Oh well... false start. When I reminded Nakia that he would have to do 72 hours of VLCD after his last injection he decided to make yesterday his last day because he wants to go to his favorite watering hole on Friday after work... you guessed it... bonefish grille. He has told me that he still wants to eat the same food I've been making on P2, but he'll add more protein. I think he should add some healthy fats too, but he's a little afraid to do that. I'm gonna sneak some olive oil into his food tho... tee hee hee. Oh well, I've still got my friend from work and my neighbor to finish out this round with me.

BTW, My co-worker just joined HTA today. Her screen name is Supasweet. We're going to the Dominican Repulic together in June so we're trying to get our rounds done WAY before then so we can stabilize. I've had trouble with traveling while in the stabilization phase and it never works out for me.

So I finally had a decent loss! I was so happy to see that 1-6-0 something this morning. Now on to the 150s. I think I may have been over thinking my losses so far. After looking over my previous rounds, I am actually doing better than my last P2 by percentages & about on pace with my first P2 which was my best one. I've also gotten this far and haven't eaten anything off protocol once, besides my additions of broccoli, string beans & half & half. I used to get crazy cravings in the evenings that seemed to take over until I just HAD to have whatever it was that I was craving. Peanut butter, chocolate & nuts were my drugs of choice. That just doesn't happen anymore. There is definitely a change in me... now I hope this carries over into my non-hcg life.

Biz - Only the granulated box of splenda measures like sugar. The stuff in the packets concentrated so 1 packet is as sweet as 2 tsp of sugar. I did just find out, through a search that splenda actually has calories. LOOK HERE There are 4 calories in each packet! I had no idea. I've been putting that stuff in my tea like crazy! I'm not going to completely eliminate it, but I'm going start to transition to truvia brand stevia. It tastes much better than other stevias and I think it's better for the body than S&L.
