Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/stevia

D: shrimp w/ 1/2 grapefruit
3 L water, (Ed 1 L water, 2 c. coffee)
Well I was waiting for today's weigh in to know if our "look-a-like steak day" worked! So I've lost 1.6 in 2 days and Ed lost 2 lbs yesterday but nothing today, interesting! I believe he would've lost more if we would drink his water but I can only do so much "reminding" ya know?!
So basically as you saw it on Tuesday, we skipped lunch drank plenty of water and then for dinner had our total allowed protein (7 oz) with an apple. Steak days aren't hard for Ed and I, actually Ed asks for them in P3 even when we aren't above our LIW. The steak day on HCG was quite easy because we really weren't that hungry-it was very "do-able!" With this being our 3rd round we are more open to "testing" so it was great to know that steak days work in P2 too!
So not much of a secret! I'm going to try a little different menu today, another test...I'll keep you posted!
Onto yesterday's comments-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- So do you think Ed had a stall like how JPS has a stall/gain after her "apple day?" Interesting I still lost...hmmm! More testing! So last night before bed I weighed 128.2 (so I lost 1.2 in my sleep) Ed weighed 235.8 (so he lost 2 lbs in his sleep). I never knew we lost weight in our sleep-duh! Btw, can yo see me now...can you see me now...what about now? LOL
Lili- Thanks for the name correction...I was going off of Biz' blog, so it's HER fault! No big secret, and you know if we had a secret you'd be in on it sista!
Monica- What's up girl? Yes, things are back on track! I needed to "get it together" because I have all you peeps to answer too! Thanks for the love...right back at ya!
Mary- I wondered about you yesterday...I'm going to check on you next! Believe it or not we really didn't get too hungry. Don't get me wrong, when it was time to eat we were happy but the HCG this round is really suppressing our appetites. I would say only do the steak day as a last ditch effort and make sure you stay very busy that day! Ed and I thought it was funny you called him "buddy boy!" LOL
Wendy- Oh yeah! Keep the prize in site huh? I wonder what your losses are today. Have I ever told you how great your pics look?
Re-nay-nay- Thanks for the compliment, awww shucks you're too sweet! I keep going back to your #'s trying to compare and your R3 has been amazing! Yum P3....lucky!
Regina- Always there for me huh?! Thank you for everything-I appreciate your friendship so much! So glad our paths have crossed, I just love ya!
Becca- Yeah Biz always voices what I'm already thinking...she's scary like that! I always listen too because it makes her feel like she's the boss! OMG, I just went and looked at your pics! I will do the commenting on your blog but wow Becca, this stuff really works huh?! And yes, smarty pants I do work, maybe even twice a month! :)
Okay, I'm expecting some big numbers from ya'll...btw, is this round done yet?!

“Endurance is the most difficult of all the disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes!” -Buddha
Do you all see each day as a brand new day to learn something from? Do we all realize how much we use to turn to food/drinks to help “escape from the real problem?” Before when Ed and I had “issues” to deal with our way of making it better was to go out and eat! Since starting this protocol we have had to take a good look at things and deal with them without our “comfort food.” It only makes sense…we are going through so many physical changes and it’s only natural to be changing mentally as well.
So it’s another day, new commitments and new attitudes. I feel blessed God gave us another day to learn from! Let’s endure to the end-until we reach our goals, our final victory is waiting!
In response to yesterday’s comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- How do I write THANK YOU big enough so you’ll really know? The student is ready! Biz, it worked…and look…finally 127! I only have to beat my head against the wall 14 times but I do get it eventually!
Wendy- Thanks girlfriend! You know what I’m going through! Yep, after much “discussion” he knows to get the hell out of my way because I’m doing this, I WILL REACH MY GOAL! Thanks for always checking on us!
Lili- Like how do I even respond? That comment needs to be published somewhere! I gave Ed the computer last night to get “caught up” on the comments and after he read yours he said “wow!” We got it all out on the table last night! Thank you so much for the honesty, insight and wisdom! Your comment put so many things into perspective for us! Thank you for sharing this journey with us! Oh, and thanks for the info on the kefir. I’m so into the organics and naturals, I can’t believe I didn’t even know about it! The organic consumer website was too cool! Thanks for sharing; we’ll be all about the kefir on P3!
Renee- Yes come take me away! What do I have to tell you so we could take a girls trip? Stop teasing…could you imagine all of us crazy girls together?! Thanks for the love Renee, you’re my girl-hope all is well (I think you may be eating normally today, yes?)
Mary- Did we make it through yesterday? Hope today is a little brighter…love ya Mary!
I'm on my way to check on all of you! You're lucky in life to have 1 great friend, even luckier to have 2 great friends, so what did we do right to have ALL of you as friends? I cherish all of you and appreicate what you have added to our lives!
Have a great day!

