P3R2 Day... Oops...

Weight: 144.2
LIW +1.4 lb.

I've been bad... So bad... HELP! D: lol

So aside from the fact that I've been a deviant little sh!t since being off of P2... TOM is here in full force. I got sick yesterday morning and had to pee on a stick just in case. LOL But ol' TOM showed up today, so no worries. I think I just drank too much carbonation before bed. Or something.

I'm not out of the 140's though, which is heartening. I have not been this light for years and years. I think part of me coming off of P2 was like, "OK - here we go! Back up to 150!" Nope. No sir. Considering that it's period time, I actually think I'm doing OK. Lots of water, lots of protein... and get my butt over to Boot Camp!

Yes, Biz - I'm omw! LOL

I haven't had to use the Correction Day book yet, thank goodness... But you can bet I've got it sitting right here, just in case. Speaking of which, Biz has an AWESOME recipe for Roasted "Beer Butt" Chicken in there. It's absolutely delicious!

I will check in more often now - sorry for the hiatus. :) Daughter's back to school in the morn' and it's back to the old routine!

P.S. I'll have BF take the R2P2 After pics once TOM has passed on by. :P Toodeloo!

P2R2 Day 39: The End is Just the Beginning

P2R2 Starting Weight 03/01/09: 160.0
Yesterday: 144.6
Today: 142.8 (-1.8!!) LIW R2
Released Since Start of VLCD: 17.6
Total lb. Released with hCG: 37.4 lb.

All good things must come to an end, and what a great Round 2!! I lost almost 20 pounds this round - almost 40 total with hCG. That's about ten weeks' time total, and I have been imperfect in my protocol. Amazing!!

Here is a graph of my R2 progress for all of my beloved data-heads:

My Weight Chart:


And the numbers for both rounds (pounds released - percent of body weight):
P2R1: 22.6 lb. - 12.5%
P2R2: 17.6 lb. - 11%

Wow!! 22.3% of my body weight released in ten weeks' time!!

My last dose was this morning, so I will be P2-eating for today and the next two days (3 days? I'll have to read back thru P&I to make sure... Biz?? Monica?? lol) It feels weird to be done with this round, but I am so looking forward to P3. Meat and cheese! And cheese and cheese! LOL My BF will be relieved that he doesn't have to sneak his snacks around so much anymore.

So I'm already contemplating my next round. I believe that I'm going to do a shortened stint next time, depending on how I feel. I'm also going to up my dose, because I had a pretty rough time with hunger and cravings during R2. The deviations didn't help, though, and one begets the other. R3 should start around the first of May. Then again, I thought I'd be doing another round right after my last one, and here I am 17 months later! :)

I'll be looking into HTA Bootcamp today, and I also got a copy of Biz's P3 Correction Day eBook to help me in case my weight starts to fluctuate. I highly recommend this eBook to anyone going through Protocol - it's chock-full of excellent information, tips & tricks on how to maintain your hard-earned weight during Phase 3 (no sugars/starches) - and best of all, it's CHEAP!



Maintenance can be somewhat of a jungle after the strict P2 diet, and many people feel frustrated and a little lost. If in addition your weight isn't stabilizing the way you'd like... Let's just say it's easy to get a little discouraged. This eBook is a goldmine with specific strategies, recipes and protocol information. 'Nuff said. :)

I'd like to get below LIW just a little for that extra "cushion" just in case. I think that is very possible, given my deviant behavior these past couple of weeks and that enormous drop overnight. Follow-up pics and measurements coming later on! TTYL ~*~
