Started on Round 2 Phase 2

I made it through 3 weeks of Phase 3 and maintained the entire time within my 2 pound allowance. I was absolutely thrilled!!!

I went onto P4 and tried tons of new foods during that week. I did gain but only a little. I didn't really worry because I knew I was going back on P2 in less than a week.

I did a mini-load before my R2P2, mainly just some things at the fair (I was a vendor at a 10 day fair) and a Mexican dinner the night before.

The first weigh-in after my first VLCD was astounding! I lost 4.4 pounds overnight! That took care of my fluctuations from P3, my mini-load weight, PLUS .6 pounds! I must say I was absolutely thrilled!!!

Today I was a bit reluctant to get on the scales after such an awesome first loss weigh-day but of course, I did. I weighed myself 3 times to be sure the scales weren't broken! I had lost another 1.6 pounds!!! So in just 2 days I have lost 6 pounds and 2.2 of them are NEW ones. LOL I am now at 173.2! I am on my way to my pre-hysterectomy weight of 171. Then on to my pre-tumor weight of 161.

My goal of this round is to get to 159. Initially, I was going to 161, which is a set point but with the way things are starting out, I changed my mind, as we women do, and lowered it a couple pounds to get into the 150's.

I plan to do about 4-5 weeks this round and see if I want to go on or take another P3. I do want to be able to have a cheat day for Thanksgiving and Christmas but may just plan the cheat days and stay on Protocol. Of course, plans are subject to change. LOL I will definately do the minimum of 3 weeks of the VLCD though.

I also hope to get by and post in my blog more often.