VLCD #13- A good day to be bugged!

Ed:
Yesterday: 235.0
Today: 235.8
Gain: 0.8
R3 Release: 11.0
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: nothing
L: grilled chicken, broccoli, 1/2 grapefruit
D: cheesy chicken onion soup
4 L water (Ed, 1.5 L)
Like why am I doing this to myself when I know I’m this close to my goal? Ed and I had several work appointments yesterday (see, I can “work” too) and one of the appointments we had was at…yep, a damn Mexican restaurant! I even cooked a meal to take with us so we wouldn’t be tempted to eat out-you can see that worked real well. The owner (who bought a sign from us) insisted we eat her famous cheesy onion soup. When she was on her way to get the soup I stated stressing about eating it and his response was “don’t worry about it, and plus she just bought a sign-don’t be rude and eat the soup!” We shared 1 bowl and Ed munched on some chips. As we were eating we started talking about our goals for this round and I expressed that I feel he is always tempting me and that I need him to support me more-this isn’t a party! Well the conversation got pretty interesting. Basically Ed feels I’m at the “perfect” weight right now and doesn’t think I need to lose anymore! Yes, that was a complement and I appreciated that but NO! I know where I want to be and I AM GOING TO GET THERE! It’s about ME and how I feel! I was frustrated with him and angry at myself for not just saying “no” to the soup and so to wake up and weigh myself just topped it off…so today VLCD 13 I’m officially bugged! I need to refocus, take responsibility for myself and stop the insanity! Another interesting thing is I had a gallon of water yesterday and hardly went pee all day so that didn’t help matters!
Oh well, its a new day! I’m still learning! This protocol is more of a mental challenge than anything else. I would have to say I have changed more on the inside since starting this protcol back in August than I have changed physically, I'm learning so much about myself.
As my Mama would always say: "it’s okay-stand up, brush off your knees, put a smile on your face and keep going!"
In response to yesterday’s comments:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- Whaaaaa, today isn't the day for 127! Glad you got a good night's sleep and a loss-yay! Now you can't blame me for your "smaller loss" like yesterday!
Mary- You nailed it...he is trying to sabotage me-but no worries I AM IN CONTROL!
Monica- Thanks for your sweetness-I just love ya! So much for my "non salty Monday!" I'm going to (for the 3rd day) really have a "non salty day!"
CB- Yeah, how about none of us talk to Ed today...LOL!
Renee- The jager thing...I know! Ed was putting the crab in the freezer and found it. It's not something we ever have, he's just a freak!
"The Big C"- That was funny! Glad you'll be joining us on P2, my bet is on you girlfriend!
Becca- Of course I know Sponge Bob...that's why I said it! How tricky of your daughter, too bad the kids get older and don't fall for those "tricks" any longer! Little smarty pants!
Thanks for your support my friends! Ed is feeling bad and keeps saying "I'm not going to do that anymore, I'll support you, I'm sorry...." you know what I say-blah, blah, blah, blah and BLAH! I am in control of ME and I WILL GET TO MY GOAL! I'm almost there!

