Alright already! Lets get to 158! 4 days in the 159s. We sure do get impatient with this fast paced weight loss don't we? Well... it'll keep me from deviating... I hope. Nakia made salmon and eggs for dinner last night and I did taste it, but I don't think that counts. I think I found my first P3 meal... that was really good :)

Ok... Nakia is back within his LIW threshold... reluctantly. I made him eat a chicken sausage with cheese last night because he was only at 1400 calories for the day and he needs at least 2200 on his sedentary days. That only took him to 1663 though. He says he was stuffed. Today I gave him salmon salad with TJ's mayonaisse and more chicken sausage with cheese. Hopefully he'll eat it. He doesn't want to stay within the 2 pounds though. He wants to continue to lose so we compromised that he would stay within the threshold this week and next week he could go ahead and lose more weight. We'll see how that works out.

Biz - Yaaay! goodbye TOM. Now you can get down to bizness :)
I'm going to give Nakia a few more fats today, but I don't want him to eat when he's not hungry. That just seems wrong. Hopefully the extra fat will help. Thanks for the suggestion.

Mary - Nope... he's not hungry. He'll eat a very small plate of food and just get full. I think his body really just wants to stay below his LIW, but I just don't want him to be thrown into that starvation mode that Biz mentioned. He doing great though... his P3 is going way better than mine did, that's for sure!

Jan - Thanks so much Jan. Your encouragement means alot. We both really appreciate it.

Becca - Yeah... the girls at work are great... the guys though? HA! They're all jokers, but they all agree that I don't need to get any smaller cus I "look just fine. Here have a brownie." LOL.

What can I say, "Men!!" I'm sure he'll continue to lose as long as he follows an Atkins type menu. He's doing great!!

What's up with our buds over here? Looks like all is well and Nakia is showing ED how to do P3 correctly-you go boy!!! Ya'll are so cute.

To answer your question, Ed's goal is to get to 199. I think he looks great now at 220 but he says he wants to see 199 on the scale (they are just like girls) LOL!


Be patient with your losses-even though they are slight they do add up and as you know-you're losing inches!

Oh yeah and I love your pic-you hot mama you!

Hey Monica, look at you, juggling the p2 and Nakia's p3. I know he knows how special you are!

Still dropping lbs. Yes, those drops do add up. Couldn't do this in months of "diets" that rob muscle and are bad for the metabolism!

Here's to the dip to 157!

Bill is at 5'11" and loving 220 today, but still shooting for 205-ish. He carries a whole lot of muscle, especially those quads of his, so we're going to have to see what the hcg does! Try the olive oil additions for Nakia - it doesn't bulk, it's just calories that are good for him. evo on broccoli, etc.

Yes M, don't fall into the trap of forcing yourself to eat when not hungry. Start giving him some nuts (unsalted macs give a great big bang for the calorie buck) or make him some coconut bark or something.

You? Doing good my friend!
