Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: catfish creole
S: apple
D: bison steak (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
4 L water, 2 c tea, 2 c coffee (E: 2 L water, 4 c coffee) 2 bottles of Pellegrino’s
Well that's LAME! It puzzles me how some days I lose NOTHING...whatevAAAAAAA!!! Ed of course is still losing like a BIG LOSER!!! I have a little trick up my sleeve today so we'll see if it works!
I ordered a little "stock" of flavored Stevias which arrived yesterday! We drank so much coffee, tea and sparkling mineral water just to try them all out! YUM! The vanilla cream in the mineral water takes just like cream soda and the lemon drop takes just like Fresca. We have to go to the store today and stock up on more Pellegrino’s and coffee! I think these little treats will help us get through these last 11 days!!!!
So nice to see some of my long lost buds-in response to your comments:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liz- Thanks for stopping by. I thought about you last night and I need to head over to your blog to see how you are doing! Thanks for the early birthday wish! Oh goodness I'm really, really, really hoping to get to 115 and Ed's goal is 215-we're getting cloooooooooose!!!
Becca- You always have my "back" don't ya! "Yeah ED, let me do what I WANT!" Actually we think we have come to a "compromise!" We'll see how it turns out! No worries, I always get what I want!!!
Shelley- Oh you're back! Girl, this feels like it's taking forever!!!Thanks for checkin' on us and always cheering us on....I'll get there (if it kills me)!
Lili- What's up stranger?! You know it really isn't nice that all my buds bailed out at the same time-I've been missing you! You better have updated your blog! I know, those water bottles must have been invented by a MAN! LOL
Ya'll we got through the week! Happy freakin' Friday!!!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: 1/2 can (low sodium) tuna, 2 T cottage cheese
D: grilled chicken (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
S: 1 square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate
3.5 L water, 2 c tea (E: 2 L water)
See these are the losses that Ed usually has when he is a "good boy" but these losses are also why he is a "bad boy!" He knows how easily he can lose when he deviates. This morning after he realized he lost over a pound (again) he said "oh yeah, crawfish for your birthday!" LOL
I'm not exactly sure who's birthday it is...his or mine! He is so bummed that I said I don't think I want to go out! I would be happy staying home enjoying my birthday with some wine and seafood! I would rather celebrate after our LIW when I've met my goal weight!!!!
Ed came home yesterday with a new chain for himself so I'm assuming he got me some jewelry for my b-day (and of course he had to pick something up for himself). He is begging for me to let him give me birthday gift early and I keep saying "NO, you always give me my gifts early-you need to wait until the day off!" He is so funny like that!!!
Speaking of gifts for BOTH of us! Ya'll I'm not so sure about the water bottles. They have this really unique straw that you have to bite down on and suck at the same time. It's really strange and I don't like it! I also noticed you have to suck kind of hard in order for it measure the ounces correctly (I don't want to have to "work" to drink). I'm thinkin' I like my old water bottle better! Actually we got online and found some different ones called "Kleen Kanteens" http://www.kleankanteen.com/. The stainless steel alternative to plastic. These should be better-I'll let you know!
Onto to comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Mary Moe- Thanks for always commenting, you're such my girrr! Yeah, stick to your regular water bottle for now! Ed and I will do the "testing" and let you know if it's worth the upgrade! You ready for P2?
Becca- Yay, what a pleasant surprise! Welcome home! Great to see the update and pics, you cute thang you! And did you say I'm close to the 110's......what?! NOOOOOOO!
Monica- Seeing the 110's seems so....CRAZY! I'll think I'll make it to 120 for my b-day but I'm really hoping for 119-we'll see!!! I know, I thought the water bottles would be so cool! We always joke that we need to be the "testers" for every company because we are really good and picking things apart! The water bottles are a great idea it just needs some tweeking!
Alrighty, I guess that's all for now! Today is Pauls birthday (Imago Embraced) Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: 1/2 can (low sodium) tuna, 2 T cottage cheese, 1 celery stalk
D: 4 oz Bison steak (J: broccoli w/ parm cheese) (E: grilled onion)
S: 1/2 orange w/ 1 square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate (YUM)!
4 L water, 2 c tea (E: 2.5 L water)
YES! We are both very happy today! Maybe we should copy exactly what we ate yesterday to see if we can pull another 1 pounder tomorrow...hmmm!
Maybe the loss is from all the water we drank from our new, nifty, handy dandy water bottles Ed bought for US yesterday (for MY birthday)! Now these aren't just any 'ol water bottles...they are the "HydraCoach" Intelligent Water Bottles-whoo! They track how much water you've drinkin' including clocks, water goals, percentages and a 27 page mini manual to go with it (sheesh)! We had no idea drinking water could be so much FUN! Ain't technology great?!
OMG, I'm so close to being under 120....I can't believe it!
In response to our peeps:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi'ya Marrrray- Thanks for your input on the fruit! We did get our fruit and all our cals in yesterday and look! This whole thing is just a "crap shoot" (as Biz would say)! Who knows! YES, we are both going till March 11th (unless my body begs me to stop-which would be AWESOME)!
Monica- I am very excited to almost be at goal! This has been a 7 month journey and I can't believe I'm at the tail end of it....it's a great feeling!!!! I've almost lost 50 freakin' pounds-crazy huh?!
Shelly- What's up Mrs. Athletic? Thanks also for your input on the fruits and getting in all the cals. Ahhh, a size 0...NO!!! Enjoy P3 girlfriend!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

We're happy to see the scale moving down...phew! You'd think with allll that water I drank yesterday I would've lost more-I know I'm never happy am I?! I really, really hope to get under 120 by the end of the week which seems "do-able!"
Question for ya'll! Do you eat all your required foods each day? We hardly eat our second fruit and we're wondering if we need to! Also, we don't always get our 500 cals in-do you think it matters?
Onto comments:

Becca- What's up ski bunny? So good to hear from you!!! Sounds like ya'll are having tons of fun in all the snow and crazy storms! I really hope to get to that point Dr. S talks about when all the fat is used up. I still don't have any hunger so there's still plenty of fat for my body to live on.
One day at a time....
Monica- Aww, I'm always here! Good thing we all didn't go on vacation at the same time! So today is your LIW...woo hoo!
Mary- I know...MEN! Thanks for your good vibes, give them all to me (not Ed)! LOL
CB- Thanks for the info! Don't ya get sick of always weighing and thinking about it? I always say we are all going to need an "intervention" afterwards-LOL! Love ya girl!
That's all for now...hope all is well with my buds!

