Day 45 on HCG

My losses are still above average for women so I am actually doing much better than I give myself credit for.  I measured today and found I have lost even more inches.  Almost 2 inches in my neck which I am really happy about and a whopping 7 inches appear to have come off my shoulders.  Did I mention the 4 or 5 inches that came off my butt??!!  Not ready to record my end results yet but, I will let you know where I end up inches wise.  According to my calculations if I stick this out till around day 75 when others have been known to become immune then I would have lost approx 50 lbs.  I took into consideration that the losses could slow up even more so I used .70 per day average to calculate with.

I have to reread Pounds and Inches to see how long my break has to be because I am in a race to get off as much as I can before Xmas.  I would love to have the best thing in the entire world which would be to feel like I am in a normal body.  I am just slowly realizing that I have been under this cloud for the last 10 years or more just not seeing myself and avoiding pictures and mirrors as much as humanly possible.  Why do we do that to ourselves?  I have really lost a lot of my life by ignoring this and thank God that I found out about HCG cuz it just might be the miracle I needed to get a life back.

I have had this goal shirt in my closet for 10+ years and every single time I have started a new work out program or a new diet and started to lose a few pounds I would pull out this pretty, green, silk shirt and I would try it on.  After hours a day busting my butt in the gym and eating healthier etc I was never able to button that shirt.  Today, I buttoned that shirt!!!!!!!!!  O.K. so its not like I would wear the shirt in public as of yet but, I will be wearing that shirt probably this month. 

VLCD # 32 Apple Day

So I turned my day into an apple day yesterday since I realized at 5 pm that I hadnt eaten yet and because I was holding on to a couple pounds that just would not go away.  I figured what could it hurt.  It was incredibly easy.  I was not hungry and I kept myself full of water and a little bit of coffee.  I could definitely do that again if I need to.

So this is day 32 and I have lost 28 lbs minus a tenth or two.  That's pretty darn good.  I don't think I have ever lost that much in one month.  Thank the lord for this stuff, it truly is a miracle.  This stuff works great on people who are resistant to weight loss and people who are hopeless.  I was hopeless.  I didn't think I could do this again.  I have already lost 100 lbs twice and gained all back.  I obviously have a problem.  I really think this stuff can help me get to my all time weight goal of 140.  That's seriously not even something I can remember.  The smallest weight I remember is 150, I was a size 9 and a Junior in High School.  People always said I was about 20 lbs overweight and that I would be so pretty if I just lost the weight.  My weight was always an issue with everyone.  Maybe it was because I was an ice skater and they just expected me to be skinny.  This is me being 20 lbs overweight.  I wish I was this fat again!

Looking On the Brighter Side

I am a bit frustrated today because I had a gain of 1.4 lbs this a.m. putting me at 261.8.  I was hoping to be in the middle of the 50's by now well at least at the rate I was losing up until this last week.  I can see how a stall or a slight gain like this can make a person worry.  The last time I had a gain there was a reason and I knew why.  I had eaten at least 3 fists full of Macadamia nuts, most likely it was more.  This time I cant figure it out.   I stewed about this all day and then just forgot to eat.  Now it's 6 pm and I think I will take advantage of this empty stomach and turn this into an apple day.  Looking on the brighter side of things....at least I didn't realize I would have to go the whole day without food til the end of the day.  Yay!  Now I'm hungry so I am gonna go eat an apple  I will Let you know how it turns out in the morning.  Cross your fingers for me!

Celebrating 30 days on HCG and Doing Another 30

So as you probably know, well if you read my earlier blogs and watched my videos that I am really happy and proud of myself with what I have accomplished over the last 30 days and I am ready to do it again.  I am so excited!  I took a little nap today and when I woke up I couldnt help myself so I weighed and I dropped a whole pound during the nap!!!  This stuff is AMAZING!!! 