D: chicken w/cucumber (Ed, 2 grissinis & a shot of jager)
3.5 L water, 1 Pellegrino (Ed, 1.5 L)
See what happens when I say "NO!" My whole plan yesterday was to drink water and as little sodium as possible so guess who comes home with the biggest crab legs I've ever seen?! Uh huh ED! We have some good friends who own a seafood market and he stopped by and loaded up! I had to eat it, I mean how I could I pass up on that? It tasted sooooo salty and I knew that wasn't good but...whatever!
Still a loss for me and Ed has had 2 good days in a row...but I'm still beating him! Just for fun we did the ketosis strips this morning and they were as dark as they can get-GO GET THAT FAT HCG!
Okay, well today is going to be what yesterday was suppose to be...water and low sodium!
In response to yesterdays/today's comments-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- It couldn't have been the tuna, everyone is eating tuna and doing just fine! Yes, my body is playing catch up and I hope I don't sound like one of those anorexic chicks that freak out if they gain a pound! It's just so nice to see that scale moving...let's get done with this already! Your sister WILL get to my weight! Like I say: "if we can do it, anyone can do it!" Our bodies love to be thin and trim!
Mary- Sorry my sense of humor is a little "off the wall" sometimes-glad you got it! And yes, I did measure yesterday and have lost .5 more on my waist-so who gives a damn about that scale!
Becca- Thanks for the compliment...yeah, I have a flame bikini that can't wait to be worn-OMG! Becca, let's not put balls, speedo and my Dad in one sentence EVER AGAIN! LOL! Thanks for all your comments-I think you are as crazy as me!
Lili- Oh, I was wondering about you-are you starting P2 today? I think I just read that on Biz' blog! Yes, tuna and pickles...yum!
Wendy- So nice of you to encourage Ed but he's running his mouth saying he's "going to beat all you ladies" me included! How's your cheating husband doing? Ever since I told him that your husband cheats on the weekends he keeps saying that's what he's going to do...whatever!
CB- Oh, another sweet compliment, thank you! I still see work that needs to be done on this bod but goodness I can't complain-we love HCG! You back?
Thanks for the visits! Ya'll make this so fun!
What?! It's Monday already? Have a good one...

R3 Release: 10.0
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: protein shake
L: 1/2 can of organic albacore (in water) w/organic low sodium pickle
D: bison steak w/lettuce, 1/2 apple and ginger dressing
2 L water, 1 c tea
Well dang it! I'm blaming this one on EweWho! ;) I've seen how a few people have eaten tuna and still lost so I decided to "test the theory" yesterday! Dhope! Looks like it didn't work for me, but Ed had a good loss (go figure)! Here's yesterday's nutritional breakdown:
cals: 400
protein: 68
carbs: 18
sodium: 927 (there's the problem!)
Here's what Dr. S says:
"This can be illustrated by mentioning the case of salt. In order to hold one teaspoonful of salt the body requires one liter of water, as it cannot accommodate salt in any higher concentration. Thus, if a person eats one teaspoonful of salt his weight will go up by more than two pounds as soon as this salt is absorbed from his intestine."
Now if 1 tsp. of salt contains about 2000 mg we had the equivalent of nearly 1/2 tsp of salt which would make us retain 1/2 L water which is 1 lb. of water! Okay, I just made myself feel better-I'll drink tons of water today, NO protein shake and NO tuna (oh it was so good with the pickle though)! I haven't eaten pickles ever on P2 and it's probably not a good idea. So what does this all mean? I do better when I drink alcohol than when I eat sodium so that's the trick for me! LOL
Ready for a good joke?
In heaven God asked for all the men and all the women to form 2 lines-one line was for all the people who have women as the head of their household and the second was for the people who had men as the head of their household. The line with women as head of the household was a mile long and the one with the men as head of the household hand only 1 man standing there! God walked over to the man in that line and was shocked, then said "out of all the men who I have made leaders you are the only one in this line, I make you the example, what words of wisdom can you share with all of us?" The man looked around a bit confused and said "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here!"
Happy Sunday!

