Skip Day, VLCD Day 40

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 241.4
Overnight Loss: 2.2
Total Losses: -47.1

Yesssss. That is awesome. Thanks for all the vibes you ladies are sending me. It seems to be working. lol. I have been eating chicken breast and tomatoes all week and lookie here. I wonder if that little cheat I did jumped started things because it has been a successful week thus far. I just hope to keep going in the right direction. Even if it did I will hold off until I am done to partake of another piece of heaven.

I have been reading all the blogs on Biz's page and see many people having a hard time drinking water. I am not sure what advice I could give you on this to have you increase your water intake but I will share with you my daily routine. I come to work and head straight for the cafeteria and fill up a 50 oz bottle of water, a 32 oz cup of ice water and a 20 oz cup of hot water for tea. I sip on the cup of water first to quench whatever thirsts may be present and then sip on the tea until done. The hot tea then warms me up to where I need water to cool off. I then pour the bottle water in the the cup and then sip on that until it is done. I keep refilling the cup so not be intimidated by the large bottle. I do this in the afternoon as well minus the hot tea. I don't know if that will help you keep your mind off of the water but it works for me and I get about 200 oz of water per day. This really aids in getting the fat stores ready to burst and makes going to the bathroom easier.

On the ordering of the HCG, I tried to order from the site but they require a minimum 200 dollar order and will not process less than that. Oh well. I did however placed my order with DD and had a 15 dollar coupon code (test15) which brought my total to 69.98. I am not sure if that coupon is one time use but give it a try to see what happens.

That's all for now...

Injection 36, VLCD Day 39

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 243.6
Overnight Loss: 1.4
Total Losses: -44.9

Another 1.4 down, don't ask me how that happened but I will gladly take it. It feels so good to be back on track and the end of R1 is almost here. I am dieing to sample another piece of that Christmas cake. lol.

Thanks to everyone for the comments yesterday. I need to make sure I put in my second order by tomorrow, the latest. I found an alternative to DD that costs less. They sell a 5000 IU for 15 dollars and the shipping is about $9. Here is the link: http://www.ortpharmacy.com/hcg.htm. I found this link on another HCG forum but I have not ordered from them. The folks recommending it said it was reliable and fast. I will give it a shot and let you folks know how it works out. Keep your fingers crossed so maybe we can save a few dollars and time over DD.

With regard to the 50...just keep sending those vibes my way. Thanks to you guys for all the support and for sharing your journey. It keeps me motivated when I read all our your successes as well. If we were on the Biggest Loser show I guess we would have to sneak the HCG because the cameras would be always on us and I am sure they would class it as an unfair advantage. lol. It does feel good not to have to work so physically hard to achieve this loss. I do miss the gym and will be going back to tone up and add muscle mass but for now I am just loving getting up in the morning and seeing results.

See you all in the morning...

That's all for now...

Injection 35, VLCD Day 38

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 245
Overnight Loss: .6
Total Losses: -43.5

Yeaah for me. lol. It does feel good to be back home. Imagine if I can keep losing at this rate for the rest of P2. I only have 6.5lbs to go for the 50 mark and that would be a most welcomed accomplishment in this first round. Its funny that I am not even on P3 and am looking forward the the second round. I know it not a race but you just want to get there and have that total transformation.

Have any of you watched the Biggest Loser? I wonder if you are allowed to use HCG to supplement your loss. Could you imagine how easy the money would come if you could get use it. I wonder if there would be a conflict with the exercise portion as it seems we tend to gain when doing more activity. That too is weird much less counterproductive. My friend asked me if I exercise and I gleefully responded nope. This is while she is getting on the Treadmill to exhaust herself. She has shown some interest but not sure she is ready to get on board. With the holiday looming I am sure this may not be a good time to start.

Speaking of holiday, I wonder if there will be a shortage of HCG when the new year kicks off and everyone is on their lose weight resolutions. I am going to make sure I order my stuff before the end of this month to avoid any delays in getting the next batch. I will be starting on January 1.

