HCG Diet Update

I took my last drops on Thursday March 4th and here are my totals from then.

Weight lost: 19.8lbs
Inches lost: 25.25

All pictures go from Day 1 to Day 20 to Day 44 in each row.

Busy Busy....

I know I have neglected to keep up to date with my blog! Between work being slammed and home life just out of control, I rarely have the ability to sit and relax for a few and type anything. So I am taking a few minutes today to do just that.

I have several pictures I need to upload of misc items. My daughter drew a penguin on her boyfriends valentines card and she is quite the artist. I took a picture to share here. I also have been working on my hubby's rag throw blanket. I am just about done and will share that as well.
We have really started working on the house and getting that prepped to be sold. I bought a new unfinished kitchen table and have been staining and painting that. I have one more coat of paint on the legs to do and then sand the top and do another coat of polyurethane. I didn't take before pictures as I was too anxious to get started but I will take after pictures. Now I need to find some kitchen chairs that I can paint. Hubby won't let me touch my current set. :o(

On the weight loss front here are my stats:
Starting weight: 145.6
After Load weight: 147.6
Day 29 VLCD: 131.4 and a whopping 20.75 inches lost!!!
So I am down 16.2lbs in a month! I am happy about that. I am nearing the end of the diet though and I am happy about that too. I am ready to starting adding new foods back in and maintaining the weight loss. I would like to lose just a few more pounds though. I am hoping to get to 128 before this round is over.

Diet Update

Well the update is good! I am handing the diet well and the food choices really aren't that bad.
I am down 9lbs since Jan 25th and several inches now. I did up my dose on Sat from 0.5 to 0.6 because I was still dealing with a lot of hunger and being very tired. After upping the dose I feel much better!

So here are the results:
Pre Load: 145.6
After Load: 147.6
after 7days on the Low Cal: 138.6

Total weight loss so far: 9lbs in 1week! I am thrilled

I will do pictures after 2wks so there will hopefully be some very visible change. I can see a difference in my clothes so that is good.

Woohooo

Ok so today is day 3 of my low cal portion of the HCG diet.

I woke up to a loss of 2.4lbs after 2 days on the low cal portion.

So my total is now 5.4lbs lost in 2 days! AWESOME!

Starting weight: 145.6
after Load weight: 147.6
Current weight: 142.2

I will post some before pictures and pictures as I go through the process. I am not sure weekly pictures will be best or maybe every 2wks.

Tuesday Happenings

Okay so I have kind of fallen off the posting train.
In the past week I have started the HCG diet, more on that in a minute. I have made a little makeup bag for my friends birthday and have given it to her without taking pictures....Bad me I know. It was so cute too.
She loved it!
My daughter has gotten her drivers license and I freak out everytime she drives away!
I think there is a virus on our main computer at home. Hubby was on it and said it started doing all kinds of pop ups and such and I am thinking he clicked on one and it downloaded a virus. Of course he says he clicked on nothing. No clue. Thankfully we only spent $40 on the tower from my work and my son doesn't use his very often so we are going to swap them around. Well either get the one fixed or just get rid of it. No we didn't have updated virus protection on our computer but I didn't mind with a $40 computer.

Anyway...On to my new diet.

I started on Sat the 23rd and had to load up on foods the first 2 days and start the drops those days too. It was HARD! I am not used to eating so much. By Sat night I didn't want to look at food with out fear of vomitting. Then on Sunday I was not hungry but forced it anyway. I gained 2lbs during my load days which is fine.
Then on Monday I started my low calorie portion along with my HCG drops. It wasn't bad. I was a tad hungry/snacky but I stuck to my strict diet and it was good. So I stepped on the scale this morning to do my morning weigh in and I am down 3lbs! So I have lost the 2lbs from loading and another pound.

So here is where I started:
145.6 on Sat morning Day 1
147.6 on Mon morning Day 3
144.6 pm Tues morning Day 4

I feel good and excited about this.
