R2P2D5 looking better

Speaking of looking better, I need to try to remember to have the husband take a new picture later. Got off all the load weight and am now on losing new weight yay! Had a small headache last night but it was a stressful day so not sure it had anything to do with the diet. Going to have chicken instead of shrimp today and different vegetables. Hopefully I can keep up the 2+ losses at least during the first week. Looking for a 20-25lbs total lose this round.

Start: 151.4
Today: 149.8 (oh yeah in the 140s!)
Lose: 2.2
Total R2: 1.6
Total: 26.6

Going to stick with just fluids till lunch for today. Tomorrow I will try having the fruit for breakfast and see how that goes.

Breakfast: 8oz coffee, 28oz water
Lunch: 8oz coffee, 28oz water, 4oz chicken, 1 tomato, 1 apple
Dinner: 20oz water, 4oz fish, 4oz cabbage, 8 strawberries

Today has gone by sooooooo slow! Was looking at the calendar today and since I am only doing 23 days of drops that means just 18 more drop days to go.. yay! Hopefully I will have some nice steady drops in weight and get to goal of 20-25lbs... please? Goodnight!

R2P2D4 hmmmm

So not what I was hoping for but some people said it was most likely because of the chocolate delights. So yeah won't be having those today! There is always tomorrow right? The dreaded girl scout cookies are here but I will just be freezing those till April! No trouble sleeping yet either so that is good also.

Start: 151.4
Today: 152
Lose: 1.4
Total: -0.6

Breakfast : 8oz coffee, 28oz water
Lunch: 3.5iz fish, 2 oz celery, 28oz water, 1 apple, 8 oz coffee
Dinner: 4 oz shrimp, 4oz asparagus, 8 strawberries 20oz water

Here is hoping for a much bigger lose tomorrow.   It makes it a little easier to not scarf down thin mints when there is progress!

R2P2D3 lets go

Been a pretty easy smooth day so far. Only gained 0.8 this morning so only gained total of 2 lbs during my two load days. Really hoping for a 4+ weight loss tomorrow but worried that since i did such a short p3 and no p4 that it won't be as good. I guess we will see in the morning!

Start weight: 151.4
Todays weight: 153.4
Gain: 2

Breakfast: 8oz coffee, 28oz water
Lunch: 8oz coffee, 28oz water, 4oz fish, 4oz celery, 1 apple
Dinner: 23oz water, 4 oz shrimp, 4oz aspargus, 8 strawberries

No hunger or headaches or anything like that! Hopefully not to many sleep problems this time around. Goodnight! Heres to losing.

Round2 phase1 day 2 (r2p1d2)

Up 1.2 this morning. Not to bad just want to do this right for the best results! I am seriously so full I can barely breath! Made up some chocolate delights minus the agave nectar for phase 2. I really am so excited for Tuesday to see what that first day lose is going to be! Had milkshake and cookies and cream pie and mozzarella sticks plus white cheese dip. With a few more random fillers. Looking forward to not eating till lunch tomorrow lol good night!

Round 2 Phase 1 Day 1 ding ding

<p>Alright here we go guys and girls! So my start weight is 151.4 which gives me an even 25lbs weight loss from round 1.&nbsp; I am so scared the first round was just a fluke and it isn't going to work this time. Guess we will find out Tuesday. Going out for lunch with the husband today to enjoy my loading days. I can't wait for the restrictions of phase 2 really. Also going to eat more fish this time and see how that goes!</p>
<p>Start weight 151.4<br>
Goal: 125lbs<br>
Goal loss: 26.4lbs for total of 51.4lbs lost!</p>
<p>Breakfast: 4 blueberry waffles with syrup</p>
Lunch: chocolate shake, 1 and half pounds crawfish, mushrooms, sausage, few bites gumbo, crab dip with fried bow tie pasta (I think that is everything...)
Dinner: pulled pork sandwhich, chocolate milkshake, pringles chips

Here's to loading! Is it Tuesday yet?

Day 21 made it

Woohoo 3 weeks of phase 3 done! Starting my drops again tomorrow! My LDW from R1P2 was 152.8 my weight from day 1 of phase 3 was 151.0 my weight this morning was 151.6.  Can not weight to start losing again so tired of being overweight!!! Hope you are ready for daily updates again!

Day 19 almost done

Three more days of phase 3!!! Then starting Round 2!! I will be loading Saturday and Sunday then Monday will be the beginning of the 500 calories again and I so can not wait!!! By the end of round 2 phase 2 I will most likely be in the 120s!! OK to catch you up from Day 16 to now:
Day 16: 150.2 lost 1.4 um oops more than 2lbs under LDW
Day 17: 149.4 lost 0.8 OK way to far past LDW
Day 18: 151 gain 1.6 fixed that problem with a few drinks
Day 19: 151.4 gain 0.4 not bad for having lunch out with a friend and pizza for dinner!

