R1 - P2 - D44

Previous weight=149.6
Current weight=148.2
Loss/Gain=1.4

Total weight loss=30.2 I HIT MY GOAL OF 30 LBS!!!!!!!

As you've noticed I have quit posting what I have been eating...Reason for that is...I eat pretty much the same thing everyday! I have also reached my 30lb goal for this round and I am ECSTATIC!!! As of today I weigh 148.2 and I have lost a total of 15.5 inches! I just bought my first pair of size 7/8 pants (yes they are still a little snug, but they look GREAT on my ass!!) I still have 5 more days on the VLCD and then it is back to eating regular food, but with a few restrictions....NO SUGAR! NO STARCH! Which really shouldn't be a big deal! I have learned to LOVE my veggies and fruit and my confidence on following through with this diet has sky rocketed! Right now I only have 22.2 more lbs to lose until I reach my ultimate goal of 53lbs lost! At the rate I'm going...I should be at my wedding (and rest of my life) weight by February!!!!! I can't even begin to express how great I feel!!

Starting measurements Current measurements Goal measurements
W- 40.5" W- 35.5" W- 28" = 7.5" dif

H- 44" H- 40" H- 36" = 4" dif

B- 39" B- 36" B- 36" (G)

T- 22" T- 20" T- no goal

A- 13.5" A- 12" A- no goal

Just remember when looking at the measurements and weight.....I accomplished all this in only 6 weeks!!! How cool is that?! I am so close to my goals and my new me! Thank you HCGcompletediet.com!!!

Total weight loss=28.8

Sorry I have not posted in awhile....My internet has been down :( I am still going strong! I am also almost at my 30lb goal for Round 1! YAY ME! I start the maintenance phase in 9 days! I am terrified! I am suppose to start eating 1500 calories which is quite the jump up from 500!! I have a very good understanding of what is needed to stay healthy(food wise). I am taking after photos on November 7th and I will post those as soon as I take them! There should be a noticeable difference considering I have lost a total of 13 inches all over! I am also down a full pant size and bra size(unfortunately on the bra size) :( Round 2 will start on December 11th! So I am safe this Holiday season! I will be on phase 3 over thanksgiving and on the VLCD come Christmas! Thank goodness I am dedicated and motivated!

Previous weight=153.6
Current weight=152
Loss/Gain=1.6

Total weight loss=26.4

I am starting to believe that going to the gym is the answer to my stall! In the last 2 days I have lost 1.6lbs! So I guess that means I will be going to the gym every night from now on! I have 16 days left on the VLCD and I am getting nervous about the maintenance phase! I'm sure I'll do just fine, but I am worried about getting my crazy appetite back! All I know is once I lose all my weight I have one hell of a wedding present waiting for me and that is what keeps me going!!

Today was another shitty day. I'm starting to feel very frustrated! I am up .2lbs today. My eating habits are the same, I'm taking the drops like I am suppose to yet for some reason I am at a stall....UGH!!!! I have tried the laxative tea, the apple day and I have cut out my afternoon fruit! All I can think is my lack of cardio is affecting my weight loss. For the last week and a half I have not been able to get to the gym like I use to. Between being sick, being out of town and being on my period the last week has sucked! I am still down 24.8lbs in 31 days, but I was still hoping for better results! So for the last 18 days of the VLCD I am going to make a point of going to the gym everyday to get in my 30 mins of cardio...After that when I'm on the maintenance phase I am going to go balls out at the gym!!!! I have 18 days to mentally and physically prepare myself to get up at 4am every morning to do 1 hr of cardio and when Ryan gets home go back to the gym and do another hour of cardio and a half hour of resistance training!! I may not lose weight on the maintenance phase but by god I better lose some damn inches! Cause I know the number isn't what counts! It's the inches lost that change the way you look and feel! I WILL be a size 8 by my wedding damn it!!!!!

I went out of town this last weekend, so sorry for the lack of postings! Yesterday I did an apple day since I stalled out Sat., Sun., and Mon. As of this morning I am down 1.2lbs. bringing me to a total of 25lbs lost in 30 days! Not too shabby. I also just finished my period and getting over a cold, so I will resume going to the gym tonight! I haven't gone to the gym in awhile and I am quite positive that had something to do with my up and down weight loss. I have 19 days left to the VLCD phase of my diet! I am hoping to lose another 10lbs by then! If not...I'll settle for an even 30lb weight loss! Round 2 starts just before Christmas! While I'm on maintenance phase (phase 3 of this diet) I'll probably post every other day! Depending on my mood! :) The plan is to hit the gym EVERYDAY of the maintenance phase!!!!!! not just to keep the weight off, but to tone up before the wedding! For those of you who haven't done the math I have lost a total of 10 inches all over in 4 weeks!! I am almost at my bust goal, but still have another 11 inches to lose on my waist and 5.5 inches to go on my hips!!! The gym sure definitely come in handy in the inches department! Only .5 inches to lose on bust and hopefully I stop losing up top after I lose that 1/2 an inch!! otherwise my new nickname will be "mosquito bite"! lol