Today my bottle of HCG was looking like it was about done.  I think I will get one more day out of it and then I need to start a new batch.  I will order more now because it takes at least 2 weeks to get here and that way I will be ready to go with fresh HCG once this last 5000i.u.'s is gone.  I am going right on through to do another 30 days at least.  When I get there I will probably keep going to do another 30 or as many as possible before becoming immune.  I am skipping Sundays and the first 2 days of TOM to prevent immunity as well.  I hope that the skipping will allow me to go about 75 days.  I have seen it work that long for some of the HCG people I have gotten to know the last couple months.  I have noticed that most people don't keep going after 43 or 50 days.  I pretty much think I am going to be one of those that just keeps going though.  I have a burning desire to be as close to 200 lbs as possible before taking a break.  I have to do more research to figure out what my next steps would be but, what I would like to do is break for 3 or 4 weeks and then jump right back into it.  I seriously want to be a regular looking normal person next summer.  

Taking a bow after 28 days on HCG and down 26 LBS

I had no intention of publishing this in fact I was just goofing to watch it myself but, you know what??  I dont care if you see me like this.  This is who I am and I am goofing around and at the end I realize as I am singing to myself that you are doing a really good job that I have done a really good job and so I start to cry.  I am really looking forward to the next 30 days!  Just check out the difference in my shoulders!  Woo hooooooooo!!!!
Check out my first video next to this to see why I am so happy!!!

Bad Luck Update

Just an update to my little episode this weekend with the car.   I have a beautiful Mustang Convertible 2005 which I absolutely love and have never felt I deserve because I am so fat but anyway I sure have had some issues with this car.   The air broke and it overheated this weekend on my way to Tucson.  Had to tow it to Ford on Ray but thank god I got a really good extended warranty to 100k and towing is included!  There was a leak in the air conditioner and the temp gauge was messed up and who knows but, the whole thing cost me $50 bucks.  Woo Hoo!!!  Oh and my husbands truck that seemed to be on its way out, well we got that taken care of as well.  The connectors were just corroded so he cleaned them and it has been running great since.  Everything is good and I feel great.  I am about to be a Nana which is weird but, I will be a Nana any day now.

Starting to feel really good on day 27

 Had a nut problem which threw me off track for a couple days.  1 handful does not mean that 3 is ok!  Took me a couple days to lose the pound I gained plus a little more.  I buy Kona coffee from Trader Joes as a treat and a substitute for Starbucks.  Kona is much better and with a little soy milk and flavored Stevia its HCG legal and tastes amazing. 

Bad Luck Weekend

So as I was on my way to Tucson yesterday evening, my A.C. goes out which I told you about but, I dont know if I told you that I also spilled a huge cup of coffee all over my nice seats and floorboards and then as I walked up to the rest area to use the bathroom my really nice shoes that I paid a hundred bucks for broke.  I have never paid that much for shoes but, they are really awesome Sofft shoes from Nordys in this beautiful ruby red color so I just couldnt resist.  I have a shoe fetish that has just recently developed over the last couple years.  The beginning of that fetish was the the introduction to both Nordstrom and DSW.  I cant really wear most of the clothes and shoes that I love.  Cant wait to see what happens with that when I lose weight.  I have been envisioning this lately .........me shopping at Ann Taylor for me myself instead of helping my much smaller friends picking out their outfits.  That really sucks when you love clothes as much as I do.  Kinda like torture to see them turn up their noses at some of the most classic beautiful stuff and I cant get my fat ass in it if I wanted to. Sooooo back to my bad luck...

 I go to get into my husbands truck this a.m. I was going to Sunflower Market to buy some flavored Stevia.  I want to try the English Toffee.  Well, guess what????  The truck wouldnt start.  Ya thats right both of our cars at the same time on the fritz.  So we take the battery to Auto Zone and battery is dead so they recharge it for us.  Brought the battery home and truck started right up.   I had to go inside the house to do a few things.  A couple hours later I am in the truck again and its completely dead.  Again!  Talk about having a lot of really bad luck this weekend.  What the hell happened???

