Getting read to start P4

This Thursday should be my last P3 day. I'm so tempted to starting dieting again. It will be hard to add the carbs & starches. But I've been able to correct my weight gain with steak days twice so I guess that's what I'll do if I gain more than 2 lbs.

P3 continues

P3 continues. I'm half way through. I confused as to the max amount of carbs I'm allowed. Is it 50, 25, zero? When I gained back 3 lbs, the steak day (a 12 oz steak, then an apple) reversed it. I though I gained it back this past weekend again but I'm okay today. This is harder than I thought. I am motivated though to continue & again thank drugdelivery.ca for this opportunity.

Phase 3 GAINED 3 LBS

I'm in Phase 3 and I GAINED 3 LBS. I went on a Steak Day. Cindy said a hugh steak had to be at least 12 oz. I cooked one, and ate it as dinner, my only meal, & an apple afterwards. I lost 3 pounds. I could hardy believe it :)

Day 29

I stopped injections last Tuesday after the 23rd shot. I thought I was supposed to keep losing weight & eat only minimum calories. A friend told me how wrong I was. Now is the time to eat about 2000 or more calories but no starches or sugars. I reread Cindy's book because I had no clue what to eat. I find it so hard to eat 2000 calories. I bought eggs, bacon, cheese, nuts, whipping cream. I am weighing out the amounts. I've only gained back 1 pound. This is so interesting & strange.

Finished the 23 injections

Finished the 23 injections & now have only 1 more 500 cal day. Since my goal weight is about 170 or 165, I'm going to keep my calories to about 1650 or 1700 per day. Now I'm starting a 3 week - no carbs or sugars - but add more protein, fats & veggies. The biggest test is to see how I do from 6 to 10 pm. My wife Arlene is continuing & I will be injecting her. It will be interesting to see how she does continuing for days 26-40 ish without me doing the exact same thing. She has more weight to lose than I do & I want to support her.

Day 24

No injection today. I've lost a total of 13 pounds during these 23 days of injections. Yesterday I had some real hunger pains. It has been difficult for me. I'm not sure if I am going to continue although I want to support my wife Arlene. She has stalled for the past week and is planning on continuing for the 40 day cycle. Beginning today she will skip injections on Tuesdays. I was excited today to see how much I've lost.

6 apple day

My weight lost has stalled so I tried a 5 day day between 12 noon to 12 noon. Next day I lost 1.5 lbs. Following day I was up a pound. Overall in 15 days I've lost about 10 lbs. That's about 2/3 a lb per day. I want to lose 20 lbs. My injections are suppose to end this Wednesday but I might take one day off injections and then extend the program until I lose another ten.

Golf Tornament

We went away for 2 days so I could participate in a golf tourament. We brought the HCG on ice and stayed at a time share for 2 nights. Because we had a kitchen, it was convenient to bring the prepackaged food. Ate shrimp & celery for lunch but during the golf tourament, got hungry and tempted :( Ate some trail mix :( Now we're home & I'll weigh myself tomorrow. Prepared mentally to do a 6 apple day tomorrow to correct my slip up. I know I don't want to go through another 23 day cycle so I will try to correct my mistake right away. Don't know if it is because I'm 72 but I am finding some days to be very hard. I am determined to lose the weight.
