HCG Success Daily
A journey to healthy
0 notes &
Had a little hiccup in weight loss yesterday… I actually GAINED .8 pounds. I knew what it was though… The night before I ate a large steak BBQ’ed by the Bf and it was late in the evening… I’m sure it still weighed on me the morning after. Moving on.
Yesterday I was in unfamiliar territory where I had to grab something quick to eat in a hurry and get back to work for an appointment. my choices were TacoBell: nothing hCG compatible / Applebee’s: no time / Subway: over it / Panda Express: hmmmm I wonder. So I went in with HOPES they had something I can make due with. Rice and chow mien were COMPLETELY out of the question. Everything besides the steamed veggies seemed to be cover with some sort of carb and calorie filled gravy of some sort. So my last option was to just start looking at the calories. Beef and Broccoli only had 190 calories per serving! So… That’s what I got.. A medium side of B&B for a total of about 380 calories. It will have to do. When eating out gets easier… The diet gets easier. I skipped dinner since I already was pretty much at my calorie limit for the day and had an orange and Melba toast instead… BTW: navel oranges are SO juicy right now!! *drool*
4/22/12: yesterday’s WI 183.2 / today’s WI 181.4 / -1.8 from previous / -11.6 from round start / -80.8 from highest / +20.4 from lowest

VLCD Day 11: My entire day was eating out. Sometimes that’s just where the day leads. Started with coffee from Starbucks in the a.m. (Black 2 sweet n low) Then came Lunch…El Pollo Loco grilled chicken salad (nix the tortilla strips, corn, and cheese) covered in pico de gallo and chili roja salsa. I had a diet soda also (a treat to myself) followed by dinner with the BF at TGI Fridays. Started with a shared shrimp cocktail for appetizer… for the main course I had a petite sirloin with double broccoli hold the butter. I also had 2 rum and diet cokes with dinner :) once on a while this is okay…. Just don’t make a habit of it.
All my clothes that I had to dig out of the closet (because my smaller clothes were beginning not to fit me again) are starting to become loose on me again. My BF even mentoned that my pants look baggy around the behind area and they aren’t hugging my curves like they usually do… (obviously I know what HE was looking at as I was walking away ;) ) Now for the fun part…stats.
4/20/2012: Yesterday’s WI: 183.6 / Today’s WI 182.4 / -1.2 from previous day / -10.6 from round start / -79.8 from heaviest / +21.4 from lowest.

Day 6: Nice loss today! Didn’t know what to expect because last night I had 3 shots of vodka mixed in seltzer water. I tested my ketones in the middle of the night and it wasn’t showing trace… But when I woke up and tested again I was still in ketosis.
Usually 3 shots of vodka would just give me a slight buzz, but eating only 500 calories a day I was pretty buzzed after just the first drink! So you can imagine how I was feeling after 3.
Truth be told I didn’t eat dinner last night. I did eat my apple and Melba Toast, but was out and about until late after drinks and just didn’t feel like trying to figure out something to eat. Wasn’t hungry, but I know I should NOT do this, and I don’t on a regular basis.
Had a Starbucks coffee this morning that gave me a stomach ache, asked for one cream and the coffee tasted real thick. Wasn’t good at all…bleck. So now I am spending my day off lounging on the couch watching a ”Sex and the City” marathon waiting for my stomach to feel better so I can start cleaning this damn house. :)
Hope you are having a great Sunday!!!
4/15/2012- 186.2 / -2.4 previous day / -6.8 from round start / -76 from heaviest / +25.2 from lowest

Round 4 hCG ~ VLCD Day 9
Day 7 weigh in ~ 168 (-1.4 lbs from lowest weight of 169.4) (-5 lbs from R4 Starting weight of 173) (-54.4 lbs From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-94.2 total lbs from highest at 262.2)
Weight loss is a little slower then usual… But I expected this. It’s also “that time of the month” so…. Yeeeeah.
Thus far, it has been the easiest round. I’m not feeling at all deprived or hungry. I got so busy yesterday I forgot to cook dinner, so I just had an apple and a melba toast and called it a night.

