Happy Mother's Day to All You Moms Out There!

Hi there! Just a quickie note to wish all you moms a Happy Mother's Day!
I am starting R2 vlcd tomorrow Today I am at my LIW of 240 so I am very happy about that!

Today I am going to a BBQ at my sister's. I made potato salad and a spagetti squash casserole to take to the party. My family made me a wonderful breakfast this morning with all the trimmings, so I am loading up just fine! LOL (Wasn't really going to do that, but it seems that is the way this day is going! I will at least try not to eat too much!) So Tomorrow! I am getting down to business with all of you other P2-ers out there!

Becca, I think I will try the interruption on vacation, even though I will be short of the 23 days. I know it will slow me down.... but better some weight loss than nothing, and I will try to keep it to the calories to a minimum while vacationing. With all my trips, I have found that I do ok as long as I east fresh foods and keep the alcohol to a minimum.
Thanks to all of you for the support! You guys are terrific!

I'm Baaaaack! LOL

Hi Ya'll, Well I FINALLY made it home! Wow, I am REALLY tired and really wanting to get back on the program! My last show was in Las Vegas for a week, and it is SO hard to not indulge.... so, of course.... I did!

I just walked in the door at noon today and decided to weigh myself to see in pounds just how naughty I was this week. My 12:00 - noon weight is 241, so it looks like I am up 4 pounds since I left last week and + 1 on LIW of 240.... I guess a few too many corona lights! LOL Oh well, I am back in the saddle and starting my P2 again on Monday! I was thinking about just starting vlcd tomorrow, but I would probably just cheat on sunday for Mother's day, so I guess I will just mini load tomorrow and Sunday and start vlcd on Monday.

My plan is to go 30 days on this round with a goal of losing 20 pounds. However, just before I left on this trip, my sister in Atlanta called me and invited me and my daughter to Jeckyl island for a week long stay beginning the first of June. Jeckyl Island is a remote area off the coast of Florida. I've never been there, but I understand it is lovely. So shoud I try to continue with P2 throughout the beach vacation? or should I try a "planned interruption"? I will have been on P2 for only about 18 days by the time we go. Any suggestions are certainly appreciated!

I hope you all are doing well.... and I plan on making my round through the blogs this afternoon! I've been missing everyone! :)

Off again!

Well I am off again on another trip. This time a trade show in Las Vegas. I will be gone until the 10th, which seems like a long time! Please send me good vibes so that I can maintain again while traveling. I am going to try to keep the same eating habits up.... no sugar no starch seems to work best for me.

I have been busy this week trying to tie up loose ends on my house and make arrangements for the care of my daughter, keep my son on track for graduation and of course work and getting ready for this show. Hopefully, this is my last one for a while, so I can start P2 again when I get home.

Here are my stats today. LIW 240 - Today's weight 237 - 3 during P3 - Total weight loss 27 lbs. Congats to Becca, who has hit the 50 lb mark! That is so awesome! And congrats to B who is now in the 100s - You are doing fabulous!

The Ed and Jenn Show was Awesome!

Like many of you, I watched the morning show with Ed and Jenn. They did a terrific job! And talk about looking fabulous! Way to go guys! Your interviews were great! And Ed, even though he was a chubby kid, the pictures were very cute!

So the loud mouthed naysaying doctor and nutritionist seemed extremely closed minded to me. I can't believe the doctor actually said that gastric bypass surgery is a much safer way to lose weight. HA! I would NOT want to be her patient! I would bet the farm that she and the nutritionist have NEVER had any serious weight problems. I found that interesting that the morning show would have "skinny" naysayers be the debaters against the protocol. I wonder how this will all pan out.

I also ordered a back up stash of hCG, just in case it gets harder to find.

Ok... for my stats. LIW 240 - Today's weight 237 - 3 Hooray for me! I am liking this a lot! I am starting my next phase 2 on May 12. So I have about two weeks til I can really start losing again! My goal for my next P2 is to go 30 days and get to 215 - 22 pounds. I think it's doable. what are your thoughts?

Back Home Again (For a week)

Hi all! Boy, what a whirl wind trip.... and I am tired! California, Georgia and Florida within a weeks time can really screw up sleep patterns. And onlybeing home for a short spell befor the next round, my house is a mess so more work to do! arghhhh!

Well, here are my stats as of this morning. LIW 240 - Today's weight 238.5 -1.5 This is a GREAT thing! Can't tell you what I have been eating because I really didn't keep track and don't remember. Stayed away from starch and sugar, tried to drink plenty of water. I am looking forward to getting back to P2 in May when I can be home for a while.

Thanks everyone for stopping by to see me. I will swing over to all of your blogs and check in with you today! :) Hope y'all are doing well! :)

Woo Hoo! - Under LIW

Today's Weight - 239.5 - LIW 240 -.5 lb

Wow, what an exciting morning. I am actually under LIW. I have been working out with light weights daily and trying my best to eat healthy stuff. No sugar and No starch seems to do best for me. And I have been trying to make sure I get enough water throughout the day. I have not really tracked my menus, as I have been so stressed with my work schedule lately. But what ever... it seems to be working for me right now!

Biz, I signed into the forum under "elizkamb" I believe using the email elizkamb@yahoo.com I haven't been back to check it out. but will try to this weekend. I am in CA for a couple of days so not much time.

Becca - how is your P2 going? I will stop by and see you! Take care all! Bye for now.

Checkin' In

Hi Everyone! Well this morning I weighed in at 241.5 - How cool is that? I am now only +1.5 from LIW of 240. I have been so crazy busy and have just tried to eat good (no sugar no starch) I haven't really been keeping track of calories and just eating when I'm hungry... stopping when I am full and throwing in a few nuts every now and then for a quick pick me up. (I LOVE cashews and walnuts... but try not to over do it)

Biz, I did sign up on the forum... but haven't had a lot of time to look it over. I can't seem to post anything though, so I guess you have to do something for me there. I will try to keep in touch while traveling, but I'm not sure how good I will be at that on this trip... it's kind of whirl wind!

I DO look forward to checking out the "Bootcamp" I am also very excited about getting back on P2... but I am trying to be patient.

Becca, Thanks for always coming by and checking on me! I really appreciate the support. I will be over to see what you are up to soon! I bet you are rockin' on your P2 by now!

Regina, I AM crazy busy right now! There are two seasons that really ramp me up Sales season in late winter /early spring before we plant and then again at harvest in the fall when we are trying like crazy to fulfill orders and ship everything out. Things will slow down in about six weeks. we will get everything planted and then just watch the crops and make sure everything is growing good. I look forward to summer here... It's the calm before the storm!
I will be in Pleasanton this week, visiting Safeway and then another supplier that we work with near Tracy. This is a pretty much in and out trip, then I go to Atlanta on Sunday.

Lili... It's great to hear from you! I hope things are going better. I will stop by and see you soon!
