I Have Been Weighting for You

Today I was still up under a pound but I also ate late last night and had a hard time sleeping. I had oats again for breakfast which makes for 3 days in a row of oats! Sheesh! Tomorrow I will add bread made from sprouted grains...I am not expecting that to go well so I am planning for a steak day monday before I eat my first pizza in 70 days!

I gained almost a pound from the oats :( The forums say this is normal and to eat the oats three days in a row and the water weight will go away on its own so heres to Oats....meh

I lost 2.2lbs from my steak day so I "officially" started P4 today and added 1/4 cup of oats. I made an oatmeal with a touch of cream, stevia and cinnamon it was really good actually!

Ok well the results of the Sushi are +1.8lbs so that puts me 3.4 over LDW so I am doing a steak day. I am very hungry though today which is a bummer and my body is EXTREMELY achey. If all goes well with the scale tomorrow I will have a potato :)

Today I went out for sushi with my friend and had 3 different kinds, some fried, all with sauces and wasabi. I picked 90% of the rice off of each roll but STILL this is a HUGE HUGE add for p4 considering I have not actually started to add anything for P4 yet even though I am on P4 now. I have drank lots of water and taken a few enzymes but I went ahead and bought a steak for tomorrow planning to do a steak day..... LOL

I finally lost all of the PMS/TOM water weight yayy! So today is my first day of P4 and I sprung for a mocha light frappacino from starbucks...I know I know so silly but even though there is Stevia in it, there is also maple syrup so I wasn't sure. I did eat cantaloupe two days ago with no problem either. I ordered french fries at lunch and ended up just sitting there staring at them. I couldn't eat them!? It is so crazy how things have changed.

-2.4 lbs today! only 3.6 to go to be back at LDW. Tom is still here but ALMOST gone so I am hoping to see a drop tomorrow....it's hard to say though bc I don't think I drank enough fluids today, was out in the sun, worked  tonight, ate late dinner AND started lifting weights for the the first time in YEARS today....sooooooo I am drinking ACV right now and hoping to God that the scale is kind to me...I really don't mins staying where I am I just don't want to be up again :(

Well the results from the frozen yogurt are in! I am actually down a pound! LOL I think the fact that it was "sugar free" helped a lot! wink wink I did a protein day today after calculating that TOM was nearly finished. I am anxious to see the water move along but too annoyed to a steak day until I KNOW TOM IS GONE lol....what can I say, do you blame me!? ;) I had iced tea with vit. c, multi vit and 5htp with some sharp cheddar cheese in the AM and then I had about a half of grilled chicken for lunch, more cheese for snack....A 1/4lb size beef patty (90/10) grilled at home of course, with a bit of cheese on top for dinner....and then I had a bit of cheese for a snack in the evening. I drank TONS of water, flavored and regular and also had a venti iced coffee with a dash of cream in it. I DID have a glass of chardonnay this evening which I hope will not negate my efforts on my protein day....I had 3 glasses of water with ACV immediately following to help X out the glyc...

Ok so I am not technically supposed to start P4 until tomorrow BUT my boyfriend and I had date night tonight and we went to a frozen yogurt place after dinner. I had a regular sized, no sugar added, non-fat, chocolate yogurt SO welcome to P4! I was not planning on having anything like frozen yogurt on my first day but I decided to go for it since I have been so excellent on P3 and there was no sugar added. I heavily anticipate having to do a steak day tomorrow but it was worth it! :)

I did not sleep a wink last night finally im eating some eggs.....hopefully it wont affect my weigh in if i ever fall asleep :(

Still the same weight...TOM is here

Back up another 1.2 lbs, putting me 5lbs over LDW....BUT TOM started today so we will see

DOWN 2.2 from steak day but nothing more

it's my birthday and all i want is cake cake cake and more cake! Pref red velvet....Why oh why do I have to be on p3 :(

I am PMS and up 6lbs over LDW!!! I weighed in on tuesday at 1.8lbs over, almost steak day but not quite. I chose not to weigh yesterday bc I felt so icky. I have not deviated from P3 protocol  in anyway other than eating late once and awhile :( I talked to Grammy from the forums and she told me that even though it is likely ally water weight from TOM that I NEED to do a steak day. If it is water weight I should lose all to most of it overnight..... So steak day it is!!

Well I weighed in at -.6 today but not a big enough drop. I am def PMS considering last month I started TOM on the 13th....so we will see! I feel bloated today and craving things but feeling full at the same time which would be the presence of hcg in my system thanks to TOM. I hate being a woman sometimes!! :)

OK... You HAVE to do one of these Enemas....they are in the same isle as stool softener, tums and laxatives. They only cost $2.00 for a 2 pck and they are NOT as horrible as they sound. Not only did I only have to wait like 30 seconds to have a BM, it was not messy at all and I feel 200% better! i feel empty and free! Highly highly recommend!!!

