can't even explain to you the relief that rolled over me this morning seeing a great loss!! Depending on the arrival of TOM, I'm still shooting for Sunday to be my LIW. Weekends are the hardest days for me to stay focused. This weekend will be especially hard with Easter being on Sunday. After pushing thru this stall/gain, I will be so dedicated as to not end R2 with a higher weight!!

I'm so over this. I know that TOM is lurking around the corner and with as much as I've pee'd today I better lose some of that +1.0 gain tomorrow.

Up until today, I have been ahead of my Round 1 losses. Today I am 1 pound behind it. I have been the same weight for 3 days in a row. I'm just going to push thru the stall and hope that I have a drop tomorrow.

My original goal for this Round was to end ANYWHERE in the 160's.. 169.8 would have been fine with me. I was going to *maybe* extend a few days to hit that goal, but I think that I'm just going to use Sunday as my LIW regardless of where I end up. During R1 I continued to lose during Phase 3, so I'm hoping that will be my luck this time. I know you are supposed to lose during P3, but I never 'dieted' during that phase.. just exercised and followed the no carb/sugar rule. My body tends to do really well in Phase 3!

Not feeling too well today. Woke up with a runny nose, major headache & cough. Not a great way to start my weekend. Headed to the store in a few to pick up some Zinc & Vit C! Looks like this cold is going around, and not just here. A few of my fellow bloggers have been sick too.

On Sunday I am getting a 90 minute massage with my mom courtesy of my sister! She loves us and wanted to spoil us from afar (she lives in NY!). I can't wait!!

Hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend!!!

I know that per Dr. Simeons protocol, we are not supposed to work out while using hCG. I have used this round to experiment with the results of cardio only workouts. I've mainly been either walking, step aerobics or Zumba. I have seen my weight stall out the past few days, with finally having a .6 loss today. BUT I am still 2.0 pounds below my R1 results as of today.

To date during R1, I had a .4 gain (minus load days)
To date during R2, I have had a .2 gain (minus load days) & 2 days of 0.0 loss/gain.

I'm still continue to be happy with my R2 results so far!

I'm echo'ing exactly what Caitlin said. This is a result from losing so much so quickly this Round. I'm dedicated to not being discouraged and just sticking to Protocol today and seeing what happens tomorrow :)

I did do ZUMBA! last night. Maybe I'll start seeing less of a loss from the nights I do workouts. We'll see.

Eating on P2 Protocol is not the hard part for me during the weekends, making sure I get my water in IS! Yesterday I made sure to drink my weight in ounces of water and the payoff was wonderful! Another great loss of -1.8!! I'm TWO whole pounds ahead of my R1 progress! My goal for this Round was "to just be in the 160's"! I didn't care if it was high 160's. I definitely think that will be a reachable goal!

Saturday - 178.8 (-1.40)
Sunday - 178.8 (+/- 0)

My first gain since starting R2! And I already know what I did wrong and have the plan to correct it. Anyone else have the problem of staying 100% on Protocol during the weekends? I had a really hard time getting in all my water this weekend. Especially yesterday. My goal today is drinking, drinking, and then drinking some more!

It is really helping me to take a look back @ Round 1 and see how I'm doing this round compared to the previous round. I really thought this round would be slower (still might get that way eventually) because I have "less" to lose, but I'm really happy with the results and feel great!!

I can't believe the results I'm having this time around! I'm not complaining by any means, but it is definitely motivation to stay on Protocol during the day!!

I'm curious to hear if anyone has continued to workout or include fitness in their routine during Phase 2. I didn't so much during R1, but don't plan on cutting it out during R2. I plan to continue with Zumba (2-3 days) & my Step Aerobics class (at least 2 days). I did Zumba on Tuesday having no problems with exhaustion. I did Step Aerobics last night with many modifications (no risers, slower pace, no high jumping, ect) and felt pretty good afterwards. I did have an additional apple before working out and had my normal fruit with dinner.

The saying "speak it into existence" never lied!! I was so frustrated on Friday with my .6-.8 toggle. I know I shouldn't be frustrated, especially since my weight loss has been WONDERFUL! Over the weekend I hit my 50lb loss goal!!! Then on Sunday I had a .8 gain :( So now I'm battling to get those last .4 off to hit my goal (again).

I made it to the mall to do some jean shopping!! All my anxiety for nothing!! I fit wonderfully into a pair of size 14's!! I rarely spend money on myself (yeah.. that happens when you have children), BUT I bought myself a really nice pair of Lucky Brand Jeans!! Originally $99 at Macy's, but marked down 65% and then I received another 20% off because I was wearing red (I work for a Cardiologist office and the logo on my jacket was red!!) WOOHOO! I bought a 2nd pair at Old Navy that were super cute (Below). I didn't think to take a pic at Macy's :( But I will on Friday when I wear them on Jeans Friday :)

Well.... Slowly but surely the weight is coming off. My goal is to be strict on myself this weekend. The days I tend to stray away from protocol is Friday night - Saturday night.

This weekend I am going to look for some new jeans. You would think that after losing almost 50 pounds I would be excited to go clothes shopping!! I'm actually having anxiety about it. I'm literally down to my last pair of size 16 jeans and they are way too big for me. My husband tried to grab my butt the other day and wound up with a handful of jean material :) My fear is I will get in the dressing room and struggle to fit into a pair of size 14's.

I work in a hospital and wear medical scrubs daily to work. I really need new scrubs too! But again, I'm scared to buy more in fear that they won't fit. My current ones are so bad that I now walk on the back of my bottoms and my tops hang off of me! And honestly, my coworkers are giving me a hard time about it.. but in a good way.

Am I insane? Or does anyone else fear clothes shopping? I know the fears go back to me being MUCH heavier and getting depressed because I didn't like the way clothes fit or refused to buy "my true size".

It's Superbowl Weekend!! Hope everyone has a great time and temptations stay away! :)

WOW.. Round 2 is moving soooo ssllooww! I know it's a combination of things (weather, boredom, husband quit, mood, work, ect) that are making this Round really hard for me, but I've got to keep pushing thru! Today is day 11 and I'm only down -2.60 (or -6.40 from Load), which is discouraging. I was doing SO well on R1P4, that I thought I would see better results by now. I know this weight will be a hard one for me to break because I was 185 for YEARS.. I'm sure my body has found a familiar comfort.

Pushing on.... Not giving up!

I'm so excited today is finally Friday! I'm still not back to my 100% self yet, but after this weekend I plan to start a new, fresh week. It seems like all my kids have "things to do and places to be" that don't require ME.. and when you have 4 kids, that's almost always a fluke. Oh, I forgot to mention the Mr has to work! So I will have a good chunk of time to just relax and start recovering from being sick all week. We might try and see a movie this weekend too, I need my will power to stay away from theater popcorn!

Enjoy your weekend!

Finally have lost all of my loading weight and now ready to see things move along a bit quicker. I've been sick since Saturday, so I know my loading days could have been better. I've been trying to stay true to protocol and making myself eat and drink when I didn't feel like it.

Today is the FIRST day that I've felt anywhere close to being back to human! I actually made it a full day at work too. Time to kick this HCG into gear and start losing again!!

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.

R1P2D44

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!!!
