HCG or BUST!!

I did rather well yesterday. I just felt super hungry. I can't wait to start to run again!! My Aunt looks different every day and Cody Just keeps looking better and better!!
I am so proud of my sponsees LOL. My Aunt is really dedicated! I like seeing that.
I am drinking coffee about ready to shower and weigh in. Or the other way around!
Any way no food cravings.
I was a bit scared of getting rid of my old clothes because I was thinking, what if I gain it all back and have nothing to wear?? then my aunt asked me how committed i was, and i said 100%.
So it's a done deal I'm throwing out all my fat clothes.
I really miss my friend Amber.
170

Weening my self off the drops today. It's gonna suck quite a bit today. I know that TOM is coming.
I have been feeling more tired and more hungry as the day goes on. I have been feeling achy, sleepy, hungry -So hungry. Any way, Thats what I'm dealing with right now on this diet. After 3 days of eating like I have been off the protocol then I am going to get my ass back on atkins and tone up.
I've been feeling pretty good, nothing an extra cup of coffee cant help right?
I am not really excited for my weigh in today. I don't want to see 172. I want to see 169 or lower. :/ lol
I would like to be a little more than 25 lb loss. You know sneak another -1 lb er in there ha h ahaahhahahhahahhah I need more coffee.
My sister dropped out calling it a fad diet, Aunt is still doing great! and The boyfriend is looking great!
So when done right there is so much room for fabulous success. Even if water weight is making me not see my real weight I'd still be happy with 170 I just spilled this dang coffee everywhere. FUDGE.
Any way, I think this diet is able to help those who need to lose 20 lbs or 25 lbs so that exercise is easier.
I can't wait to run, Cody says he can't wait to start lifting weights, I wonder if my aunt feels that way.
I am excited for so many reasons!
Just got to get through these next few days I feel bloated. My stomach is showing signs of bloating, and my feet too. I don't even think I'm going to record my weight if it's not a good weigh in. 170!!! but i didnt delete if you know what i mean....

Here I am at -110 lbs. I have not weighed myself in a few days. But then again I have been out. It's been rough being out and not being able to eat anything. It sucks. Or drink anything!!! I posted some of these pics on Face Book and I have gotten so many complements.
This is great.
Any way I'm telling you patience is a virtue. Be patient on this diet!! You will stall for days but its so worth the effort of waiting!!!

wow HOLY MOLY!! 29 days, never EVER thought I would have made it through this! Went to a bar last night and got a free diet cola. The thought of a drink never even crossed my mind. I did so well. Temptation is a bitch sometimes.

I have been so good on this diet and only cheated once. I felt so bad about it, then I thought, "Nah, why? thats just being mean to myself and I don't deserve that!"
Next week is week 6, Today is the first day of week 5 Can SHE KEEP IT UP!?!?
I am just drinking my coffee, Have yet to weigh in, I kicked my colds ass!!!
Echenacia is one hell of an herb. I am listening to Ingrid Michaelson. I love her song, The way I am
I am so happy about all the things in my life right now. Not even a few screwy days could make me regret my life right now. I feel a huge change coming. HUGE!
Cody is dissapointed since he has been stalling and went up and down for about 4 days now. I suspect that he'll have a good loss today. Or I hope that he is able to keep going.

weighed in at 171.2 that is a -.2 loss No biggie, its cool a loss is still a loss and every day that goes by is just one more day under my belt!
It's probably more I just haven't BM'd so pooo ha ha ha, any way I need to get ready for work, gonna drink this coffee yum yum,

Went from a siz 26 to a size 12-13 and now I have a waist size of 30 and i lost another inch off my arms!!!!!! i went from a 15.5 to a 13!! and 33 to 30!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHh iiiiieee love this way of eating!!! i feel so good
today is going to be a great day!!!
I hope that my Aunt keeps up the great work too!
Cody and my Aunt, they make me so proud!
My sister has always had trouble with her weight, My dad and brother are over weight. My sister has asked me several times for help with dieting and she posted on Facebook that, "She is done with ""FAD"" dieting" and she is going to try the old natural way.
I was offended by this post since I have tried many times to help her with information about how I lost weight. I didn't do "FAD DIETING" to get where I am

wow already day 28. I am a bit scared that when I get off this diet what the heck do I do? right around the corner. This is crazy. I need my coffee. its already Thursday. We are mid week. Wow. I wonder if I have lost anything.. I got sick and so I took a crap ton of echenacia so that this cold would go the hell away.
I feel so much better today. i only have 45 minutes to get ready :( But hey it's ok
I wonder if I lost any weight.
Cody hasn't lost any weight for these past few days. He is stalling. I think he should do the "apple a day". This is where you eat 6 apples throughout the day and drink a lot of water.
Today I am feeling so much better!! I tell you what I have seen people go through this diet and use the excuse that they got sick just so they can stop the diet.


