Last Shot

Okay, well I decided today was my last shot....it was either that, or cheat and gain and then spend the last several days getting over the cheat, only to wind up ending exactly where I am now anyways. So I will follow the diet tomorrow and Saturday and begin P3 on Sunday. I will do P3 for 3 weeks, and then see where I am at, if I think I can do another 3 week round then I will, and will be ending it just in time for our big trip to Disney Land.

SO..... my LIW for this round is 133.2!!! Goal: Stay under 135.2!!!!!! I CAN do this!!!!

This is a current pic of me (taken at the cabin in Granby).

Yesssssss....

I am down a whole pound this morning, putting me at 133.2 and making my total loss for 17 days 21.8 pounds.
I got a message and an email last night from dd asking me to update my blog... lol.... not sure what thats all about, because I blog everyday, so I assuming they send these out to everyone regardless of whether or not they blog each day?
I am getting closer and closer to the end of this round, and the butterflies are fluttering in my tummy hoping that I will be able to maintain it!!!
Well I here my little Logan waking up...gotta run! Have a great day!

Happy

I am so happy and content today....I am very happy with my decision, and even happier that I have done this the right way this time ALL THE way through the round, and that makes it even better that this is my last round...done right!
That being said, I am down .6 this morning putting me at 134.2 and making my total loss for 16 days 20.8 pounds!!
My goal: Get to 130 by the end of this round.... AND ..... STAY there!!!!!

My Plans....

Okay, I think this is going to be a loooong post, so here goes....
First I want to say that I think I look amazing, and even better than that, I FEEL amazing!!! The one and only reason that I have been continuing on the hcg is to fit into my sis's old clothes. Well I got them out today and realized something.... They are so tiny, they will NEVER fit me unless I am 100 pounds and stick thin. I don't want to be a stick...I'd like to have some curves. My skirts that I had put away finally fit though, and I'm ectatic about that!! So my plan right now is to finish out this round and be done.....for good. I'm so glad I've not cheated even a little, and I can finish this out without having cheated the whole time....and truely reset my hypothalymus! So, my last shot will be on Aug 5th, and I will stay on the VLCD the 6th and 7th, then begin phase 3 on the 8th. I am absolutely happy where I am, and everyone is telling me how amazing I look. So, my goal is to stick this out til the 8th, and then be SERIOUS on phase three to maintain my new weight, and definitly not put any back on before we leave for vacation!
The good thing is that I will be well into phase 4 by the time we leave for vacation, and won't have to worry about staying away from all starches and sugars....I can just eat in moderation, and make healthy choices. Plus we will be walking so much, I really don't see it being an issue. I'm hoping to settle in right around 130 pounds. That will put me in a size 6-8 depending on the specific piece of clothing.
So, there ya have it.....
I'd like to know what my readers think about this decision.... please comment and let me know what cha think!

Stiiiilllll Going!!

I am down .6 this morning, putting me at 134.8 and making my total loss for 15 days 20.2 pounds!!! I am getting very excited to enter that new decade!!! In my mind I have just determined that I will get there without cheating!! I'm so proud of myself so far, and I feel GREAT!!! Those clothes are getting closer and closer to being able to hang in my closet to be WORN!!! I am amazed that I am almost in a size 6!!! SIZE 6!!!! WOW! I never would have thought a year ago that I'd be where I am now. I am so greatful!!!!

Yippie!!!

I am down a whole pound this morning, putting me at 135.4 and making my total loss for 14 days 19.6 pounds!!! Hopefully this is the start of the weight loss picking back up!!! I am so amazed that I've not cheated AT ALL!!!!! I feel so good, and am so motivated to get to my goal!!!
Well gotta go drink some tea....hope ya'll have a great day!!!

Funny Story.....

