Phase 3 (maintenance) Day 7

I ended out my Phase 2 at 269.3. I feel really good that I lost almost 30 lbs in 6 weeks. (I actually lost 30 lbs if you count the highest weight I had while loading...) Now the hard part is maintaining during this stabilization phase. I was up to 271.7 yesterday (Mainly, I think due to lack of movement in the intestines... it took them a while to catch up to the idea that I'm eating a lot more now!), so I did a modified Steak Day like Dr. S described in Lbs and Inches... and came back down to 270.2. Now my problem is I have a miserable cold, and I'll be doing good to get in the number of calories that I need to reset to without gaining... My goal is around 2400 calories.  It seems like a lot, but that is what my body has been using for the last 6 wks, on average. (You calculate that by taking your avg daily loss [# lbs lost / # of days on P2] and multiplying that by 3500)

Day 39 - WOW!!

I've done alright the past few days, nothing earth-shattering, but I've been losing a few tenths of a pound each day. Then yesterday the scale showed a 1.5 lb drop. I was very pleased. Then this morning, it showed a drop of 2 whole pounds!!! This puts me within 7.7 lbs of my original goal for this round, which was to lose 35 lbs. I had resigned myself to only losing about 25 lbs, because I had had some stalls and the weight loss has slowed down, all of which are normal parts of the process. I never expected big drops like this at this stage of the protocol! I am more than happy with this product, with the protocol, and with the support offered along the way. I decided to sign up as an affiliate for the referral program that the company has, because I can even order my next round from my own link and still earn the commission off of it. (Built in discount! lol) I'll post it here so if anyone else wants to find out more or order, you are welcome to, but this isn't a business venture for me, just me sharing my results and my excitement about this great way to take back control of my weight and my life!

Day 35 - Almost there...

Whew! Time flies when you are having fun, eh? Well, in the last 12 days since I last posted I have lost 4 more lbs. I was almost an entire week stalled on the same weight, but according to the support materials, a lot of times that is when the body take time to tighten and repair, or in other words, to shrink those fat cells and lose inches instead of lbs. I haven't measured lately to see if that is the case, but I'll have hubby measure me tomorrow. I'm down to 273.7, which is a total loss of 24.3 lbs in the last month! I had set my goal to lose 35 lbs in the 42 days of protocol, but even if I end up losing only 30 (or even 25!) I will still consider this program to be a resounding success! I'll definitely be doing another round in about 7 wks!

Day 23 - A Slight Stall...

I'm not sure why, because I didn't cheat at all yesterday that I can think of, but today I didn't lose, I gained 0.1 instead. Not a big deal, I'm thinking maybe I didn't get enough water yesterday? Yesterday I was 277.6, today 277.7. I hope that tomorrow will be back on the down slope. :)

Day 17 - Made it through the weekend!

Made it through the weekend!  I didn't have any major breakdowns or cheats. I did have one day where I ate a whole grapefruit for snack instead of 1/2, but I didn't have my veggie with my dinner that day, so it didn't cause me any problems. My weigh in this morning was 281.2. I'm getting really close to the 20 lb loss mark, especially if you count from my Loading high weight of 299.5. I'm really liking this program so far. I can't say my menu's are super exciting, but for the results I'm getting, I consider it a fair trade!
