March 27,2010 /day 6 Round 3

No loss today. I guess I ate one too many chips at the mexican restaurant last night. I hadn't eaten the melba toast yesterday so I thought it would be OK. NOT!!! Oh well. Better luck today and tomorrow- which will be hard with family birthday parties. Total loss 2.6 or .2

March 26, 2010 Day 5 round 3

Only .2 today, but I looked back and that was what happened the past two rounds on the 4th or 5th day. I did really good on the food yesterday so I thought I would have a better loss, but oh well. It is amazing how good food looks to you when you are deprived. It is so like humans to want what we can't have!! We need to overcome the "natural man."

March 25, 2010 Day 4

OK- this is good. 2.4 lbs are gone this morning. I don't think I'm going to really count it yet though since it's from the loading days and the extra pound I gained since the last round. So I will start from tomorrow keeping track of the weight lost. Disclaimer: This is subject to change if weight loss doesn't go as planned and the 2.4 pounds are needed to make total weight loss seem like more!!!!

March 24, 2010 Round 3 Day 3

Hello out there !!!!! Today is day 3 of round 3. I'm excited to be back on the HCG protocol I think! I am happy that I've been able to stay within 2 pounds of my ending weight back in January. And this morning after 2 days of loading I was up another 2 pounds. So I am not going to start counting any weight loss until those two pounds are gone. Hopefully, that will be tomorrow morning. I am going to try and be stricter this time around and my goal is 10 pounds. The first round I lost 15 and the second round I lost 8 lbs. so I think 10 lbs. is a good number to shoot for. I'm looking forward to getting on the scale tomorrow morning!!!

February 20, 2010

Well today is my last day of phase 3 for round 2. I have stayed within the 2 lb. range of my last weight so I am happy about that. I haven't stuck to the no sugar no starch religiously, but enough to make it work I guess. We are going to Florida for the first week in March so I think when we get back I may go ahead and start Round 3 for 23 more days. I would love to lose at least 10 more pounds. It's funny- the more you lose the more you want to lose. I never thought I'd be where I am now, but I guess it's just human nature to want to be skinnier, richer, prettier, etc. You get where I'm coming from. I just want to say this to myself- be happy where you are and enjoy life and don't stress so much about weight. It's not worth it. Be thankful for a healthy body and for all the blessings in life. Life is good!!!

January 27, 2010 Day 24 phase 2

Today I did my last injection. In spite of doing an apple day yesterday, I only dropped .4. So I guess my final weight loss from this protocol phase is 8.4 pounds. Again, it's not great. Not even 1/2 pound average a day, but at least it's something. I think being sick early on didn't get me off to a very good start. I am still excited to be where I am and although I never thought I'd be doing a 3rd phase, I'm thinking I will in a month or so. I'm looking forward to phase 3 which will start on Sunday after 3 more days of the VLCD. Total weight loss 8.4.

January 26, 2010 Day 23 phase 2

I did OK yesterday until Todd made crepes again for his brother-in-law that was in town for a job interview. Lesson learned....even the thinnest crepe filled with 0 calorie chocolate and strawberries can be the death of you. No loss...same as yesterday...total loss, 8lbs.