That's all for now...

Injection 34, VLCD Day 37

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 245.6
Overnight Loss: .8
Total Losses: -42.9

Down .8. I guess being back home does really make a difference and your body gets reacquanted with its surroundings.

That's all for now...

Injection 33, VLCD Day 36

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 246.4
Overnight Loss: 0
Total Losses: -42.1

The good thing is I didn't gain anything from my small cheating yesterday. I actually lasted 5 complete weeks without even being tempted, which makes me proud.

I made it back home safely last night and feel back on track thus far. I did stick to it while in NY but there is a certain level of comfort when you are back home. Maybe its just me but we will see how I do from here until the end of the round.

That's all for now...

Injection 32, VLCD Day 35

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 246.4
Overnight Loss: .2
Total Losses: -42.1

WoooHooo a .2lbs loss (sarcasm). Well its better than a gain. lol.

I am heading back home today so maybe next week things will be a little more stable. Tomorrow begins week six and I still have about 2 weeks of HCG left. I will most likely keep going until its finished.

B and Amy...I stuck it out yesterday but had to sample a small piece of my sister's Christmas fruit cake this morning and it was gooooood. I can only imagine what the repercussion will be. If I am lucky I will be like all the others who partake of a little reward food and still lose. Keep your fingers crossed for me. lol.

That's all for now...

Injection 31, VLCD Day 34

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 246.6
Overnight Gain: .6
Total Losses: -41.9

I guess the after shower theory doesn't work all the time. I went up .6 and have no idea why but there will be some correction today or tomorrow. Who knows.

After reading all the blogs this morning and seeing the folks who enjoyed their Thanksgiving grub I wish I had partaken in that joy. Some even lost after enjoying their delightful spreads. Maybe I will sample my sister's Christmas cake today and see what happens tomorrow. By the way she does put rum and wine in it by way of blending it with the fruits and pouring it over it to keep it moist. Very nice.

We are off to do some shopping this morning and I still have homework that has to be turned in tonight and tomorrow so I should be running around all day. It is freezing her in NY and will be only 39 degrees for the day. Will be bundled up especially since being slim keeps you cold. lol.

That's all for now...

Skip Day, VLCD Day 33

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 246
Overnight Loss: 1.6
Total Losses: -42.5

So I got on the scale this morning and weighed 247 and then took my shower and came out weighing 246. Ohhh, joy. lol. I will definitely take that for a dollar. Next Monday will be week 6 and I really wonder where I will end up after that. I would really love to drop a total of 60 on this first round. Where ever I do finish I will be happy with it and I know it will never come back. That is truly the joy of it all.

I am still in NY and luckily didn't have the temptation of the Thanksgiving spread that all of you had. Since I was on my protocol and its just my sister, her kids and I she didn't have the urge to go through any big cooking. It is also a sad time for her since she is going through a divorce. I am glad I was able to come spend the holiday with her and especially today since she had to go to work and I am babysitting. I have an 11 yr old nephew and 2 yr old niece. So I leave my kids with their mother to come babysit...isn't that something. Well so far so good as I have not forgotten everything I did with mine. lol.

There was one temptation though; she decided to bake me a Jamaican fruitcake for Christmas. The whole apartment smelled so so good. I made sure to fight the temptation while her and the kids taste tested it. Mine will be in the freezer until Christmas and before the beginning of round 2. Guess what I will be loading with. lol. I just cant wait to get to the point where I can indulge like other people and not have to worry about blowing up again. Ahh, happy thoughts. lol.

That's all for now.