171.4~!!!! its gonna be a great day!

Aloha this morning!
I have dropped some weight in yesterdays weigh in.... I was down to 173.9. I am very curious about what today's weigh in will be.

Weigh in today is 173.0!!!

that is 3 lbs in 2 days

I need to update a few things for Cody, he has lost 18 lbs in his first week. I bet he will lose about 30-35 by the end of this. He has 10 more lbs to go before he has reached his 100 lb milestone.
I know hitting my 100 lb milestone was huge. I didn't celebrate like I wanted to, that is O.K though.
I want to do something special for Cody for his.
I have not weighed in yet this morning. I've been told I could make some money from Google about my blogs.
My Aunt's first day of phase 2 is here. I'm so excited for her. This diet is not easy. If I could tell any one about this diet I would. I'm down (as of yesterday) 22.5 lbs.
If I saw a nice -1lb I would be so happy. I tried to eat tuna... all of it at once and I just could not choke it down.
blap!!!
I like tuna, it was just hard to eat it I am laughing at myself because I just tried to choke it down.

any way.... got some pics to share....

my clothes are so baggy : note to self..... WOO HOOOOOO!!!
I took the top picture on valentines day and the bottom one was yesterday :)

good morning!


today is day 23 i am hoping for a really good loss! Last night I went to bed a bit late 10 pm. i was hoping for earlier but its ok.
Off to work today, it's friday!!!
So I am pretty sure I told myself if I lost 20 lbs I would reward myself... And it came so quick!!!
I have about 3 more weeks of this hcg stuff for the full 40 days. 
I have seen someone elses progress and it looks a bit like the closer to 40 this person got the lower the weight losses were.

Sooooooooooo... Weight loss thus far is 20 lbs.

Hcg works. End of story.
I need to eat something now. I just ate some of those yam noodles with shrimp and some low sodium soy sauce and chili paste. I took some milk thistle so that the sodium is not too much and I end up with water weight tomorrow ha ha ha. I drank some fiber too so that would help. I feel like I am so full!!!

It's five and I am sleepy. I woke up about 12 hrs ago. I got only 5 hrs of sleep, but that is my own fault.
I'm going to drink some more water. at least 3 liters.
Any who today was a great weigh in....  176.4
I am at 176! when I get to 170 I'm going to flip out. HA HA HA. I just laugh since it's going to happen I'm just so excited!!

I guess today is magic number 20. I have been seeing only stalling for the past two days. PMS has been put in a different spot. Instead of having PMS before- it's seeming like its during. I don't like this. I feel a bit more stressed out.
I was really good yesterday and drank my 3 liters of water. I am not sure if it's TOM that is screwing with me or if it's me getting used to HCG.
Getting used to HCG is kinda crappy. I will have to wait 6 weeks for the entire HCg to get out of my system and be ready to restart it. I don't know what I'm at today I am hoping for a 176.
That would make me really happy since then I know I am not stalling or getting used to HCG.

I really feel like PMS has got the best of me. Every little thing is making me feel stressed out.
Like small projects for instance; I didn't have to go out looking for something in particular for 2 hours at hobby lobby and walmart!!!
But for some reason I felt compelled to get this project finished.
This is a quality of mine that I never really saw before the diet. I have been playing my guitar more!
I have been keeping my room a bit more cleaner.

On HCG I have noticed I am getting cold all the time. I'm going to double up on the vitamins (B12) because I have found bruising.
Today's choice of veggie will be asparagus, I will go grab some apples, and my protein will be eggs.

