Week 10

Today is 10 weeks since I began this journey. Went for my weigh in today and after only losing 1.4lbs last week, I did much better this week with a loss of over 4lbs. This brings me to an official weightloss total of 30lbs!!!
I was so excited to see that number! The told me I am have an average loss of 3lbs a week. They look for a loss of 1-3lbs a week. They told me I am above average in my loss especially for women. I am so excited to hear this. Makes me realize that I should be able to reach my goal. I have about 8 weeks left. I hope I can keep up at this pace and maybe exceed my goal. 20lbs to go!
I decided to see if I could fit into the next size down that I had in my closet. I did and got them buttoned! They were a little tight but they were on. That is 3 sizes from where I began just 10 weeks ago. I am doing it and feeling really good! Now if only the camera can start being a little kinder to me.

Week 8

I have had 2 full weeks of the HCG now. Its amazing that I am satisfied only eating 600 calories. Many times I am even less then that for the day. 200 calories max is tough per meal. It really limits what I can have but I am working it out. I went out of town to visit my brothers family and meet my new nephew. I managed to stick to my plan there even when the delicious cake was made with strawberries and whipped topping. I resisted and just had some strawberries with a little whipped cream. I managed to lose 4.4 lbs this week for a total loss now of 24.5lbs! I am half way to my goal and I still have about 10 weeks left. 8 weeks left of the shots. I am really hoping to make it to my 50 lbs loss. I am still feeling good and have good energy. I get my 3 hours cheat meal this week for my baby girls first birthday party. I am looking forward to all the snacky foods which are my favorite! I am really starting to feel good about myself and getting my confidence back. Still have a long way to go but I am so proud for what I have accomplished thus far.

20lbs!!!

I just completed week six and my first week on HCG. I have now lost 20lbs! Almost half way to my goal weight! I questioned yesterday if they thought I would reach my goal by the end of this and he is confident that I can. I sure hope so! The diet is going well. I never thought I could be satisfied eating a max of 200 calories per meal and 600 per day. But I am. Most days I am not even hitting 600. I am averaging about 580 calories. I know there will be rough days but I am glad that so far its been ok.
I have hit a snag with the HCG shots. I was doing well with giving them to myself and now my mind is getting the best of me and I am having a hard time. They do not hurt one bit so it is just foolishness. Thank you to my friend Tina for giving me my shot yesterday. I thought maybe If I had someone else do it to reaffirm how and that it doesn't hurt that I would be ok. Well today I still had a tough time. I did finally stick myself and as with every other time, I hardly felt it. I hope this mental block goes away soon. I will be a long 10 weeks if I can't get over it!
I am feeling great and energy level has not changed at all despite not eating many calories.
I get a cheat meal tonight and will be enjoying some delish sushi and I can't wait!!
