R3P2 VLCD Day 9- Wrong Way Woman...

(Last round LIW on 2-21-8 = 151.0)
R3 P2 Starting weight on 4-7-8 158.2
Yesterday's weight 153.6
Today’s weight 154.2
Overnight gain of 0.6 lbs

I gained .6???? OMG. I guess I did a little too much taste testing when I was cooking this weekend. I feel really bloated today though and feel as if I'm retaining water. No real deviations but I did taste the food I was cooking a few times. So NO WORRIES. I am sure it will even out tomorrow and that I'll be down again.

Oh and check this out, I'm at Trader Joe's today buying apples and a lady next to me said "have you ever tried grapples?" And I'm like WHAT? Evidently they are a cross between apples and grapes. She said that when you cut into it, there was an immediate aroma of grapes and it tasted just like them too. She said they were heavenly and addicting! But expensive too, from what she said. Okay sounds interesting, but is this something that is actually safe to eat? How messed up could it be? So has anyone else tried them or do you know anything about them?

LO is still doing great. Another 1.5 down! She is cooking with gas! She told me today that she feels that me helping her with her meals has made a big difference for her on this round. She was struggling last round and I don't think she was getting the right amount of protein or calories. So my pre-made soups have been making it a lot easier for her. I'm glad I could be of assistance. Now I should just be doing so well! I think she's down about 9 pounds now and is going to be going to Mexico in a week or so. Hurray for her!


I'm going to try something different tonight and have a glass of wine instead of my apple. Wish me luck!

I'll let you know how I do tomorrow. Happy losing to you all!

Marygirl, yes it was yummy. I'll definitely have that again!

Biz, I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you just saying to watch for any symptoms that might indicate we need to stop? Because that's what I was trying to say. We'll be watching for extreme hunger, weakness or dizziness, headaches or any other signs that seem like something isn't right. After what happened to Jennifer, I think we are all the more vigilant for any out of the ordinary occurrences... (And she still does have some excess fat on her tummy area, so she may not keep losing weight per se, but she still has some contouring and redistribution to do...)

Hey B, it looks like I'm giving you another chance to catch up! We are teeter tottering around each other! So go, go, go! And make me catch up to you!

Becca, it probably is just water. Are you drinking enough? I mean WATER...not wine! LOL
Just Keep on keeping on!

Hey Becca. Yes Grapples have been out for a few years now. I have seen them at trade shows for at least the last 5 years. They are definitely safe,as the produce industry is monitored heavily by the USDA.... but IMO they are not worth the expensive price tag. They are basically an apple infused with grape juice. They smell really grapey, which I guess is enticing to kids. But my experience has been that kids will eat a "normal" apple just as easily. I don't want to discourage you from trying one for yourself though. People must be buying them or the produce departments wouldn't keep stocking them. Produce buyers are definitely commodity driven, and this is a value added product. So they must be doing something right.

Hope the wine worked! :)

Don't worry too much about the gain. It will flush out. Maybe drink a little more water to help flush?

Grapples? Sounds like something out of a cartoon, ha!! Do let us know how the wine worked out for ya!!

Yeah, that is what I was saying. THe thing with Jennifer is that she kept waiting for the hunger to return, and it didn't, so we cannot count on that being the all end to the protocol.

Grapples? Have to look them up.

I need to get some of your recipes for pre made soups, I have a problem child I am working with that keeps telling me every excuse why this isn't working for her. And hunger is the biggest thing.
