Day 18 of VLCD

Down .4lbs this morning so that was cool. Started my "Couch to 5K" program last night and wearing my hot new size 8 jeans and my extra-small (although it's the cut) shirt! Today is indeed a good day! LOL! With just about a week to go, I'm feeling really good. I can tell that I just feel better in general which is good. I absolutely LOVE my vitamins, because they're helping me not feel deprived from lack of coffee and give me the extra boost I need to continue on with my afternoons! Anywhoooo, hope all is well in everyone else's HCG land!

Day 17 of VLCD

I didn't go down this morning....stayed the same, BUT...I had a fabulous night last night! I actually went shopping for the first time in a loooooong time and enjoyed my clothes buying experience. Now before my HCG experience I had been purchasing L tops....and sometimes XL for a little more room. Last night I bought a small shirt AND an extra-small shirt! What the world! AND a pair of size 8 jeans....ladies....I cannot tell you the last time I bought a size 8 anything let alone an extra-small anything. Now granted....I think I was able to get the extra-small due to the cut of the shirt, but still! lol! So again....even though I didn't loose anything this morning....I was still happy!

Day 16 of VLCD

I was down slightly this AM so that's a good thing. Wondering where I'll be in a couple of days. Hoping that I'm "retaining" water. :-) Wouldn't that make for a nice drop at the end of the week. Drinking my tea right now which is actually quite tasty. Raspberry Lemon Riot Mate' & Weightloss Pur-eh tea mixed together. Got it from Teavanna.

Way to go Patra!!! I'm so psyched for you!!

G - You're going in the right direction so it doesn't matter how much! :-) Although it's always nicer to see full numbers, so I totally understand. You're almost at the finish line so keep up the good work!

And here's to a strong finish for the rest of us with a little over a week to go now!

4.2lbs from goal 1!!

Day 15 of VLCD

Hope everyone had a great weekend....mine was primarily without power....great! lol! At any rate, I pretty much stayed the same over the weekend. However, I don't think I'm plateauing as much as it is that my monthly "visitor" arrived on Sunday. It will be interesting to see where I'm at in a couple of days as I think my "friend" is impacting the numbers I see on the scale.

Day 12 of VLCD

Down a pound....wahoo!!! So now I'm just four pounds away from goal 1! If I can obtain that, then I'm happy....even happier if I manage to get to goal 2! LOL!

Everyone have a good weekend!

Day 11 of VLCD

GM! Steak day worked....although not as good as I had hoped, but I'm down so I guess that's what counts. I'm at least 5lbs away from goal one and 10lbs from goal two so I've got a ways to go. Here's hoping that I can increase my will power!

Day 10 of VLCD

Sigh....well the nibbles of pound cake and peach cobbler have come to revisit me! Man...I am not doing so swift this time around. LOL! At any rate, I am up a pound unfortunately and it's due to my little cheats a few days ago in tandem with the continual lotioning of my children. :-) I shall attempt a steak day today....lets see how it goes!

Day 9 of VLCD

Okay....so bitter....I had written up a nice little blog and then something happened and it went away. Sigh....anywhooo, I'm down 1.4 today so I'm happy. Thought I was about to plateau...didn't...but had the steak ready. I marinated my steak overnight in chicken broth, braggs amino, and zip sauce (no butter). Smells yummy and will most likely be dinner tonight!

Day 8 of VLCD

Happy Monday all!

So I went down for Day 4 (Friday) and hit quite the hiccup for Day 5 with almost a one pound gain. I did a little cheat, but I think that in conjunction with mistakenly using lotion, body wash with oil, and hair stuff with oil all pretty much sealed my fate. I did a steak day that day, and dropped two pounds by the next morning. My loss between Sunday and today was only .4lbs, but hey.....I'll take it!

Day 3 of VLCD

Today is day 3 and I'm not doing to hateful. Most certainly better than last time around! lol! I was quite pleased this morning to get on the scale and see that I am back where I was before I started my "eat what you want before it's gone" diet of last week. So that brings me down 5lbs from the height of where I got to with my fat load. I'm pretty excited that I'm not experiencing a lot of hunger this time around. Again...that fat load was critical....didn't like the extra weight, but man it's nice not wanting to eat everything in sight! I am EXTREMELY tired first thing in the morning though. Hard to get out of bed. However, once I'm up...drink my tea...take my energy pills...I'm good to go!

So how is everyone else doing? Are we all going down? G - What's your status since you're ahead of us?

Day 1 of VLCD

Well today is officially day one of the very low calorie diet for some of us....others are a few days ahead....and then there are the ones who are "waiting" for things to occur. ;-) At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed my fat load days...gained about 5 lbs total since I began loading on say oh...Wednesday and drops on Sunday. :-D But am happy to say that I was down 2lbs this morning. So I'm hopeful that my "extra" will fall off by weeks end and then some. Not hungry this morning which is great. Had a few strawberries and a little toast...btw...I noted that the toast is higher in calories than the melba toast, so take note of that when swapping it for that. Drinking my water...which won't be hard today since we are visiting hades in our building today...sheesh! Where's the air! Anywhooooo.....happy day 1 everyone!!!
