Wow almost at 20lbs lost in less than two weeks. That is amazing and I continue to be grateful to the Lord for making this possible. I prayed for a 2lb release and God blessed me with 2.5.

Speaking of blessings, I never shared how I happened upon this miracle. I had hurt my back in late September working out in the gym trying to lose the weight. After a week of suffering I finally went to the doctor who suggested I ice my back all weekend. That meant sitting at home and not having too move movement. So I woke up early on Saturday and turned the TV on and got caught up in infomercial world. The first was this great kit for weightloss and thought that was interesting. The funny thing is I didnt change the channel as I would normally. After that show another one came on touting how to lose the fat. This one really caught my intererst but thought yeah right. It was Tredeau trying to sell his book. After hearing his pitch curiosity really got a ahold of me and I proceeded to search the internt and WOW my life change began. Again, talk about a blessing in disguise. Thanks to Tradeau for bringing this to light and especially to Dr. Simeon for his diligent work.

In addition to the weight loss there is another benefit that I have been experiencing wht HCG. It has mellowed me out and just keeps me at peace. It seems like I can let things roll off of my back a lot easier and relax.

Well. that's all for now.

I want to give a shout out to my homegirl Robin W. Thanks for reading my blog and checking on me. It was nice catching up with you at Shoppers, even though it was cold outside. lol. Whenever you are ready to come on board let me know cause I got your back.

Not much to really say since things are moving as planned and I am being steadfast on following the game plan.

That's all for now...

Overnight Loss: 1.5
Start of Phase I: 10-20-07
Total Losses: -14.5

Well after being quite annoyed about not losing an ounce for 2 days my body finally followed the protocol and dropped 1.5lbs. I was so frustrated that I had no desire to post the result yesterday. I am quite relieved of the recovery and will be able to take the next 0 loss in stride. I must thank all the folks on the HCG Yahoo groups for their response to my unsatisfaction and support. One poster hit it on the head when she said I would drop 1.5lbs. Well I will continue to forge ahead and stick it to the T.

That's all for now...

I have to vent....

I am not a happy camper this morning. I did not lose an ounce overnight. Not sure what happened but I will go to eating baked fish and spinach for the rest of the protocol if this happens again. lol. I know I am overreacting and should be thrilled with 14 but 16 would be better.

I took my shot this morning and feel like things will be back on track today.

Skip Day, VLCD Day 5

Today's Weight: 275.5
Overnight Loss: 2
Start of Phase I: 10-20-07
Total Losses: -13

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

I guess I need to update my profile to reflect my newfound age. I dont feel any different hitting the big 35 but so much wiser. lol

Anywho...I didn't get the exact present of 5lbs lost but am happy with the 2lbs dropped overnight. So, the honeymoon may be over with the 4lb average but who knows.

Today was my skip day and it wasn't too bad. I did get a few hunger pangs but ate my melba toast when it came on and drank alot of water. Tomorrow should be better since I will take my HCG again. I wish our bodies werent so smart as it would be nice to not have to worry about immunity.

So, many of my friends friends called and wished me a happy birthday and asked to take me out for drinks and dinner. I had to take a raincheck due to the protocol. If I were a salesman selling HCG I would have gotten rich today as I shared this blessing with about 4 of my friends. I really hope they come onboard since we are all battling the buldge plus it would be nice to have our little support group to help each other along. We will see who is sincere about trying to get the fat off. I know I am and will not Lose. I have a couple weddings coming up next year and I want to ensure I am ready for prime time.

Well that all for now...

Injection 6, VLCD Day 4

Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 277.5
Overnight Loss: 2.5
Start of Phase I: 10-20-07
Total Losses: -11

Another 3.5lbs gone. Man that is awesome. I would really have liked to keep losing 4 per but I know it is unrealistic. My thought is once my back gets better and I am able to hit the gym for some cardio and light weight training I may be able to keep a higher amount of lose compared to the 1 to 2 lbs. Don't get me wrong I am VERY thrilled with how things are going. Like I said yesterday, its nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Tommorow is my skip day and I am hoping I wont go into starvation mode. I am sure things will be ok as many users have survived the break. The weekend will be a challenge for me, eatinwise. Its much easier to control your eating when you are at work because there is no frdige or freezer to just run into. I also have my kids this weekend and have to cook for them so that will be tempting but will be strong.

Oh, by the way. I did sleep well even thought the rain was falling as there was no dripping to awaken me. I actually oversleptl lol.

