Round 3 VLCD 38/PI/Ph3/JUDDD

So, are you totally confused now after reading today's title line?

Teen Daughter is on VLCD 38: -2.4 Total R3 loss -21 Total NEW loss: -4.4 Total hcg loss: -39. She only has about 1 week left of the VLCD/hcg to get in 21 VLCD/hcg days post interruption.

I am still on my Planned Interruption and haven't weighed for a couple days. I'll transition back into the VLCD/hcg on Tuesday.

Phil just returned from a week of Sharepoint Classes in downtown Chicago. He ate at the hotel or restaurants the entire week. He stuck with phase 3 compliant choices, did a lot of walking, and when he weighed this morning.... he was .4 UNDER his LDW! AMAZING!!! Stable as a rock!

Teen Son has been having problems this last week with his weight really climbing. He has been above the +2 zone for about a week now. I've been doing researching on a WOE (Way Of Eating) called the JUDDD = Johnson Up Day Down Day, or the Alternative Day eating plan. Here is a link to Dr. Johnsons website:

and a forum of people doing this WOE:

I discussed how this WOE works with my son and he wants to give it a try. His Down Day's will start at 500 calories and he wants to eat VLCD style since he is familiar with it. His up days he will get to consume up to 2400 calories based on his current weight, height and age. We'll see how it goes. He thinks that since he gets to eat "normal" every other day that he will stick with the down days. It is worth a try since he is now at about 189.8 pounds and he is only 5'8". He does not have a lot of muscle tone, so he looks heavy and his weight really slows him down. He cannot run and play and has very little endurance for sport activities. He really wants to play foot ball this fall and be competitive. I know if he could get off another 20-25 pounds and build muscle he'd have a great season AND feel so much better about himself. :-)

I let hubby try the Coconut Manna... and he doesn't like it... insert evil laugh.. HEE HEE HEE HAA HAA HAA... it's all MINE! :-)

Have a super day!
