R2P2D14

Down another 1.6 lbs, I am not hungry and finding that I am only eating one meal a day and sometimes the second fruit in the evening. I am not sure if this is due to the fact that it is so hot here and I am so thirsty so I am drinking tons or if it is the HCG. I can't decide if I am going to do a break on day 21 or go to 40 days, I miss eating some foods and would love to have an ice cream cone, or snow cone but I really want to be below 300 by my birthday in August. So here's to hoping that I can stick to protocal and the weight keeps coming off.

R2P2D13

I haven't been good at sitting down and logging my weight, so I am going to catch up
Day 8 -3.2
Day 9 -1.5
Day 10 + 3.6 (I had 2 cheat meals both at the Olive Garden)
Day 11 -4.3
Day 12 +2.5 (I ate brownies and candy at work)
Day 13 -6.8
I am so glad to have had a great loss since I haven't been following plan the way it should be followed. I am averaging about a 1 lb a day so far so I will take it.

R2P2D7

Down 1.9 from yesterday, I am finding that this round is harder for me then the first, not that I am hungry but I want to eat what my family is eating. I have 2 cheat meals and this isn't like me as well as a few diet cokes. I need to really focus and get back on plan so here is to hoping that I can do that for this week.

R2P2D5

Down 2.2 lbs today finally the scale moved I am so glad. I am going to a family event today I am going to do my best to stick on plan but I am not sure how it will go. Last time I did this I packed my food with me, I don't feel like doing that today I will make good choices but I would like to be able to eat what they are having.

R2P2D4

Ok the scale didn't move again today, I hate when this happens to me. I will be on protocal today and drink more water and see what tomorrow brings.

R2P2D3

The scale didn't move at all today, I think it is because I had a diet coke last night at a training, and I didn't go to bed till after midnight. I was working on work items and cleaning house. I am hoping for a better loss tomorrow and that I can drop some weight.

R2P2D2

Down 3 lbs from yesterday, I am so glad that the numbers are going down. I spent alot of the night in the bathroom I forgot how much I went to the bathroom while being on HCG for the first week. I am hoping that my body does like last time and it is only bad for the first couple of days. I know it is alot of water weight that I am losing but my ankles and calves have gotten larger due to the water from the diet coke, so it will be nice to get rid of that again. Life is going well and I wasn't hungry so the HCG must be in my system. Here's to hoping the scale continues to go down.

Round 2 Start

Ok I am going back on today, I ended up gaining some of the weight I had lost, I do believe that alot of it has to do with stress and the way my body handles stress. My job is up the air as our contract is up for bid and the company that got it is dealing with another company that feels they should have gotten it, so one day I have a job, the next day who knows. My work is the worst for treats there has been so much chocolate consumed in last month, that I am sure Hersheys Chocolate stock has been going up. Life with my foster daughter is up in the air if we are going to do a trial home placement and how all that will play out. My husbands truck started on fire as he was driving to work for no reason what so ever, and my baby keeps spiking a fever of over 103-105 she has been tested for the swine flu twice and both times have came back negative. While I was at work someone hit the back of my SUV so I need to deal with insurance on that as well. We aren't sleeping at our house either so I have had a few diet cokes this past week, (I know bad) My LIW was 319.6, I went up to 329.8 this past 10 days and couldn't get it to back down with high fats, low carbs, even with clean eating so I did my 2 gorge days and am starting at 332.8, I am hoping that I can drop down to my LIW in a week as I am tring to avoid stress, tring to find a better way to deal with it. So heres back on HCG, I will take my measurements and post them this week and I am taking pictures this round as well (not sure if I will share those) So here is to a great 40 days and hopfully 30lbs gone.

Phase 3 Day 8

Today the scale is reporting 321.3 my LIW was 319.8 so I am over 1.5 but still within the range of ok. I haven't had to do a correction day yet but I am sure I am close to doing one. I have struggled with the new foods and am not sure if I have eatten enough or enought fats, I am still tring to figure it all out, but I am sure I will get the hang of it. I do think Phase 2 was much easier even though I got bored with the foods I truely felt like I was in control. I haven't been hungry on Phase 3 so it has been hard to eat enough, I have found that I do like nuts but everytime I eat them I get a belly ache and have nightmares at night so not sure if I should be avoiding them. I have had egg salad and I LOVE it I could eat it every day. I have actually found that I do like vegetables, what a shock!!!.
I am going to the movie today and I will have to have Popcorn as I LOVE popcorn and I don't think I can go to the movie without it, so I will have to wait and see what the scale says tomorrow in regards to if I can eat popcorn and maintain.

