I Have Been Weighting for You

-.4lbs 11.2 lbs net! I am going to start TOM anytime now ack i feel the water retention in my hands...I wonder how this will effect the scale? I have to say, never in my life did I think I would be drinking iced black coffee with stevia and loving it! today I am going to make chili w/o the beans and see if eating the ground beef effects me at all...they say not to eat American ground beef bc it is too fatty but I bought the extra lean kind...

It is so sad that I have 29 days until P3 and I am already looking at recipes! FYI, P3 is when the VLCD's are over and you eat everything but sugar and starch for 3 weeks before you add sugar back in...lol this even sounds good LOL: SKILLET (PITA) BREAD   Ingredients 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/3 cup yogurt 1-1/2 teaspoons oil 1 cup almond flour   Instructions: 1. In a small bowl and with a fork, beat the egg, yogurt and baking soda. Let foam for a minute or two and then beat in the oil . Add the flour last. The batter should be thick.   2. For each pita make a pancake using 2 rounded tablespoons of batter dropped onto a lightly greased skillet. Cook like pancakes over medium heat. When done, move to plate to cool.   3. Split (like a pita) and fill with your favorite sandwich fixings. Wrap extras and store in the fridge. Makes 3 pitas

-1LB (10.8 LBS NET) Yay!!!! Last night was very hard. For the first time I was craving everything in sight!!! I can't believe I am going to do this for 29 more days.... I feel a lot better today though! A girl at work told me I looked really good especially in my face! :)

I just made home made Bruchetta and ate it on my melba toast HIGHLY RECOMMEND mmmm I diced Roma tomato, thyme, oregano, black pepper and garlic powder, simmer in water until soft, drain, serve

Ok so I def spoke too soon as I just went to the bathroom (BM) for the first time in 3 days and I actually lost today so I am down -.4 a whole pound difference! LOL But it is TOM soon so we will see!

+.4 LBS :( Well I am PMS as TOM is at the end of this week which means I will likely see little to no loss the entire week and possibly gain so get ready for my frustration :)

-10LBS NET! YAYYY! I have had a crazy weekend so no time to post but as of this morning I hit the ten pound mark! yayyy!

Good morning ::exhale:: VLCD8 +1.4LBS :( Well this is a change! Gaining! I don't like it! Here is the kicker, I did not eat anything bad, I ate all the normal things I do: Breakfast: 2 teas with stevia Lunch: Broiled Tilapia with seasoning (no additives) Sautéed Asparagus (braggs, minced garlic, sea salt & pepper) Dinner: Steak Baby Spinach with apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, sea salt, pepper and stevia NOW, heres the fluctuations... I missed my mid-day hcg dose bc i went to work and forgot it so I took two at night, and I ate my dinner at 12am bc i had just got out of work .....ahhhhh I am now being told that I should not eat that late and I should not take two doses at once and that I should lose the 1.4 tomorrow + some...... meh

I just made Blueberry Bread for Rob KNOWING I CAN'T EAT IT....just call me "G"

-1 LB (-9.4 NET) Today is going good! I am not hungry today at all! I can do this! I have to say I have been reading a lot of disturbing things in the forums...so many people do not follow this diet the way they are supposed to! I don't understand it....

I am finally not hungry! I was told it would happen on day 5-6, but I also upped my drops to .42 so I am not sure which one I should thank?! But either way it was awesome today! Not only did I not feel hungry, I felt totally satisfied all day!

-2 LBS (8.4 net) Yesterday went much better! I slept like a champ and wasn't as hungry! I am actually really liking the food from my hcg recipe book, its really tasty! I started drinking Chai tea and it's like having a treat :) Its funny how your mind changes!

Well I have no idea why I was so hungry last night! I upped my drops to 4.0 (+.2) so hopefully that helps. You aren't supposed to be hungry like that, which is the whole point of why this diet works...but the people who do the drops and not the injections have to figure out how much they need without going over the top.... All in all it went well and I survived to wake up this morning -1lb again! yayyy! I can do this! :)

It is 2:15 in the am and I am awake because I am STARVING, this is the most hungry that I have been since I started this... I will see how it goes tomorrow and if I need to I will up my drops. No major headaches, only a few aches here and there, lots of leg cramping but not every day. I also broke out with tiny pimples on my face, I am guessing that this is from the hormones or detox shock...... >.<

-1.6 pounds today! So 5.4 net to date (in 3 days), 3.4 pre load! I am very happy that the weight is coming off like this! BUT it is getting hard mentally, I work in a restaurant and every time the Bavarian pretzels went out yesterday going "wwaaaaaaaaa" :) This really is an easy diet as long as you can handle it mentally, the 120oz of water all day keeps me pretty distracted from all of the cravings :)

-.07 LBS! I am finally not hungry! yay!!! I am down 3.5 total in just 2 days! I feel very encouraged! I went out last night to a club with friends and we had a skybox with bottles of liquor and I drank my fiji water without any problems! The food we are cooking tastes awesome but I am missing little things like bread and soda!

-2.8 LBS (NET)  -.8 yayyy! I was pretty hungry last night but really it was as if I was on any other normal diet. I was not starving at any point and they say that the first 2 days are the worst so! I am feeling pretty good!

Ok people here is the LINGO, R1= Round one, VLCD=very low calorie day...... Well this morning I weighed in at +2lbs to start my VLCD1, I am guessing that 2 pounds is not really bad for all the crap I made myself eat?! :) I am feeling hungry and I have only been up for a few hours...I understand that it is going to take about 2 days for me to not feel hungry...we will see! :)

It is the end of my day two loading and HOLY CRAP....how does anyone eat like this on a regular basis? I have eaten so much more fat than I normally do, I feel as though I could have a heart attack at any moment LOL :)  Tonight we went to watch the Lakers game and I ordered a chocolate cake with ice cream and Rob sat there going "ICING, make sure you get the ICING" ..... I am actually looking forward to eating only 500 calories tomorrow!!!! 

Height: 5ft 6" Thigh: 23 1/2 Calf: 14.2 Knee:16 waist above belly button: 32 1/2 waist at belly button: 34 1/4 waist at love handles: about 39 Hips:43 under breasts:32 at breast: 39 upper arm: 12

     Today is the morning after my first loading day. I am so uncomfortable, I gained a solid pound and am full of gas and water. Rob & I even went for a walk last night hoping to feel better but it hasn't done much good.      Rob has taken it quite seriously to feed me full of fat. I feel like a pregnant middle eastern woman! LOL I will be happy to be done!

For those of you who may not have known I have Hashimotos' which is an autoimmune disorder that effects the thyroid. I have had thyroid problems since I was 18 years old and have always had a very hard time maintaining my weight. While most people could eat what I do on a normal day and actually LOSE weight, I struggle to not GAIN any. Early this year several people I know turned to the HCG diet to help lose unwanted weight. After seeing HUGE success in all of them I am now beginning my journey through the HCG protocol. HCG is rigorous but it is designed to reset your metabolism so that you not only lose the weight, you maintain it while living a normal and happy lifestyle. This blog will follow my day to day journey as I sacrifice all of my normal routine to finally beat my weighty demons.