Lost 1.6 more pounds of FAT!

I was on the way to my friends party just now.  Its about 2 hours away and 1 hour into my trip my air conditioner blew and I live in Tempe AZ.   Need I say more about why I need air conditioning?  Noticed my car was overheating so I thought ok thats it I am done.  I pulled into the first rest stop, called the hubby to come to my resuce and the tow truck.  Just got home and now I am gonna go get filet mignon for us.  Sure dont feel like I am on any kind of a diet when I get to eat filet mignon.    Check out todays video just before my trip that to Tucson that only got me to Casa Grande.

OMG Courtney Love Weight Loss Picture

I finally see a difference in my fat face on this video.

I just looked at my first video and compared it to this one.  OMG thank you for HCG!  I gotta chill out on eating Macadamia nuts.  I bought Kona coffee from Trader Joes and I got a beautiful $99.00 Kitchen aid blender on sale for 49 bucks at Target cuz they are on clearance so hurry.  I put ice and Kona coffee in the blender with 4 tablespoons of soy milk and some sugar free torani syrup and then blended.  Now that stuff was virtually no calories, no sugar, and tasted amazing!!

22 days of 500 calories on HCG so far!

Wow day 22!  I never expected to get that far.  I really didn't, and without cheating too.  I am amazed that HCG turns out to be all that it claims to be and much more.  Well they do call it a miracle and they aren't joking.  This really is something special.  I feel like my HCG is better than Gold and I find myself thinking of ways that I can stretch this out to get in the most weight loss possible before the immunity kicks in.  I know that HCG reshapes and moves your fat around so you lose inches even when you arent dropping pounds and the thought of that and seeing the high ketone levels on my keto sticks helps to keep me on track even though the scale stayed the same today.  I dont really feel like doing videos on days like these.  I am hanging in there though!  I can do this!!  :-)

another fat pic

I am not happy and I feel disgusting but, something drastic is about to happen right here so I am gonna let you see me at this low point.  We were in Maryland visiting my husbands family.  This is the neighborhood where he grew up.  Its very green there but it was not fun meeting everyone for the first time weighing in at around 300 pounds.  It would be another year or two before I would find HCG and sutdy it to death.

Fat Pic

I really hate this picture.  We were at the Statue of Liberty.  I was embarrassed about taking the picture and you cant get out of every single picture even if you are insecure about your weight so I reluctantly got in there but I am glad that I did because it gives me a nice memory and I can also see how far I have come. 

Fat Pic

This is me and the hubby in Central Park NY.  It was pouring on our last day in the city.  I was pretty miserable and felt fat and gross and wanted the memory but, I really couldn't stand getting my picture taken which is why I am standing the way I am here.  Lol I think I was trying to hide or not look so big somehow.  Ok that is sad.

Down 22 pounds on day 21 of HCG Protocol

I am feeling very energetic and much more alert without having to have coffee for the first time in many years but, this is not a new feeling on HCG.  I have actually felt this way since the beginning.  I never thought I would reach 22 days of 500 calories a day. Now I feel like I am getting more than enough food.  I am satisfied and not hungry.  Every now and then I get a twinge to eat something bad but, I just go eat some green beans with lemon and parmesan cheese or make a hamburger and I am good.  I also chew a lot of sugarless gum.  That really helps if you get a craving for sugar.  I know some people say not to have Aspartame because it can stall weight loss or cause your Hypothalamus not to reset but, since I am not in Phase 3 as of yet when your body resets itself, I am not gonna worry about it.  Let me know if you have any questions just comment.

HCG in the Beginning Load Days

yay my HCG is here!  I got to go to my favorite restaurant and eat foods I usually watch my husband eat while I drool.  Too good to be true it seems.  I felt really weird about this diet but, after all the success I had seen online I had to try this.

What are the different phases of the HCG Protocol?