Ed is all pumped up and "determined" to get to 215 this round-he can do it too! We have 15 days left so we really need to buckle down and do this right! Positive affirmations!!! We always start the week so strong and then by the weekend we seem to go downhill huh?! Life is just too fun to be on a "diet" ALL the time! LOL
Wow our little blogger community sure is quiet! Thanks so much to Mary and Monica-ya'll are always here for us! Monica it's almost P3 time for you....and Mary, I don't even want to go to your blog to see what you're eating...I'm just going to live through ya'll!

D: chicken fajita pizza (toppings only) E: 3 beers J: 2 glasses of white wine
1 L water
Well as you can see by the GAIN we had a great day yesterday!!! Like I mentioned I had a baby shower to go to which was on the other side of Houston where we used to live. We don't get around that part of town very often so after the shower was over we just "had" to stop at our favorite pub and have some gourmet pizza and drinks! Ed ate one entire piece (with crust) then we just picked off the toppings...it was delish and worth every ounce (or pounds) we gained! It really is crazy how much Ed gains in one night-he doesn't care! LOL
Ya'll are so funny asking if we went shopping for "naughty or nice!" So sorry I have nothing exciting to report other then I bought some slacks that are a size 3! It's really interesting because in my mind I think I'm a certain size (bigger) so when I try on clothes that I think will fit and they are too big, it's shocking! I am so pleased with the sculpting that has taken place on this round (even with all the deviations)! I'm smaller now in size than I've ever been (in my adult years) and yet I'm still not under 120. It really doesn't matter what the scale says! If I could I'd just keep going until all the fat is gone and I get "ravenously hungry" as Dr. S explains. Ed wants to go 2 more weeks and I have plenty of HCG so we are thinking about giving it a shot (pun intended)! Also I found cheaper flights to Mexico if we leave on the 15th of April. So even if we ended around the 11th of March we'll be in P4 by the time we leave. This is like the never ending round!!!
I'm looking forward to a "chill" day today! Ed loves to go to garage sales and flea markets and he's trying to talk me into going today...he's so funny!
Have a nice slooow relaxing Sunday! Is it really almost Monday again?!

Hi'ya! Another day, another loss...yada, yada, yada! Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful for my .4 loss but I'm starting to feel greedy or impatient or something...maybe I'm just getting bored! Ed is doing great and keeps saying "let's keep going!" I joke that he's just along for the ride. He doesn't do any of the shopping, measuring, cooking, mixing, calculating, reading or writing! Not that any of this is hard it's just...well ya know-repetitive! Monica, maybe this is why Dr. S asks "are you greedy" hmmmm!
It looks like we have more HCG left than I thought. I think we'll do 2 days of injections then skip the 3rd day and repeat until it's gone-hopefully we'll have enough to get us into the first week of March.
It's been so rainy and gloomy here in Houston which could have something to do with my "blah" mood not to mention I'm PMS'ing! Tomorrow we are going shopping, which always puts a smile on my face! :)
Hope ya'll have a nice day!

All is well! It sure is fun waking up each day and watching the number on the scale getting lower and lower. Have ya'll ever noticed in the P&I where Dr. S explains the series of questions when he is evaluating new patients? One of the questions is: "are you greedy?" isn't that interesting? Why do you think he asks that, and what would your answer be? Just curious! Also, do you think there is a "right or wrong" answer for that?
Nothing much goin' on around here! I have several errands to run today so I don't have much time to post but wanted to give a quick update.
Thanks for the comments yesterday Monica, Shelley, Mary and Winston!
Have a great day...the week is almost half over...oh yeah!!!

VLCD #30 "1-2-3-.4 c'mon HCG gimmie, gimmie more!"

Release: 1.0
R3 Release: 16.2
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: tea w/stevia
S: 1/2 orange
L: catfish w/ 3/4 c. broccoli (E: aspargus) 1 Tbls freshly grated parm cheese
S: E: 1/2 grapefruit, J: 1/4 c 1% cottage cheese
D: chili w/ 1 egg (the usual)
3 L water, 2 c tea w/stevia
We'll take it! So that's a pretty cool number huh? 123.4! Ed pulled a 1 pounder...so hopefully today will be the last day he's in the 230's!
So we have a "new plan!" Our vial of HCG is getting low (maybe about 6 injections left). We want to go as long as we can this round without mixing a new batch so we've decided to skip our injections every other day starting today. Since the HCG stays in our bodies for 3 days I'm thinking we'll be fine...we shall see! Ed really wants to get to 220 this round and I originally wanted to be in P3 by my birthday (on the 1st) but I started thinking about it and realized... wouldn't it be cool to have a few extra pounds lost and have my b-day be my LIW! P2 is really no big deal to us...even right now there's not one thing that we're craving or wanting in P3 so we'll keep on keepin' on! According to my handy dandy calendar and calculations if everything works out as planned we have 11 days left which will hopefully put me at 116.8 for my LIW (if I can keep up my daily average of .61 lbs a day). Ed will for sure be down to 220!
I know ya'll are probably thinking "spare us of the details woman" but it's important to "put it out there" and make a plan! So there it is!!!
In response to our buds:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Travelin' Biz- Yep, no worries on the gain-I knew not to worry but it still makes me mad to see a gain (you wouldn't understand since you don't gain in P2-lol). OMG, I didn't even realize we'd be leaving when you are returning...oh my!!! I'm going to miss you....
Marrray- So glad the crazy weather didn't hit ya'll! P3 is all about the cheese-I am looking forward to it but I think losing a few more pounds will taste better than any cheese! OMG, I've been eating the fresh parmesan cheese on my veggies and it's soooo good! Have you tried it yet? It kind of feels like a cheat! Ed has once again committed to "being good"...uh huh!
Oh CB- You funny, funny girl! There's just something about R2P2 that SUCKS! Don't you worry your pretty little red head (lol) about it! Like I said, next round will be your round okay? You can do it girl...God knows if we could do (with all the deviations) YOU CAN DO IT!
Becca- What's up ski bunny? Thanks for always sending us your love...you're the best! Hope that vitamin C flush worked and you're feeling better. Please, please take pics for us in Park City okay? BTW, where are ya'll skiing (what resort)? We also plan on taking lots of pics in Mexico and we'll get an underwater camera so I can share pics of the "underworld!" Then it will almost be like you were there scuba diving with us okay?!
Ya'll know how much we appreciate you right? Thanks for always checking in on us and being a part of our lives! Love ya'll!
Have a terrific Tuesday!

