169.8.......160.7 ........ 156

Not doing very well on plan, but continuing to lose....

All I Can Say Is WOW!

169.8........160.7...... 156.7

Because of the Christmas continuing Holiday and the New Year's food fest I didn't think I would have much luck with weight loss. However, in spite of not following closely to protocal I have continued to lose the extra pounds that was put on ...... this stuff works!!

Today will be the last day of "nibbling" to taste foods I am making for family and friends, so I hope to be on protocal and stay on protocal until I make goal. I am expecting it to take about 2 rounds to be at goal......the good thing is that I can see the goal (way in the distance) and am looking forward to getting there.

Hard lesson learned

160.7 Post 2 day load

I had the mind set during the holidays that "have what you want, you are doing HCG come January". Terrible mindset!! Note to self -- I should have weighed and done the correction days as needed.

So now I have 10 lbs to lose before I get into the new territory that I had gotten so close to obtaining.

I will be doing the P2 today with the exception of the dinner I have to attend tonight but I will be watching very closely to what I order.

Breakfast -

Coffee

Water

Lunch -

100 grams ground chicken

spinach

melba toast

water

Snack -

1/2 apple

New Year

Well, it's not quite a new year yet, but I am wanting to get started sooner than later. Afterall, the Wildcatter's ball is the first week of February and I may just be at goal by then....that would be great, but not probable.

I have no idea how much weight I have gained during the "Feast of Foods" between Thanksgiving and New Years, but will start weighing in again tomorrow after my two load days. I started loading yesterday, so today is my second load day and tomorrow I will again begin my 500 cal. diet. I am ready to see the scale move downward and ready to detox my body from all of the fat, sugar and refined foods over the past month. I always feel so much better when I have clean foods in me. I wish I could say that I have my mind in motion for this.... I don't, but hopefully once I get started it will kick in and I will be good with it for the long haul.

Update:

I guess I will be "loading" an extra day. We had some trauma in the family -- all okay, but will have to wait until Friday for the 500 cal. day.

Stabilizing

150.8

So far, this has been a stabilizing round that has been much more easy than last time. I am staying within 1/2 lb. range of my LDW.

I am having lots of protien and veggies. I am using coconut oil and coconut flour as well as almond meal and flaxseed meal. The "multigrain" pancakes are to die for (as far as lo carb goes).

I have gotten my calorie intake up to 1600 a day and maintaining well.

So far a good week of stabilizing.

Almost to a New Decade

150.2

So, So close. My last day of VLC and last no dose day. Tomorrow I start P3 --- bittersweet for sure. I really wanted to reach that new decade of the 140's and tomorrow may be the day, however knowing my body I will gain to stabilize. I did last time about 3 pounds above my last dosage weight (LDW). But I did stabilize which is what is important. I look forward to eating mixed vegetables, cheese, good fats and adding more protein, but I will miss the losses each morning as I walk to the scale.

I did have to go shopping for clothes this past week. Those of you who know me, know that is not a favorite thing of mine! I had to as all of my clothes were falling off of me and I really did not have much to wear in my closet. I have gone down a size and 1/2 depending what clothes I measured by in the closet. It does feel good to be down and I do have a fear of returning to that size now that I am no longer dosing and doing very low calories. But in about 8 weeks, I will return to lose the rest of the weight and hopefully get into a comfortable 8/10 size. That is my goal --- not necessarly the numbers on the scale. The numbers are just an indicator of how I am doing on a daily basis.

Finally!!!

150.4

Dropped .6 since yesterday morning.....Finally! I had been stuck at 151/151.2 for days! No reason that I can think of, just my body re-adjusting I guess.

Today is a non dose day....seems weird since I have developed a "habit" of taking it first thing in the morning. Just two days of VCL and then I can have a mixed salad with ranch dressing :)

I hope the stabilizing goes better than last time.....but I do realize that you have to be on the stabilize protocol for 21 days for a reason....to STABILIZE and it may just take that long.