Alright.....here is my story as promised......
Okay, so you all know about our trip to the cabin this weekend. Well I spent some extra time on thursday preparing my food and putting it all in a thermo bag and then kept it in the fridge...I also had two shots ready and in the fridge to where when we were ready to walk out the door to leave I could just grab them.
So Friday comes along, and its a long day of preparing and packing, and whatnot...then everyone gets to my house and I pack our luggage up in our van and hop on the back of my dad's motorcycle.
We have an awesome ride....about 2 hours into it I realize something......
I FORGOT MY FOOD AND MY SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH
It upset me so much that I cried (stupid, I know, but I was also PMSing: TOM arrived about 30 min ago)
Anyways, to make a long story short, we stopped at the next grocery store so that I could get the food I needed......
AND..... my mom had brought up two shots because she was planning to begin injections and load this weekend.....but as sweet as she is, she let me have them, and she's gonna load another time. So it all worked out, and it definitly kept me even more accountable!!!!
So there ya have, my knucklehead move!! LOL
I am gonna sign off for now. I will, of course, report my weight in the morning!! Also, I will not inject through TOM this time.
Have a great night everyone!!

My Ticker

Surprise!!!

Well we decided to come home a little early.....so here I am!!!
I was amazingly strong while we were up at the cabin....I did not cheat- not even a morsel!!! I watched everyone eat my fav of all time: smores.....and I didn't even think about doing it!
I am a bit discouraged though....my weight this morning is 136.4 (only .4 down from Friday). I hate that it is coming off so stinking slow now even though I've not cheated even once! Of course, I will hang in there and stick to it, but I hope it does pick up eventually!!!
So, that is all for now....I will write about a funny story later. Toodles

Drum Roll Please.....

.......I am down a whole pound this morning!!! Yippie!! So that puts me at 136.8 and makes my total loss for 11 days 18.2 pounds!!! We are leaving to go out of town today, so I will not be able to check back in til Monday morning. I am gonna stick to my guns this weekend and not cheat!!! I am doing so good...I'm not gonna mess it up!!!
Hope ya'll have a great weekend!!!!

Same

Well I'm pretty bummed today, as my weight is exactly the same and I've not cheated even in the slightest!!....
But I'm still gonna stick to it.....and get through this!!! I am looking so good and feeling so good about myself!! I can't wait to get down to my goal!!
Well I've gotta go drink my tea, so thats it for now! Toddles!

Little Bit

This morning's loss was .6, putting me at 137.8 and making my total loss for 9 days 17.2 pounds!!! Just as I expected, now that I am below LIW, the weight is coming off much slower. But thats okay...it's still coming off, and I am also pretty close to my goal. This weekend we are going up to my Aunt's cabin in Granby....should be a good time. I plan to bring all of my food and to stay on protocol 100%....I will report back on Monday morning and let ya'll know how it goes!!
Well that's it for now...hope ya'll have a great day!

One Pound Exactly

This morning I am down exactly one pound putting me at 138.4 and making my total loss for 8 days 16.6 pounds. I am having an awesome time right now. Not having any major cravings so far, so that is good. Definitly don't have any hunger. The only problem I am having is that it is hard to fall asleep, and when I wake up in the middle of the night (which is not normal for me), I have a hard time falling back asleep. So I definitly know the HCG is active and doing it's job.
I went on a "date" with my daddy last night. Got to ride on the motorcycle for a long time....it was a BLAST!!!!!!! I am such a daddy's girl its not even funny!! He is the light of my life (ok, 2nd to my kids and hubby that is). It was just he and I all night, and it was a little bitter sweet. I knew he was missing my sister, and I was too....finally at the end of the night, he said "I wish April were here to do this with us too." I wanted to cry. I miss her SO much. Has to be hard for my dad...I can't imagine losing one of my children....I definitly would not have handled it as well as my parents have...they are some of the strongest people I know!
Okay, well now that I am in tears, I will draw this to an end and get back to my kiddos.

Slooooowwwwwing Down....

