My NSV (Non Scale Victory)

I have a pretty funny non-scale victory! The husband and I stopped at a grocery store, he went to stand in line for a coffee & I went to stand in line at our bank, which is very close to the coffee stand. A few minutes later I look back to see one of my HS friends walking up to him. I have not physically seen this friend since before I started HCG! When i turned around, the look on her face was PRICELESS with a hint of relief! She was getting ready to cuss The Husband out for being with another woman! She really didnt know it was me! That was such a good feeling on 2 levels... 1 she kept going on about how good I look & 2 I love how my girls have my back ;)

Thats my NSV!

R2 Start Weight = 187.0
Today's Weight = 182.4
From Load = -8.40
Total R2 Loss = -4.60

Well.... Slowly but surely the weight is coming off. My goal is to be strict on myself this weekend. The days I tend to stray away from protocol is Friday night - Saturday night.

This weekend I am going to look for some new jeans. You would think that after losing almost 50 pounds I would be excited to go clothes shopping!! I'm actually having anxiety about it. I'm literally down to my last pair of size 16 jeans and they are way too big for me. My husband tried to grab my butt the other day and wound up with a handful of jean material :) My fear is I will get in the dressing room and struggle to fit into a pair of size 14's.

I work in a hospital and wear medical scrubs daily to work. I really need new scrubs too! But again, I'm scared to buy more in fear that they won't fit. My current ones are so bad that I now walk on the back of my bottoms and my tops hang off of me! And honestly, my coworkers are giving me a hard time about it.. but in a good way.

Am I insane? Or does anyone else fear clothes shopping? I know the fears go back to me being MUCH heavier and getting depressed because I didn't like the way clothes fit or refused to buy "my true size".

It's Superbowl Weekend!! Hope everyone has a great time and temptations stay away! :)

R2 Start Weight = 187.0
Today's Weight = 185.4
Total R2 Loss = -1.60

I'm so excited today is finally Friday! I'm still not back to my 100% self yet, but after this weekend I plan to start a new, fresh week. It seems like all my kids have "things to do and places to be" that don't require ME.. and when you have 4 kids, that's almost always a fluke. Oh, I forgot to mention the Mr has to work! So I will have a good chunk of time to just relax and start recovering from being sick all week. We might try and see a movie this weekend too, I need my will power to stay away from theater popcorn!

Enjoy your weekend!

Today's Weight = 186.6
R2 Start Weight = 187.0
Total R2 Loss = .4

Finally have lost all of my loading weight and now ready to see things move along a bit quicker. I've been sick since Saturday, so I know my loading days could have been better. I've been trying to stay true to protocol and making myself eat and drink when I didn't feel like it.

Today is the FIRST day that I've felt anywhere close to being back to human! I actually made it a full day at work too. Time to kick this HCG into gear and start losing again!!

Day 1 (Start Weight) 187.0 (LOAD)

I'm home today sick ;( Just wanted to do a quick update on how Round 2 started.

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 188.8 / Today - 188.6 (-.20)
Difference -8.00 / R1 Total Loss -35.40 / Total Loss -41.40

Well... I would count my Round 1 with HCG as a Successful Roun!! My total loss was 41.40 pounds. I also cound R1 as my learning Round. I feel like I learned so much about HCG & my body, willpower & strength!! I'm REALLY excited to start R2 tomorrow (yes, I know 1 day early)!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

R1P4D18 - Steak Day Results

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 191.8 / Today - 189.0 (-2.80)
Difference -7.60 / R1 Total Loss -35.00 / Total Loss -41.00

I can't believe it's been SO long since I've updated my blog :(

I've been doing pretty well in P4! I did a "steak day" yesterday because I had a total gain of +2.2 over Sunday/Monday. I know it was my own fault and my choices of eating were not on point AT ALL, so I decided to do it even tho I did not go over my LIW. I'm quite happy with the results! -2.80!

I'm going to start Round 2 on Saturday and can't wait to see how this Round goes for me! I will be doing the 26-day Protocol, which I'm hoping will be MUCH easier than my 46-day Round 1!!

Difference -6.40 / R1 Total Loss -33.80 / Total Loss - 39.80

I'm so excited that it's Friday! This has definitely been a long week for us. This weekend there will be a funeral service on Saturday. My youngest daughters soccer banquet falls on the same day/time so I will be taking her there instead while the other kids will go to the funeral. The youngest has been to a funeral before, but this is just something I don't want her to have to experience.

I'm hoping to work a short day today.. I really need some "me" time before I go home. Maybe I'll swing by TJ Maxx and see what goodies I can find!!

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 191.6 / Today - 190.8 (-.8)
Difference -5.80 / R1 Total Loss -33.20 / Total Loss - 39.20

This morning I woke up feeling much better than yesterday. My emotions aren't all over the place, although my youngest daughter is still having a hard time with everything. What helped to play a part in my change of mood is... I got on the scale this morning and I hit another one of my personal goals!! I am no longer obese according to the BMI calculator!! I have officially lost -39.20 pounds. I'm really looking forward to doing another Round the end of this month!!

R1P4D4

WOW.. I can't believe I made it to Phase 4!! I'm still continuing to stabilize and have not had to do a steak day.

Things in our world are SO rough right now. Definitely not how I envisioned starting 2011. Too much to post about. These are the times where I would have turned to food for comfort, but I'm trying really hard not to fall victim to my old habits.

