Just dropping in to give the results of our week three measurements!
I lost another 2.5 inches, and my friend lost another 7 inches :-) We are at 18 lbs lost and 15 lbs lost on VLCD #22.
Not bad. It has been a tough week, lol. I am finally finished with TOM, and ready for week four. I have read a lot about the terrible week three, where you get sick of your food, have stalls in losses as your body adjusts, often encountering TOM (if you, like me, start hcg just after your cycle ends) and psychologically reach that place where you decide whether to stop at a short 23 day round, or hold out for 40. So, yes...now I understand, lol. I am no less excited than when I began, but am ready for a fresh and fantastic week four! AND dreaming of P3 and it's expanded menu. Not that I can complain really...tonight is curried chicken and spinach soup. Yum!
We are definitely holding out for 40 days and hoping for our original 30-35 lb goal =-) See you soon!

Steady as she goes!
Today is VLCD# 21 and I am down to 201.6, for a total of 18 lbs so far ;-) It has been a happy October! My friend is holding at 195, but still seems to be losing inches. There is a corrective measure called and Apple Day, I will research that just in case. Friday evening is "Inch Day" or the happy day we measure our inch loss.
My size 12's are fitting comfortably now, and I am feeling hopes of getting into a size 10 by the time this round is over.
Happy almost Halloween everyone. I have a busy weekend planned, but I promise to stop in and update our stats a time or two.

Only 2 more lbs to ONEderland!
The beautiful place where the number on the scale begins with a ONE! It has been an amazing weekend, and I am still in shock over my successes so far. I knew it was going to great, but to feel this good while changing this fast...awesome. Life is good, and getting better every day!
Today is VLCD# 19, and I am down 17 lbs to 202.6, while my buddy is up .2 today, but looking amazing as she shrinks out of her clothes, so who cares about the brief stall, lol!
The good news is, we are half-way to P3, and the rebalancing phase (which will last three weeks.) Then P4 (phase 4) for another 3 weeks. The beginning of round 2 will be near the first of January, so any of you who want to join me for round two can plan ahead!
Happy Tuesday everyone!

From size 18 to size 12 in 16 days
I promised I'd let you know how the shopping went, and there it is. I kept trying on pants, thinking...it's a fluke. But no, my instincts were right, and I am comfortably wearing size 12 now, though they are snug. I'm guessing that they'll be perfect by next week and loose soon after that, lol! I cried a couple of tears in the privacy of my dressing room. Freedom.
I had a fabulous time at my friend Robin's 40th b-day bash, and I even danced...with no alcohol induction! It has been a long time since I felt comfortable enough in my own skin to dance...it felt really amazing!
Today's stats for VLCD# 17: down .2 lbs to 203.8 for me, and down 1.6 lbs to 195 for my hcg buddy. Happy Sunday everyone!

Happy Saturday :)
VCLD #16, and I am down another 2.6 lbs today! My friend is down 3.4 lbs!!! That means 15.4 lbs and 16.25 inches lost in 16 days for me. 15.4 POUNDS and 16.25 INCHES in 16 DAYS!
And for my hCG buddy: 14.8 POUNDS and 18.5 INCHES in the same 16 days!!!!
What more can I say folks?
I am off to the thrift store for pants that will stay on. I only have one pair now!

UNbelievable!
Today is VLCD # 15 and I am down .2 lbs (not bad for TOM.) However, since it is my measure day, I feel compelled to say that I have lost ANOTHER 9, yes 9, inches! That is a total of 16.25 inches of FAT gone in 2 weeks. My friend lost 9.5 inches, for a total of 18.5! UnFREAKINGbelievable!
My size 16's are hanging off of me. I can not be certain, but I suspect I may fit into a size 12 now. I am going to thrift store shopping tomorrow (no reason to spend big bucks on pants I'll only be able to wear briefly, right? LOL!) I will be certain to let you know.
WOO HOO! Happy Friday people. I have to say, I needed this today. I went to the divorce attorney w/ Ivan today to begin the official proceedings. Even if it is right, and necessary, it is still undeniably sad. However, between the tape measure and my great friends who are taking me out to a movie tonight, I am feeling loved and supported. And perhaps just a touch sexy ;-)