VLCD #10- The animal needs to be caged...

Ed:
R2 LIW: 239.0
Yesterday: 237.8
Today: 238.4
GAIN: 0.6 (he's actually happy about that...hmm)
R3 Release: 8.4
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: nothing
L: grilled chicken w/ cucumber (Ed-Mexican, yes AGAIN)!
D: bison steak w/grilled onions (Ed, nothing)
1.5 L water
No complaints for me other than I didn’t drink as much water yesterday. Now Ed on the other hand…today’s weigh in should be interesting (he is still asleep so I’ll post his stats later)! He met a friend at a Mexican restaurant yesterday-SCARY! From what he "says" he ate queso, CHIPS and chicken- oh yeah and a “couple” of beers. Last night he was trying to convince me-“let’s just go as long as possible on the HCG with a few cheats here and there, and it won’t matter we’ll still lose better than if we were on any other diet.” It's like...isn't that what you are already doing?! Whatever, he can do what he wants but I want get this round completed and move on! We have such a relaxed lifestyle and we used to eat out ALL the time. Many of our great memories revolved around food and drinks-wow, has that all changed! Good thing I didn’t start this blog on R1 because I can only imagine how pathetic it would’ve been! It was a total lifestyle change overnight and we weren’t sure how to deal with it emotionally. Ya'll should've seen us, we were a couple of messes! This protocol forces you to take a good look at yourself and your life…we always joked that we were in “rehab.” I have completely changed my relationship with food and each round gets easier and easier. Ed, as you can see we’re still working on it!
So, in response to yesterdays comments-

Biz- We just love your comments! You set the stage for me girlfriend…I kept saying “I’m going to have a R3 like Biz” I think it worked! Ed was all proud of himself yesterday because he drank his “whole water bottle” it’s still only 1 L, oh well-he’s trying (kind of)!
EweWho- 120 when you were 12?! I wonder if you could get back to that weight (not that you would want to). Do you think there is a set point that our bodies won’t move past? I’m going to post some recent pics today too! Thanks as always for your compliments…you are the best!
Wendy- Thanks little Missy! Score on the passport…197 bucks though, dang! I still can’t believe we need passports to go to Mexico! BTW, you’re kickin’ some booty too!
Mary- Thanks as always, hope you had a nice day yesterday!
Becca- I love it…the wine and rose diet, oh yeah and beer! Whatever we’re doing or NOT doing I’ll take it! It is funny though because on previous rounds Ed’s average was around 1.4 a day- this round…let’s see-wow, still 1 lb a day! This protocol is amazing! Like I say "if we can do it, anyone can do it!"
Lili- And Thank You for the compliments! I need to update our pics-I can’t even wear those pants anymore because they are too big-gotta love it! Extra sauce on those ribs…that was great! Yum, I want some ribs! I’m so grateful we found this protocol before we got too out of control. I couldn’t imagine being anymore overweight and then trying to lose it the “normal way.” You’re right there is no excess skin-it’s like my body is reshaping as if there was no extra weight before-I can’t wait to see my pics after this round! Yeah, my Dad wears a speedo too…we tease him but he doesn’t care-what’s with these guys? I would much rather see my boyfriend in one that my DAD-ewww!
Well that's quite the note to end on...NOT!
I hope to have a nice "chill" weekend! Thanks for being here for us!
Jennifer:
R2 LIW: 135.0
Yesterday: 129.2
Today: 128.8
Release: 0.4
R3 Release: 13.2
Ed:
R2 LIW: 239.0
Yesterday: 237.8
Today: 238.4
GAIN: 0.6 (he's actually happy about that...hmm)
R3 Release: 8.4
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: nothing
L: grilled chicken w/ cucumber (Ed-Mexican, yes AGAIN)!
D: bison steak w/grilled onions (Ed, nothing)
1.5 L water
No complaints for me other than I didn’t drink as much water yesterday. Now Ed on the other hand…today’s weigh in should be interesting (he is still asleep so I’ll post his stats later)! He met a friend at a Mexican restaurant yesterday-SCARY! From what he "says" he ate queso, CHIPS and chicken- oh yeah and a “couple” of beers. Last night he was trying to convince me-“let’s just go as long as possible on the HCG with a few cheats here and there, and it won’t matter we’ll still lose better than if we were on any other diet.” It's like...isn't that what you are already doing?! Whatever, he can do what he wants but I want get this round completed and move on! We have such a relaxed lifestyle and we used to eat out ALL the time. Many of our great memories revolved around food and drinks-wow, has that all changed! Good thing I didn’t start this blog on R1 because I can only imagine how pathetic it would’ve been! It was a total lifestyle change overnight and we weren’t sure how to deal with it emotionally. Ya'll should've seen us, we were a couple of messes! This protocol forces you to take a good look at yourself and your life…we always joked that we were in “rehab.” I have completely changed my relationship with food and each round gets easier and easier. Ed, as you can see we’re still working on it!
So, in response to yesterdays comments-