So what are the different phases all about? Dr. ATW Simeons wrote the book Pounds and Inches back in the 50's and if you comment I would be happy to send you a copy of it. In his book he describes the different phases. More recently this Protocol was updated by Kevin Trudeau who is not a Dr. but, a man that wanted to make money. He took the Simeons Protocol and added his own phases and I think and he tweaked the food you could eat a bit. I myself read Simeons book and I try to follow that original version closely. Simeons Phases consist of the following

Phase 1

10 day cleanse (optional) I did not do this and I only know of 1 person that has. No different results.


Phase 2

minimum of 23 days of a very low calorie diet some people do 43 days like me



Phase 3

Eat anything you want EXCEPT sugar and starches. The rule is that you must weigh
yourself every morning. This phase takes a minimum of 3 weeks for your weight to
stabilize. As long as your weight stays within two pounds of the weight reached on the day of the last injection don't worry about what you are eating but the moment
the scales goes up two pounds you must skip breakfast and lunch, drink plenty of
water and eat a huge steak with only 1 apple or a raw tomato. After week 3 your your
hypothalamus is reset and now you can gradually add back sugar and starches.

Waiting for my HCG to arrive

When I decided to take the plunge and go for this I was pretty excited and I started to read everything I could find that was HCG related. I learned a lot about this secret little hormone the FDA doesnt want us to know about. This hormone is legal in other countries but, they wont legalize here for weight loss. They will use this hormone for other medical treatments just not weight loss. They dont want us to know because they would lose billions of dollars since the diet industry is worth billions but, you can read all about that on the internet. Just search HCG and the FDA as well as eating raw. This was new to me that all the hormones and preservatives and junk that they put in our food is responsible for changing our chemistry and making us the fattest humans on earth. I never really thought about that but it makes a lot of sense and I am enlightened now. I will do my best to shop only organic from now on. It is becoming much more affordable and everyone including WalMart is offering organic now.

Waiting for my HCG to arrive was not easy since I decided to do it I wanted instant gratification and just couldnt wait. I knew that as soon as it arrived that would be my first injection day and I could start my 1st day of 2 loading days. Those are the 2 days in the beginning of the protocol where you get to eat anything and lots of what you want but, preferably high caloric fatty foods are best. You load up on these types of foods so that the first couple days into the VLCD (very low calorie diet-500 calories) you dont get hungry and your body can use that excess to feed itself until the HCG kicks in. Some people claim that they can feel it working the first day of loading making it difficult for them to stuff their faces. Well I kinda took my load days to a new level cuz I gained 8 lbs just thinking about loading. Dont make my mistake cuz it just pisses me off now. I would weigh almost 10 lbs less right now had I not been a piggie!

Deciding to give HCG a try

I learned about HCG through a friend. She called and said hey I am doing this HCG thing where I inject myself with this hormone called HCG and then I eat a very restricted diet of only 500 calories a day. She was pretty pumped up about it but, I just thought ya oky doke you just let me know how that goes. I thought give me a break! Anyone that eats 500 calories a day is going to drop drastic weight duh! So I thought nothing of this hormone. That is until she sent me some pictures just a couple months later. She went from a size 20 down to a size 10 in seriously just a couple months. I think she started 6-1-09 and by mid August she was size 10 and I mean August of 09. Ya, so when I saw those pictures I said o.k. now what was it you were telling me about HCG??? This time I listened and was interested in what she had to say. She told me the basics and told me to research the rest if I had any questions because that was the best way to learn. Just start researching on the internet. I did that for a couple weeks and was amazed to find so many positive results. There were so few people that failed on this diet and those that did fail were still successful overall. They still had big losses but, lets say fell off the wagon sooner than the expected 23 or 43 day protocol. It took me a couple days of reading and hearing about others positive results for instance no hunger, more energy, euphoric feeling, drastic weight loss without hanging skin etc to convince me that it was worth it to give it a try. I ordered my product online and then waited. While waiting I read over Dr. Simeons Protocol (pounds and inches) to familiarize myself with what foods were and werent allowed.
