Round 1 phase 2 Day 6

weight: 264
Down: 1
total lost this round: 9
total lost over all: 9


Sorry kind of took the weekend off.  I know I know usually I do that when I have had a few bad days but no, not this time.  Just too busy to really take the time.   I am actually doing pretty well.  As you can see I am down 9 pounds in 5 days (cause today is actually the 6th day)   Best part is the ravenous hunger is GONE.  I am actually having trouble eating the amount of food I was supposed to eat for lunch today so I think that is awesome.   

Not too much else to add right now.  OH I will say my heart grew a few sizes this weekend when my 11 year old daughter told me 'mommy I can tell already' and she pointed right to the area I am noticing change in.  I usually have crazy stomach bloat but that is the first place I seem to be seeing change.   I really need to do measurements, I will try my best to get that done in the morning and add it to tomorrow's post.  Now where is that measuring tape? 

I am BACK and fatter than ever!

So I have been here before but I REFUSE to find myself here again.  My mind is in a better place than I have ever been before.  I have to do this for ME this time and I will do it.   

If you read my past blog posts you will see a few years ago I lost around 60 lbs on HCG.  I went from a 18/20 to size 14 jeans.  Reading that now makes me want to pure cry but I wont.  Life got in the way and I just have to accept I let myself get off track.  I am now the biggest I have ever been. (even bigger than when I was 9 months pregnant with my 9.4 pound baby!)  I refuse to spend anymore of my life being exhausted and embarrassed to leave the house.  It is time to get hold of my life!

My reward????? (well besides a happier life) My first Disney Cruise in the fall! I REFUSE to be embarrassed to leave my cabin! 

Once again I am going to give HCG a shot.  Only this time I am going pure with the original protocol which helped me lose 60 pounds the first time I did it.  No cheating!  


I actually started yesterday with my two loading days.  I am going to do 3 rounds to start.  My plan is to do 30 day rounds of very low calorie days with 21 days between each one where I will add in more calories to lock in the weight loss.  That will take me through September.  I am going to take a break from the HCG for my vacation and the holidays.  Depending on where I find myself at the end of my first three rounds will decide if I need to do anymore at that point.   

So stay tuned and cheer my on along this journey.  I would really love the support.   

again....I am back.

Funny I kind of dropped of the face of the planet almost TWO years ago exactly.  I was still trying to lose weight but I lost sight of blogging about it.  Go figure, I gained back EVERY thing I ever lost and then some.  I am now back up to almost 270lbs  and that is totally UNACCEPTABLE.  

I don't care if anyone ever reads this, this is for me.  So I can be accountable to myself.  

I am starting HCG again.  That seems to be the only thing that ever worked for me so I don't know why I walked away from it.  Actually I got cocky the last time I tried it and thought I could cheat which lead to a total waste of time.  NOT THIS TIME!  

So here goes.  Tomorrow I will start round one phase one day one (R1P1D1) I will have 2 days of loading and I am going to try to stick to high fat low carb, low sugar foods. Goals, I should put my goals here.  I am going to try to be optimistic while being realistic.  I have 4 rounds of HCG at my house ready to go.  My hopes with round one will be to just lose 20 to 30 pounds.  The guidelines of HCG say to expect .5 lbs a day, however the larger you are the more you tend to lose so I think this is a realistic goal.  


Wish me luck, I will be back soon to update more, including my actual weight/measurments and post my 'before pictures'.

Sorry I missed yesterday, I was in quite a funk. I totally caved and ate everything in sight. I am definitely and emotional eater! Anyway, I am lucky I am not up more than .9.

So. Today my daughter has to take her yearly testing and my son will be with my mother, I am very much looking forward to 3 hours to myself. I need it to regroup! I am trying to get my head back. It isn't fair that I let my emotions get to me so easily. Anyway today is another day and I will do this!

I hate weekends, I did a great job all day but my 3 yr old took a long late nap causing me to stay up late and I ended up snacking mindlessly.....here's to a big loss tomorrow :)

Stupid gymnastics....I didn't get around to making food before our three hour stint at gymnastics so I had dinner with the kids after 7 pm. I ate mostly allowed food (ok so I ate bacon which could be the culprit too but we are going to blame the late dinner). Anyway, I am going running today so it is probably ok that I am up a little. I am going to stay perfectly on protocol today and see what happens.....

Another great day! I stopped by the market and replenished my veggies. I also picked up some flat bread wraps which are allowed on this version of the diet. I have not eaten so well in the past year as I hE this week. (Except while we were at Disney of course!). If I can keep up this pace for a coups more days I should hit my fort small goal by the weekend and my first big goal of 199 is totally do able!

Oh on a somewhat unrelated note, I think I am going to try to do the no 'poo thing that is going around. My hair is pretty nasty today so no better time to start than the present,right?