Today: 231.6
Release: 3.4
R3 Release: 15.2
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: tea w/stevia
S: 1/2 orange
L: catfish creole w/canned tom. and 1 Tbls freshly grated parm cheese
S: J: 1/4 c 1% cottage cheese
D: chili w/ 1 egg
2.5 L water, 2 c tea w/ 1 Tbls h&h
Well what's going on ya'll?! How are our buds doing? I have no idea where my slight gain came from other than the fact that I have the "signs" that TOM is on the way....ahhhh! No biggie, I did measurements today and this HCG stuff is workin!!!!!
So I've been doing a lot of research about different diets and which ones are resulting in the longest healthiest lives. Well it's no surprise that diets rich in fruits, veggies and very little red meats are the healthiest. We all know about organic and the benefits of organic but sometimes it's not always possible (or affordable) to buy organic. I buy everything that I can organic but I do wonder what foods can I buy that don't necessarily need to be organic. I found this great website that has a list of the top 43 fruits and vegetables and the different pesticide levels. Please take 2 min and look at this info:
http://www.foodnews.org/
Interesting huh?! Want to know something else?! They did a study where they took samples of mother's breast milk and they found that the mother's that eat red meat have 31% more pesticides in their breast milk than mothers that eat a raw fruit and veggie diet (non organic). I know, do we really want to know that? It is recommended that we only eat red meat once a month! I'm not one of those freaky people that push my ideas onto anyone but I thought ya'll might appreciate the info.
Today starts another great week of P2 in Protoland! Next week at this time hopefully we'll be wrapping up this round and bidding it farewell. I did notice hunger last night which is unusual (another sign of TOM).
Time to respond to my buds:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La, La Mary- Oh Marrray, Jennay is great! I miss P3 too but actually P3 is more work-we are on "auto pilot" right now. When I go to the store I have the same foods that I buy and I don't even look around! OMG, yes we got tons of rain...scary! What about ya'll? And how you doin' Miss Thang?
Shelly- I know aren't I an angel (wink, wink)! Ed will do fine on the next round(s) without me as long as I keep him locked up in the house and I make all of his meals. It's going to be interesting him doing it without me-I'll be giving him his shot and then, ooops none for me hon! Maybe I'll have him still give me one every now and then so I can still feel part of it-LOL!
Monica- DO NOT feel bad for Ed...men are kind of dumb and they never learn their lessons, that's why they need us ladies to "help them along!" Yeah, he lost almost the whole gain today so he's happy. I don't plan on doing another P2 but who knows! I really do expect this to be my final round, HALALUJA!!!!
Lili- Tiny? I guess I am getting there but you know how it is-we see ourselves as we always have and I do my best to talk positive to myself. I am very, very grateful that we have had such great success with this protocol. How you doin' anyway?! Love ya Lil!
Bizzy Poo- Well you know your goin' have to be the one to whip Ed into shape when ya'll do your next P2 together you’ll be his "sudo wife" okay?! LOL! Have a wonderful trip Biz, be safe!
Oh yeah, a couple of you have asked about Mexxxxxico! We are leaving April 1st-11th! We are staying at an all inclusive hotel where we plan on scuba diving, golfing, eating, drinking (and no not in that order). Thanks for asking (I just didn't want to rub it in)!
Happy Presidents' Day!

Ed:
Yesterday: 231.0
Today: 235.0
Gain: 4.0 (is that a record gain or what?!)
R3 Release: 11.8
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: tea w/stevia
D: J: 12 crawfish, 3 beers, 1/2 beef strip taco (1/4 tortilla)
E: too many crawfish to count with butter, too many beers to count, potatos, corn, 1 beef strip taco with tortilla 2 L water
Now isn't that interesting?! We ended up meeting up with some friends last night and they suggested going to a restaurant that serves crawfish...uh oh! I knew I had to play it safe so I was a good girl and Ed....well, he was Ed! I hate to be one of those nagging wives that tells their husbands what they should and shouldn't eat but I did give him the "look" twice. First when he was eating the butter with the crawfish and then when he was eating the potato and corn. For those of you who have never had crawfish they always come with small red potatoes and corn that have been cooked with the crawfish and spices...it's soooo good! I picked up the potato for a second and then put it down-phew that was a close call!
So we ended up staying out late and on the way home got hungry so that's when we stopped at the taco stand and got the tacos. I was really scared to weigh in this morning because we ate so late but...all is good! I'll happily take my .2 loss but poor Ed....he gets so weak! I asked him if this was just a party or does he want to lose weight or what's the deal? His only response is "my head isn't in it this round" um, ya think?! Good thing I have a stock of HCG because at this pace he has another 2 rounds to get to his goal!
Regardless, we had a great time! Our friends were so sweet and complimented us all night (which always feels good)!
So we are going until our HCG runs out which is on or around the 1st! My b-day is on the 1st and I was hoping to be in P3 by then so we'll see! Our LIW was going to be in 9 days but I don't know now! This is my last round and if we need to give it a few more days then it’s no big deal. We really don't mind P2 as ya'll know you just get used to it! I found our "sweet spot" and plan on sticking to fish/chicken and beef.
Well that's that! I missed my buds yesterday. I have internet on my phone so while we were driving I was checking blogs but was not able to comment so I'll make my rounds today!
In response to comments:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marrray- Looks like the beer diet worked huh?! What did we start-OMG! I'm curious how your day went yesterday...did you do it again? Buddy boy....like what do I do with him? I guess I'll just keep beating him-LOL!
Biz- Awww, I missed you too! Too bad today I couldn't pull another 1 pounder but goodness I should be happy to have any loss huh?!
Crystal- The things you write...ROFL! You know I think Ed is the worst one out of any of us bloggers...really! All of us are kickin' his butt, and he was so macho (he has since been humbled). Queso is Ed's fav too and me...I like my little Italian fling too! OMG, the Stuffed Chicken Marsala is what I always order at Olive Garden-oh me, oh my! Sluuuurp! We can't wait to meet ya'll too! We have our cruise booked and we hope the time flies...it seems so far away! Love ya girl! Thanks for always crackin' us up!
Hope ya'll have a nice relaxing Sunday!

