myaugust asked: I am also doing hcg and my weight loss has been a little slow and i noticed on your last post that you don't use mascara, is there a reason? did you find it to be something that slows weight loss? Now that I read that I might try the rest of my time not using it.
btw i just found your blog and I love it, it is keeping me motivated thanks for that! I hope it keeps working for you!

Highest weight 262.2 (-58 pounds total!)
Almost a pound… So it’s OKay would have liked to see at least a pound My body just LOVES the 200’s I swear. This time however I will not get frustrated at this and allow myself to go back up. I’m so close I can smell it. I have 5 days left on stage one and would have to lose almost...

Day 24 - VLCD
Weight 205 (-0.4 lbs loss) Total - 17.4 lbs
Small loss today, but at least I’m moving in the right direction. I’ve kinda stopped obsessing about getting out of the 200’s this week. Don’t get me wrong… I want it! But it’s looking less and less like it’s gonna happen for me in 6 days :-/. Oh well, I’ll get there SOON!
I haven’t seen any blogs...

HAPPY! 7 more days… I’m ready!
I went dancing last night… Told myself “no more alcohol for the remainder of the protocol stage 1” … And I’m happy to say I didn’t!!! Nope, not even a sip. Believe me, I had alcohol pushed in my face all night! (how come that doesn’t happen when I can drink!?! Lol)

I’m thankful I broke 207… But secretly wish it was more. Yesterday was another apple day… Oh joy. Today marks my 3 week weigh in. I have averaged 5.4 pounds per week (0.77 pounds per day) Only 8 more days in stage one. I’m really looking forward to doing low carb (no sugar, no starches) for 3 weeks. It will be a welcome...

Day 21 - VLCD
Weight 207 (FUCKEN STALL… AGAIN!)
Total: (-15.4 lbs)
I’m SO freaken frustrated! I did PERFECTLY on Thanksgiving… And this is what I have to show for it? I literally want to cry. I brought all my food with me the entire day and avoided all the tasty desserts and all the rest. I throw my hands up… Don’t know what else I could have done. Not sure why I’m...

Day 20 - VLCD
Weight 207 (-0.0 no loss no gain)
Total (-15.4)
This is frustrating. I drank ALL my water and ate perfect, GAH! Today is Thanksgiving at 5:17 pm. There has already been 2 meals (one I had to cook) but didn’t stray one bit. I really can’t wait for today to be over… All this food is VERY tempting. I swear if I don’t step on that scale and see a loss tomorrow, I might...

Day 19 - VLCD
Weight 207 (-0.4 lbs loss)
Total (-15.4 lbs)
Well… It’s a small loss, but it’s a loss non-the-less. When I step on the scale and see the small losses I get disappointed, but I need to get out of my head that I will lose a pound a day, and realize what I’ve done so far is amazing. As a woman, my average weight-loss should be anywhere from .5 to 1 pound a day, and I’m...

The apple day was a success… Thank God because it was not fun. I’m a little over 5 pounds above my lowest weight. And just over 7 till I get to wonderland! I have my eyes on the prize, and REFUSE to hang around 200 again without breaking through… REFUSE!
Back to the regular VLCD eating today… It’s actually welcome...

Weight 209.0 (+0.2 lb gain)
Total -13.4 lbs loss
NOOOO!!! ugh… I hate the gains, even if they are tiny. So what I need to do is look at my diet yesterday and find any mistakes, or anything that could have contributed to the gain. 1. Cottage cheese - they say you can have it on the diet, but they also say that some people don’t have success with it. 2. Water - ok ok… I...

YAY… out of the Two-Teens! Haven’t been here in a while. It feels good, my pants are starting to fit comfortably again… ugh they were getting SO tight! I’m glad I made this decision to do HCG. I know there is a lot of skeptical people out there, and I know the had part is going to be keeping it off after the VLCD part is complete....

Total -12
HALF WAY THERE!!!! I’m not gonna lie… Sticking to this low calorie diet it tough… So many temptations. I’m proud to say I’ve remained steadfast. (except for the alcohol twice… But I won’t make that mistake again). This diet is all about planning…without doing that, you will fail. Plan your meals, set...

Weight: 211.2 (+0.8 lb gain)
total: -11.2 lbs
Gah! My first gain! Boo no good. It wasn’t massive so time to regroup today and get it off. I did start my menstrual cycle today (sorry guys tmi) so I do know what the gain is from (that and probably lack of water again yesterday). Today however so far I am drinking tons more water. I also must commit for the remaining 16 days left on...
Day 13 - VLCD
Weight 210.4 (-0.4 lbs loss) Total -12 lbs
Another small loss :( BOO… I am about to start my period though, so that might have something to do with it. Also, last night I went out dancing and had a couple shots of Gin (not in the diet..) so that may be a contributing factor as well. My water intake has been crap. I am getting MAYBE 1-2 bottles of water in a day… that must change. I...