Yesterday was good. I am actually completely out of veggies and I am having to seriously wing it on food until grocery day Friday but some how I am still down today(and down quite alot!). My goal now is not to get over zealous but to keep my eye on that first zero....come on 220. Really frustrating because I was there before but let myself slip in to old bad habits....not again! I am coming up on my 1 year mark doing this diet (end of May) my longer term goal is to hit 199 by my 1 year mark....can I do it??

Yesterday went well. I had two eggs(one whole and one white) for breakfast. Then lunch was crab legs and dinner was a grilled chicken salad from McDonalds with Waldon farms ranch dressing. I also had some beef stir fried when I got home last night and even slipped and had a few tootsie rolls( and still down 2.2 imagine if I had resisted the candy...something to remember!).

Everything around here has been so crazy since the move. I have had such a hard time focusing this entire year but now I am hopefully on track. I am trying the new, updated 800 calorie version with pellets. If I keep having a hard time I may have to look into switching back to drops or even injections. I hope this works though because the pellets are less expensive.....

Technical difficulties!

My Wii seems to have died! I can't get the remotes thingies to come on so I can't weigh myself!

That said I have had a mental health break, first my daughter was in the hospital, then I got my period and now my son is recuperating from dental surgery. In the down time I have decided to investigate the 800 calorie version of the diet. I bought the book and I am almost done reading it. It will be so much more interesting to my tongue because there is much more options to chose from.

I will be start the 800 calorie diet tomorrow. I hope my wii starts working by then, if not I will have to buy or borrow a cheap scale. Until then.....

R2P2D1 take two....

The day I last tried to start this my 8 year old daughter ended up in the hospital and I was not peered to stick to it while at the hospital and awake for 36 hours straight. So here we are tarting round 2 over again. I am using the pellets now. I have to say they are quite tasty! So now my starting weight is 229.9.....lets do this thing!!

R2P2D1

Weight 229.3

I am back, looking forward only. I am determined this will be my last round! I am trying pellets this round so we will have to see how that goes. Off to send Colin to school.

R1P2D23

Up 1.8

Being a woman sucks.

R1P2D22

I was up 1.8 yesterday but it didn't record on my Wii due to a technical issue so when today I was down .4 it really means down 2.2. So yay,

My weighing in is really getting messed up because my hubby has had a schedule change and he is still in bed when I am trying to weigh....stupid schedule!

I am a little worried about today because I was attempting to make some cookies (big fat fail but I still tried).

I also got a visit from my 'little friend' so who knows what that means for my weight tomorrow!

R1P2D21

Not much to report today. My whole house slept in so I couldn't weigh in but didnt really want to see the damage I did this weekend anyway...I broke down and weighed, just up 1.8 but I knew I would be. I am back on track today and hopefully it won't take much to get that back off. I switched to a new bottle(and brand) of drops. Change always makes me nervous....we will see how it goes

R1P2D18

current weight 217.2
down .2
total lost 13.2 .



Today I was just praying not to be up so I am grateful for the .2. I would like to say the low number is because I had lost 7 lbs between the two days prior BUT it is more likely because I am just weak and broke down and had some pop corn and had to try the cookies I made....like I said I am just thankful I am not up!

R1P2D16 I'm BAACCCKKK,

I am back! R1P2D16(I think that is the right day, lol). The weekend of the move messed me up a little, I weighed the day before yesterday and I was down .5 from the last time I weighed on my wii 8 days before which means anything I had lost on the other scale I gained back BUT since I was never really sure what I had lost I am not going to beat myself up over it, all I have seen on the Wii is a loss so I am going with that, lol. Today I am down 3.5 ( definitely back on track!!). Current weight is 219.8 total loss so far is 10.6. I am off my track of a pound a day but just by a little, I think I can get it back and even if I just continue to lose 1 a day I am still looking good for this round :)

woo hoo it is so nice to see almost 2 lbs gone in one day.  I almost feel bad though.  I did AMAZINGLY well all day yesterday even dealing with a large amount of stress but then right at the kids bedtime I caved and had a couple of handfuls of peanut m&m's.  I mean on one hand I am happy because it obviously didn't cause me too much trouble but it makes me wonder how much I would be down if I hadn't caved and eaten them.  

Well it's too late to worry about it now but I just have to avoid that going forward.  As for my food yesterday, I was running all day.  For lunch I had some precooked steak intended to be put on a salad but since I was still running like crazy I just ate the meat.  I had an apple between meals and after dinner.  For dinner I had stir fried shrimp and bok choy. 

Now off to start today.

Ok, I did pretty well yesterday.  Got all my drops in and loaded away.  Today we hit the ground running with the very low calorie diet part of this diet.  I am also going to start taking my African mango.  So far I do feel like I have had less appetite.  My biggest challenge will be not eating just because I want to eat.  Wish me luck.