Tomorrow is my birthday and the best present would be a 5 pound drop. I will pray for it.

That all for now...

Injection 5, VLCD Day 3

Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 280
Overnight Loss: 4.0
Start of Phase I: 10-20-07
Total Losses: -8.5

Wow...4 more pounds gone overnight. That is incredible as I have taken a couple weeks to reach that total on previous weight loss missions. I hope this keeps up.

The funny thing is how much of a cost saving approach this is to losing fat. I was spending a ton of money on supplements that claim to loose weight only to not lose a darn thing and end up just throwing the money away. This is by far the greatest investment I have made and its amazing when there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is actually in reach.

I am glad I had a successful weight loss event because I was so annoyed this morning because it rained and there was a leak in my roof that was dripping on the ceiling my room. Did I share that I am a very light sleeper and was awakened at 4am. I had to break out the ladder and head into the attic to identify the leak and do a little band-aiding until I get a roofer. By the way this issue is not new but it has been so dry here I just didnt focus on getting it fixed. Anyway I did burst a sweat going to the basement for the ladder and hauling it up to the 3rd floor and climb into the attick. I think that helped me loose a couple more ounces. lol

Tonight should be Ok so I will be well rested for tomorrow. I just so look forward to the next day just to see what my results are. I would equate it to looking forward to seeing that girlfriend you left for a week. Just excited and know good things are coming. lol

That's all for now....

Injection 4, VLCD Day 2

Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 284
Overnight Loss: 4.5
Start of Phase I: 10-20-07
Total Losses: -4.5

Well I must say that I am quite happy with the overnight reduction. I was thinking how great it would be if I could lose this much everyday until I reach my goal. That would be a whopping 21 days, that would be too amazing. lol.

So far so good on the hunger. Still getting used to eating this small amount of calories but I keep drinking water and tea to stave off the hunger. My hope is to not have any hunger at all like many have experienced. I enjoy drinking the water but the only drawback is having to run to the bathroom every few minutes. This kills when you are in a meeting with your boss and in the middle of a presentation. lol

I made some awesome baked catfish and spinach. Had that for lunch yesterday. For dinner I had steamed shrimp and spinach. Today I again had the catfish but with sliced cucumbers splashed with vinegar and a sprinkling of black pepper. It hit the spot as I was getting the stomach growls.

Thank God for Dr. S. as I now have a very easy to follow plan that will yield the results I have been looking for.

That's all for today....

Injection 3, VLCD Day 1

Start Weight: 285.5
Load Weight: 288.5

Good day all....

Today is the first day of the VLCD. Not sure what to expect but still feel confident that I will stick with this plan. I am still a tad bit concerned about mixing the HCG and am hoping that all goes as planned.

My weight this morning came in at 288.5 which is a 3 pound gain during loading. I am looking forward to tomorrow morning already to see how much I will drop after the first day. I do have great expectations but will try not to be disappointed if my expectations arent met.

I took the shot in the deltoid this morning. So far, so good as I am not hungry. The funny thing is that my mind is trying to tell my stomach to growl and feel hunger but my stomach wont listen. I am drinking a ton of water and tea to keep the hunger edge off. I guess I did well with the loading, as hard as it was to keep eating. I actually ate Burger King triple stackers, fries, ice cream, scrambled eggs and cheese etc... all the fat foods to fill those fat stores. I have no desire to be hungry and going out of Dr. S protocol is not optional.

Let me recap from start:

Received HCG Saturday morning with great excitement. I laid out all the mixing materials, re-read the protocol and commenced to mixing. I opened the ampoule and was concerned with glass falling into the solution but did not see any after adding the bac water. Now here is where it goes down hill...you see I ordered the 10ml bottles and was so excited about mixing it up that 1/3rd of the way through realized I could not put 24cc into a 10cc bottle...duhhh. Of course I am nervous about mixing it correctly as I decided to seperate into 3 small bottles. I hope I get the right serving.

I started loading Saturday through Sunday night. I actually like the fatty foods but will be quite fine not eating them any longer. I went grocery shopping for all the healthy goodness (just season the food to your liking) that is required. I had to buy a better food scale from Target which measures perfectly. So I went through and seperated my 100g servings of fish, shrimp and chicken into freezer bags for quick preperations. I figure baking, grilling, or boiling will get the job done and keep my meals diverse. Anyway...so far so good.

That is about all for now.