Round 4 hCG ~ VLCD Days 1-3
Day 3 weigh in ~ 174.4 (+1.4 lbs from R4 Starting weight of 173)
Sorry, I’m in the process of moving and I do not have Internet as of yet…. Life has been hectic. I will continue to post on my phone…as often as I can until I’m connected again.
During Gorge I GAINED about 8 pounds!!! I did something right because I am not hungry in the least bit as of yet. :D I don’t even feel like I’m REALLY on this diet… Woohoo!
My bloat from the gorge is almost gone and I’m almost down to my R4 starting weight!
It works… IF YOU WORK IT!!!!!

Round 4! … It’s about friggin TIME!
Round 4 hCG ~ Loading Day 1
Beginning weigh in after maintenance 173. End of round 3 weigh in ~ 169.4 (+3.6 lbs gain during maintenance) (-49.4 lbs From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-89.2 total lbs from highest at 262.2)
Only 3.6 up from my lowest? Not too bad! I did do a steak day yesterday however to bring my weight back down a bit before the beginning. I got up to 177 :O .. The important part is… I’m back doing it again.
I strategically planned my two loading days to land on my birthday and the day after (you know, for left over cake :D ) So yes, that would be today… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEE.
It’s gonna take some getting used to blogging again, but it keeps me motivated so I will try my best to blog everyday during protocol.
My goal for this round is 20 pounds, that would bring me to 153… SO CLOSE TO GOAL! I know it will be a little harder to reach the 20 this time because I am so close to my goal of 145… but I will make every attempt to reach it. If I only lose 15 during this round… I won’t beat myself up over it.

Check in
Just want to check in with you all and let you know I’m still here. Still maintaining 2-3 pounds within my lowest. Today is my last day for phase 3. Tomorrow I begin phase 4 where I add back ((slowly)) sugars and starches. This where where you have to be careful not to gain, learn moderation, and learn how to maintain for life (once at goal).
Game plan for phase 4: (these are only my personal choices because I know what triggers me, yours might be different)
no French fries (only sweet potato fries are allowed)
no desserts
only one whole wheat bread item a day
remain majority low carb while not depriving myself.
Only 3 more weeks till I begin losing again!! So excited!

Round 3 hCG ~ VLCD Final Weigh in and thoughts
Final weigh in ~ 169.2 (-.2 lbs from previous day) (-20 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (-53.2 lbs From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-93 total lbs from highest at 262.2)
Done. Finished. Finito.
What a long 36 days. But I’m at the other side and it feels good. The point two weight loss this morning brings me to a loss of 20 pounds this round exactly.
I have found what works for me, and I work it. There has been nothing as successful as this has been. When I am on plan, I do not faulter, I do not cheat, I do not give up because I know, that even though I can’t eat the foods I want to now… they are not gone from my life forever. When I reach my goal, I will be happier then I can imaging. My life is changing dramatically.. I am growing.. and I love it. Life is somehow…. different.

Round 3 hCG ~ VLCD Day 31
Day 31 weigh in ~ 170.6 (-.8 lbs from previous day) (-18.6 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (-51.8 lbs From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-91.6 total lbs from highest at 262.2)
I made a orange steak salad yesterday for dinner… the orange made it yummy!
Gah… so close to 160’s AND to 20 pounds lost. Scale don’t fail me now. With only 5 days left to go on VLCD I see the light. My weight loss has been steady these past couple days so I’m not gonna mess up what I have been doing. I have the potencial to lose at least 2-3 more pounds if I keep losing .6-.8 pounds per day.
I found this picture on my friends computer yesterday that was taken about a year ago. I was probably about 220 pounds or so. I looked a hot mess and have no idea why she took that picuture of me, but I wanted to REMAKE that picture to see the difference…I will remake it again when i get to goal. LOOK!
I see a HUGE difference in my hips and my waist. I didn’t realize the difference until I put on the same pants and shirt I was wearing at the time the first pic was taken. It makes me happy, I couldn’t stop staring at it last night before bed. Does that make me neurotic?