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 194.0 / Today - 196.2 (+2.2)
Difference -.4 / Total Loss - 33.80

Ok... So my big 'ol loss yesterday was a fluke because my body found it again the very next day! Up 2.2? Whoa? I'm still under my LIW so I'm not doing a steak day. But I will definitely be watching the scale closely this Holiday Weekend!

R1P3D11

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 195.4 / Today - 194.0 (-1.4)
Difference -2.60 / Total Loss - 36.0

Question - I've been reading alot of support forums and have seen multiple times that you are NOT supposed to lose in P3. As of today, I am -2.60 from LIW. Several sites state that I should be eating MORE to gain back what I've lost. I'm so confused. I have been eating.. ALOT (of the things that I'm allowed to). To see a -1.4 loss this morning pretty much shocked me, although I'm not complaining :)

Any advice?

LIW - 196.6 / Yesterday - 195.6 / Today - 195.4 (-.2)

Difference -1.2 / Total Loss - 34.60

If you take a peek over there -->, you will notice that I hit my 3rd goal!!! 15% loss! WOOHOO! I couldn't find a 15% image, so I'll give myself a pat on the back!

This weekend was absolutely crazy here. We lost our power on Saturday (which was also our anniversary) and had to revise our original plans. There was no way we could leave the kids home in a cold house!! So we spent our anniversary out shopping with the kids. It was actually very pleasant! And for anyone who has 3 teenagers + 1 preteen, knows what I'm talking about!! ;)

Ok.. I'm off to check out everyone elses pages!

LIW - 196.6 / Today - 195.8 / Difference -.8

Today is my 1st day w/out an injection and doing VLCD. Well, not technically my FIRST day since I've done this a few times with TOM, but my 1st day in transition to P3. Tonight is my company's holiday party so this will be a big deal for me. Our party is being catered by 2 of our employees and all the goodies are in one of their offices. Lots of unacceptable goodies. Very yummy looking unacceptable goodies.

R1P2D44

Day 44 -.8 (P2 Total -27.4)

Today is my last injection!! I'm not gonna lie, I'm very nervous about moving to P3. I will take the advice and document what I eat and definitely count calories! I'm about to do a little research and find out what my average intake should be.

Is anyone doing the bodybugg while on HCG P3? I have one (the older model) and thought it would be a good way to track input vs output. I think the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is going back to the gym. I really miss taking the classes.. Step is my FAVORITE!

The next few days are going to be very busy here! 3 soccer games between today and Sunday, SUPPOSED to be going to a basketball game tonight )but I'm not sure if that's going to happen), My youngest has a spaghetti dinner to go to on Saturday (carbo loading the girls before the BIG game!), Oldest has to work in between all of this, ect... Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

R1P1D42-43

Day 42- -.4 (P2 TOTAL -25.2) TOM
Day 43- -14 (P2 TOTAL -26.6 TOM

I had my doctor appointment yesterday and found out that I calculated my days wrong. I didn't realize that if you continue after a 21 day cycle, then you go for 40 injections and then 2 days of continued VLCD. SOOOO.. that puts my last injection tomorrow and I'll start P3 on Sunday. Will someone please correct me if that is wrong? I had myself doing 42 injections (account for taking 4 days off for TOM / 2 days each 21 days) and then 3 days VLCD. So I'm a little confused.

Thighs -2.0" / Hips -1.25" / Waist -.5" / Chest -1.0" / Neck -Same" / Arm -.5 = -5.25

I've lost another 5.25"!! So that's a total of 11.5 inches since 10/26/10. Not bad!!!

If I don't hear anything back, then I will be doing my last injection tomorrow!

R1P2D39-41

Day 39- +.2 (P2 TOTAL -23.8) TOM

Day 41- -.2 (P2 TOTAL -24.8) TOM

This weekend was very busy for us being out of town! My daughters soccer team took 1st place in their bracket for the Semi-Finals and will play this Sunday for the State Title! We are SOOO proud of them. I'm hoping to finally get some pics of all of us up sometime this week.

So... hmmmm.. I hit my 2nd goal!!! I'm officially in 1'derland! WOOHOO! Go me! I have 8 days left in P2 and will shoot for my 3rd goal before moving onto P3!!!

R1P2D38

-1.4 Loss (Phase 2 - 24 pounds) TOTAL -30 Pounds!!

I'm -.1 away from my 2nd goal, to be in 1'derland!!! I feel so great today just knowing that I'm *almost* there!!!

This weekend I will be out of town for little Mama's soccer games. I'm packing as much as I can and think that I'll have the motivation just KNOWING I've lost THIRTY POUNDS!!! I won't be able to cook any foods so I'm taking my salad mixings and precooked chicken to eat cold.

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!!!

R1P2D37

-.2 LIW (Phase 2 Total -22.60) TOTAL LOSS 28.60

I was a little bummed this morning seeing a -.2 when I'm so close to hitting my 2nd goal. Also wasn't expecting TOM til Monday, but I started spotting yesterday. I've read where TOM is a little off while on HCG so that might account for a small loss today.

This weekend we are heading out of town and I'm a bit nervous with food choices. My daughters soccer team won their division and now they are going to fight for the STATE title!!! Not bad for a bunch of 11yr olds. The hotel has a fridge so I'm planning on bringing as much with me as possible!!!

Anyone that uses injections know the best way to transport the HCG? I was just going to fill a thermos with ice and hit the road. ?