Phase 3 Day 1

Ok I took my last shot yesterday today is the first day of the 72 hours without HCG. I am ready for a change of food but also worried about how I will do. I am happy with the weight I have lost and I will do another round in 6-8 weeks.

Phase 2 Day 33

End of week 5 only 7 more days till I go off HCG, the scale moved today down another 1.2 lbs. I didn't make my weekly goal of a 5 lb loss that I was hoping for but I didn't gain any either. Here are the results since I started it is nice to be able to see the change and watch the numbers go down.

I am ready for some new foods and hoping that I can follow the diet all the way through the next phase with great success.

Phase 2 Day 32

Down another .9 lbs I will take it, as long as the scale keeps going down I will be thrilled. Tomorrow I will measure and give total numbers since the beginning. Come on body give me a great number for tomorrow.

Phase 2 Day 31

Down another .3 from yesterday, I am a little sad I really wanted to lose 5 lbs this week and so far I am only at 1.7 lbs so I don't think I am going to make it. I will keep doing the diet and stranger things have happened, here's to hoping the scale loves me tomorrow.

Phase 2 Day 30

I am down another .7 as of yesterday. I will say that today is the first day that I can really see a difference, I pulled out a pair of pants that didn't fit about a month ago and low and behold they fit and are actually loose. I was so happy, I only have 10 days left or I will go untill the rest of the HCG I have mixed up will go as I don't want to mix another one as I will be close to having a break. I will be glad to have some different food and to be able to eat out once and awhile. I also miss lotion and pedicures!!! I know I can do it and make it till the end, it has been a crazy journey.

Phase 2 Day 29

Down another .5 today, YIPPIE!!!

Phase 2 Day 28

Ok the scale didn't move at all today. I did have a lot of salt yesterday and I am not sure if that is why. I did drink 5 litters of water but the scale didn't move at all. I am hoping tomorrow that the scale is nice to me and moves in the downward direction.

Phase 2 Day 27

Down .2 today I will take it, anything that is going down I will take. I am getting tired of the food but I don't want to change things as I don't want to stall and spend all week getting were I need to be. I would love to be down 5 lbs this week so I will have to wait and see. I am feeling like I have more energy so I may start doing some walks in the evenings with the kids, just slow and not that far to see if I can make this weight melt off.

Hope everyone had a great Mothers Day!!!

Phase 2 Day 26 End of week 4

Today is the end of week 4 on HCG and I am down another 1.8 lbs from yesterday. I really think my body needs the 200 dosage to drop weight, when I was doing the 150 dosage I wasn't dropping weight as well and I seemed to stall for most of the week. I will do 200 this week as well and see if I continue to drop more weight at a good pace. I am down a total not including loading weight of 27. 2 with loading weight I am down 29.1. Here are the results from the start of doing HCG.
Weight 327.2 Total weight loss of 29.1
Neck 14 3/4 Down 1 1/4 inches
Upper Bust 46 Down 6 inches
Middle Bust 52 Down 3inches

Well that is the news for the end of week 4 I will keep staying on protocal as the results are AMAZING and the inches as well as the pounds keep comming off.
Have a great Mother's Day!!!

Phase 2 Day 25

Down 1.5 today, I was at a work meeting all day yesterday and then doing some Peer Parenting things so my day was booked. It was hard to sit through meeting with my work as the chocolate kept being passed and all the yummy food that kept being placed in front of me. I stuck to protocal but it was so hard, I don't miss all those foods but when ever one else is eatting all that junk, it sure makes me feel left out. So I am so glad that scale was nice to me today and is showing me that sticking to plan is what I need to do to get this weight off.

Phase 2 Day 24

Down .5 lbs today

Phase 2 Day 23

Down .9 I will take it.