I have noticed some people stay on this well here you look:

Started R1 2/21/2011
LOAD DAYS (+2.0)
VLCDWK1 (-6.8)
VLCDWK2 (-5.6)
VLCDWK3 (-2.6)
VLCDWK4 (-3.8)
VLCDWK5 (-1.0)
VLCD36 (-0.2)
VLCD37 (0.0)
VLCD38 (-0.4)
VLCD39 (-2.0)
VLCD40 (-0.2)
VLDC41 (-0.6)
VLDC42 (-0.6) - 4 lbs for week 6 - YEAH! P3 starts tomorrow. . . .

I found this interesting day 37 this person had no gain and around that day they had very little loss. just like me. Except this is day 20.
Saying no to food is not a problem now. Saying no to anything is pretty easy. Getting to eat my food is a chore. You never thought it would be that way huh? Especially since I love to binge eat.
I'll update the post of my blog with all my stats.

I noticed my stomach and my face are beginning to show signs of weight loss. My stomach especially.
Today I have work which will be fun to dress up. who would have thought.
People were asking me how I lost all the weight. I enjoy talking about dieting. It's all interesting. I just don't like it when people beg me for advice and I give them the advice and then they just throw it away.
I know I'm not here to be giving out health information, but when someone begs me to help them lose weight and I get into it and start talking to them about what THEY want to try, they don't bother.

I think the worst thing you can do to someone is take them for granted. I feel like with certain people they do that. I know dieting is hard, It wasn't fucking easy for me. HA HA HA.

When I am done with this HCG I got to get to running again and build it up I want to reach 6 minute miles. I need new running shoes.
Goal today is to be positive, Be happy, Be loved, Have a great day and drink loads of water! :)
(I can wear jeans to work :) )
177.9 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was just wanting to write that I got home and I was still at 178. Bust. So I am being very hopeful and staying positive that this will still allow me to lose some more weight. No cravings for food. I really have been finding that eating is a chore. ha ha ha. I need to keep up on my water intake more.
No problem since I have drank 3 liters already. I think I need some apples ha ha ha.

Staying optimistic. I'm tired. I'm feeling tired because I woke up too early. Tomorrow is day 19, which means 4 more days to make 26 days or if I want to go the whole way.

any way chat tomorrow :)

Sorry I haven't written in a few days. these last two were nuts.. I will update the weigh in's I quit my sandwich job for my real job that I start tomorrow.

So Cody has lost  a total of 11 lbs in 3 days!! he is doing so well. He had 2 beers and was really beating himself up.
Today I have yet to think of when I should weigh in. I know I did not drink enough water yesterday. Not so good. But I did have a lot of protein. i know i got water retention. my lips are very dry and im on tom.
i need to do a few things around to help me.


Fix bed.
laundry
make erics picture frame
go downtown to get noodles

figure out how to make wallets with the tape
i want a smoke...
i need more coffee.

do some chores and then weigh in.... no gain no loss today lates and gents. ta ta for now

dont eat your protein too late at night. and space food out during the day..
if you eat it all at night before bed to catch up on the foods you've eaten it will show on the scale.
plus i didnt drink enough water yesterday.

Just want you all to know I am obsessed with cup cakes I love cup cakes. They are so cute!!

So I thought I could dedicate to the delicatessens. HA HA HA. I have an obsession with cup cakes.
Today was a good day, I think that I needed more water though I'm still catching up I have had about 1.5 liters of water today, No cravings, I feel wonderful, I feel more motivated. I feel great!!
Today is passed 2 weeks. It's amazing I am so happy! cant wait for my weigh in today. drum roll please!!

179 lbs

 I am so happy HCG is working for me. I look at for so differently now. Instead of an obsession I feel free away from everything.
I have a great recipe for you all:




Shrimp scampi:

Hcg safe:

                 You defrost 1 bag of shrimp.
                  Measure what you need.
                  Defrost the already cooked shrimp in the bag. I microwaved mine for about 2 minutes. 
                   Add 1Tbls of Italian seasoning mix.
                    Add 3 tbls of apple cider vinegar
                   Add 3 tbls of balsamic vinegar.


mix in bad while warm and empty the bad in a bowl.

ITS WAYY DELILCIOUS!!!
Now this is neat to share recipes. I now my friend Amber loves to share recipes and now i can see why.

Another awesome idea is to put salsa (were ok on the green salsa) (instead of vinegar), a little chilly powder, a dash of garlic powder  and shake the bag up with the thawed shrimp.

remember put all ingredients into the bag when your gonna thaw the shrimp that way the seasonings are absorbed. It's so delicious!

