HCG Diet

Here's another update!

I started the HCG drops again on Thanksgiving. Thursday and Friday were my "load" days so I could eat whatever I want. Sadly I ate WAY too much on Thursday and felt a little sick but quickly recovered. Yesterday (Saturday) was day 1 of the low calorie diet. I think I did pretty well considering all we had to eat in the house was tuna and tomatoes and apples. Tomorrow I will probably have shrimp salad and for dinner, chili! YUMMY!

As far as the total goes, I sadly had gained 10 lbs while on the maintanence phase so starting round 2 I was only down 23 lbs from my original weight back in September. I'm happy to report that I'm back down to 29 lbs lost! I'm going to be doing it the full time so Jan 6th will be the day I stop the stops and Jan 9th will be the last VLCD day. I cannot wait to see what changes come this round and I'm hoping that they will be a lot better this round than last round. Not that the first round didn't give me extraordinary results! I'm completely happy with the results so far. I'm just hoping I can do better when it comes time for the maintanence phase. I tend to get a sweet tooth that can never fully be satisfied which is why I put on the weight in the first place. Wish me luck everyone! I appreciate all the love and support I've received so far and I'm glad to know people are proud of me for being able to do this. :-)

HCG Diet

Almost through the 3 weeks of no starches. Tomorrow I can slowly add starches into my diet but I'm going to give it an extra day because I'm a little nervous about it. I had lost 4 lbs over the weekend from moving to my mom's place but I put it back on which isn't a bad thing since I don't weigh more than when I ended the VLCD. This has been quite the journey and I can't wait until Turkey day to start round 2! Only 30 more days!!! I am totally ready to wear cute skinny clothes and actually enjoy shopping as opposed to dreading it! Thanks to everyone that has supported me and not tempted me away from my diet. It means a lot to me to have people I can depend on to be supportive while doing this strict diet.

HCG Diet

Day 14 of the 3rd phase and it's going a lot better now than it had been! I had done the steak/apple day 3 times in the first week. It was quite annoying and frustrating but I think I have it under control now. I'm down a total of 29 lbs so far and I couldn't be more excited! I just can't wait till November to be able to start round 2! I will be starting the drops on Thanksgiving so I can "load" (eat whatever I'd like) for the first 2 days then the third day I'll start the VLCD (very low calorie diet). I'm way excited to be losing more weight. The down side to losing weight, my clothes are starting to be too big. While I'm happy they don't fit anymore, I'm frustrated because I don't have money to get new clothes. Belts FTW! As always, thanks for the encouraging words and support!! I always appreciate it!

Update of the diet

Alright so I haven't updated this for a while so here it goes. I am down a total of 25 lbs! I stopped taking the drops as of Sunday and I'm still having to do the same foods for 72 hours. Come Thursday, I'll be eating the same foods however I get to add a little more AND I get to eat 3 times and have 3 snacks! I'm totally excited and a little nervous that I'll over-endulge. I just want it to be Thursday so I don't feel like I'm starving myself!

HCG Diet

Today is Monday, September 28th and I'm totally loving life! Okay it sucks that I don't get to enjoy the foods I normally do but because I've been sticking to this strict diet, I've been able to lose a total of 23 lbs so far since September 3rd! My mom found a recipe for homemade Chili which we made with Veal. It is very yummy and I'll be having the left overs for lunch today.

So we will be doing this very low calorie diet for 2 more weeks and then we will start to add more foods. I'm excited for the fruits and veggies I'll be able to snack on! The calorie count will go from roughly 500 to 1500 so I'll be eating about 6 times a day. 3 meals and 3 snacks. Thankfully milk is allowed on the 1500 calorie diet so I'll be able to have my daily calcium instead of having to take horse size pills. I'm so happy that I've been able to find a diet that has worked for me. I would reccommend this diet to anyone that has the will power and the support because believe me, it's a tough diet to stick to. But as long as you stick to it and keep your goal in sight, you'll be able to succeed.

One last note, my mom has to switch to the shots which are stronger than the drops I've been taking and she's started to lose weight again. She hadn't lost weight for probably a week then went to the shots and now she's losing weight. I'm so glad to have her doing this diet with me. I'm sure I would have given up a long time ago if she wasn't supporting me through this. I also want to thank everyone that has been so supportive and given me words of encouragment. It means more to me than you know! I'll update you again later. :)

HCG Diet

Here is yet another update:

This morning I woke up really early and I went and weighed myself. WHOOHOO! down a pound so the total is at 19. After seeing the loss of another pound, I took my drops and went back to bed since it was my day off. For lunch I had Tuna and salsa with Celery and strawberries with stivia. It was very yummy. For dinner I made some chicken with a Steak seasoning and Chili Powder over lettuce with Apple Cider Vinegar dressing and an apple. Very tasty. I'm not sure what I'm going to take for lunch tomorrow. Probably Tuna again or maybe some chicken. Who knows. I'll keep you all updated on how I'm doing. :)

HCG Diet

Here's an update:

This morning I woke up thinking that I'd be another pound down on the scale but instead of a pound down, I was up 2 pounds!! How did this happen? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why and I can only think of 1 reason. Last night I didn't eat dinner until 7:30 when it suggests that you eat dinner before 6. I don't see it being anything I ate because I haven't eaten anything not allowed on the diet. *shrug* Who knows. I just hope that tomorrow I will be down at least 1 more pound. Thanks for all the support and again, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!!!