Phase 2 day 22

Today I am down another .5 lbs, I would have thought I would have lost more as I am only eatting one protein, 1 fruit and 1 veg a day but no such luck. I haven't been hungry at all and have been drinking lots of water. I may need to up the food to make my body drop more weight, I think I will wait to to see what tomorrow brings. Other then that life here is the same old, same old. I am starting to get bored with the the foods that I can eat, but I only have 18 days left till I move onto the next phase so over 1/2 way there I am hoping to dr0p at least 40lbs.

Phase 2 Day 21

Down .4 of a lb. I am glad the scale went down, I didn't eat all that I could have yesterday I only had 1 meat and 1 Veg but did have 2 fruits, life was crazy. I did think that that scale would have went down more since I had consumed so little calories but I do think my body takes 2 days to drop so maybe tomorrow I will see a good number. I will take this as a weight loss as I didn' t gain or stall. Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

Phase 2 Day 20

Today nothing, yes nothing. I am ok with this as I had a great drop yesterday. I have followed protocal all day and got in lots of water. Here is hoping that the scale moves tomorrow in the downward fashion. (I had to clarify to the scale to go down in number)

Phase 2 Day 19

Ok another week has come and gone and I am still doing the HCG and having results. Who would have thought, I am glad to see the scale move today and YES it moved in the downward fashion. :)!!! I was debating last night if I should do an apple day, but my body or scale must have gotten scared because it was 2.1 lbs and yes I weighed more than once. As this is Sunday I will post my results since the start, I love to see that it is actually making a difference I hope to be out of the 30's by the end of the week.

I have lost a total including loading 23.8 lbs, not including the loading weight 21.9 lbs.

Weight 332.5 Total weight loss of 23.8
Neck 15 Down 1 inch
Upper Bust 47 Down 5 inches
Middle Bust 52 1/2 Down 2 1/2 inches
Lower Bust 44 Down 5 inches
Waist 47 Down 5 inches
Hips 66 Down 2 3/4 inches
C-Section Line 57 3/4 Down 1 1/4 inches
Thigh 38 Down 2 inches
Knee 18 3/4 Down 2 inches
Ankle 10 1/2 Down 1/2 inch
Upper arm 20 Down 2 inches
Elbow 13 Gained 1/2 inch
Wrist 7 1/4 Down 1/4 inch
Total Inches Lost: 28.75

So that is how things are looking at this point, I will post more next Sunday on how I did for the week, here is for hoping that the scale continues to be my friend and it continues to move downward.

Phase 2 Day 18

No loss today at all, I am wondering if I can't do strawberries I ate them last night and the night before and today the scale won't move. I need to mix more HCG tomorrow and I think I am going to go back to 200 as I did 15o this round and my weight loss has been very little. I did 200 the first 7 days and had GREAT results. I got in plenty of water today, here is hoping that the scale becomes my friend once again tomorrow. I will also measure tomorrow, I am not seeing much difference I am hoping that is because I see myself everyday and that the inches have changed. Well thats all for now.

Phase 2 Day 17

Today I am down .4 I will take whatever I can get as long as it is in the downward fashion. I drank lots of water and followed the protocal to the T I am hoping for a big drop in the next couple of days but for now I will be happy with any loss.

Phase 2 Day 16 VLCD

Today I lost .1 I am so glad I didn't gain as I ate dinner at the conference and the chicken had a herb glaze on it I was so worried that I would have gained, I also ate more than the 100 grams as I was starving I think I ate 150 grams as I was eye balling how much 100 grams was. I was able to pass the warm, yes warm rolls, chocolate brownies and to die for strawberry cake that was 4 inches high. I also ate lunch meat for the lunch on the second day, I have no idea if it was safe or not, I did the best I could have done with what I had.
I looked in the mirror last night and I can honestly see a slight difference in my upper body, it is nice to see small change, I will take what I can get.

Phase 2 Day 15

I didn't weigh today as I am out of town at a conference, I have struggled being here as the food is not 100% on protocal, and I started my period. I feel really hungry and this is something that I haven't experienced yet while being on this, so this is new to me. I am hoping for the best that I haven't gained while being here. I will be home tonight so I can weigh in the morning and hope that I have gotten enough water and maintained protocal as much as I could.

Phase 2 Day 14

Today the scale is my friend I am down 1.1lbs. I am so glad, I am feeling bloated today as it is close to TOM, I am not sure how my body will do this as I haven't had one while being on HCG.
Here's for hoping the scale continues to be my friend.