Well yesterday I weighed myself and I was up 2 pounds. I wasn't sure if it was the cashews, eating late, or the fact that i am due for TOM....I didn't do a steak day because I had been under LDW. Today is a different story, I didn't even want to bother weighing myself. I look and feel bloated, I ate late yesterday AND I tried sauvignon blanc yesterday...2 glasses worth...But I did. I am up .5lbs from yesterday which pushes me over 2lbs over LDW Protein day it is! I also did a saline enema this morning just to give my digestive track a fresh start for the day. We will see!

So I am sad to announce that I just read on my forum that cashews are about 13.2% starch! AND they say almost everyone has a gain from eating them and I ate about 3/4 cup :( So I have a feeling that I will end up having to do a steak day or protein day tomorrow :( .... sad news

Today I added cashews and sour cream into the diet...we will see what happens!!

down .6 lbs yay! AND I had more than one glass of chardonnay yesterday :) I have been eating almonds with no problem so I am going to try pistachios! we will see how it goes :)

Only up about .6 today!

Do not eat Laughing cow Swiss cheese triangles! They are processed and the reason why I gained 3 lbs over night!!! http://www.thelaughingcow.com/products/light-swiss-original/

-3.2LBS! .4 under LIW again! The protein day worked like a charm! Here's what I ate: 7:30am iced-t with vitamin c powder & b complex 10:30 3 egss scrambled with enzyme 11:11 ACV, multi vitmain, 5htp           Sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 oz!) 11:30-1:30 NAPT TIME lol 2:00...more cheese....maybe 2 oz 4:45 more cheese....lots of water, a cup of coffee 5:45 3 small hamburger patties from IN& OUT (they are tiny)          water water water 7:00 ACV 7:30 3 egg whites, enzyme          water, vitamin c, 1/2 cup coffee 9:20 LOTS OF WATER (ABOUT 3 GLASSES)         1/4 lb burger patty (plain no cheese) 11:52 ACV 1am bed

Ok so instead of a steak day I am going to try a protein day. Basically you don't eat any fruits or veggies all day. some people eat fats some people don't, both seem to have losses...so we will see how it goes!

well I weighed in this am at +3lbs!!! what the?! I did eat quite a lot more yesterday than I intended, and I tried a new kind of cheese AND I ate right before I went to bed....so I am sure all of those things don't help. Let the steak day begin!!!

so i have only eaten like 100 more calories today than I did yesterday but I am so full my tummy is not ready for all of this food after 40 days of hcg! ahhh! meh

-.8 lbs, -.2 from LIW! I am so happy! I was very careful for what I ate yesterday in the sense of how much cheese and milk and it seemed to pay off!

Ok I monitored what I ate a little more carefully today...hopefully it will be kind to me :) I ate about 1670 cal all day: 10:30am woke up, thyroid meds 11:00am BM** 11:30 Toilet & weigh -1.8lbs! 11:50 Iced Tea with absorbic acid, digestive enzyme, multi vitamin and 5-HTP 2 eggs scrambled with 1/2 tbsp butter, 1/3 cup blackberries, 7 celery sticks with 1.5 tbsp guacamole 1:30pm Chardonnay Spritzer 2:30pm 1 whole carrot 3:15 Iced tea with absorbic acid small slice of sharp cheddar, 1/3 cup blackberries, 7 sticks celery with 1.5 tbsp guacamole 4:15 small slice of sharp cheddar on jazz apple, digestive enzyme, coffee with 1/2 tbsp cream 7:15 Serving of green beans with a little butter, large salmon fillet with braggs and butter, dried pears * (no sugar added just baked) and plantain chips

Morning after steak day: -1.8lbs! Yay! it worked! So I am seeming to stabilize about .6lbs over LIW, which is 1.6lbs over the lowest I had weighed on HCG VLCD....I gained a pound the last 2 days of vlcd... So my approach today is minimal cheese and NO lattes....I am going to eat more veggies than fruits today also and see where that leaves me...and we can't forget the ACV :)

I literally just spent the past 2 hours cutting carrots and celery, bagging them, cooking a big pot of green beans and making a huge bowl of homemade guacamole for tomorrow. I am trying to eat more veggies than fruit tomorrow and also more protein and less cheese and see how things go. Avocado is new for me on p3 so hopefully my body is ok with it!

up 2.4 from liw :( steak day today ....just ate dinner, did fine today....drank some acv...we'll see what happens tomorrow
