Hello again... Been a few days since I posted so I figured I better let you know how I am doing... The eating the VLCD is not going so bad after 5 days of extreme hunger my stomach finally shrank and I am not that hungry that often.... I had 2 minor treats this weekend.. 1/2 slice banana bread it was calling my name... NOw had some and I'm not fixating on it. Then yesterday we had no kiddos, sunny, and the hubs and I decided to take a cruise in the vette and he treated me to ice cream.. How could I say no...lol.. NO kids... So me being the 1 out of the 3 of us that didn't cheat failed... but that is all I plan on doing.... On the right track... So if you are wondering how it is going let me tell you...
Official weight: 179
Chest: 41 in
Waist 33
Hips 44....
That is a loss of 8 pounds in 7 days...WWOOOOHHOOO... 1 in off my chest and waist and 5/8 in off my hips... I am feeling so much better mentally about myself and my clothes aren't as snug... Nice bonus.....
Well I'm off to another day.. Good luck and happy weightloss!!!

4th day into VLCD
Hello all... Today is the official 4th day into the VLCD and I am proud to say down almost 2 more pounds. Weighed in today at 181.2... YEAH Baby... go, go, go... I did walk 35 minutes yesterday but much slower than I am used to... Got a little dizzy, can't imagine why..lmao.......so gonna walk every other day besides all my daily running around..
So if you are wondering, yes, I am hungry all day.. thought it would be getting better but its not. I am fighting myself everyday. I am hoping that one day soon the constant hunger stops. It is not painful just I know it is there and I fight temptations but the willpower and want is strong enough to resist......
I stayed in my calorie range of 509 calories yesterday.... Woohoo......okay off to drink more water and coffee!!!
Happy weight loss.....

A new day
Good morning,
It is another day and I figured I better weigh in... So my weight this morning....drum roll please 183..Woohoo another 2 pounds gone. I actually stepped on the scale and it said 180, and I had to do a double take, reposition the scale, then finally I'm like that can't be right... let it shut off, turned it back on and bam 183.0 and it has been consistent for a few times....lol... had to check....
So let me say that I was hungry all day yesterday... I chugged almost a gallon of water and the hunger was there...Although I will say it is not pains just stomach growling and me wanting to eat everything.
Why is it that when you tell yourself you can't have those things you want them more. My new idea this time is... I am doing this plan/fad by choice.. So if I truly wanted the crackers or bread or whatever I would eat it right!!! WRONG!!! because I choose to be thinner this time.....I'm hoping baring my soul and numbers will keep me on the weightloss track!!!
Will update tomorrow... Happy weight loss!!!

Results of the Weigh in
Good Morning,
So yesterday was the first official start of the Very low calorie diet... Figured I better post my yesterday stats so we can see how this changes. I think I will post my weight every few days and weekly measurements..... So here is the official weight first thing in the am was 187.6 but after being up and about and having a cup of coffee and ditching some of the water retention was 186.8... this is up a few pounds due to my loading days... not cool I say not cool... I"m gonna say the official start weight was
Weight 187
Measurements:
Chest: 42
waist: 34
Hips: 44 1/2 (UUGGGHHH) Photo of me on July 4, 2011
These are definitely not the Ideal 36, 24, 36....lol but hopefully they will shrink in the month to come.
So on to the day I did bike about 11 miles yesterday which is not recommended but it was my first day and I had just got done loading up, so i figured I was safe. But since the caloric intake is so low on this diet I figured I will make a point to walk at least 4 days a week maybe 5 but for only 30-45 minute session. I am gonna play it safe and see how I feel when walking, If I need to adjust I will.
The very low calorie diet (vlcd) went pretty well....I was hungry at times but nothing a little mental push and water won't cure....lol.....I wanted to see how many calories I truly at, so I used my Sparkpeople.com account and came in at 538, so for a 500 calorie a day diet... I was right on target..Woohoo... I am monitoring my progress on sparkpeople to... cause I like graphs and they graph everything for me...
So day two is here and the official weigh in today was 185.. Not to bad couple pounds gone... WOOhooo...Wish me luck today and I shall report back later.....
Happy weight loss!!!

HCG Diet
Well after trying the calorie counting thing and not truly losing anything quickly and with my self-loathing at an all time high. I need to do something and do something quick. So after talking with Dawn (who secretly started this without my knowledge) I am now trying the HCG diet. Of course because I have issues with hormones we are starting the HCG Platinum X-30 which is an all natural herbal version of HCG with the same effects as the hormones. I am sad I am jumping on the fad diet band wagon but I need to do something to help me and help me fast. I am almost feeling like self destruction and I need a pick me up.
Well as I stated before my doctor appointment went.. you guessed it normal. All blood work was perfect with the exception of my thyroid it was almost abnormal. But not enough to treat. So I still feel tired, dry hair, nails, skin, weight gain, you name it I got it. So Now I am also trying the natural doctors and I have this appointment on the 19th, I am gonna do this to see if some supplements might help regulate my wacky system. Cross your fingers for me.
Well I officially started the HCG thing yesterday. This is by far the weirdest diet to date for me. The first two days you take the oral drops and eat horrible. I mean eat whatever you want... sky's the limit, no caloric boundaries.. Here is the funny thing. I don't want any of it. been forcing myself to eat bad... But tomorrow is the day I officially start the very low calorie diet of 500 calories a day.....Now I know this may seem extreme but the HCG drops actually target your abnormal fat and tell your body to eat it, in turn you are burning more than enough calories to sustain and not feel weird..... Dawn keeps telling me to eat, eat, eat so I won't be hungry... I am trying......lol... so feel i almost feel sick.....I will post stats tomorrow... more weight gain, shocker and inches for you all... I'm baring it all this time.... what else do I have to lose...
Until the am......