R1 - P2 - D23

Previous weight=156.2
Current weight=155
Loss/Gain=1.2

Total weight loss=23.4




So...I have failed to post the last couple days. On top of being on my period, I have also come down with a cold..UGH..My weight loss has still been slowing, but it is holding a consistent .4lb loss for the last couple days. At this rate I should lose at least 10 more lbs by the end of the 49 days. Seeing as a was only expecting to lose 30lbs this round, if I lose another 10 it will put me at a total of 33.4lbs. I know it is a good number, but I am a sucker for instant gratification! I have measurements again this Saturday. I don't think there will be a significant inch loss since I've only lost 1.8lb so far this week. Maybe next week will be better!

Today is a little better than yesterday, as far as keeping busy. I woke up and made the family breakfast so I could have something to clean! (Sad...I know!) Went to the gym for awhile and then came home and cleaned a little more. Now I am just trying to keep busy researching stuff on the com! I'm not very happy about the weight gain, but I am still going to blame it on my period because I am feeling rather bloated today and all together BLAH! I was expecting this week to be a rough week, so I haven't let myself get discouraged yet!

Considering I started my period this morning...I'm pretty happy with my results! I lost a whole 1.5" off my waist and .8lbs. Today was a pretty hard day. I've noticed that when there is not a lot for me to do around the house "The Hunger" attacks. And of course when "The Hunger" hits the "Mood Monster" is in full swing!! I guess I just have to remember to keep myself busy!!!

So...I realized this morning I was a week off when calculating my period. It actually starts tomorrow which would make sense of yesterdays weight GAIN! I am no longer disappointed! Seeing as most all women retain water during their menstrual cycle. Which also means I am more than pleased with todays weight LOSS! A little tired today. Not a lot of energy, but it is the end of the week and the monsters take a lot out of me! I'm looking forward to taking it easy this weekend with the family.

Very disappointed with today :( I don't know if it had to do with the onion I ate (since it's the first time I've eaten an onion on this diet) or because I hadn't had a snack the last couple days so my body hung on to it....Pretty clueless right now! I didn't feel any different yesterday, but I am approaching my period soon so maybe I'm already starting to retain water........? Well....tomorrow is another day so we'll see how it goes! I have measurements coming up again on Saturday, so wish me luck!!

Today was a good day. My sis and mom came to visit w/ the baby muppet. I think "The Hunger" is officially under control, especially since I keep forgetting to eat my damn snacks. I have been feeling a little more light headed than usual, so I am assuming that is from the lack of calorie intake. I need to remember tomorrow. I went to the gym today. I spent 30mins on the treadmill, did a 30min AB circuit and spent 30mins in the sauna. It felt awesome! Let's see if it pays off tomorrow.

Snack- 2 grissini bread sticks

Dinner- 3.5oz Tilapia
10.5oz Steamed Cabbage

Ok...so...I couldn't wait 'til later to post this!! I lost 2lbs today and that loss has officially knocked me down into the 150's...159 to be exact!! I have this overwhelming feeling of accomplishment! I knew I would lose weight on this diet, but I never imagined I'd lose just shy of 20lbs in 15 days! I am beginning to feel like a whole new person! On a side note to all of you that read this...my sister insisted I let everyone know about my "bathroom experience" this morning!! lol It is normal, on this diet, to go a few days with out a "bowel movement". The last couple days I had begun to feel slightly bloated and hadn't pooped so I took a laxative last night before. This is NOT against protocol. They recommend using the "Smooth move organic herbal laxative tea". However, my tea hadn't arrived yet so I used an over the counter brand. Needless to say, this morning I felt the affects. Yes it did assist me in losing the 2lbs, but laxatives are not to be used BY ANY MEANS to lose weight. Excessive use can cause damage to your insides. Only use as recommended. I do feel better and my bloating has subsided. AND did I forget to mention......
I"M IN THE 150's!!!!! YEE HAW!!!

Yay for measurements! I am definitely losing inches...6 inches all over to be exact! AND...It's only been 2 weeks!! However, my weight loss today was not very impressive :( Hopefully tomorrow the scale will decide to be my friend! I accidentally forgot to eat my snack today so I am hoping that does not affect my weight in a negative way! Only 1.1lbs to go until I am officially in the 150's! Here's hoping I'll get to see those numbers tomorrow! My fingers are crossed!!!!!

So...we ended up not doing measurements, cause Ryan had to work early! Measurements are scheduled for Sunday morning! Today was a pretty easy day (as far as the diet goes). I had plenty of stuff to keep my mind off of eating. My sister came over w/ my niece and we had a play date with the daycare kids! I also made cinnamon rolls for the kids and surprisingly I did not get those crazy hunger pains when smelling the yummyness! It's been getting a little easier everyday!
