So lets be real… I gained a bit and not too happy about it but I’m here to fix it. So now for the boring stuff…stats.

My all time lowest was 161… (32 pound gain… yikes)

My all time highest was 262.2 (-69.2 pounds loss)

Beginning measurements November 4, 2010 (inches):

• Bust: 41 
• Arm: 15

And my lowest Round 4 July 20, 2011 (inches):

• Arm: 14 (+1)
• waist: 33 (+4)
• hips: 50.5 (+6.5-I can see where most the weight went :/)

I hate these numbers… but it’s a necessity to broadcast them.. keep me accountable. Hopefully we can see big changes this round. I will post my post gorge weight tomorrow.

*sigh* lets do this

Day 32 weigh in ~ 170.4 (-.2 lbs from previous day) (-18.8 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (-52 lbs From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-91.8 total lbs from highest at 262.2)

.2? POINT TWO? Really?!?!

*cover your ears guys* My period is about to start in two days, *okay you can uncover them now* So I hope this isn’t it for me this round. If it is, I am okay with that… but I really hope it’s not. I wanted to be out of the 170’s by the end of the round. One last push for victory Amber.

Only 4 days remaining on Phase 2… let the countdown begin :D

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?

Day 29 weigh in ~ 172.2 (-.2 lbs from previous day) (-17 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-50.2 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-90 total lbs!!!)

Yup… officially down 90 pounds from my all time highest weight…. VERY exciting! :D

I think I am going to do an apple day today, weight loss has been a little slow the past couple days… (.2), (.4)… GAH. I don’t feel I HAVE to, but I do want to get under the 170’s by the end of this protocol, and time is a wasting. Next Tuesday I begin No Sugar, No Starch… CAN’T wait! I have SO much I wanna make :D

Still 2.3 pounds till I make my round goal…. LET’S GO!

Day 28 weigh in ~ 172.4 (-.4 lbs from previous day) (-16.8 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-50 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-89.8 total lbs)

Well, yesterday’s weigh in seems to have been pretty accurate!

I’m officially 50 pounds down on hCG since November 2010! …and omg only .2 pounds away from being 90 lbs down from my highest! Wowzer….

When this round is complete I will make another YouTube video…

ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT!!!

Day 19 weigh in ~ 176.2 (-.8 lbs from previous day) (-13 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-46.2 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-86 total lbs)

Water… that’s the trick to making the scale move while on hCG. Not sure why I can’t get that through my thick skull. I drank alot of liquids yesterday. Water included… and somehow I knew the scale was going to move this morning… **AMBER DRINK MORE WATER** There are so many benefits to it, but for some reason… I just don’t drink it.

Lets photo copy yesterday, enlarge it a bit… and do it again today!

Amber, next time you have a small loss, (this or next round) or a stall… read back to this post and remember….

Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water, Water.

Day 18 weigh in ~ 177 (-.2 lbs from previous day) (-12.2 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-45.4 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-85.2 total lbs)

So I felt as though I was FAR behind on weight loss comparing to my previous rounds, but yesterday I went back to my blogs and found that I am almost perfectly on track! I am a little behind, but very close. Last Round on day 18 I was 13 pounds down, and in Round 1 Day 18 I was 15 pounds down. This is why I love to blog everyday while I’m on protocol… I can go back and see that I’m doing just GREAT! :D

Went out to eat for the first time on protocol this round. Went to a little diner, and had a steak (spit it with a friend) cooked in NO BUTTER or OIL, and a side salad with red wine vinegar. I also had like a billion black teas with S&L. Since you can’t weigh your meat before they serve it to you, you kinda have to eye-ball it. I might of went slightly over, but it felt good to eat out.

…. come on weight-loss, lets pick this shit up! :D

Day 16 weigh in ~ 178 (-0 lbs from previous day) (-11.2 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-44.4 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-84.2 total lbs)

….frustrated.

…………..

Not sure what my body is doing… But I don’t like it. So many thoughts as to why my body isn’t releasing this weight.

1. Sweet n Low (having 1-2 packets a day)
2. Miracle noodles (it does stall SOME people)
3. Not enough water
4. Passion iced tea (no syrup) from SB every day
5. I didn’t add time between rounds
6. My body just wants to fight me till the end.

Whatever it is… My body needs to start cooperating with my efforts…. Now.

Day 13 weigh in ~ 179.2 (+.2 lbs from previous day) (-10 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-43.2 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-83 total lbs)

Day 14 weigh in ~ 179 (-.2 lbs from previous day) (-10.2 lbs from R3 Starting weight of 189.2) (From beginning 1st round at 222.4 (-43.4 lbs) From highest at 262.2 (-83.2 total lbs)

Yep… I’ve hit it. So now it’s time to fix it (or attempt to do so). “How?” You ask…. The dreaded apple day. I hate it… But it’s a necessary evil in this diet. So…. I eat an apple every 2-3 hours beginning at noon, with only a small amount of water to quench your thirst if needed (you get water from the apples) needless to say I will be sick of apples by the end of the day.

Why an apple day?: wow, you are full of questions aren’t ya?

The apple day stimulates your body to eliminate the retention of liquids which may be the influencing factor of your scale not budging. The weight loss usually continues when going back to the 500 calorie a day diet… And water retention typically does not return.

here’s hoping for a better tomorrow. :D