Marrrray- So I'm wonderin' how your night went...did you do the beer diet? Thanks for the b-day wishes to little Missy! I know what you mean about still testing things I still feel like it's my first round sometimes. Seriously I'm still learning so much about this protocol and feel like I still have so much to learn.
Biz- Sanx sweets! Sounds like you got some good, solid sleep and look at you pullin' a 1 pounder this late in the game-unstoppable Biz we wouldn't expect anything less from ya!
Shelly- I know, do you think I'm a "little" into all this or what? I have dreamt about Biz too-LOL! We will absolutely meet up one of these days. Ed and I are traveling fools! Thanks for the info on the "Water to Wine" too cool!
Hope you all have a great looooong weekend! Thanks for checkin' on us!

Mama is kickin' Daddy's bootay! Ed didn't lose anything again...and he swears he "didn't cheat!" I'll happily take my 1 pounder loss. Now if I can just keep up the pace I'll be to goal in no time!
Lame-o post today! Not much goin’ on. We will be "out and about" today we may possibly be going out to dinner tonight-no worries!
In response to my friends-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marrrray- So I'm wonderin' how your night went...did you do the beer diet? Thanks for the b-day wishes to little Missy! I know what you mean about still testing things I still feel like it's my first round sometimes. Seriously I'm still learning so much about this protocol and feel like I still have so much to learn.
Biz- Sanx sweets! Sounds like you got some good, solid sleep and look at you pullin' a 1 pounder this late in the game-unstoppable Biz we wouldn't expect anything less from ya!
Shelly- I know, do you think I'm a "little" into all this or what? I have dreamt about Biz too-LOL! We will absolutely meet up one of these days. Ed and I are traveling fools! Thanks for the info on the "Water to Wine" too cool!
Hope you all have a great looooong weekend! Thanks for checkin' on us!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: tea w/stevia
L: E: 3 beef tacos (1 tortilla) J: 1/4 c ff cottage cheese
D: 3 glasses of wine, 1 king crab leg
2 L water, 2 c. tea w/stevia and 1 tsp h&h
Oh our night was great my friends!!! The only mishap was the HUGE card that Ed got me fell over and knocked off my vase of flowers and my favorite vase broke! If ya'll only knew Ed, this is very typical! We always joke that he's like a "bull in a china cabinet" it was actually quite funny! Like he always says "we'll buy another one!"
So I lost .6 and buddy boy stayed the same. He knew to not eat tacos but claims he was "so hungry"...I'm so beating him this round!!! Well Biz has got me all thinking about stuff-damn her! I have really been focused on 115 and then I changed it to 118 as my goal and then she started asking me why I am set on a number. Dr. S says to go until your abnormal fat is gone and your become ravenously hungry. Hmm, I really want to be done by my b-day on the 1st! We shall see....
Onto my blogg buddies:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regina- If there is anyway ya'll can come to Dallas we would love to meet! If all else fails we could meet in between Tulsa and Dallas! Oh let me know, that would be so fun!!!
Biz- Eww, you're always messin’ with my mind! I guess I'm not counting anymore...you are absolutely right about what you said (as always)!
Monica- Our husbands are very similar...I tell you that all the time! Right down to getting us tatts for our b-days! We got us some good ones huh?!
Becca- The chocolates...um I put them in the freezer, I hid them! They are those delish Ghiradelli carmels...evil!!! Becca your daughter is 34? OMG, did the time fly or what? I look at how fast 8 years have gone...oh my!
Smacmo- OMG, you were in my dream last night! Is that funny or what? I will go to your blog to tell you about it...it's really funny! And what water wine place? Oh you need to fill me in on that one girlfriend! To answer your question-we were skipping our injections on Sunday's but now since we did the planned interruption and have 11 days left we are just going straight through not skipping any days. You know that the immunity issue may just be a theory right?
Marrray- My funny little Mary! His sis is really excited and I really hope she's going to do this! I know she doesn't know what she's in for and I hope to God she is ready! I told her she needs these few weeks to focus on what she wants and determine what her motivating factor is because it's not easy...remember how it was on R1P2...OMG! That first week Ed and I thought we were goin' die-it's really funny looking back on it! We were so addicted to our comfort foods! Yes, my adorable Marinne (Ma-rinn) is 8 today-she said when she woke up today she almost forgot it was her birthday...aww, she is so adorable (and looks just like me)! ;)
Sorry for the late post today (it's Biz' fault)! I'm on my way to check on my buds!

S: 3 bites of fat free cottage cheese, 1 strawberry
3 L water, 3 c. tea w/stevia and 1 tsp h&h
Ask and you shall receive! Ed's sister called yesterday saying she keeps thinking about how much weight Ed and I have lost (she was with us this past weekend) and is ready "to do whatever you and Ed are doing!" HA! Granted this is the sister that said "there is no way I could do what ya'll are doing" and the same sister who said we "inspired her to go to the gym"...so her wheels have been turning! Oh I love it! We will be heading to Dallas (where she lives) for Easter and I told her when I get there I'll bring everything for her to start. Then she starts saying "no, I want to start NOW!" Isn't that funny?! I sent her the manuscript and the poor thing is just going to have to wait. People are used to these fad, crash diets and I explained to her that this is something that requires planning around special events and times when there are less temptations. So to say the least we are both excited!
Ahh, it's Valentine’s Day! My sweet Ed came home yesterday with flowers, one of those HUGE cards and....uh huh...chocolates and....uh huh....WINE!!! Ed has the hardest time waiting to give me surprises, even for Christmas we opened up all our presents the night before because he couldn't handle waiting any longer-he's so funny! So today we will be doing our wine diet, sticking to protein only and a couple glasses of wine-yummy! I'm to my LIW today so it took me 4 days of make up to get where I was before the planned interruption, not bad! Ed is almost there.
In response to my peeps:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lili- OhLili, I hope you feel better today! Thanks for hearing me sista! Hey, ya know sometimes a little "misbehavin" can knock the bug right out of you...LOL!
Mary Moe- LOL at your comment! My favorite people are the ones that think they know everything about the medical field...NOT! Have you ever noticed how much people talk about themselves and everything they "think" they know?! They like to talk and talk and talk when they are cluessless, clueless and clueless.
Smacmo- The egg with the chili....YUM! What a nice change, thanks girlfriend!
Becca- You are so sweet! Um your suggestions with my MIL are great but now I have the best punishment for her for NOT wanting my help. Now her son, daughter and me are all going to be struttin' our stuff and she's bound to come around-who cares, I got my first convert!
Monica- What's up girl?! Are we on the same page or what?! We are now facing the issues of "well how are they going to keep it off?" Remember Biz' post the other day? Yeah, let them just "watch" us like we are watching them get bigger and bigger! Ahh, thanks for the compliments!
Oh Biz- You want me to spank you? Biz, that's not a punishment and we both know that! You don’t need to comment to me every day but I always like it! :)
Hope you all have a nice day today! Valentine’s day is lame (I was in labor on Valentine’s Day having my daughter 8 years ago) and since then I don't associate it with anything fun! Wait, we are having wine...hell yeah it'll be fun! We have 12 days left until LIW (but who's counting)?

