R3 P3 Day # ??

Ok, here's the deal.  I have no idea what I weigh.  I haven't been on the scale since TOM came.  My clothes seem to be fitting the same, so I'm not going to worry too much.  I plan on eating lots and NON Phase 3 foods Christmas Eve and Christmas day.  I will go right back onto Phase 3 foods after Christmas until Dec. 31st in which I will start loading for round 4 and I'll be doing a 6 week round along w/ my good friend Amanda.  She's doing hcg for the 1st time and really needs someone to be doing it w/ her.  I probably won't be blogging until I start round 4.....it's just too busy w/ Christmas stuff going on and I don't plan on getting on the scale anyway.  I'm really excited to begin another long round.....I should be in onederland by the time I through, woohoo!  Merry Christmas!!♥

I think I'm going to hold off weighing myself again until TOM is over and has moved on. 

I am really enjoying getting into the Christmas spirit.  I must confess I could live in my kitchen baking all day long.  I wish I wasn't no judgemental.  When I bake Christmas goodies not only do they have to taste amazing but I want them to look perfect.  I get annoyed when I see thrown together Christmas goodies that are ugly and taste gross.  I know that's mean....but I can't help it......it drives me crazy!  lol

Well I'm up another pound today.  Boooo!  Flipping TOM!  Oh well.  Today is my last day of drops.  It stinks that my LDW is 2 lbs more that what I weighed last week.  I'm not going to be sad or bummed.  I'm going to look forward to starting my 6 week round come Jan 1st.  I hope to far surpass my old set point and move into some fun new territory.....aka in ONEderland!!  lol

I'm so lost as to what VLCD day I'm on haha.

I lost .6 lbs today putting me at exactly 50 lbs down.  I'm still a lb up from TOM starting.  I'm going to drink lots and lots of water today....maybe try a mini steak day and before bed tonight I'll take a detox bath.  I'm getting so excited for Christmas! I have all my gifts purchased for the kids and for my family.  It's time to start wrapping and mailing every out.  CHA CHING!  I wish it wasn't so expensive to mail out gifts. 

R3 Can't remember which day I'm on ;)

Well yesterday I gained 1/2 a pound.  I had been up to my elbows in buttery cookie dough the day before so maybe that had something to do w/ it.  I've heard many times that handling fats and oils w/ your hands (skin) can cause gains and or stalls.  lovely
On top of that fun news TOM has deceided to come and visit resluting in another full pound gain this morning.  I'm ok with it though.  It always comes off when TOM leaves.  I usually gain about 2 lbs during it, so we'll see what tomorrow has in store for me.  Overall I'm not bummed.  I know I'll get back down to my 51 lb loss and keep moving towards my goal.  By the time TOM is over and done I'll be done with this round.  Such is life I suppose. 

I saw a girlfriend of mine today.  I went and gave her my HCG book so she can start getting familiar w/ it.  She's going to start loading on Dec. 31st.  I haven't seen her in about a month.  She just kept staring at me and I finally said, "what is it?  Do I have something on my face?".  She told me that she just couldn't believe how different I look.  She's never seen me this small before.  YAY!  That made me feel really good.  All in all despite this round being really hard and not losing much weight, I feel very positive and can't wait to keep going.  ♥

No weight lost today.  It doesn't really bum me out too bad though.  After losing 5 1/2 lbs in 3 days I figure my body has some "catching up" to do.  I have a bunch of holiday baking to do today.  I need to stay strong. 

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lost 2.2 lbs today!  Making for a nice round even loss of 51 lbs!!!!!  I finally caught you 50 lbs and I SMASHED YOU!  I'm just  half a pound away from getting into the 2-teens.  ♥

Released another .6 lbs today!  I'm almost out of the 220's and even closer to hitting that 50 lb mark.  Woot woot!  For all you guys still on the VLCD, stay strong.  You CAN do this!♥

I was very excited to wake up to a 2.6 lb loss.  Only 1.8 more lbs to go before I hit the elusive 50 lb mark.  Yay!!!!  I was soo scared with the weird gains and stalls lately but after much research and talking to various people I'm convinced I've been stuck at an old set point.  About 8 years ago I was working at Java on Sherman and a baker at night and a barista/manager by day.  I was about this weight for a little over a year.  The end of round 2 I ended up ending a few days early because I just wasn't losing anything.  Makes sense if I'd hit that set point and it explains why it's taking me 13 days to move past it in this round.  Good grief!  I guess Dr. Simeons actually knew what he was talking about.  ;)