Well today's loss was .4, but it's a loss and I am very close to goal, so I'll take it!! That puts me at 139.4 and makes my total loss for 7 days 15.6 pounds.
I want to respond to Gabby's comment on yesterday's post.....
First, thank you for your comment....
As to this week's amazing losses, I honestly attribute it to the fact that it was all weight that I gained after LIW of last round and loading from this round. I think the reason it came off that quick was because it was weight that I had already lost very very recently. Now that I am just below LIW, I think it will come off a lot slower, because now its new weight that I'm losing. I am very close to my goal, so I hope it does doesn't come off too slow.....but I am more deteremined than ever to make it to my goal, and be in my size 6's by September!!!!
They key for me, Gabby, is not to cheat....very simple, yes, but if I don't even take a tiny bite of something I'm not supposed to have then I'm good.....if I do, then it's all down hill from there!!!
Gotta run...day care kids are here!!

130's

Well I thought that it would take a little longer, but I am pleased to say that I am back into the 130's. I am down 2 whole pounds today, putting me at 139.8 and making my total loss for 6 days 15.2 pounds!!! I can't wait to enter new territory and see new low numbers that I've not seen for many many years!!!! I am hoping to be at 135 by Friday! We are going to be going to Granby for the weekend...my aunt has a cabin up there....it will be fun!!! I will be riding on the back of my dad's motorcycle, and I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Last summer I was 245 pounds, and way too big to ride for 3 hours.....so once again, something new I can look forward to since losing all this weight. I am so happy!!
Well I am feeling very weak...I am going to go eat me an apple, and drink some water and tea, then head off to church....hope ya'll have a great day!!

Just a Little Loss Today....

But its still a loss!!! I am down .6 today, putting me at 141.8 and making my total loss for 5 days 13.2 pounds!!! That is just amazing to me! Well that is all for now...I am getting a headache... we had a party at our house with family last night so I was up late!!! I am going to go drink some water and tea and lay down!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Yummmmm......

Today for lunch I made the most delicous chicken wrap (lettuce instead of tortilla)..... It was sooooo good. Really was the same thing as my usual chicken on a bed of lettuce, but there was just something about it being a wrap that made it taste better to me...maybe just a little bit of change!! lol.... well, just thought I'd share..... bye for now!

WOWserS!!!!!!!

I am down another 3.2 pounds this morning!!! That puts me at 142.4 and makes my total loss for 4 days 12.6 pounds!!!! I am SO psyched!!!! The 130's is just around the corner!!! I am extremely happy with how fast it has come off so far.....definitly gives me the motivation I need!!!! The only concern I have right now is that it has been 3 1/2 weeks with no TOM yet. (I'm never THAT late)... I am worried about whether or not I've messed up my cycle. But this will be my last round for a while, and I guess I'll see after I'm done what happens. I hope everything is okay.
Well I suppose that is all for now. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Chuggin Thru the First Week....

I am down another 1.8 this morning, putting me at 145.6, and making my total loss for 3 days 9.4 pounds!!! I'll take it!! I am feeling a little weak this morning...think I just need to get some more water and tea in me.....so that is what I am gonna do....toodles for now!!

Yippie...again!!

I am down another 2.8 this morning, putting me at 147.4, and making my total loss for 2 days 7.4 pounds!!!! I am so excited...I will be back down to 140 in no time!! I am feeling great so far! Last night I dreamt that I was eating a bunch of stuff I wasn't supposed to....lol....when I woke up I was glad to know it was just a dream!! That's so crazy that I'm dreaming about it too! Does anyone else have weird dreams on the protocol??
Well my tea is upstairs awaiting me. Have a great day!!

Yippie

Well so far so good. After my first VLCD day, I am down 4.6 pounds, putting me at 150.2!! This may be an ambitous goal, but I hope to be at 140 by the end of my fist week. We shall see! I am feeling great so far, so I hope it continues like this.
That is all for now.....toodles!

1st VLCD...

