Oil a pie plate and put in the cauliflower in a single layer. Bake at 350º until dry, about 30-45 minutes. It's ok if it browns a little. Remove from the oven and add the butter. Cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth.

Thanksgiving

Finished Round 2 P2

Today is the day I start my 500 cal with no drops for 3 days and then on to P3. I wish I could go a couple more days on P2 as I am so very close to "ONEderland", yet if I did I would not be loading again on Christmas eve and Christmas, and this I want to do.
I was stuck for days days at a certain weight and I swore that I would never do an apple day as your body will work out the stalls. Will it was getting down to ending phase 2 and my body was not moving so I decided to do an apple day Sunday. I ate 5 apples through out the day. Nothing else. No water, nothing to drink. When I weighed the next morning I lost 1.8 lbs. Broke the stall.
Today I got up and again so close to my goal yet I HAVE to move on.
So, here is my finishing stats for Round 2:

.........Start........ Round 1...... Round 2............ This is the NEW STATS:
Neck: 16.25........... 14.75............. 14.00 ..........................................Loss: 2.25

Bust: 48.00.......... 45.75.............. 42.00 .......................................Loss: 6.00
Waist: 39.75........ 35.50............... 033.50 .......................................Loss: 6.25
Stomach: 42.50.. 39.00 ................39.00 .........................................Loss: 3.50 (I didn't start measuring stomach until later, this is why not a lot of weight loss you see.)

Hip: 50.25 ...........47.00 ...............43.75 ......................................Loss: 6.50
Thigh: 30.00 ......28.25 ...............25.50 .......................................Loss: 4.50

...............Starting....................Round 1.........................Round 2

Total = 67.2 lbs released

Pants Size : Start ................Round 1................Round 2

Can't complain. I have never been this size, yet been in this small of pants. Just two more 3 more sizes and I will be in a single digit size.
I will write again on Friday or Saturday, once I start Phase 3.
Happy Releases, Stabilization and Maintenance to all.

R2 P2 D48

Man, I have been on a stale for a couple of days. Today was a no release, yet no gain day. I wouldn't mind it too much yet I really want to reach my goal by Tuesday. I was looking at the packets of stevia I have, in which I use them at least once if not twice a day and just found out they have sugar in them. Tell me, who would put sugar in stevia??? No wonder there is not bitter aftertaste like they advertise. I have been using this for part of Round 1 and almost all of Round 2. Can we say...slow weight loss? Who knows what I would of been doing if I did not have that. Well, I will not use it again and we shall see if it makes a difference in my weight. Tomorrow is also Saturday and do you know what that means??? WEIGHT LOSS DAY which equals to SLEEP IN DAY! Can't wait. I am getting ready also to try on a smaller size of jeans. It would be wonderful if they fit right now yet I am not holding my breath as at my weight right now, I have never fit into this new size.
So, there you go. What has been happening to me and how I am getting nervous about p3 as last round I had such a hard time stabilizing.
Well, Happy Releases to everyone today. This is well worth it and the best thing I have ever done for my weight problem.
Until next time.

Close to the end

Talk about a trial. I want so bad to be in "ONEderland" by the end of this round, which gets over Tuesday and then I start my 3 days on the 500 cal without HCG. I am thinking it is NOT going to happen. Yesterday I was able to sleep in late and lost 1.4lbs yet today I gained .8ozs. I am at 204.4 today and am holding. I guess if I make it, HURRAY but if I don't then I will make it NEXT round. The whole aspect of this, is I'm feeling better, healthier and happier. This is a life long journey and if I look at it any other way then I will fail again. For the rest of my life I will be on the scale watching my weight, watching what goes into my mouth and why. We need to just keep plugging away and eating right. Sure there are days when I gain (like today) yet I will look at what I am doing...drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, etc. Correct my mistakes and keep moving forward. Since Halloween was this week-end, it really surprised me on how lots of people were tempted by candy. I have NO temptation at all. I still have candy in my house, yet do I want to eat it? Is it worth all my hard work? NO WAY!!! Candy is NOT worth it. This is one reason I love HCG, because I have no cravings and I am in no way tempted to eat the "Junk" food. Keep plugging along everyone. It is well worth it.
Until next time...Happy Releases, Stabilization and Maintenance to you all.
