vlcd16

Well I'm still only down 10lbs, but that's because I've been bad about sticking to protocol friendly foods. (Like pizza)
But, I'm not planning on letting that week slow me down. I only gained 2lbs and then stalled and lost those 2lbs.
So here I am, checking in, I've been checking out tons of thinspiration, trying to keep my eyes on the goal, and I know that I really need to focus and make sure I don't screw up, I'm already 20lbs down, only another 130 to go lol.
Through some of the thinspiration, I've seen before and afters of girls who have done it in less than a year, so I know it's possible if I keep my head in the game.

4 more days of P2 and I can't decide whether to keep going or do P3 and back to P2 again before July.
I'm hoping to get to size 18 by july, it would be nice to fit in my old pants again.

vlcd8 -2.5

Yesterday I didn't lose anything, this weekend I lost 1lb (due to cheating because of a bad hubby that brings home food from work)
By rights I shouldn't have lost anything, I ate a Reuben sandwich yesterday, but I skipped all of my protein, apparently its ok for me to have a little bit of fat.
One of the girls on my facebook group said she loses better with some fat, maybe I'm the same way?
Oh well, I don't think I'll test that right now.


I've done pretty well with my losses, in 8 days I've lose 10.5lbs after loadinging (2lb) so 8.5 from my original weight.

Its really hard to be a mom on this diet.
I find that most of my nibbles and cheats are from my son's leftovers (that I'm used to eating).
And then I have to feed him 3+ times a day, yummy stuff I would usually eat...like sandwiches. I really miss a good old sandwich lol.

I think I miss sushi the most, and pizza. We used to have pizza a lot and before that, sushi, and I miss the flavors.

Oh well 2 more weeks of vlcds and then p3+p4 where I can eat a little more.

VLCD2 -2.5lbs from vlcd1

This morning I woke up to a nice loss of 2.5lbs! Woohoo!
I never peed so much in my life as I did yesterday.
And I had to skip my vegetables because I don't have any in the house that are on protocol until payday.

Yesterday I had lots of tea sweetened with truvia, and water.
An apple for a noon snack.
Grilled chicken with curry spices for lunch and dinner. (2pm & 8pm)
An apple for 6pm snack
Cauliflower with dinner (only veggie, even remotely close to any protocol, I had)

Today I had lots of tea and water (not as much as yesterday but I'm still running clear lol)
Chicken (same as yesterday @ 2 & 6 this time) with grilled onion (2 slices)
A couple slices of thin ham (97% fat free 20 calories for 2 slices) don't shoot me because it's not on protocol. I honestly needed the flavor.
An orange each at around 5pm and 8pm.

If I stall I'm just going to accept it, I don't think I will because of my lack of vegetable though.

Preload day 2

Lost .5lb!
Thank goodness I'm preloading or that would really tell me that I need to eat more fat. Hopefully when my mom comes tomorrow I'll be able to get some good ol' fats in my system.

Today I ate:
My famous Sonoran scrambled eggs! (Which have scrambled eggs, bacon, chilis, cilantro, onion, lots of oil and ripped up corn torillas)
3 glasses whole milk
Big bowl of cereal with whole milk
Chicken teriyaki stir-fry with cabbage, chilis, cauliflower, cilantro, and onions

I know, not fatty enough but I'm working on it, REALLY!

Tomorrow the real loading begins!

I also took my measurments today:
Bust: 42
Waist: 41.5
Hips: 53

How about I make a goal for that:
Bust: 34
Waist: 27
Hips: 36

Also, I decided my end goal should be 118lbs (19 BMI)
But, for this round my goal is 237lbs (or more if I'm lucky =D)
That's 23lbs to lose in 23days. Wish me luck!

Hello Fatty Foods! (get ready for goodbye)

Starting weight before loading: 260.5

Today I took my first injection of this round. I mixed 3.2ml bac. Water and 1ml vitamin B12 with 5000iu hcg. Taking a daily dose of .15ml for 175iu hcg.