Well today is the day I begin the VLCD!! After 3 days of eating non stop I am definitly ready!! My weight has shot wayyyy up there after gorging for the last three days.....I don't even wanna say what it is.....but I will....154.8. So I am just hoping that this first week it falls really really quick!! So far this morning I have had 3 big cups of water, and two cups of tea. I am not feeling hungry.
We did go camping and we had a blast!!! The kids had SOO much fun...it was great!....I got soooo burnt....just on my face...I am BRIGHT red!! Once again I totally forgot about sunscreen! ouch! Miraculously though, the kids didn't get burnt at all...nor did my hubby, so thats good!
Well, this will be my last round before we go to Disney Land, so I am going to make it count! I want to be in a size 6 when we go...badly!!!
Well I gotta pee..........AGAIN!!! here I go back in the bathroom every 30 minutes again! lol

The Sickies

Well now my son is sick so I don't know if we will be going camping tomorrow or not. What a bummer. I'm still going to begin injections tomorrow morning though, just as planned. Aunt Flo still hasn't arrived yet, but test is negative, so I'm just gonna go for it. I'm wondering if the hcg has messed up my cycle?! Oh well....I am so ready to start again, and lose this weight!!! I can't wait for the day I can slip into my size 6's!!!
I suppose that is all for now.... Hope ya'll have a great day!

Can't Wait

Two more days and I will be starting again!! I am excited!!! My weight this morning is 144.8. No steak day today...lol.....maybe tomorrow but I doubt it.
Well I guess that is it for now. Hope ya'll have a great day!!!

Almost

Well the day is approaching quickly. 3 more days and I'll be starting injections again. My weight this morning is 145.4. Not sure what the deal is. I may try a steak day tomorrow. I am excited, because my sister in law is going to try the protocol. It took me a while to muster up enough guts to tell her about it, cause I thought for sure she'd just think I was totally nuts. She said she did think I was nuts, lol....but was worth a try. I would love to see her happy. She has been calling me several times a day with questions....she is so scared!! But she knows I'm here for her any time she needs support, and I can't wait to see her start melting away!!
Well that is all for now...have a great day!

Hmmm

It seems that every time I do a steak day the weight that I lose from the steak day comes right back on the next day after eating normally again. Today's weight is 145.0. I am definitly itching to start again!!! My dear auntie Flo is now two weeks late, so I am freakin out just a little. I'll have to take a test before I start the injections, just to be sure.
Well I guess that is all for now.....hope ya'll are doing well!!

Doing Well

I finally made it through a steak day yesterday and this morning's weight is 142.8. Only 5 more days and I will be starting injections again!! I am SOOOOO excited for this weekend. We are going camping, and I'll be loading! Will be so nice not to have to worry about what I'm eating!! And I am SOO ready to get back on the downhill slide to losing the rest of my weight. I did so much better this time on round three than I did last time, so for that I am encouraged. I just keep telling myself that I CAN do this....I CAN get to my goal....I WILL fit in a size 6 again, and I WILL be wearing my old clothes again!.....and most inportantly, I WILL stay there once I get there!!!
That is all for now....I will work diligently at maintaining this week til I start up again this Saturday!! Hope ya'll are doing well!

Finally

Well I finally made it through a steak day yesterday!! lol. This morning's weight is 143.2. I'm thinking I will do another steak day on Sunday. We have too much going on today and tomorrow. I have a very good friend coming into town to join me and my family tonight. We are going to go somewhere and watch fireworks. My hubby's friend is joining us as well!! Should be a very fun night....I think the kids are gonna have a blast too!
What you are all doing this weekend for the 4th???

Same

Well I didn't go through with yesterday's steak day. I made it to 11:30 and then I couldn't take it anymore. The good news is that my weight is the same this morning: 144.4. Thats a lot of 4's. lol. So I am going to attempt another steak day today...we'll see how it goes. Bye for now!

Another Steak Day

My weight this morning is 144.4, so I am doing a steak day. Hopefully this will put me back down within 2 pounds of LIW. I shall let you all know the results tomorrow.
Have a great day!