Phew, getting back down again! So I'm feeling good and back to normal today! I'm not even mad at one single person and I don't give a damn if people are fat and don't want my help-so there!
That HCG is some powerful stuff huh?! Yesterday was another day of cravings and hunger but by the end of the night we were feeling fine. I think of Lili and that song "I want my H....C....G!" LOL. I have mixed feelings about the planned interruption. It felt like we had to start all over again like the beginning of P2 (with cravings and hunger). We are doing our best to get "psyched" for the next 13 days...we can do it!!!
Onto comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- Yes, Dawn's post was very good to read and I understand that people have their own issues and not everyone wants to be Hot Mama's like us! ;)
CB- See, you did what I was about to do with my MIL! Good thing my MIL was upfront at the beginning before I did all the work-then I would've really been mad and bugged! We had to do this alone too and I think because of that is why we are all determined to make this work ya know?! Oh CB I just love ya, and you can take up allllll the space on my blog!
Becca- Our Protoland missionary...I just want one convert, just one! I know it will happen-eventually! I just have to keep being the little shining example that I am-LOL! Oh and the whole Park City idea-WE FRICKIN WISH! I'll shoot ya an email! Oh and thanks for your compliments, I'm blushing....me and my peek-a-boo shirt!
Regina- You know how much I love you but I hope you know how much I appreciate your love and wisdom! I'm not going to offer ANY help to her...she can keep on eatin' them Cheetos!
Liz- Hey you! Welcome to our blog-thanks for stopping by! You are so right-I really appreciate your comment. I need to go check on you today!!!
Smacmo- What's up neighbor? It's good to know that you all can relate with me! The best is that Ed tells people that "we aren't allowed to exercise on this diet" he does it to mess with people. If I was obese and needed to lose weight that would music to my ears! Thanks for your visits!

D: chili (5 oz beef, tomatoes, spices)
4 L water, 3 c. tea w/stevia
We are happy to see the losses! I hope it doesn't take us all week to catch up to where we were before our weekend "Edventure!" I know we did the right thing and if it sets us back a few days so be it!!!
I'm feeling a bit frustrated this morning! I got an email from Ed's Mom (who had previously expressed interest in doing the protocol) saying that there is "no way" she can afford any extra expense to lose weight. We want nothing more than to help our loved ones lose weight and be healthy!
So, I don't know what my lesson is! I am so excited about this protocol and see it helping so many people but yet nobody (in the outside world) has taken us serious when we say we can help them lose weight! Even this weekend Ed's sister looked at me and said "you have just inspired me....I'm going back to the gym on Monday!" I'm so passionate about this and I feel mute in a world full of obese people who don't care enough to change their lives! It makes me sad for them. Weight loss is not about being in a size 6, it's about becoming the best you and because you are investing so much into your life and body you will reap many, many physical and emotional benefits as we all know!
Once again, I'm grateful to associate with all of you, WINNERS who don't make excuses!
Today I have to give another group shout out! THANKS for the comments, ya'll are the best! I've learned if we ever need a boost I just log on and get connected to my peeps!
Have a great day friends!

D: eggs (1 whole egg & 1 egg white) 3 bites of cottage cheese, 1 pickle
2 L water
Yesterday was our first day of no injections and we were hungry! I mean there's no way the HCG could be out of our system but wow, I wanted some food! No loss today, but ask me if I care! NOPE because yesterday was the day "4" me!
It all started when I hit my 40 lb mark yesterday (to the ounce)! Then we decided to go get my wedding ring resized because it was so big (and stressing me out). Ed lost his wedding ring on Christmas day because it was so big (his diamond not cheap ring mind you)...ewww! Anyway, they measured my finger and OMG my finger size is a 4!!! So it gets better. We both wanted to go shopping to get a couple of new outfits for our fun weekend (since nothing fits). Well I started grabbing size 6's with hope. I started trying them on and holy hell they were too big! I was thinking "no way" I ran out and grabbed 1 pair of 4's put them on as fast as possible-they fit in the legs, past the bootay, up the waist and viola they zipped and buttoned up PERFECTLY! I yelled from the dressing room to Ed "come here, OMG" he was so cute and was thrilled for me. I don't remember being a size 4 (maybe once)! I had to try on 2 different pairs and styles just to make "sure" and yep, I'm a freakin' size 4!!!
It doesn't get any better than that 4 me! I had my moment yesterday! Everything that ever seemed hard or a sacrifice while doing this protocol made it all worth it!
Today we are going shopping for Ed. I'm also going to go get my hair cut. It's to the middle of my back and I'm ready to chop it off (it took 2 days to convince Ed) but I'm doing it!!!! I'm going to have Ed take pics tonight so ya'll can see my new hair and my new hot pair of jeans! I'll post them tomorrow.
So really, it's not all about the # on the scale. I would never think I could weigh 125 and be a size 4 and honestly I could stop now and be thrilled! We are going until the end of Feb. so we both can drop that extra 10 lbs and then Ed will start his R4 in April!
Ya'll are probably thinking "whatever you Bee-o-tch" but it's all good! Thanks for being a part of my "moment!" I can't wait to be apart of all yours....don't stop, you are worth it, a moment like that IS WORTH IT!!!