I will wake up tomorrow and see another lost pound!!! I figured out that tuna has too much salt for me and it's best to stick with shrimp, and make tuna more of a rarity!!

So I have lost 15.4 lbs since I have started HCG. I find that eating shrimp is bomb diggity.
Today is day 13 and I have lost a little more than just 1 lb a day.
I did have a stall. I got on the scale today and It was great. 181.0 today

I'm just letting you all know that my stomach was the first problem area I have noticed change. My face and my thighs.
I went from a size 16 to a comfortable 13. And certain designs on 12's.

I went shopping and wanted new out fits like crazy. I kept thinking differently about that too. Delayed gratification.
I bought a size 12 pants for my new job which starts in 6 days. That is 6 lbs give or take. The way it's been going it looks like 6 more lbs. I'm at 181 right now that would lead me to 175.

Hcg has been a wonderful thing for me. I know for others it would be great for them as well.

I have stayed away from tempting foods. Hit and miss certain things in regards to foods. I've cheated and I'm still mentally in the game.

I am excited for my friend to do this with me.
I feel good and great off to get some oranges and shrimp, and zucchini. i loves me some zuch.!!!!
Then to the bank. I also need gas. ha ha ha all to do. Thank god I am getting closer to my goal weight. 181 wow. tomorrow ill wake up and see 180. fabulous.!!

Lesson in life today, materialistic things are not important.

I am interested in writing this topic because my friend is going through a hard time right now and she is stressing about all the THINGS she is losing.

Health, love, friendship and inner peace is what its all about.

Thats my rant.

Day 12 wow, i made it almost 2 weeks. I am feeling really good. I have felt like now this is a habit.
So it's easy now to resist food.
TOM is coming, and I know water weight is heavily upon me.
Usually TOM (time of month) I gain quite a bit of weight. For every gallon of water there is 8 lbs. !!
8 lbs!!!!! that is a lot. So just remember that.



Drink your water even though you don't like it. I love to put cucumbers in my water it tastes crisp.
lime juice, maybe some mint leaves. or just suck it up and drink your water.

2 liters a day is suffice, I drink 2-3 liters a day.

Women are usually more irregular in their weight loss, often not affecting any loss for 2 or 3 days, and then a sudden loss which reestablishes the normal average.
These fluctuations are due to variations in the retention and elimination of water which is more apparent in women than in men due to menstrual cycles.

I'm excited to weigh my self this morning.

So I am writing today being my 11 day anniversary. I'm pretty happy about this!!
Yesterday- and yes day 11 is a big deal for me because I have usually only made it about day 8 and quit. but i am very happy to know that i stuck with this for almost 2 weeks and I have about 2.5 to go or 3 I dunno.

So In lams term for HCG, or Perhaps my own HCg for dummies LOL here we go:

For 2 days while taking the drops 3 x a day you are to eat as much fat as humanly possibly.
Fat including but not limited to Mayonnaise, CHEESE!!, oils, I would highly recommend doughnuts.
Breads, Any type of butter, Fatty meats, Fatty everything. Go to sonic and pig out!!!
Sticking with fat vs. sugar on this loading will help you not be so hungry while you are doing the diet.

Take the drops at the same time each day if possible.
It will not mess up your period. Especially if you are doing the drops. DO NOT WORRY.
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT. Think about it if your body thinks it's pregnant how can you have a baby!!??

Then you have different phases of the protocol. P1 is loading P2 is 23-40 days of drops and 500 calories. P3 is The maintenance phase is the 3 week period after you finish your injections. Dr. Simeons outlines a few rules here:

•you must weigh yourself every day
•you must remain within 2 pounds of your last injections (but we do drops here) weight and,
•you cannot eat sugars and starches

Helpful Lists
Learn about fats and starches, so you know what to avoid.
For a complete list of the foods to eat, see the Phase 3 Food List at the top of this section