I think the B12 is supposed to help with hunger and sleep, we'll see how that goes.
I didn't get hungry last time and I slept great so maybe it will help with something else. I know I don't get enough vitamins right now I've been slacking, hopefully I will while on tthe diet.

My son is being a monster latel, so that will probably not help when it comes time to eat protocol friendly, but if I can't do it normally I will try vegetarian or drinking extra teas or something.
Hell, maybe I'll go "rogue" and eat extra protien or extra veggies.
Maybe I'll do the 800 cal version if I can't stick to 500. Anyways, I am going to stick to some sort of version of this diet and ride it out and lose some damn weight before summer!

Today I ate:
Chicken salad sandwich
Chicken fried steak
Mashed potatoes with butter and gravy
Corn with butter
Big bowl of cereal
Cheese
Bologna, ham, bacon, tomato, and cheese sandwich

Its not much but I don't want to turn into a cow on my two "pre-load" days (I'm doing an extra two days of loading so I can eat cupcakes at my son's birthday party)

I will try to keep you more informed than last time, hopefully keeping myself on track that way!

Going To Try It Again: This Time Whole-Hearted

Well I obviously didn't last.
Probably for the most part because my diet buddy couldn't last. And then there was the stress of moving to a new apartment. And putting up with all the bullshit in the new place. And Him, who effing drives me insane and I don't know why I'm still with...mostly because I don't feel like getting a job, I like being a mom.
So I'm going to try again. I can't decide whether to do a short round or a long round though.
I have enough for a long round but I don't know if I'm up for the challenge.

Of course I have two weeks to decide.
I'm thinking of starting on the day before my son's birthday party so I can have cake and other stuff with everyone else, and call it loading.
Of course cake will be about the only sugary thing I have. I'm not big on sugar and I need to focus on good fats for loading....
Like cheeeeeeese. o_O <-- Googly eyes =D

So there it all is.
I need motivation.
I need a motive in the first place.

I really need to punch Him in the face for hogging my side of the bed, which I am on the edge of.

Then after I'm done losing weight I'm going to find a good man.
A real man, not a wussy little boy excuse for one.

I should have stuck with cowboys and Marines.
*sigh*

Did I mention I'm also PMSing?

VLCD4 (-1.5lbs)

Well today I was awakened with cheeseits so I had a couple (my baby brought cheeseits to my bed and left them there when he woke me up).
Drank water and tea all day.
Had shrimp and beansprouts (I know its not on the list it was the only veggie option where I went aparently)) for a very late lunch (like 6 o'clock).
Came home and had a little chicken and an orange.
(Also snuck some rice crackers, shame on me lol.)

So we'll see if I stall or gain after my variated diet today.
I was still under 500 cals so hopefully the food doesn't bother my body or the hCG.

Yesterday...what did I have...hm...*thinking*
For lunch I had a hamburger patty with mustard and asparagus with a strawberry balsamic reduction and strawberries.
Ate dinner around 8:30pm, was at the mall so we had the Japanese food they have and I had shrimp and cabbage. Luckily this place uses water instead of oil and very light seasoning. (Also stole a couple piece of brocolli when hubby wasn't looking, ooh I'm such a rogue!) So for the most part protocol friendly yesterday.
Lost 1.5lbs

I'm looking into making "Cocoa Crack" or "Cocoa Mug Cake" which are rogue-ish, but from what I've read, hasn't deterred anyone's progress. (Most likely eaten in moderatation)
People do a lot of variating to make this diet more user-friendly, for the most part I will stick to Dr. S' stuff, but sometimes a person gets cravings right?
I'm not a crazy adventurer though.
Some doctors came up with an 800 calorie version and after losing nothing on VCLD3, I'm afraid of even going 20 cals over lol.

Well there's my update. Don't shoot me for cheating a few times, I know there are hCG Nazis out there waiting to pounce.


[b]I am now at 261.5lbs, that is down from my pre-hCG weight of 264.5 and loading weight of 266.5.
It's also down from my February 7th 2011 weight of 272lbs, so in the past two weeks I have lost 10.5lbs! YAY!!!
5 (or 4.5) of those are from the hCG diet in the past 4 days![/b]
