Update

Well, I have been around 154 the last few days. Haven't been "watching what I am eating" but at the same time, I am not over indulging. Maybe I have found a balance. Granted, not where I want to be, but at least not gaining anymore...then again it has only been a few days. Who knows. Yesterday I went to Kohls and got a few things that fit me. It was bitter sweet. Bitter because I am now size 10-12, when I was a 6,....but sweet because now I have something to wear. So I will be comfortable where I am at for now. I still have to stop and congradulate myself for the almost 100 pounds that I have kept off. And, remember that my journey is not over...this is a temporary set back....I will acheive my goal, and my REAL goal is to stay there once I do get there.

Had fun....

Well I went to my cousin's party last night. We ate at a wings place and then went bowling. I ate but didnt go overboard and my weight is the same today. I am psyched!!!!

Amazed

My weight this morning is 150.8!!!! YESSSS....it keeps going down, and I am not going crazy starving myself!!! I am going to my cousin's birthday party tonight...it is at Buffalo Wild Wings. I plan to eat a few wings, but pass on the bday cake if there is any. Then we will go bowling!! I'm excited, and also excited that I am not on the diet, so I don't have to feel deprived...can enjoy a little bit and not go over board. I will report tomorrow how it went.
Thank you to those of you who are still reading my blog and routing for me!

Down even more

Okay, I am totally shocked. My weight this morning is 151.8. The fact that I am losing weight like this tells me it was the right thing to stop the shots. My body HAD to have been immune. And I was only making my weight spike becasue I could not stick to a 500 calorie diet without the HCG working like it should. So for a good long while, I plan to keep eating healthy and working out.

Down

Well, I'll be darned...my weight this morning is 153.

Well my weight went down just a tad...this morning I weighed in at 155.6. I am proud of myself for being good yesterday. From now on I plan to follow a phase 3 type of diet, and workout. We will see what happens.

Concerned....

Okay, I truely hope I do not discourage my readers...but here is where I am at.....

I truly feel that my body is immune to the hcg. I am even in the right mind set, and I can't do it. I have been on the shots since October. Its just not working for me right now. And I am not going to beat myself up about it. I am just going to stop taking the shots, and eat healthy. Guess we will see what happens. I am now working out at least 3 times a week, so that is also good. And in the large picture, I still should be very proud of myself, because when I began my weight loss journey, I weighed 247 pounds (and may I remind you that I am 5 feet even). My weight this morning is 156. So that is 90 pounds no longer on my body.

I am not dropping out just yet....I just need to truly stop with the shots for a while, so that I can fix the immunity issue.

So there ya'll have it....I need to get my body normalized again. HCG has been an everyday thing (with a couple days break here and there) since October. Now, I know that THAT was not how it was intended to be. I am only fooling myself by trying to do this when the HCG is not working like it should be, had I taken breaks and such like I was supposed to.
Soooo.... I will no longer take anymore shots, for at least two months....I need to let my body normalize, and correct the immunity issue.
I will not, however, neglect my blogging, and all of you. I still plan to check in almost every day and keep you up to date with how I am doing. I am not dropping out of this challenge!!!!

1 good day

Sooo...I am reporting a good day yesterday. Didn't cheat at all, and stuck to the basics!! No gum...no nothing that I was not supposed to have. I made some strawberry lemon popsicles to munch on when I get cravings or think I need gum. So I guess that is all. Not doing anything special for Valentine's Day....didn't even get a card or call or nothing. Oh well.

OKAY!!

Okay....
So I feel like a broken record.....
Today is day one of a fresh new start...I have been going to the gym with a friend, but haven't been following the diet. Last night I had an epiphany (sp??). I am SO fed up with being over weight and unhealthy. This morning I weighed in at 160.0. It is EXTREMELY hard for me to report that, but I think it is necessary to share the bad as well as the good. I have to be honest, as that is what this blog is all about. So there ya have it. As of today, I am putting the scale away for one week. I am finally at the end of my rope, and desperate enough to do this. Oh, and up til now I have been chewing gum like a mad woman. THAT is stopping. I got rid of all my gum. I thought it was helping me fight off cravings, but I think it was actually making me want more. So, no more gum for me. Instead I have made some strawberry lemon popsicles and when I get a craving, I will get one of those. So there you have....the cold, ugly truth!! Sorry it took so long for me to report...just too ashamed.
I will be reporting every day again, but not with my weight, as I have put the scale away for a week. Instead, I will report a successful day and any struggles I may have had. Next Thursday I will weigh in and report my weight to you all.
Sorry for the dissappointment for those of you that follow my blog....but thats all part of it. This is not by any means easy....it is the hardest thing (diet/weight wise) that I have ever done. The only reason I keep at it is because I KNOW that when done right, IT WORKS!!!!
Okay, well I need to get back to my kids. I will check in tomorrow.

OH!!

Forgot to mention....I started going to the gym last week with a friend. We have committed to going every Monday, Tuesday and Friday evening. I'm excited, and I'm glad that I am doing it will someone...now I will have to stay with it!!

Hmmm

Well my weight this morning is 153.6. Needless to say, I enjoyed my birthday. Why I think I have to eat to enjoy myself, I do not know.

Still Doing Well

My weight this morning is 150.2. I am sticking to it, and doing well. I feel extremely nauceous this morning, and it is not subsiding at all. Just took two potassium pills, so I'm hoping that helps a little. I went to the gym last night and did an hour of cardio, so maybe that is the reason I am feeling extra weak and nauceous today.

Doing well.....

My weight this morning is 152.4. I have been sticking to the basics, as I said in my last post. It seems to be working....I have much fewer cravings, and am much more satisfied with my meals. The weight still isn't coming off as fast as I would like, however it is coming off, so it's all good.