Phase 2 Day 13 of VLCD

Today the scale went down .4 I am very glad for this as I never thought it would move again. I am hoping that by the end of the week I have lost at least 3 lbs. I have a busy week this week and will be out of town on Tuesday and Wednesday I am really worrried about food and that they will be serving something that I cant eat, I think I am going to pack a cooler just in case I really don't want to stall again and be stuck for the week.

I have also came to the conclusion that crystal light is not my friend I do think it is was made me stall, I am going to do strickly water this week and see if that helps.

Phase 2 Day 12

This has been a hard week for me as the scale hasn't wanted to move but in the upward fashion and then stay stuck their. Today I was down .4 which is the lowest I have been this week. Today is the day I will post how I have done since I started, I have lost a total including loading weight of 19.7 lbs, not including loading weight I am at 17.8 lbs. I am going to list the total amount inches lost from the start so that I can really see how well I have done on this.

Weight 337.4 Total weight loss of 17.8

Neck 15 Down 1 inch

Upper Bust 48 Down 4inches

Middle Bust 53 Down 2 inches

Lower Bust 44 Down 5 inches

Waist 47 3/4 Down 4 1/4 inches

Hips 66 1/2 Down 2 1/4 inches

C-Section Line 58 1/2 Down 1/2 inch

Thigh 38 1/4 Down 1 3/4 inches

Knee 19 Down 1 3/4 inches

Ankle 10 1/2 Down 1/2 inch

Upper arm 20 1/4 Down 1 3/4inches

Elbow 13 1/4 Gained 3/4 inch

Wrist 7 1/4 Down 1/4 inch

Total Inches Lost: 24.25

So I am still not sure how I gained weight in my elbow and wrist but I am so glad to see the numbers going down. From last week to this week I have lost a total inches of 12.25 inches. I have read lots of things that have said that your inches to pounds lost should be within 2 of eachother so I am hoping for a big drop of weight this next week to keep up with the inches lost.
So here is hoping for a great 3rd week on HCG.

Phase 2 Day 11

I am down .4 finally I have gotten rid of what I have gained and also lost some. I am still not hungry on this and didn't eat all that I could have eatten I didn't have 1 melba toast or a fruit. I do find that if I stay busy in the evening then I don't find myself in the kitchen looking for a snack. Well let's keep that scale moving in the downward fashion as tomorrow is the end of week 2.

Phase 2 Day 10

Down .2 so I am close to where I was before I had the random gain. This has been a hard week for me and I have followed the plan only to have gained and then have struggled to take off the .6 that I did gain. I know I should be happy with the 18.9 lbs that I have lost, but it is just hard to watch everyone else eat food that I so badly want to eat. I am not hungry but everything looks so good, it is hard to pass up the treats that are at work everyday, play bunco where they serve dinner and I can't eat and then the donuts that my husband brought home. You would think with my will power I could make the scale go down. So here is to hoping tomorrow is a better day and that the scale moves in the downward fashion. I haven't measured I will do that on Sunday and I hope to have at least lost some inches if I end up not losing an pounds this week.

Phase 2 Day 9

Down .2 but still up from the original gain. Hope the scale continues to go down.

Phase 2 Day 8 of VLCD

The scale was nice enough to move today only down .1 but at least I am not stuck anymore. I drank lots of water today, and gave up Crystal Light (I think that may have been the enemy) I am hoping for a better number tomorrow.
I do find if I can stay busy I don't get hungry and I don't find myself looking for something just because everyone else is eatting.
I do find that nights are the hardest for me, I want to eat what my family is eatting. I can't believe I am 1/4 of the way done with this, I do think I will do another round when this one is completed.
I am truely not hungry on this, and I still can't believe that I gave up Diet Coke.

Phase 2 Day 7 of VLCD

Ok today wasn't any better I did nothing, Yes ZERO I guess I should be happy I didn't gain more but I didn't lose what I had gained yesterday. I have followed everthing to the T except I have drank some crystal light tea, I am wondering if this could be the problem. I am so hoping tomorrow that I move the scale in the downward fashion as I am struggling to keep doing this and not seeing any results. I am not even eating all the food that I am allowed to eat. I usually only do 1 fruit and sometimes I will do 1 melba toast but the rest is what I am supposed to have for breakfast and lunch. I am wondering if my body is in shock or starvation, even though I am not hungry.