Low Carb Vegetables
This list is roughly arranged from lowest to highest carbohydrate counts, but all are non-starchy and generally low in carbohydrates. Exact carb count depends on serving size. Remember when counting carbs in vegetables that the fiber is not counted, and can be subtracted from the total.
•Sprouts (bean, alfalfa, etc.)
•Greens – lettuces, spinach, chard, etc.
•Hearty Greens - collards, mustard greens, kale, etc.
•Radicchio and endive count as greens
•Herbs - parsley, cilantro, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.
•Bok Choy
•Celery
•Radishes
•Sea Vegetables (Nori, etc)
•Cabbage (or sauerkraut)
•Mushrooms
•Jicama
•Avocado
•Cucumbers (or pickles without added sugars)
•Asparagus
•Green Beans and Wax Beans
•Broccoli
•Cauliflower
•Peppers
◦Green Bell Peppers
◦Red Bell Peppers
◦Jalapeno Peppers
•Summer Squash (including Zuchinni)
•Scallions or green onions
•Bamboo Shoots
•Leeks
•Brussels Sprouts
•Snow Peas (pods)
•Tomatoes
•Eggplant
•Artichoke Hearts
•Fennel
•Onions
•Okra
•Spaghetti Squash
•Celery Root (Celeriac)
•Carrots
•Turnip (see Carb Counts of Root Vegetables)
•Water Chestnuts
•Pumpkin
Starchy (High Carb) Vegetables
The main veggies to be avoided when reducing carbohydrates are the starchier vegetables:

•Beets
•Carrots on some diets, but they aren't as high as others in this group
•Corn
•Parsnips
•Peas
•Plantains
•Potatoes in all forms
•Winter Squashes (particularly acorn and butternut)
Eat Low Sugar Fruit 


so in easier terms:


P2 is the 500 calorie portion of the diet. It is the only part of the diet that involves hcg.

P3 is the first three weeks of NO "starches nd sugars," or, as Dr. S called them 40 years ago, "the so-called carbohydrates." Many people just follow Atkins induction for this phase.

P4 is where you can begin to introduce various carbs to the plan to see how your body responds, and develop lifetime maintenance eating. This can be much like following Atkins carb ladder, except there are really no "rules" about which order to add things in.

so there you go.

I am about ready to weigh myself, I have actually had a lot of physical activity yesterday. Bowling, hand ball with the kids. So I was a bit more active than I should have been.
It's ok. Monday I am going to start running again. I'm going to try and run 6 miles a day. I have to practice for a marathon.

I need you all to realize that HCg is not a quick fix. And you should not be doing this diet if you want to lose weight fast you need to do it to be healthy.
Once you figure that I am sure that you will succeed.


                                                             REMEMBER



                                                              HEALTH
                                                              _______
                                                              Quick weight loss 
.

OH MY GOD!!! day ten huh??? wowo!!


So yesterday I went to Ross to try on size 12 pants and by god they fit!!

I feel really good today and that first week was hard, But I did it!!!
almost 2 weeks now.

So my sister suggested that I write kind of like a cheat sheet for HCG novices. When I get more time I will do that but for now
I will have to just write about how day 10 feels. TOM is on its way ( time of month)
And so i worry about the excess water weight being on my body.

I believe that there is something that needs to be brought to all of our attentions.
With all of this obsession with weight loss and how women should look I would like to take the time to write this.

You are beautiful regardless. Weight really has nothing to do with it. Beauty is laughter, and humor and intelligence. It's being unique and enjoying stupid crap. 

This bullshit society has put us through is awful. 


I'm pretty sure Kiera Knightly is only doing what society is telling her to do. That thin is in, and weather you want to be comfortable in your own skin is not where you should be.

People I'm telling you we are losing sight of what is important. And doing HCG has taught me that it's not the weight I need to lose. It's the health I need to gain.!!

I need to point out that extreme dieting is harmful and can take rule of our mentality. I have a friend who is anorexic and it's scary.

You have to understand this diet is for us to change our mentality of health and gorging out.

You also have to understand that anorexia is the same as obesity I do not care who you are. Eating disorders are all the same and are very unhealthy. I hope you are trying HCG to be healthy.

because all in all it is a cure for obesity.


thank you for reading-

Alrighty then,,,, day 9 huh, wow. Today I woke up in the best mood ever I feel fucking fantastic!!

So I weighed in at 184.4. So cheating was actually a 3 or four day ordeal.
Last night I took my cousins to FudRuckers, It's a burger joint and I ordered a side salad although I really wanted one of those veggie burgers and fries!! I knew it was not a good idea to do that. So I'm watching my cousins eat their food and I don't feel anything. Nothing at all. No jealousy or nothing. I remember back in the day I was really jealous of my friends and family eating whatever they wanted to eat.
I was down right saddened that I could not eat what they were eating. Did it make me depressed? YES!!



