so how are you doing now? weight wise how much more have you lost ? 1 to 10 how hard has it been? 1 to 10 what is the likelyhood of you keeping up the weight management? mentally and emotionally how much space does this stuff take up? seems consuming what do you think?

30 lbs .... woo to da whoo... I feel ya. It took me about a week or longer to get down 30 adn then .. dah da dah da ... I gained and now im about .4 away from 30 lbs again. Grrrr... I know it can be frustrating but you did it! P3 is YUM ... I was away from home my whole p3 on my first round (on round 2 now). It can be done P3 but I def wouldnt do p2 away. too stressful. Have a good trip and you are going to luv you some fat ... trust that! I had a feta frenzy and also loved omelets!

Thanks, T. :) I'm behind on my updates, my computer with the attached webcam is in for repairs.

I actually did love P3, for all of 9 days. Then I stepped on the scale and saw that I was up 10 lbs, and hopped right back on P2. Now I'm 1.5 lbs away from being back at 30 lbs, hoping to hit that mark tomorrow morning! So I feel your frustration there!

We have had some similarities, haven't we? I'll have to go catch up on your vids now!

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

Wow, your tummy really went down!!

I will be starting soon, I hope to bid adieu to mine just as quickly. lol

Yeaaah, hcg "Loser" great job Gal

Isn't it wonderful to know you can be SLIM again? I was always slim until I was 41 and had my fifth child, and didn't get that weight off. I hated being fat so much! I'm on R2P2D28 and this is my 3rd day of the VLCD after my last injection on Sunday, ,so I start P3 tomorrow. I have to have gallbladder surgery now, so I'll be on P3 for a couple of months until I'm through that. Be careful the "bread" doesn't trigger cravings.

I'm on R1P2 VLCD19 & am so far 18 lbs down. I heard it's ok to do Atkins or South Beach for P3. I'm probably gonna try Atkins, they have some low carb breads, 1g net carb per slice so i'm thinking of maybe getting some of it though it does seem so very expensive just for bread.

You are doing so great. You have to be very proud of yourself. Keep it up! How do you post pictures on Youtube?

[TheHCGgal]

Thank you for the kind words.

I use Windows Movie Maker to edit my videos and add the pictures before uploading it to youtube.

If you don't have WMM, I know some people use OneTrueMedia(dot)com. :)

[hcghockeymom]

Your pictures sure tell the tale. WOW what a difference. My pictures were worth 1000 words as well. You will enjoy P3 once you get used to it. I miss it. Thanks for the tip on the sprouted grain bread. I'm going to check in to it. Best of luck :)

[TheHCGgal]

I went to the grocery today (Publix) to look for Ezekiel 4:9 brand bread, because I know it's sprouted grain. It's usually kept in the "organic" section of the freezer section, but it wasn't there today. There were some Ezekiel 4:9 brand sprouted grain tortillas, I thought about buying them but the carb count was somewhere in the 20s. I'm scared to try them!

[TheHCGgal]

Thank you so much for the compliments. This diet is amazing, isn't it? For the first time ever, I have hope that I will be thin again soon! :)

[hcghockeymom]

While on P3, I did try MGD 64 beer with no gain. I also had Corona Light. On page 170 of the Hcg Gourmet Cookbook, paragraph 4, it states "You may enjoy an alcoholic beverage such as wine, beer or liquor with meals during P3. Avoid sweet mixers, liqueurs and dessert alcohols." As long as you monitor any changes that occur if you indulge, I say "why not". I did fine. I stayed at or under my LIW and never had to do a steak day for 7 weeks.

[TheHCGgal]

I don't have the Cookbook. Thanks for the tip! I haven't heard of MGD 64, maybe they don't sell if in my region. Is it a light beer? I'm usually a bud light girl, but am scared to try it. I think I'll stick with rum and Diet Coke. :)

[mamaclok]

YAY!!! 30 lbs is something you should be reallllllly proud of! So happy for you!

[TheHCGgal]

Thank you so much! You have contributed so much to my success, your videos were the first things I came across online, and I watched them all. Very helpful! And I ordered my mixing kit from you, and just recently ordered a few more syringes.  You're the best, thank you!!!

[kadianf]