Not much on the news front. Weight loss slowed today. Maybe lack of water…hardly getting any in. Not good.

A average of a pound a day… Not bad. Today was a little hard on getting dinner in because I went to the mall with my friend and my daughter. As you are probably aware, the food court has near NOTHING I can eat on plan. McDonalds, Hot Dog on a Stick, Chinese, Philly Cheese Steak… Gah! As my friend and daughter sat there and ate Chinese...

Woohoo!!! The dreaded first 10 GONE!
Today we celebrated my moms birthday. I bought her a red velvet cake (my favorite) and vanilla ice cream. I won’t lie, it was HARD to keep from taking a nibble. My mind kept saying “common a little taste won’t hurt… I will be worth it, even if you don’t lose tomorrow…...

No gain from yesterday! YAY! Not much to say today… It’s a little tempting when people eat in front of me… It looks sooooo good. I keep reminding myself… Only 21 more days. It helps to remember this is not forever and in no time I will be able to add a lot more variety to my food. I cant wait.

Another good day. Eating out or away from home has proved challenging though. On Fridays I typically don’t go home from work, I forgot about making something to eat and was stuck wondering what the heck I was gonna eat.
Before my friends and I got the the club I stopped at KFC and ordered a grilled chicken breast. I took off the skin and dug in....

Oops forgot to post yesterday… Sorry! So I’m hoping my weight loss keeps going steady. I haven’t stepped in the scale yet this morning. But a pound a day? I’ll take it!
I was talking to my friend yesterday and she is completely against this diet… I don’t know what to tell her to ease her mind except “just read...

Total 4.4
4.4 in 4 days… Yeah… Not too shabby :))))) I just am hoping by the end of this first round I can break through the 200’s. But I’m still not gonna get my hopes up.
Today was another good day. My boss even mentioned why I was so happy. Haha… Not sure.
Right now it’s 10:46pm. I’m tired and am laying in bed ready...
Anonymous asked: really looking forward to your daily progress! i just started my day 2 of the drops and am very very skeptical but also excited. my starting weight was 202 but after my 2 load days it was 205.5. I really hope it helps the process, cause if not, that's 3 more pounds i have to lose. =[ But I hope i can stick to the 500 calories/day.

Day 4 - VLCD
Weigh in: 219.2 (.2 lbs loss) Total -3.2
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed with the small weight .2 loss today… But I’ll take it anyways. I look at my diet yesterday and I think I had too much salt. Also, I had 93% lean ground beef for the second time in 4 days… I’m really supposed to limit ground beef.
My stomach feels a bit flatter… That’s always a good thing. Another...

Day 3 - VLCD
Weigh in: 219.4 (1.6 loss)
Total -3 lbs
Today I stuck to plan completely again. It’s not that hard, even though I still feel a bit of hunger in the morning when I wake and right until I eat lunch. After lunch, there isn’t much more. I heard this will subside soon, and that I will welcome.
I am happy with my weight loss thus far, but want to start SEEING results. I know, I have to...
Day 2 - VLCD
Weigh in: 221.0 (-3.4 loss)
Total -1.4
Woke up this morning happy to see a bit of a loss. After dinner last night I was satisfied and didn’t feel anymore hunger for the remainder of the night. Also, this morning I didn’t feel hungry at all. I did have my apple for my breakfast instead of waiting to have it for lunch, I think that holds me off from being too famished by the time lunch...
WatchHCG … Yes I’m in Ketosis. Aka: fat burning mode.
Day 1 - VLCD
Weigh in: 224.4 (.2 lb gain)
Total (2 lbs gain)
Thank God it isn’t as bad as it could have been. I’ve read about people gaining up to 10 pounds on the gorge part of this diet. Let’s just hope I ate enough these past two days however. Now that THAT is behind me, I can start to focus on losing.
10:56 pm: today went well. The morning was easy. I didn’t even start...
Day 2 - Gorge day
Weigh in: 224.2 (gain 1.8)
The gain was to be expected since I ate SO much food yesterday. I honestly can’t wait to have restrictions. I work best that way. Today I have to eat a lot again… And I have to say “I’m over it.”
I have to start planning for tomorrow and the next 30 days. I have some stuff like the chicken and apples… But there is still more stuff I need. Looks like I’ll be going to...

Day before I begin...
Well.. this is it. I finally got my HCG in the mail today and I will begin with Day 1 tomorrow (that is a “gorge day”) Really kinda worried about that… I don’t really need to gain anymore weight… ugh. But it’s supposed to be for the good of my weight loss, so I will just trust the experts. Tomorrow I will begin my day with a weigh in, and body measurements....