VLCD #9- Jenn is so in the lead...
R3P2D9
Jennifer:
R2 LIW: 135.0
Yesterday: 130.2
Today: 129.2 (what a 2 as the second #? Wow, been a long while since I've seen that)
Release: 1.0
R3 Release: 12.8
Ed:
R2 LIW: 239.0
Yesterday: 238.0
Today: 237.8
Release: 0.2
R3 Release: 9.0
Yesterday’s Menu:
B: coffee w/ stevia
L: grilled chicken w/ tomato, 1/2 orange
D: Jay Robbs protein shake http://www.jayrobb.com/
2 L water (Ed, maybe drank 20 oz that's why his loss wasn't that great)
We were good kids yesterday-I know hard to believe! I'm very surprised at my #'s this round. I remember reading Biz' blog during her R3 and I hoped mine would be as good...so far sooo good!
If you haven't noticed we posted our before/after pics on the side bar of our blog. You can click on the image to enlarge it (if you dare)! It's amazing how just 33 lbs (Ed) and 25 lbs gone (me) can make such a difference. Goodness we were chunky monkeys! Those pics were taken after R1. We forgot to take pics after R2. Now being on R3 I can see even greater results-I will make sure and post pics after R3 (maybe I can sneak a pic of Ed with his shirt off, no Becca NOT a speedo)! ROFL
In response to yesterday's comments:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biz- Sorry, we beat you to it...Don't be mad you know that Ed and I are the perfect candidates to test the theory. You are the HCG leader and have to be a good example-Ed and I on the other hand that went out the window on what VLCD 4?! The whole "girly man" is hilarious! Yes, Ed drinks wine...and he likes it too!
Mary- Don't be a hater-LOL! Come on...drink with us Birthday girl-KIDDING!
EweWho- Ed was cracking up at what you wrote-he's a stud but I am much cuter-LOL! Thanks as always for your sweet comments!
Monica- I would defiantly say we have found what doesn't Not work for us (good way to put that)! No Monica you keep being good and do not do what we do...do what we say! I mean do what Dr. S says!
Becca- Ya know what? Normally when we drink we get sooooo hungry but with the HCG it hasn't made us hungry-alcohol or not! And the six pack-girl you so funny! Don't worry if he loses (which he will) I'll figure something out!
Lili- Interesting huh?! I'm still losing but I shouldn't keep testing it! I keep thinking of the saying "if you don't want to fall of the cliff don't stand on the edge." I have made sure to stay under my 500 cal and drink plenty of water-now Ed's small loss today could support your theory! Ed is really bad about drinking water so I'm sure that was a huge factor. Hope your feeling better.
Okay, I guess that's all! Who knows what's in store for the weekend-would I even dare to try it again? As Becca said which I recommend-just watch from a distance!
Happy Friday and Happy Birthday to Mary she is turning 21 today! ;)