Crystal- Thanks for the love sista! Being from Utah I never even heard of crawfish. The first time I saw them I was freaking out. Ed started peelin' and I started munchin' I love them! He used to have to peel them for me but now I am a champ crawfish eater-I can eat me some crawfish!
Biz- Okay I'll take the heat eaither way, I won't blame you! I can't imagine a gain this weekend especially if I make sure and not eat sugar/starches...we'll see! Are you jealous yet? I'm going to call you when I'm on my 5th beer....HA! Then we'll see how good those green beans are-LOL!
CB- Our sweet little CB! I will drink away your problems okay, that's just the kind of friend I am! Hope today is a little brighter and less stinky for you!
Regina- It's been hard to keep up with me? You are doing great...I think your #'s are better than mine! Thaks for being my little cheerleader...always! Love ya Regina!
Smacmo- Hey girl! See your learning...I had someone ask us "so where do you get your steroids from" after that I decided, to keep it our "little secret!" Of coarse this Dr. surpervised (wink, wink).
Lili- Oh Lili, nothing like a good belly laugh first thing in the morning, you always keep me laughin! I wouldn't recommend using any lines Ed uses-I'm alway having to smack him! As I've mentioned before I grew up in Utah so I know...the cold sucks! I'll think of you while I'm chillin' in my beach chair k?! Sorry Lili!
Okay so today is another exciting day. I'll be chopping the hair like I chopped the fat! I'm so excited! Hope you all have a great day too! Thanks for always being here for us!

Yesterday was our first day of no injections and we were hungry! I mean there's no way the HCG could be out of our system but wow, I wanted some food! No loss today, but ask me if I care! NOPE because yesterday was the day "4" me!
It all started when I hit my 40 lb mark yesterday (to the ounce)! Then we decided to go get my wedding ring resized because it was so big (and stressing me out). Ed lost his wedding ring on Christmas day because it was so big (his diamond not cheap ring mind you)...ewww! Anyway, they measured my finger and OMG my finger size is a 4!!! So it gets better. We both wanted to go shopping to get a couple of new outfits for our fun weekend (since nothing fits). Well I started grabbing size 6's with hope. I started trying them on and holy hell they were too big! I was thinking "no way" I ran out and grabbed 1 pair of 4's put them on as fast as possible-they fit in the legs, past the bootay, up the waist and viola they zipped and buttoned up PERFECTLY! I yelled from the dressing room to Ed "come here, OMG" he was so cute and was thrilled for me. I don't remember being a size 4 (maybe once)!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: nothing
S: J-apple
L: scallops w/ baked tomatoes and fresh basil
D: tuna w/ mustard and cucumbers
J-2 L water, Ed-2 L water
Wow, it’s Thursday already?! We almost made it another whole week!
So guess what? No, we didn’t deviate yesterday! We have decided to take a very short “planned interruption” this weekend. We have a friend/family beach party on Saturday with one of our favorite treats…boiled crawfish! I was thinking that we could be strong and just eat a “few” crawfish and a couple of beers and probably be okay then after some discussion with Biz (I’m mentioning her because if this doesn’t work I’m blaming her) we decided that since this is a special occasion and we would really like to enjoy ourselves it’s better to be safe than sorry! So yesterday was our LIW, we will do VLCD today and tomorrow then on Saturday…oh yeah, P3 baby w/crawfish dipped in butter-oh yeah! So on Sunday we will resume injections and VLCD. We are so excited!
"If you want something bad enough you'll find a way...if you don't, you'll find an excuse!"
Onto comments:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- Our little lab rat! It's okay you just keep rubbin' it in....all your little "tests" guess who is having crawfish baby!
Fattycakes- I know what you mean about this protocol becoming a habit. We are so used to it that even during P3 we feel "off!" Yeah, I've learned NOT to tell people that are just "asking" actually I have only told a couple of family members and it was waaaay over their heads! This weekend we will see many friends that we haven't seen in a long time so it will be interesting to see what they say! Ed likes to say "we shoot up!" LOL
Crystal- That was soooo funny! The crack, the Big Mac-shoot your funny! I don't know what Ed's thing is with the Mexican food...he loves the queso and chips. Now that we get to indulge a little this weekend I'm hoping he'll be "good" the rest of the time!
Wendy- Thanks girl! I know the scale is going down, I'm grateful but goooodness! Yeah, Ed is a great sponsor-NOT!
Becca- Oh you know I'm OCD so thanks for pointing that out! I guess it would've been more appropriate if I wrote "sloooooowly but sllllurry" thanks Miss Spellcheck!
Mary- Another one who pointed out my mistake! Sorry, Ed LOST 2.2 yesterday! I know it doesn't take much to confuse you...LOL! You and your Coca Cola-Maaaary!
Hope you all made it through the crazy weather and storms! Have a great day LOSERS!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: E-coffee w/ stevia, J-nada
L: chili (hamburger, canned tomatoes, spices)
S: 1/2 grapefruit
D: J-baked fish w/ broccoli, E- shrimp w/lemon, strawberries for dessert
J-4 L water, 2 c tea, Ed-1.5 L water, 2 c tea
Another day down...YES! You know what the secret to life is right?! You make sure you go to bed each night and then make sure you wake up the next morning!
Wow, it seems like the days are just flyin' by and the pounds are slooooowly but surely going. Every single ounce matters. When we were all at our heaviest I wonder how much our daily/weekly gains were. Can you imagine if we would've tracked that like we do our weight loss. Ounce by ounce and then before you know it...bam, welcome to chub town!
I truly believe what Becca said about getting so involved in this protocol that it becomes your life. There is so much to be said about support and how vitally important it is to have the encouragement and wisdom of others. It's the same with AA (I haven't done it, even though ya'll may think we need it-LOL) but they have a "buddy system" so they always have someone there to support and encourage when times get tough. We have a such a great community here and since starting our blog we have an entire new appreciation of the rewards this HCG journey has given us. Every aspect in our life is better, wait it's better than better, it's wonderful! So thanks team (Together Everyone Achieves More) for everything!!!
Talk about support...in response to the 10 comments...sheesh!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crystal- Your little "flub" cracked me up! Wouldn't it be funny to see what we really write without proofing and spell check-oh my! We are looking forward to the cruise as well, too bad it's so far away! Hope you are doing good...
Wendy- Oh, I've really been thinking about you! Thanks for stoppin' by and giving encouragement to us, you're so sweet! I'll be checking on you k?!
Biz- Like what do I even say to you that I haven't already said?! I'm just wondering if anything will make you stall this round! Are you ready to try the beer yet? Come on be bad, I mean really baaaaaad!
Mary- Yep, half way...phew! I don't know what's goin on with your buddy boy he's just...well, he's Ed! He's all feeling excited because of his big loss today! The only problem with this protocol is he knows that he will lose all the weight he wants even if he cheats! Like today, wham 2.2 lbs gone! So have you been dreaming of Coca Cola? LOL
Winston- Thanks for stopping by and for the very level headed encouraging comment! Not even a hint of sacasim! If I could get Ed to be as good as you, well...I won't go there!
Lili- OMG, I'm still only "almost" to my 40 lb loss! Ed hit is 50 lbs today! Thanks for always checkin' on us sweets!
CB- And how you doin?! Wow, I didn't even think about that-we did lose the amount of an (anorexic) Super Model! Okay, and did I read that right? Ed and I are a "fine example" LOL! You are so sweet and I guess I need to accept the compliment because really we have done good! Thanks CB!
Becca- Ed and I are really good at finding the "loop hole" in everything-but like I say...do as we say (I mean Dr. S says) not as we do...unless you wanna have fun! We'll think of somethin' to get your hubby on that cruise and this protocol! There you go, all of us fine chicks can gang up on your husband, men aren't hard to "work over" ya know?!
Smacmo- Thanks for stopping by (did you put your shoes on yet)? YOU are the one who is kickin' butt Miss Danskin! I'm so impressed!
Regina- Ed as of today has me beat by 6 oz...dhope! It's okay I know he'll cheat again and then I'll be ahead once again-LOL! I "think" we will go the full 40 days even though you and Biz are bailing on me. Yes, this will be my last round...how exciting is that?! And NO Ed won't be able to handle another round without me that's why Biz is going to take my place. He will be starting again when Biz does (and she's much meaner than me)!
Thanks for all the kind words! Right back at cha! Big losses today....have a great one!