Injection 30, VLCD Day 32

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07 Start Weight: 288.5 Today's Weight: 247.6 Overnight Loss: 1.4 Total Losses: -40.9 HAPPY THANGSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!! After dropping 1.4 overnight I have finally broken the 40lb lost milestone. It has taken me 2 weeks to drop 10lbs. I guess my body was trying to rebel. I wonder if that was the stall that Dr. S. was speaking of when he mentioned the last remembered weight. I hope it is fast moving now because my next last remembered weight is 235. We dont have much planned for today and there wont be any food temptations since my sister is not really into the cooking thing. I knew I would be safe coming here but if I stayed home there would be way too many temptations at my friends' houses. They will have all the goodies that would drive me nuts not to have. lol. I hope you all enjoy your day and for those of you still on P2 keep the focus and avoid the temptation. For you all on P3 or P4 enjoy for us who are holding it down. Have a blessed Thanksgiving. That's all for now...

Injection 29, VLCD Day 31

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07 Start Weight: 288.5 Today's Weight: 249 Overnight Loss: 0 Total Losses: -39.5 Nothing lost Wednesday. I arrived in NY late Tuesday night and was in court with my sister yesterday so didnt have time to log in. I stuck to the protocol to a T but now patiently waiting for my body to do its thing. That's all for now...

Injection 28, VLCD Day 30

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 249
Overnight Loss: 1.6
Total Losses: -39.5

Well the body does it again and drops 1.6lbs. I have finally broken the 250 mark and close to the 40lb milestone. My hope is that tomorrow will produce that milestone achievement. If things can continue without a stall I think my next challenge will be at 235. Like I said I am not really going to sweat the increases or short stalls because there will be an automatic correction.

Thanks to you all for responding to my concern yesterday. I have now accepted that there is fluctuation with this protocol even if you try your best to follow it to a T. It is the little things that you don't think will impact your progress that get you every time. I don't know if I have had any impact with preparing my meats like some folks have. I, like CB, don't want to use gloves to apply lotions and Vaseline to my little boys. I too wonder what they would think. The other thing is my hands get dry to its also a relief as the mineral oil only does so much.

Tonight I am off to New York to visit with my sister. I have packed everything I need to be prepared for this trip including most of the foods. I should have enough to last until I leave on Sunday. I already explained to her that I will not partake of any tempting treats while there and will be eating only what I bring or cook while there. It should be a challenge but will not give in. I was there in September so hopefully she will see my loss and get on board as she needs to lose some too. I will work on her.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

That's all for now...

Injection 27, VLCD Day 29

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 250.6
Overnight GAIN: .6
Total Losses: -37.9

UGHHHH, over a half pound gain and I have no idea how this happened. I promised to stop trying to figure it out and let it be. I did take the time to reread the manuscript to see if there was anything that I may be missing but nothing. Oh well, such is life.

Let me ask you readers a question. Do you think putting Jergens lotion on my kids face or spreading a little Vasaline on his lips would cause a gain? I think I will purchase some latex gloves to use when doing this again. Just to eliminate any possibilities.

Thats all for now...

Injection 25, VLCD Day 27

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 250.4
Overnight Loss: 1.8
Total Losses: -38.1

Another 1.8 gone. That is truly a positive move for the weekend. Stating the obvious here but I only have 1.9 until the big 40. Send me those positive vibes so I can break that milestone. I want to again thank my cheering section and I appreciate the time you spend reading my blogs and leaving me supporting messages. I really enjoy reading each of yours daily to get my days started.

Did I ever mention how much I love HCG and Dr. Simeon. l0l. I mixed a fresh batch of HCG this morning for the second half of Round 1. It is so much easier to do it a second time. I actually mixed it in 3 seperate 10ml vials and keep them in foil to protect from the light. It limits the removal of on big vial. The reason this happened is because I ordered the 5000iu and 5 10ml bottles then realized I needed the 30ml bottle. Next round I will order 1500iu to mix once a week and keep it fresh.

Well wish me continued blessing as I embark the second set of HCG usage and thanks again for your support.

That's all for now...