Depressed and hungry and sad. So Last night I just proved to myself that it doesn't have to be that way at all.
I was happy with my side salad. Although when they brought it to me, it was covered with cheese, croutons, a side of garlic bread, cabbage it was a nightmare salad for me. So I gave it to my boyfriend and he was happy to eat it. I mean it's a salad so still healthy, just not for me right now.

So I got smart. At this eatery they have tomatoes, three different kinds of lettuce, onion and salsa and pickles so you can put your burger together.

What I did was ask for a side plate and I made my own salad and I put salsa on it instead of dressing!!!
It was so delicious!!! I am so proud of myself.

That was a feat. So cheating set me back and mentally I was thinking fuck not again. And I didn't I learned and moved on!!
Any way thanks for reading, It's going grand and I am loving it!!!



Sarah-  ☮

Alrighty then, I suppose today is day 8 although its really hard to believe. My clothes are fitting nicely. Yesterday I was very very tired. I talked to my uncle and aunt about HCG and to my surprise my uncle said he was wanting to check it out.
Now you must already know that there will be certain people out there who will criticize you because you want to try this way of eating (us normal folk in the eatery world would call it  WOE - way of eating)
Now my theory on this is that some people think that THEY are right. And that you are just trying another stupid fad diet. Well your not. If your doing HCG your doing something way  more profound than "just a diet"
HCG is like this:

Rebooting your entire computer, Unplugging your alarm clock to it resets to 0, Waking up from a good nights rest and ready to tackle the day, Coming home from a really good vacation, I mean I can go on and on with the analogy's.

Fact is its more, much more than just a diet. There are people who I have met on the Low carb friends bulletin board who say that they would just do this diet because of how it makes them feel.
After some more research and some personal experience, I agree with them. This feeling you get, it's called always being satisfied.
People are going to judge you and try to make you think that your a dummy for "limiting yourself to only 500 calories and taking drugs with it"

You know what the fuck my response is to them: "well , NO. This is not just a diet I'm following. This goes core deep. On a molecular basis. Now can you tell me any diets you have tried that do that?"
Then I go on and on and at the end of the conversation I ask "Are you Mormon by chance?"
Just be prepared for people to not like the idea of you being on such a strict diet. Honestly if they read what you read and did THEIR homework they would know.
So do not let the discourage you at all!!

I'm lucky I have an uncle who is very open minded. My aunt read up on it to its good to know.
. I told them both, I have areas where I know I will have to get surgery. This is pretty much my last hope. I wrecked my body. Even exercise can't help.

So with that said, Do not take criticism like its a shot in the face. People will have reactions. You cannot control that but you can control how you react yourself.

Yesterday I did the apple a day. Im drinking my coffee. And it's off to the scale!  Cross your fingers ladies and gents. I hope I did well.

Good news ladies and gentles. I have gone to 184.7. That is an 12 lb loss in only about week.
Lesson this post is, patience is a virtue
Today I feel good. I feel like I can take on the world.

Dieting is hard. It will never be easy. I remember being at the gym once telling myself "blood sweat and tears baby" while I was looking at my bleeding heels. Sweating and crying because I did a gruesome workout. It's always worth it.
Nothing great comes easy. That is it.
I remember plenty of times getting so down on myself and being depressed about my weight.

Hcg is a great diet because they call it "The cure to obesity" and I believe this is true. Hcg is fabulous.
I need to wake up a bit, I am so happy that i made it almost a whole week.

Feeling good You all keep up the good work and happy times. Have fun!!

   We are going to call this day ""'The Aftermath"    ha ha ha. I am drinking my coffee. My friend said that I will have gone back 2 days. So it's really not worth it at all.
The sunshine is coming through my windows and it's so pretty!!!

  Yesterday marked one year since my grandma's passing. I got a new job and so I guess I felt really emotional yesterday. Sooooooo that is why I cheated.
Emotions play a huge role in this. I
So make sure that if you do indeed cheat, don't beat yourself up because that will lead you to cheat again.
It's O.K. You and I are all humans.
So in the protocol it says don't do the apple a day.
Now the "apple a day" is when you eat 6 apples throughout the day and drink a lot of water.
Maybe I should just suck it up and get through it.

weight today FYI is 190.4

Not upset. Just a set back. Moving on!!