Ya know what? There's a really good chance I'll make it to 115 afterall! Especially if we do a full 40 days, so we'll see!
In response to my fan club-

Crazy Mary- Still had a loss girlfriend! Stupid TOM, always messing with us! I read somewhere last night that women really only have 1 week a month that is normal. The other 3 weeks we are dealing w/ ovulation, PMS'ing and TOM! It gets so old! Thanks for keepin' me laughing, I think you are almost as crazy as me!
Bizanator- I'm doing it girlfriend! Thanks for your support (always) and the yummy recipes! I know I always tell you, but I wanna be like Biz! I still can't believe you hit your goal already! WTG!
Crystal- Whaaassssup girl? We are a baaad example, but who cares! You all wouldn't expect anything less from the McNairs! 30 lbs? You can do it!!!!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia (Ed)
L: grilled chicken
D: J-2 glasses of merlot, E-3 Miller Lites
3 L water
Yep Wine and Beer! It’s all goooooood! I was happy to see a loss today-even though I know sometimes when you deviate it may not show up until the following day. I weighed myself again not too long ago and saw 125.8! I’m not taking that weight because it’s not my normal weigh in time but that was a great number to see and I can’t wait to see it again “for real” this week!
So last night we looked at pictures of ourselves before we started the protocol-OMG! It’s amazing how you can gain and gain and not really notice-until you see a picture! We decided to take more pics last night and the changes are remarkable! After looking at my pics I started to question if I should stop at 120 lbs. I am happy with the way I look now and if it all ended today (which it’s not) I would be proud of my accomplishments- the hard work has paid off!
Ed still has another round left and has been having a harder time this round than the other two, so if we did end sooner than the 40 days he’d be thrilled!
So we’ll see! I just mixed up a fresh batch of HCG and we should be good to go for as long as we decide!
Onto to my support group-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girliegirl- What’s up BFF? Thanks for everything girlfriend! Today is D-day for you…can’t wait to see how you do! Welcome to P2 (again) we can do this…I’m here for ya!
Smacmo- Hey, thanks for the visit! Yeah, I’m getting over this whole number on the scale issue. Shoot I don’t have any clothes that fit and that’s the fun part! Hope you’ve recovered from your “wild weekend!” LOL
Regina- No worries…taking those pics and comparing did me soooo much good yesterday! I’m trying to be calm and level headed like YOU! No webcam yet…but I will! You and Biz can’t use yours until I get mine-SORRY!
Mary- Yeah, yesterday was a bad/good day! It’s so funny how you pick up on my vibe! I love ya Mary! Ya know how HCG messes with TOM? I think I am being hormonal and Ed was buggin’ me yesterday because he wanted to go out! We “compromised” on the alcohol! I take myself too seriously sometimes and I need to learn to live life a little even when I’m on the protocol! Like you, Miss Krispy Kreme!
Lili- Thank you sweet Lili! You are another very level headed, wise example! Thanks for your encouraging words, always! Can you give me your email? Email me at je_mcnair@yahoo.com!
I can’t believe I waited to start my blog on my last round…I wonder how I ever made it the first 2 rounds without ya’ll! I’ll still be blogging for P3, P4 and when Ed starts his next round-so no matter what, I’ll be here for you all too!
Have a goooooooood Monday!

R3 Release: 15.2
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia (Ed)
L: grilled chicken
D: J-2 glasses of merlot, E-3 Miller Lites
3 L water
Yep Wine and Beer! It’s all goooooood! I was happy to see a loss today-even though I know sometimes when you deviate it may not show up until the following day. I weighed myself again not too long ago and saw 125.8! I’m not taking that weight because it’s not my normal weigh in time but that was a great number to see and I can’t wait to see it again “for real” this week!
So last night we looked at pictures of ourselves before we started the protocol-OMG! It’s amazing how you can gain and gain and not really notice-until you see a picture! We decided to take more pics last night and the changes are remarkable! After looking at my pics I started to question if I should stop at 120 lbs. I am happy with the way I look now and if it all ended today (which it’s not) I would be proud of my accomplishments- the hard work has paid off!
Ed still has another round left and has been having a harder time this round than the other two, so if we did end sooner than the 40 days he’d be thrilled!
So we’ll see! I just mixed up a fresh batch of HCG and we should be good to go for as long as we decide!
Onto to my support group-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girliegirl- What’s up BFF? Thanks for everything girlfriend! Today is D-day for you…can’t wait to see how you do! Welcome to P2 (again) we can do this…I’m here for ya!
Smacmo- Hey, thanks for the visit! Yeah, I’m getting over this whole number on the scale issue. Shoot I don’t have any clothes that fit and that’s the fun part! Hope you’ve recovered from your “wild weekend!” LOL
Regina- No worries…taking those pics and comparing did me soooo much good yesterday! I’m trying to be calm and level headed like YOU! No webcam yet…but I will! You and Biz can’t use yours until I get mine-SORRY!
Mary- Yeah, yesterday was a bad/good day! It’s so funny how you pick up on my vibe! I love ya Mary! Ya know how HCG messes with TOM? I think I am being hormonal and Ed was buggin’ me yesterday because he wanted to go out! We “compromised” on the alcohol! I take myself too seriously sometimes and I need to learn to live life a little even when I’m on the protocol! Like you, Miss Krispy Kreme!
Lili- Thank you sweet Lili! You are another very level headed, wise example! Thanks for your encouraging words, always! Can you give me your email? Email me at je_mcnair@yahoo.com!
I can’t believe I waited to start my blog on my last round…I wonder how I ever made it the first 2 rounds without ya’ll! I’ll still be blogging for P3, P4 and when Ed starts his next round-so no matter what, I’ll be here for you all too!
Have a goooooooood Monday!