Day 1 of phase 3 I was 151.0lbs so if I end on that in three days that would be great! Either way I think I maintained pretty stinking good! Once I start Round 2 Phase 2(R2P2) I will go back to blogging everyday and listing food again! I will be doing more fish this time and not eating the same food twice in a day. Also going to have the chocolate delights minus the agave nectar. 120s here I come! Have a great day!

Day 15 miss me?

<p>Doing pretty good over here. Maintaining within a lb range but consistently under LDW yay! Had a sub yesterday. It was just crazy busy so had to grab something! 6 more days till I start drops can not wait!!! While yes I did lose 25lbs I am still at the very top of being overweight though. Took a comparison picture yesterday. The top picture is phase 2 day 8.

Start: 176.4
Today: 151.6
Total: 24.8

</p>

Day 12 doing good

Down another pound in the last two days. Sitting at 151.4 which is 1.4 under LDW. Have seemed to stabilize pretty well between 151.0 - 152.6 with the range I could be in being 150.8-154.8. Still just ready to get back to losing! Going to wait till I make 21 days though which is only 9 more days!! Then back to the awesomeness of losing!  I am even looking forward to the restrictive food because I hate having to decide what's for dinner!

Start: 176.4
Today: 151.4
Lose: 0.6
Total: 25.0

I love seeing that 25! Praising God for the strength (or stubbornness lol) he gives me! He has made this journey so easy and wonderful for me!

Breakfast Lunch

Day 10 there it is

Okbso I wasn't that lucky! Gained 1.4lbs this morning, still 0.4 under LDW so still doing good. Did pretty well on eating today I think..

Eggs mushrooms
Tuna salad
Hamburger Florentine

Short about 30oz of water... gotta get back to being better at that!

Day 9 still going

Saturday morning I lost 0.8 yay! Went out to dinner and had a few drinks and some off p3 meals. Figured I would have some gain this morning but somehow ended up with a 0.4 loss putting me back down to 151 even. Things keep going this way I will end p3 on day 21 instead of 28 and get back to losing!!! Tomorrow I will try to get back on track of listing what I eat and all that!

Day 7 grrr

Grrr up 0.6. P3D7 -0.2 under LDW. The only two things that could have possibly caused a gain yesterday is the type of hamburger meat I am using ( have gained everyday I ate it) or I made these chocolate delights with to much agape nectar this time around. Going to have my leftovers from dinner (the hamburger) for lunch and no chocolates and see what happens tomorrow. Supposed to workout today but if I do it will throw off the whole test...

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 meatballs

Uhhh some other stuff. This was the night of my daughters sleepover so I was a little busy...

Day 6 ounces

Up to 151.6 still 1.2 under LDW but not liking this slow creep up. I think I am on the to much protein train. Going to throw in some more veggies and cut out the bacon that was cured with sugar. These small 0.2 oz gains are going to add up if I'm not careful, so trying to keep it in check. Thursdays are my busy days and grocery shopping but I have no clue anymore about what I need to buy!

Breakfast: 1 egg,1 mushroom, 1 cup grapes
Snack: 1 apple
Lunch: 4-5oz tuna dip, 3oz celery
Dinner: hamburger Florentine 4-5oz and 1 apple
Liquid: 16oz coffee and 60oz water

Survived the grocery store. Tomorrow is daughters birthday.... nom nom... NOOOOO Cake :( oh well lots to do tomorrow goodnight!

Day 5 boring

Maintaining is boring!!! Gained 0.4 but still 1.4 LDW so still doing good. Another 16-23 days of this then back to the fun of losing! Although I am enjoying the food lol Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1oz mushrooms, 1 apple Snack: 10 strawberries lunch: 5 meatballs, some lettuce, tuna dip mixed with tomato sauce Dinner: hamburger, onions, mushrooms, bacon, mozzarella cheese, garlic, lettuce Liquid: 16oz coffee and 60oz water So yeah I am still boring with food! Goodnight! of

Day 4 staying

Down 0.2 so still holding strong at -1.8 LDW YAY! Took back that other scale today. It was just driving me crazy. So back to normal weights.

Start: 176.4
Today: 151
Lose: 0.2
Total: 20.4
LDW: 152.8

Did pretty good on food today I think.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 bacon (oops not sugar free)
Snack: 8 strawberries
lunch: 5oz smoked tuna dip, some zucchini, 1 apple
Snack: 6 grapes
Dinner: 2 beefy soft tacos (onions, green peppers, hamburger meat, special salsa, mozzarella cheese wrapped in lettuce)
Liquid: 16oz coffee and 56oz water

Maintaining taste yummy but I would rather be losing!!! Goodnight!

Day 3 looking down

Well God was looking down at me at least! Only. 2 gain from my over indulgence last night! I did stick with only p3 food so I am sure that helped but I certainly ate well over a good amount of calories. Back on the straight and narrow today though! I bought a new scale yesterday with all kinds of crazy measurements,  but it is 1.2lbs off from my other scale so I am going to bump up all my weights by 1.2 so that I can start using it.
