VLCD 6 - 159

1.5 down!!  OK, that’s more like it!

More than likely, the extra sleep I got helped a lot…!  However, yesterday I was hungry and I ate extra protein.  Went to bed with a full glass of water because I got hungry late, too.  Woke up hungry.

So, today may be a bit of a challenging day in that department.  But, I know the tricks, I just have to stick with them.

VLCD 5 – 160.5

WHAT??  Only .5 today!?!

I was spot on with 500 calories and I did my walking at lunch yesterday.  I’ve also been on the cusp of hungry, even with the higher dose of medicine.  I think it’s because I didn’t load well this time, and I think it will be better in a couple of days.

I’m surprised at only .5 but then again I’ve been wondering if I might stall out around 160 because I was at this weight for so long before; it’s where I stabilized at in February and most of March.

A loss is a loss, and as of today I’ve lost 5 pounds, so I can’t complain.

VLCD 4 - 161

Down another pound!

I’m not sure that the workout helped with the loss.  A friend of mine says she sees the difference, but even so, last round I was on a “pound a day” track for the first couple of weeks, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

VLCD 3 - 162

Yep, on the way…

Did 25 minutes on the elliptical this morning.  I’m going to continue to work out, as I have been, since protocol says to keep doing what you’re doing.  I’m wondering how that works with setting the hypothalamus in P3.

Like I should worry about that…I’ve gained in between without exercising, let’s try something new.

VLCD 2 - 163

Yesterday I was feeling a bit lightheaded so I had some honey….well, more than “some”…so I’m not surprised that I’m up a bit from yesterday.  However, I’ve dropped the load weight and am lower than where I was last week, so I’m calling it a success!

VLCD 1 – 162.5

Well, I didn’t exactly load very well yesterday, and the whole point of it is to keep from being hungry.

We had a great breakfast of ham, eggs, cheese and French toast.  Yum!  OK, so the French toast wasn’t high fat, but the butter on it was!

Later in the afternoon I ate the rest of the Mediterranean food, and then DH and I were working on some projects and it got so late we didn’t really eat dinner.  I had a late night snack of pork chops and went to bed.

Loading Day 2 – 165.5

Gained 1 pound.

Went out with friends to celebrate birthdays and ate Mediterranean food.  I’m not sure that was especially heavy on the fat, but it was good!