VLCD #18- Who cares what the scale says...
R3P2D18
Jennifer:
Yesterday: 126.4
Today: 127.0
Gain: 0.6
R3 Release: 15.0
Ed:
Yesterday: 232.5
Today: 231.6
Release: 0.9
R3 Release: 15.2
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia (Ed)
L: grilled chicken, salad w/mustard dressing & chopped apple
S: 1/2 grapefruit
D: alaskan cod w/baked tomato
3 L water, 1 c dandelion tea
I don't know what's going on and quite frankly I don't wanna "go there!" My patience is being tested! There's no explanation for the gain and I don't want to drive myself crazy trying to figure it out! I was wondering what this round was going to be like being this close to my goal and after reading Biz' blog I'm wondering if 115 isn't realistic! I'm going 40 days or until I feel hungry the way Dr. S says! It's not about the numbers, it's not about the numbers...one more time, it's not about the numbers!
Ed is doing great and as of today he is ahead of me! My man is lookin' good too! It's really fun doing this together and watching our bodies change, we feel like we are with new people!
So yeah, that's that!
Onto comments:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiiii Maaaary! Okay only YOU and my Mom are allowed to call me Jenny! Yep, any loss is a good loss....whaaaaaaa! Ed's been whining all morning because he wants to go to a Super Bowl party. I may have considered it if I would've lost something today...WHATEVER!
Hey CB- You are so close, stay strong! LOL about chewing gum all day-I hear ya!
Bizzy Biz the therapist- Time to reevaluate the SMART goal! We knew this would be an interesting round for me! Do you know of anyone else who is on their last round almost to goal weight? At least I can be happy for you on the days you lose and I don't (can you see my poking my tongue out at you)?
Crystal- Glad to have ya on board! I can't think of a better reward than a cruise! So what's your goal this round?
Becca- We would love to have you go! Hey, we have plenty of time to figure out how we can get you there! What's with these Men? Ed thinks I'm crazy for wanting to lose more...remember this whole discussion awhile back? Yeah, and they say we're "high maintenance?" They are the ones with the issues! I don't remember in the marriage vows agreeing to "obey" his commands on where my weight should be, do you?
Funky art chick Lili- Yeah, I'm not really into the whole Super Bowl thing either, just the food! Any day is a great day to shop! Wonder how your load day is goin...I'm thinking about downin' a 40 just to get back at the scale-LOL!
Monica- Hope you had a great Birthday! Um, I "was" ahead of Ed! :( I have purposely not told him that yet and I don't plan on telling him until he asks! Gotta keep him on his toes ya know?!
Well, until tomorrow....

Lili- Oh, and you better be goin' on that cruise! Don't tease us...
Monica- The strong one! Think about the cruise...we would love for you to be there! I want to meet you! Onions, yes I do stall from them! I remember that from last round but ya know how this HCG makes you lose your mind? Hope you have fun this weekend, you're awesome!
Mary- OMG, "just joshin" I used to say that! You and your sweet little comments everyday, always here for us huh?! You're the shiz Mary!
Crystal- What's up stranger? Yes, you also need to go on the cruise...can you imagine the fun! Thanks for asking about the seasoning! I went and looked right away. Looks like it has no sodium but yes, it has carrots and starch in it! I didn't use much, but don't plan on using it again! Thanks so much for the heads up! P2 VLCD starts tomorrow? Come on already!
Super Bowl weekend...stay strong my friends!

Yesterday’s Menu:
B: nada
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: baked chicken w/ s&p & Mrs. Dash Chipotle seasoning
S: apple
D: catfish w/grilled onions (thanks to Biz' help, I remember I stall when I eat onions)
3.5 L water, 1 c dandelion tea
Well so much for my "test!" I know, I know...my body is "playing catch up, I'm "still losing inches," "it's just water retention"... does any of that help? NOPE, well kind of! I really want to hit my 40 lb mark this week and I'm only 2 measly pounds away! Ed is only 3 lbs away from his 50 lb mark! I love HCG and I know it's working, I just get impatient! I'm still happy though-this has been a great week! Hey, we've gone 4 whole days without deviating-LOL!
Funny Biz' blog today was about mental catchup! It really isn't about our weight or what the scale says, I mean come on! Through this protocol I have found my treasures...all of you! I know I'll get to my goal so in the meantime I need to remind myself-"the JOURNEY is the Reward!"
In response to my girrrrrs:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- Thanks for being here for me...always! I'm a basket case huh? It was a great week...thanks for reminding me to not sweat the small stuff! Does it get old being the "camp counselor" for all of us?
Mary- Yeah, I "was" losing! Your buddy boy is being a "good buddy boy" and still losing! Hey, I'm still beating him, I mean-I'm still winning!
CB- Did I sound happy? I am happy, I'm even happy today! Funny you can "read through" the blog huh?! I could feel you too-hope you feel better sweets! Experiment-shperiment-too bad it didn't work! I'm going to try Biz' exact menu today! :)
Dory, I mean Wendy- That was soooo funny! Ed calls me Dory all the time-"just keep swimming, just keep swimming!" My goal...115! 12 lbs left! "Just keep swimming...."
Regina- You brat! We ate the same menu yesterday and you LOST! Good thing I love you so much! Btw, good job!
Becca- Ahh, cute story...I would carry around a Dory toy too if I had one! I love the grapefruit with the Stevia, it is yummy huh?! You weigh at night too? I'm going to start doing that! Last night I weighed the same as the night before and I thought "uh oh" interesting I weighed the same today! Wonder how you did yesterday-Mrs. slim and trim in your turquoise shorts!
Okay, before I forget I need to invite you all on a cruise that some of us are going on November (10-15). It was actually set up by Harmony on the HCG Forum. It's in celebration of our hot new bodies! We need to start having HCG conventions, and this can be the 1st annual!
Here is the link with all the details-check it out! Don't try to get out of it, because YOU ALL are going!
