Ok, where should I start...oh! I know, P2

First of all, it goes without saying I LOVED my load days (aka, gorge days). I wont go into detail to spare those of you on the diet now from drooling over the thought of what I ate, but I will say this...I loaded properly. I enjoyed it, but at the end of the second day, I was ready to move on and start loosing - and that I did! Day 1 on P2 was not fun. I was hungry, had a headache, was grumpy, and felt like there was no way I could do this diet. However, I am happy to report that after two days I was feeling great! Of course I was a little hungry the whole time on P2, but I was not starving and thinking non-stop about food. I also planned to start a few "projects" I had been meaning to get to while on P2, so I was busy. It worked AND I got things done and felt productive! My weight D1 of P2 was 190.4! I hated seeing that number, but the good thing was I knew it was going no where but down! The next day D2, I was down to 187.4!!! My first week on the diet was amazing and I had lost over 8 lbs! I didnt cheat AT ALL! I was very proud of myself for having the motivation and the willpower to do it. I continued through P2, loosing a good amount each day. I would say my average daily loss was .6 or more and throughout the journey I did have a few 1 lb+ days. That was a GREAT way to keep me motivated! My menu was pretty basic (as it always is on P2). I dont eat fish or seafood, so it was a limited menu but it was all I needed AND probably easier for me (being a mom of a young child) that I didnt have to think too much about what I got to eat. Cilantro & tomato Chicken, Beef with sauteed sweet onions, full fat cottage cheese, oranges, apples, celery, cucumber, salad, and meatballs were my menu. The only real "recipe" I used during this phase was the Cilantro & Tomato Chicken and it is just grilled chicken topped with diced tomatoes mixed with cilantro. I was able to find some seasonings that were Kroger brand and didnt contain any salt. Lemon Pepper, Chicken, Garlic and Onion and Garlic Powder were seasonings I used regularly. I WISH I would have read and known that some people can have Chocolate Delight on P2...I would have liked to try that. I love my chocolate! I also had melba rounds (2, 2x per day) and that was nice to feel like I was eating some carbs :) My total results for P2 were over 9" and 22 lbs in 36 days! I LOVED this diet and plan to do another round once I am done with P3 and my trip to Maui in July.