I feel great today.  Zero hunger, I don't feel swollen like I did yesterday.....overall really good.  I feel confident that I'll get to my 50 lb goal by this weekend and then I can start looking ahead to my 100 lb goal.  It'll be fun just to get to where I was when I was dating my husband.  I was about 170-175 lbs and I felt really good in my skin.  I'm even more excited to see what I look like at my idea weight.  I haven't been at my idea weight since I was 8 years old.  That will be a VERY good day.♥

Up 2 lbs again today.  I can feel it in my jeans.  WTHeck is going on??  This round is not going well at all.  I'm not sure what it causing these crazy weight fluctuations.  phooey!

R3 VLCD 11

Well the 2lbs came off today.  Good grief, I'm tired of the back and forth.  I'm glad it's back off though.  Hopefully tomorrow I'm closer to my 50 lb target.  ♥

Ummmm I'm not sure what's going on.  My scale showed a gain of 2 lbs this morning.  I don't know if it's the scale or what.  I'm determined that no matter what happens I won't stress out.  I finally went to Costco and bought some detox bath ingredients.  I have a date w/ the tub this evening.  =)

I am still sick.  I cannot seem to get rid of the runny nose and cough.  I'm wondering if being sick is causing my weight to do funny things.  Who knows.  Either way, I'm not giving up. 

Have a wonderful Sunday ladies!  ♥

Lost .6 lbs today, I'll take it!   47.6 lbs down, woohoo! 

Getting so close to 50 lbs down and getting out of the 220's.  It cannot get here fast enough. 

R3 VLCD #8

YAY I woke up to a 1 lb loss.  Whew!  47 lbs down as of today.  Let's hope things stay moving in the right direction....at least until my next session of massage therapy.    I feel really really good today.  Hunger is no where to be found.  I feel super energetic today and very positive. 

Have a wonderful day all of you HCG'ers!♥

I'm up another .4 lbs from yesterday.  This time I know exactly why.  I had another session of massage therapy yesterday and the gal always says it'll show a bit of a gain the following day.  I'm not sure if I should do an apply day or just continue w/ the protocol and let things work themselves out.  I'm not going to stress, I'm not going to allow it to bother me.  I need my back in good working order and if it means it slows down my weight loss, so be it.  I'm not giving up.  I'm not quitting.  I'm going to continue my journey until my goal is reached.  So as of today I'm sitting at 46 lbs lost.  That gosh darn elusive 50lbs!  I'm coming to get you!!!!

Oh I forgot to mention.....in the last few days my jeans have been fitting waaaaay better so I took my measurments again this morning and I've lost 55 inches!  woohoo!!!  I cannot complain about that at all.  =)

UPDATED INFO!

So I went to get my adjustment done and a massage this morning.  The gal who does my massages also lost a bunch of weight on homeopathic hcg so that always makes me feel good.  She also uses only coconut oil when doing massages....which of course is the only oil allowed while on protocol.   When I got home I got undressed and got on the scale again.  I just couldn't believe I'd gained 1.8 lbs overnight.  Behold it showed only a .2 lb gain.  I'm still mad that it shows a gain at all......but .2 is easier to deal with than 1.8!!

TOM?? COLD??? Who knows

Ummmm freaked out a little bit this morning.  My scale said I gained almost 2 lbs.  This cold my son gave me does not want to leave.  It's never really developed into anything full blown....just kind of lingering there quietly.  When I lay down to go to bed at night it feels like I have a bunch of fluid in my lungs and I start coughing like crazy.  I finally used some nasal spray last night so I could fall asleep.  Yesterday I ate pefectly and drank my gallon of water.  I know good darn well that whatever I gained is purely water weight.  I doubt I even ate a pound of food yesterday.  Since TOM comes and goes at his own free will.....never regularly.....I'm wondering if that's also the cause of the mystery gain.  Oh well.  I'll stick to the protocol again today and take a detox bath before bed tonight and see if that helps anything.