Phase 2 Day 6 of VLCD

I gained .6 today, I am not sure why? All I can come up with is I got sun burned a little on my face and neck from the garage sale. I drank 3 litters of water and stuck to the diet. Do you think it could be because I skipped the shot on Saturday? I know I should be happy with how fast I have dropped weight, but I am just a little frustrated when I am sticking to play how I could gain weight.
I am hoping tomorrow is better and that I haven't gained more.

Phase 2 Day 5 of VLCD

Down another 3.6 lbs, I had another super busy day I did a garage sale this morning and then after clean up it was 3:00 before I ate. I drank lots of water and I was suprised to have such a good loss as I got sunburned some, from the reading I have done it talks about not getting sunburned as it will stall your weightloss. I am also using Saturdays as my day to not take a shot, I am not sure if it is in head or not but I was hungry today. Do you think by not taking the shot it could effect you so quick?'
I tried something new last night I was getting tired of the same old items so I did extra lean ground beef with seasonings and put it in lettuce I then rolled them and ate them like I was at PF Changs, they were so good. I miss the crunchy foods that I love like potato chips, popcorn etc. I also miss peas, carrots and corn I am hoping I can do this for 40 days. If I stay busy I do seem to do better.
Here is how I am doing from the start not including the loading weight I gained.
Weight 337.4 Total weight loss of 17
Neck 15 1/2 Down 1/2 inch
Upper Bust 50 Down 2 inches
Middle Bust 54 Down 1 inch
Lower Bust 46 Down 3 inches
Waist 48 Down 4 inches
Hips 67 1/4 Down 1 1/2 inches
C-Section Line 58 1/2 Down 1/2 inch
Thigh 38 3/4 Down 1 1/4 inches
Knee 20 Down 3/4 inch
Ankle 11 Same
Upper arm 20 1/2 Down 1 1/2 inches
Elbow 13 Gained 1/2 inch
Wrist 7 Down 1/2 inch Total Inches Lost: 15
Now how I gained in my elbow is beyond me, maybe my fat is moving downward. I think is great for the first week and I am very happy with it. I read on someone else's blog that your inches and pounds should be the same or 1 away from the other so I am wondering if I am going to drop some more inches here in the next day or two. I will measure again next week and hope to have lost more.

Day 4 of P2 VLCD

Today I am down another 2.6 lbs, I was super busy yesterday I only got one one of the meals in, I drank a ton though like 6 litters. I still can't believe that this is working but the scale is going down in numbers so that is a good thing. Tomorrow I will measure to see if I have lost any inches, because I don't think things are fitting better but I am not sure. I do feel like I have more energy, I am so suprised I have tons of patience and can remember things just like that no brain fog.

Day 3 on Phase 2

Today I am down another 1.6 lbs, I can't tell a difference but I will retake my measurements on Sunday. I was able to stick to the diet and was busy, I didn't eat all the food that I could have. I think for me I need to stay busy, if I am not busy then I find myself in the kitchen looking for something to eat, regardless if I am hungry or not. I haven't missed diet coke, I was out and about yesterday and had to stop at the Crest, I wasn't even tempted by the diet coke I just wanted a large bottle of water. (This didn't even take any self control) I am so amazed.
I am worried I didn't measure the HCG right, because it looks like I only have enough for 2 more shots instead of 4 more, I am wondering if I am dosing at a higher dosage then I thought. When I mix the next batch I am going to have to be more carefull in measuring everything out. I can honestly say I haven't been hungry on this though, so it has been pretty easy to follow. My worry is if I am dosing to high am I going to hit immunity before the end of round 1. I want to do the full 30 days and stick to the diet to the T so that I can hopefully drop at least 30 lbs on this round.
I found that I wasn't as tired today either, and I am so amazed that Ihaven't lost my patience, on other diets I have done I am ready to snap at anyone and on this I feel like the same person not dieting. It is truely amazing that I am eating under 500 calories a day and I feel full and content.