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 252.2
Overnight Loss: 1.8
Total Losses: -36.3

I lost 1.8lbs last night so I give up on trying to figure this out and just will go with the flow. Thanks for those that supported me as I whined about the gain. I wonder if this is like thunder and lightning...you know you see lightning first and then hear the thunder later. The "whoosh" in the bathroom is lightning the the measured loss is the thunder, it's just delayed. Heck of an analogy, huh.

Have a ton of work to do today so can't post much.

That's all for now...

Injection 24, VLCD Day 25

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 254
Overnight GAIN: .2
Total Losses: -34.5

A .2lb INCREASE, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!I know I have done well thus far but I would like to konw how this happened. I was in the bathroom all day and thought man I should have a 2 pounder release but to my surprise I get this. I will share what I ate yesterday and tell me where I went wrong.

Breakfast - apple
Lunch - crab cake (seasoned crab meat, 1 crushed melba toast), 8oz. steamed spinach
Dinner - 100g baked chicken breast, 8oz ,steamed spinach, 1 melba toast
Snack - 1/2 grapefruit w/1/2tsp Splenda
Water - 150 oz
Tea - 20oz w/Splenda

Fitday puts me a little below 500 calories but I dont see how I wouldnt lose with all the flushing out. After what Amy reminded me of in the manuscript about water filling the fat cells and then whoosh, I thought I had it made. This has been the worst results week thus far and I hope the next two will be no way like this. Tomorrow is my skip day and Saturday will be a new batch of HCG. I hope that kicks this protocol back into high gear.

Rant over. Now back to our regularly scheduled update.

Well after that disappointment I dont know what to expect from here on out. Will I have to do an apple day? I will be fine with that. My body is stuck at this 254 mark and need to get over it. lol.

Today is our corporate Thanksgiving feast. The will have turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatos, sweet potatos, breads, cheescake, applie pie, pumpking pie etc.... So you know I will not be leaving my office. lol. Well, I will test my dedication to this and grab me a sald to go with my chicken breast. Really, I am not even worried about it.

I will keep my head up and stay positive.

Thats all for now...

Injection 22, VLCD Day 23

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 254.6
Overnight Loss: .8
Total Losses: -33.9

The scale moved south .8lbs today. That's a good thing. I think my body has known this weight for some time and hope it will forget qucikly and drop down to my next plateau of 235. lol.

Thanks to Amy and Amie for reminding me of how fat difuses from the body. I drink about 200oz of water daily so things should keep on moving. Also, I will keep using the current batch until complete and then work through the second one completely and then do P3.

Not much to really talk about today. Stay positive (as I am trying to do) and focused.

Thats all for now...

Injection 21, VLCD Day 22

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 255.4
Overnight Loss: 0
Total Losses: -33.1

Had no loss last night. I am not too thrilled about it but hey things must be happening so as I stated yesterday, I have to remain patient and let the body do its thing. The Lord will give you the things you ask for in life but gives it to you in His time not yours. That is the toughest thing to adapt. The other thing is we didnt get this way in 6 weeks but the expectation is to lose it all in 6 weeks. What a twisted way of thinking. lol. I am still trying to get my mind right.

I was thinking I should start a new batch of HCG since I have been using this one for 21 injections. I still have about 4 more shots in the bottle and really dont want to waste it but not sure if it is losing its potency. Give me your thoughts on that idea. I would probably keep using it and then stay on until the second bottle is finish which would of course extend P2 by about a week. I have seen others go beyond the 40 shots and not develop immunity. By the way, I am not hungry at all and there is some activity so not 100 percent sold on creating the new batch.

That's all for now...

Injection 20, VLCD Day 21

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 255.4
Overnight Loss: .4
Total Losses: -33.1

Lost .4 yesterday. My total losses at half point is very comforting. Its funny to see the .1 but its greater than the whole. lol. I guess the new scale is no longer new so I removed the tag for this. It is working perfectly and I am happy with the results.

