Yesterday's menu (Nakia)

S: chicken & melba toast
L: steamed string beans
D: chili
water, & 4C Totally Lite 2 Go

I decided to start posting a separate menu for Nakia because since he's putting his own meals together now we rarely eat the same food. I love broccoli so I can eat it every day, but he loves string beans so that's his thing. He did have a rebound .5 gain today which was expected, but he still lost 2.3 lbs over 2 days total so he's right on track. He's only on day 17 and has already dropped over 20 lbs. That's amazing! This is the most he's lost on P2 since he started & he's only 12 lbs away from his goal of 215. He was going to do a 21 day round but now he's thinking about going further since he's so close to his goal.

This is also the most comfortable he's been on P2. He's still working out, but he's not complaining of hunger like he was on his last 2 rounds. The last one was the worst. He almost quit, but my friend biz suggested raising his calories to 700 and that worked to stave his hunger and keep him on P2 for his full 21 days. Now he's thinking of doing about 25 days & he's looking fantastic!

I'm on my snails pace as usual. There is a differnce this time for me as well. I'm not tempted to cheat so maybe I'll lose a few more pounds this time. I also started doing light workouts every other day so maybe that will bring on more losses as well. I'm still going over old weight right now so I'm really motivated to get back to my lowest weight, but the good news is I always seem to end my rounds a little lower than the last so I AM getting there. I'm just taking the scenic route.

Monica - do not even get me STARTED on men and how well they do on this protocol! lol I've been doing a bit of research lately, and it could also be due to the fact that men have so much more testosterone in their bodies, which of course helps metabolize fat and build lean mass. hCG actually stimulates our bodies to produce a little more testosterone, so it just adds fuel to the fire. :) Good for him! I remember the trials you went through before, and it is so much better doing this with someone who is totally on-board.

So... ummm.... have you started looking for an Amie-sized suitcase to take with you to Punta Cana?? ;) lol

Hello you two,

Newbie here...I think its great to have a partner you two sound like a great team. I will have to read your older post to catch up on your progress.

I agree with Amie, its so much easier for men to loose weight even if they are not doing hcg.

Good luck to you post, I will be watching you two. Maybe the two of you will be an inspiration to me and mine.

Thanks for the great post.
