R3P2 VLCD 17

As of today, I've officially lost 40 lbs! Well, 40 lbs and 2 ounces. :) I weighed in this afternoon at 184.5, and it was a beautiful sight. Last night, I went shopping with the hubby and went to Macys. I picked out 6 tops...1 Large and 5 mediums. Normally, I'd have gone in with a plus size or the biggest looking XL or XXL. Wouldn't you know that all of them fit, and all of them looked good?! :) I bought a really flattering black lightweight sweater with a periwinkle blue design. I even tried on a fitted shirt in a size 12 (which normally would never have fit since my arms and usually gut are so big)...but it fit and looked sexy!

I am still hoping that with 3 injection days left, I can get down to 180. With my period looming, that might be impossible. But maybe not...who knows what can happen? I AM looking forward to some P3 food next Thursday, though. I'll take a 10 dayish break and then get right back on...if I start at 180, I am praying to lose 12 lbs. If I start at 182...14 lbs. I know that as I get closer to my goal weight, and the longer I do HCG without the required break, I might slow down or hit immunity. But I really hope not. If I can get to 165 without hitting immunity, I would be very, very happy. My goal is still 150-155 before the holidays...but that's an ultimate goal. As long as I can get down to 165 or under before the big break, I can live.

We'll see. I've not been hungry at all for the last few days, which is odd but I'm not complaining. Still hoping for a miracle! :)

185 on the dot this morning made me very happy. Wasn't hungry in the least yesterday...as in, didn't eat half my food. 35 lbs away from my goal, and only a week from tomorrow when I get my yummy P3 style eating break! :)

So, down to 186.5 lbs and my belly has gone from 49 inches to 36 inches...that's pretty darned exciting. Only have 6 more injection days this round, and know that the chances of seeing 179 are slim, so I'm hoping for 182.7...that would bring me to a total loss of 42 lbs for 3 months of HCG, and then I'll break for 10 days, and start the next round. Hopefully immunity won't hit. I want to do 2 more rounds, hopefully getting into the 150s, then take my full break for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and go for one more round in January, maybe to get me below 150. We'll see. Trying to play it all by ear right now, but still very happy.

And...I was 189.1 lbs this morning! WOOHOO! I dropped 1.5 lbs last night...that was with 8 bottles of water, 1.5 cans of Zevia, 2 apples, 1 Jello pudding (sugar free), and a sugar free reeses peanut butter cup. 457 calories. My husband thinks I do better when I eat both protein servings and I think he's right!

I started with 75 lbs to lose, and now I have 39 to lose...it sounds so much more manageable that way.

I am feeling good. Beautiful day, beautiful prospects of being skinny in the near future, and ready to tackle the world!