What have I learned halfway through this process? I learned to be patient and let my body do what its wants when its ready. I was very excited when the large numbers were evident but dissapointed when there was minimal or zero reductions. Once you trust in following the protocol, it will deliver as promised. In the end you will embrace evident and non evident changes in your body. I have also learned that its amazing that 500 cal. of food sometimes feel like a thanksgiving spread and sometimes you have to force it down.

To those coming on board, be desciplined and steadfast in this venture. Dont cheat. Stay focused and appreciate the changes, current and future. We all have been finally given the roadmap to free us from this bondage and its actually pretty easy but only if your mind is right. Before you start get your mind right and everything else will fall into place.

Have a good rest of your weekend and wish me continued success and hopes to duplicate the first half. Thanks for reading.

That's all for now...

Down another 1.8. Great start to the weekend, now have to make sure I stay on track and keep busy so I dont start those cravings. As I said before its a lot easier at work so here we go.

Thanks again to all the lovely ladies who read my blog and provide me inspiration and support. It is good to have a "family" to support you as you work toward your goals. We will all get there and will be doing it together.

Well, its my weekend with the boys and time to put on my chefs hat and start taking breakfast orders. lol. Have a great Saturday and see you in the morning. lol

Overnight Loss: .4
Total Losses: -30.9

I only lost .4 lbs and I know any loss is a good loss. I try to keep that in the forefront of my mind when this happens. I am wondering if the curry chicken I have been eating is causing a slow down. Any thoughts, let me know. Dr. S. says we can use seasoning and I can't imagine the curry powder having a negative effect on my body, but please enlighten me (especially Biz). Amy made a suggestion to give the citrate of magnesium a try (have used it in the past with great success). If tomorrow doesnt improve I will give it a shot and go back to eating fish and shrimp.

Today is my 3rd skip day and so far the so good. Just trying to force myselft to eat as I have no appetite. Last night I fried some ripe plantains and man did they smell good. The boys loved them so tonght they will get that as well as the curry chicken and rice. I will do some jerk shrimp on the grill with a tomato. Oh, if you cant tell I am jamacain. lol.

I want to give a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to my friend Erica. I am trying to get her onboard but she is scared. She is getting married next year and wants to lose 3olbs but wont take the plunge. I will keep working on her. lol.

That's all for now...

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 258 (new scale)
Overnight Loss: 0
Total Losses: -30.5

So I didn't lose anything last night, darn. At least I know something has to be going on with my body becasue again I have not deviated from the plan. I can most times tell when I am not going to register a loss. Its like I feel it in my body and the scale confirms that feeling. Yesterday was strange for me as I felt overstuffed at 8PM and had to force down my dinner. I had baked fish and spinach, melba toast, water, grapefrut. That is what I usually have but last night was almost unbearable. I also didnt spend time in the bathroom so that too would show no release. I wonder if it was because of the hour of day that I chose to eat. I tend to have dinner around 7PM so not sure. Well I did het the bathroom today and will eat my dinner at 7PM as usual and hope I get back to feeling like I have been and look for a 2lb drop in the morning.

I got a couple compliments and folks noticing my reduction yesterday. Made me feel very good about myself and know that things are falling into place. My friend asked what I was doing and I told her I would send the manuscript. I tried to explain what was involved but it is too complicated and would rather have someone read the book than have me explain it. The funny part was when I tried to explain what HCG is and shared that it is used in fertility treatments and she was forget about it. She just had a little boy a few months back and was like not going there again. lol.

Temptation was present yesterday as I had my boys and they wanted ice cream for dessert and I sliced up a fresh pineapple for them. It smelled so good and I am looking forward to the day I can make a protein shake with pineapple, yougurt etc...They enjoyed it and I made sure to keep my focus.

That's all for now...

Overnight Loss: 2.2
Total Losses: -30.5

Another major milestone accomplished in such a short time. Can I get whoooot, whooot. lol.

The new scales is awesome, not just becasue of the reduction but it saves me from having to calculate those little numbers. lol.

