I Have Been Weighting for You

Well so sorry I have been MIA for two days or more! Saturday, my would have been vlcd6 I believe I was very sick so I did not take any drops and ate regular food. I gained 2.2lbs for my weigh in yesterday. Today is my vlcd8 and I am -1lb today, so one whole pound more to make up for the cheat.

Nom nom nom

-2.6lbs! I am so excited! I ate at Panera yesterday, a sald with chicken and no dressing. I was on the road and was pretty worried! I am so happy! -7lbs so far!

-.8 lbs BUSY BUSY BUSY I ate at Real Seafood yesterday, A grilled & blaclened whitefish and romaine with balsamic vinegar. DELISH!

-.6lbs today major PMS

Preparation: Cube 100g of Lean chicken breast, set aside. Dice 1/3 cup of onions Mince 2 cloves garlic 1/4 cup water 1-2 tbs Braggs Liquid Aminos Chop a head of romaine into taco size pieces, rinse and dry, set aside Spices: 1/4 tsp.onion powder 1/4 tsp chili powder 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste) 2 dashes of paprika a dash of Chinese 5 spice, black pepper and red pepper flakes Saute in small frying pan garlic and onions. On HCG there is no fat or oils so simply had water to the pain splash by splash to keep bottom moist enough to prevent burning. Add rest of water after onions and garlic have cooked for a few minutes. Toss in spices, chicken & brags and allow to simmer for a few minutes, turning chicken. Once most of water is evaporated the chicken should be done. (check to be sure) Place contents of pan in a bowl, serve with lettuce pieces and enjoy!!

-.8 pounds today -3lbs total including load Not as big of a loss as I would have liked but I am still happy! I am not sure if the face wash I used yesterday, the balsamic vinegar I used (there is 3g of sugar alcohol in it) or the fact that I am PMS. We shall see!

Start with empty frying pan, diced onions and minced garlic. I prefer about 1/4 cup diced onions and two cloves of garlic minced. In one pan, saute diced onions & minced garlic. When it begins to stick to the pan add about 1/3 cup of water and bring to a simmer. In a separate pan: Brown lean ground beef or veal - It is recommended 96/4 our more lean. Drain fat, add to pan containing onions and garlic. Add to pan: 1/2 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. thyme 1/2 tsp.garlic powder 1/2 tsp.paprika 1/4-1/2 tsp. black pepper -to taste 1-2 tsp of chili powder 1/4 tsp Onion Salt 2 diced roma tomatoes or one vine ripe tomato Sprinkle of red pepper flakes Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and let simmer. Contain you to check, stir and water by 1/4 cup until tomatoes are cooked down. Once tomatoes are ready, uncover and simmer until the desired texture is reached.

It was a good day! Didn't even eat my first meal until nearly 5. Drank a total of 96oz of water(not kidding), 30oz of coffee and about 16oz of herbal tea. I made the HCG chili today nom nom nom!!!! Hoping for a big loss tomorrow!!

I just noticed I never updated my total load gain! Total gain for loading: +1.4lbs

-2.2 lbs for day 1!!! I don't think I drank enough water yesterday & I just realized my face wash has sesame seed oil in it and I used it yesterday & today already. I will avoid using it tomorrow and compare results.

I have had  fairly easy day today for a first day! Only hungry around breakfast time! I had some coffee w/ stevia around noon or 1, chicken strips with franks red ht sauce and a salad with balsamic vinegar around 4, a melba for snack and steamed shrimp with spicy mustard and cucumbers for dinner. I am saving my apple for later, only doing one fruit today.

Unfortunately yesterday did not go as well as planned. I don't think I was able to eat as much fat as I would have liked....so we will see how this round goes! +.6lbs today for a total of +1.4 for loading, Not bad compared!

+.8 lbs this morning. I'm sure eating a bagel right before bed was the problem too! I did end up drinking about 60oz water throughout the day too.

I ate some cheez-its & a bagel with cream cheese and now I feel so bloated & awful. Loading is actually better with the P3 menu; I'll be sticking to this tomorrow.

I totally fell off the carb wagon. I can't stand it lol. May as well have some before I can't anymore!

Heeding advice from a fellow HCGer, I have indeed gone P3 for loading and have consumed only fats and protein for today (minus plantain chips which are still p3 relevant). Breakfast: Cheese & A pork chop Snack: Meat from a McDonalds snack wrap Lunch: Plantain Chips Dinner: About 5-6 Sausage Patties with sugar free syrup & tuna fish I have drank about 30oz of water, about 24+oz of iced tea and had a cup of coffee. Thinking about some homemade guacamole and carrots for a snack. We will see!

I will be using "Homeopathic", pharmaceutically made drops from DIY HCG this round. My previous 3 rounds I used the same type of HCG but through hcgdiet.com Saving grace is that both of my parents have used this product for 4 rounds.

I woke if this morning with a 100F fever....have been sick for several weeks, so I am not sure how accurate my weight is but nevertheless, the initial weigh in put me up 15lbs since this time last year (I had just finished my 3rd round). My goal this round is to lose 17-20lbs. An 18 pound loss would put be at an identical weight to the lowest I have been fro my second round of HCG and 20 pounds loss would put me at my lowest weight yet. I am looking forward to this round especially to break old habits and boost my self esteem. I am looking for you support to feel free to chime in! Here goes nothing!

It's the day prior to loading and at this point I have felt every different emotion about this round. I have been Criticized, questioned and encouraged. I am feeling very bloated and sick and am terrified to get on the scale. I know that I have gained almost all of my initial weight loss back and that makes me sad. My body is carrying the weight much better and I do think it is safe to believe a good portion of it is water...nevertheless, frightened. I took the time to pre portion 100g packets of chicken breast and have started to sort through my old meal habits. After seeking some council I have decided to head the advice and try to stay away from starch and sugars for loading and go straight for the fats. Therefore I will eat a commemorative pizza tonight. Let the games begin!

Well everyone, it IS INDEED that time again!  I will be starting my 4th round this weekend. It has been EXACTLY a year since my last round.  I have managed to maintain my size through out most of the year but will admit that weighing myself is something I refused to do. Around 4-6 months ago I started taking an oral contraceptive again and noticed an immediate wight flux. If any of you remember, this was my reasoning for doing my last round. I have struggled intensely over the past year with my self image and unfortunately developed an eating disorder that took over a year to kick in the butt. For those of you who know me and didn't know this, SURPRISE. I plan on using my blog this round to really be honest with myself and my readers where I am at. I want to be relate-able and transparent as we walk through this round together. I have been working hard to be healthy and am now in a place where I am just that. The only problem is that I gained some weight back in the process...