Phase 2 day 2 of VLCD

I am down another 7.3 lbs from yesterday, I am sure most of it is water weight. I made it thru another day without Diet Coke, I am so happy that I haven't been craving it. I have moved on to Iced Tea Peach flavored and I can say I do like this drink. I was more hungry today and ate all the food that I was allowed, I am not sure if I needed the last fruit or the melba toast or if I was just bored. I think I eat when I can't find anything else to do, well I always have things to do but I didn't want to do any of those things.
I am wondering if anyone (Brooke this is you) has found coconut oil and what the difference is betweeen that and olive oil? I drank lots of water today but wasn't in the bathroom the whole day which was nice.
I have found that I do like Spinich, who would have guessed, and I don't miss the dressing. I have become very carefull in my measuring of food and have even made my husband bring his metric scale up from the garage, to make sure I am not eating to much.
So total weight loss to date is 11.1 lbs this includes the loading weight. I will wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Phase 2 day 1 of VLC

I made it thru day one, I wasn't hungry and didn't eat all that I could have eaten I didn't have a fruit or the melba toast. I can't figure out how much of the vegatables you can have on this so I am going to hope as long as I dont go over the calories allowed then I am ok, if you are reading this and you know better let me know. I made it thru the day without Diet Coke (which I am so shocked about) when I drove by the Crest in the morning, my foster daughter said "Miss Beth you missed the turn." I had to remind her that I wasn't going to be going their for awhile that I was tring to just have water. Bless Ciara's heart she said, "you drink water" I am sure going to try. I picked up my son from school before going to get Ciara and my daughter and Corben wanted to know if I had made it without diet coke, he was so proud that I hadn't stopped at the Crest or the Holiday.
My work wasn't so supportive I got asked 4 times if I wanted to go get a drink, I tried to tell them that I was tring to be good and eat better so that I would hopefully feel better. I went to some home visits and came back and there was a maple bar on my desk, they had went to the bakery so they got everyone a treat, I didn't eat it :) I thought about it though, but I really need to put myself first for the first time in my life and really give this 30 days to make a difference in my life.
I felt fine for the most part of the day, except I was so tired by 9:30 which isn't like me, and I didn't sleep great as I kept having to get up to use the bathroom. I need to figure out the water thing, is everyone up a lot at night or do you stop drinking at a certain time.
I weighed this morning and I am proud to say that I have lost 3.8 since load days or 1.9 since the start, I cant decide if I will do the load weight or the first day weight. What are other people doing?
Well thanks for reading and letting me share my thoughts.

Load day # 2

I have to post a day late as I can't figure out how to track my progress so this is about yesterday with today's weight. The scale says 356.3 which is a gain. I am ready to start VLC I feel so sick of all the food that I have eaten, I worry that I haven't eatten enough or that I ate the wrong kinds of food. Giving myself the shots hasn't been bad at all, I just have to not think about it and all is well. All is good other then the sick feeling, but I am hoping that goes away quick.

Day 1 of Loading on HCG

Today is the first day that I have started the HCG, I have done tons of reading and have talked to my OB/GYN as well as my doctor about doing this. I am very nervous about doing this as I work at one of the unhealthest offices out there, their is always chocolate, someone going to lunch and always something to celebrate, everyone has gained at least 20 lbs from working there. I am hoping I have the will power and be able to stay on this without a lot of trouble. I am starting this week as it is Spring Break and I only have to be in the office for 2 days I am hoping when I go back (5 days off) that I will have this under control and will know what I am doing. It took me about 40 minutes to mix the HCG as I was scared to do it wrong, I followed the directions, re-read them and then re-read again. I am hoping I did it right. I thought I would be glad to eat whatever I wanted today but I can't get to thrilled with eating anything, I have gotten used to salad for lunch so when lunch time came I was looking for it, instead I had a big mac and fries and feel sick. I have also had Easter candy with the kids. I took my measurments and they are:
Weight 354.4
Neck 16
Upper Bust 52
Middle Bust 55
Lower Bust 49
Waist 52
Hips 68 3/4
C-Section Line 59
Thigh 40
Knee 20 3/4
Ankle 11
Upper arm 22
Elbow12 1/2
Wrist 7 1/2
I have taken some pictures as well and will post them each Sunday so I can see if there is a difference. I am so excited to begin but also scared. I am hoping I can do this and that I will be succesful in doing this. I am most worried about giving up Diet Coke I love it and have at least 64 oz a day I am going to have to drink water and tea, I am not sure I like water or tea so this will be the biggest challenge.
Well that is all I have to say for today, wish me luck tomorrow is a new day.