Not much to really report today. I am just glad things are flowing nicely.

Thats all for now...

Injection 16, VLCD Day 16

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 260.2 (new scale)
Overnight Loss: 4.3
Total Losses: -28.3

As you can see I did purchase a new scale as the other was not functioning properly. To my surprise I dropped 4.3 overnight. I am not sure how valid that one day drop is since I couldnt get a true reading yesterday. I jumped on the old scale for comparion sake and it showed an increase of .5lb form yesterdays weight. I guess I will be retiring that one and keeping the more favorable unit.

The scale I purchased is a Heatlh-O-Meter that stores your last weight and calculates loss/gain over the last weight. It is large enough to accomodate my size 12 feet so I am comfortable using the numbers provided. It also increments by .2lbs versus the .5 of the old scale, which omitted the minimal drops that really mean something. The one thing I noticed is that my weight fluctuated from first rise to after showering. It actually dropped after showering. Man, I am dirty. lol. Anyway, I am going to use the after shower weight from now on.

I have to share with you how good my curry chicken was last night. Seasoned perfectly and I tell you the temptation to eat more than the 100g was there but I know its just a matter of time where it will be possible. Eating 1/4 of a chicken breast vs a whole one is hard. The greatest thing is I dont even think I could manage it since I am not at all hungry.

That's all for now...

Injection 15, VLCD Day 15

Start of Phase 1: 10-20-07
Start Weight: 288.5
Today's Weight: 264.5
Overnight Loss: 0
Total Losses: -24

I had an interesting experience this morning with my scale, which will lead me to purchase a new one today. I weighed myself after going the bathroom and it showed no loss so I weighed again and no loss. I always weigh 3 times to make sure I have a constant new weight but on the third weigh it showed a loss of 1lb so I weighed again and it showed a gain of 2lbs and then a loss of .5lb and then a gain of .5lb. That was frustrating so I said the heck with it and will say 0lbs lost and hope the new scale doesnt hurt my progress.

What is interesting is that I cleaned my house yesterday and got a nice sweat going and was thinking I am burning a lot of calories and must drop at least 3lbs but that was not the case. I wonder how this works because I could do nothing all day and lose 2lbs but be active as ever and lose 0. Any thoughts, let me know.

Anyway, I am getting tired of cucumbers but not so much spinach. I have a 3 vegetable rotation so cabbage is the next side. I made jerk shrimp kabobs, steamed shrimp and baked catfish and have been enjoying that. I hope for favorable results tomorrow.

Thats all for now...

Nice, a 2lb loss after nothing yesterday. I can definitely see some changes when I look in the mirror. My clothes are starting to fit a little less snug. By the way did I say how much I hate skip days. lol.

I am not as concerned with this 0 loss as before. I know I am doing everything right and this is a part of the experience as your body does its shifting and movement of fat. I am sure tomorrow will yield a loss.

Thats all for now...

Can you say today is a good day? I can and for many reasons but non better than 20lbs of fat flushed away for good. After losing 1.5 last night I have hit my first goal with 4 milestones to go.

For those familiar with accounting; weight loss uses the LIFO method of accounting. That is the Last in First Out. What I mean by that is the last fat to come on is the first to leave. I generally gain in my face last and now can see a difference there more than any where else. My friend said I am starting to look more like my son, Christion, as my face reduces. He is truly a little mini-me except slim. I know he is just 10 and all but he has this swagger about him that I would like to emulate. lol. Imagine that, me wanting to be like my boy.

Here is a funny tidbit. I never really liked apples because all I was really familiar with was the red one, McIntosh. After starting the protocol I have discovered some apples that are just excellent. The first I fell in love with was the Galla. It was just juicy and had the greatest flavor. Another is the granny smith for the day I just have an urge for that tart flavor and most recent the golden apple. Nice distribution of flavor. All are very satifying. Figured I would share my likes and maybe provide reccomendations to others who cant stand apples. lol

Thats all for now....