OK. I am just letting you all know I cheated today. "How did it go?" You all ask?  Not like I imagined it. I am actually a bit happy and disappointed.

I imagined more feelings for the food than what was really there actually. I mean I had full fantasies of eating before I went to bed on this diet. Then I take the chance to do it and I don't want to. I was happy because now I get it. When I ate that food it didn't taste like anything really really really amazing like I had planned in my mind.
The food I ate which was a sandwich and a cookie, actually tasted like crap!
I've eaten this food before and have actually loved it before. I just don't know how to describe this...

I'm glad in a way that I did it. I didn't eat like I would have usually. I was able to eat what ever I wanted and I still ate differently. My mind was not talking the same with my stomach like it usually did. It was more like, my brain was board of eating. "Why am I eating still!?!"

I don't feel like I needed to gorge out on food. When I was done I felt awful. I felt like I had a head ache. I felt just
"Icky". It was no where near as rewarding as losing weight felt. It was no where near as rewarding as this clean feeling I had.
So, tomorrow I am expecting a gain. And I will not be mad at myself. Or beat myself up about it. (although if it is a gain hopefully it will be just a small one  ::crossing fingers::.

I feel like it was good that I did that. I get to share my experience with you all. Then to top it off, I just felt so gross I never want to stray away... I thought it WOULD have been worth it, Actually wasn't

It's like this people: 

See I'm Brad Pitt, And I got this awesome sexy all American sweetheart Jennifer Aniston

*or my Hcg diet.
Food Is Angelina Jolie. Do I cheat on Aniston and go for Jolie?

Well knowing he did and now wants Jennifer back is kind of how I feel with food and this diet. HA HA HA

Today is day 5. Wow is all I can say at the moment. I am feeling very good today. I feel energized and refreshed from sleep. I haven't yet eaten or weighed in. 

So you have to weigh your self every day. Some times I get carried away and will weigh in 2x a day. I do that just to make sure that the other times during the day are really affecting me. 
Let's say I weigh myself in the morning, It will be different then if I weigh myself in the late afternoon. I just want to find the time of day where it's the most accurate. So far it's been (always) the morning. 

I'm just drinking my coffee. After the coffee I'll go weigh in.
Im going to start another post with all my weigh in's.

It's nice to have pictures before and after. 

So this is me at 279 lbs. That is the most I have ever weighed. Now I don't want any one to think that I have lost all the weight on HCG. I didn't. I lost it by counting calories and exercising. I really watched what I ate. 

After losing 60 pounds lost, I decided to go on the Atkins way of eating. After losing another 40 pounds on that, I had a friend named Amber who talked to me about HHCG. 

I have had friends go on the HHCG diet and fail. 
I have seen co-workers try it and have so much success. I was jealous of their weight loss. Seeing them lose it so fast and look great was hard to see. "Nope, I didn't exercise and I feel great!" 

What the hell is that all about? I kept thinking they are going to gain it all back I promise that. Thinking it's so unhealthy, making all these judgments on them before even researching it. 

Now, I don't do that. I try to keep criticism at a low. 
I find myself doing it at times, but I think it's a jealousy thing ha ha ha.

I now look like this:






Those are my cousins :)

I tried HHCG  (Homeopathic)  back in September of last year (2010)
for the first time. I was under a lot of stress then. I was living in a household that was high stress. No work, no money, car was breaking down.
So I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO THIS DIET WHEN YOU ARE UNDER VERY LITTLE STRESS.
That is the one key element in success with this.
I messed up a lot on this diet in the first time I tried it. I didn't follow the protocol, I still lost some weight but cheating was always my problem. 
Obviously lesson learned here was (ha ha ha thanks Amber) :FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL!!

  

So I have started taking HhCG four days ago today. Two days, I have taken it for loading so together I have been on it for 6 days. Taking it for the 4 days and carefully following instructions has made me able to lose 8.5 lbs so far. 


This blog is something I am creating so I can record my progress, feelings and any Findings.


Like for instance is there any one out there who knows how hard doing this diet really is?? 
Or is there anyone out there who is going to be non-judgmental when they hear someone THEY know is doing this diet?
What kinds of questions do people have after reading the protocol?


Hopefully I can get a few good readers from this and answer some questions about the diet.


I have found this protocol to be so fascinating personally. 
So far sooooo GOOD!!!
