Everyday I creep a little closer to the 120's. I think stressing about the wedding has definitely taken it's toll on me. My goal for today is just to relax, enjoy the kids and keep wishing for snow! I have 3 weigh ins to hit my goal of being in the 120's by New Year's Day. That is a .66666lb average for those days.... :/ so far my daily average has been .52lbs! I think I'll be cutting it close! but on the bright side...I am only 6.8lbs away from my goal of 125!!! I swear...I NEVER thought I'd see that weight again and here it is...only a couple weeks away!! I am so excited!

Well folks...I survived Christmas with a total of 1lb lost over yesterday and today! I was hoping to be in the 120's by new years day, but I'm not quite sure if I'll hit the mark. However, every day I lose I am that much closer! after gaining on my load up days I needed to lose 16.8lbs to hit 125...I have already lost 56% of what I needed to lose and I'm not even half way through P2 yet! I KNOW I'll hit my 125 goal, but 115 isn't looking too realistic at this point! but I'm gonna keep pushing through! only 7.4lbs til I hit my first goal and 17.4 til my ultimate goal!!!!

I survived Christmas! But boy was I tempted! Surrounded by sooo much good food...it was extremely hard to turn it down! I didn't realize just how much I ate on the holidays before....don't get me wrong..everyone over indulges on the holidays, but for how many times I had to fight with myself NOT to eat what I normally would made me realize just how lucky I am to be on my diet this holiday season! I'm only 2.9lbs away from breaking the 120's mark and I'm glad I didn't give in! 7.8lbs until I hit my goal and everyday I don't eat the food that I am so fond of brings me that much closer! I can't wait to step on the scale and see 125!!!

OK followers...get ready for this...I am a 100% complete IDIOT! You know how there are people that are GREAT at advice, but then rarely take there own????....well that person would be me...It has been brought to my attention that I have NOT been hitting my 500 cals like I thought because I got cocky and stopped weighing my food thinking I could tell by looking how much I was eating! Turns out I have only been consuming about 300 cals for the last week and a half AND exercising like a champ....low and behold a crazy stall in weight loss. I consumed 420 calories yesterday(realized too late that I hadn't hit my 500), did not go to the gym and had a #2 and I managed to lose 2.6lbs this morning!! that means I only have 9lbs to go til I hit my 125 goal and 19lbs to hit my 115! I am feeling more positive then ever!!! So some advice to you hcg-ers....WEIGH EVERYTHING YOU CONSUME!!! AND DO NOT CHEAT!!! Best advice I can give!!

I haven't posted in a couple days because quite honestly I haven't had much positive to say! I have been very frustrated lately and stressed. I did not want to end up bad talking the diet. I have made a few wrong choices in the last week(too much exercise, not enough sleep, not enough water). I am back on track and feeling positive. I am going to take a break from the gym...not the sauna and light cardio....just the resistance training! I know I am building muscle which is good, but it is also affecting my weight loss. I want to lose my weight first and if I gain from lean muscle mass after the diet.. then ok! :) I am keeping my head up and working hard to not discourage myself! I know I will hit my goal even if it doesn't happen for a couple more weeks!

All I can say is WTF?! I was sooo good yesterday! everything done to the "T". I even had a Christmas party I went to and SURVIVED! I did not touch a single thing I wasn't suppose to, I hit my calories and there was no late night snacking!!! I don't get it! I am so frustrated right now! I know a loss is a loss, but I have only lost 1.8lbs in 5 days! The first 4.2lb loss was all of the load weight, so I have only lost 1.8lbs off of my original weight!! I pray that tomorrow is better! It needs to be to keep me going!

I'm having a rough week! I worked out Monday with my trainer and it felt great, but for the last 3 days I have been in some serious pain. My calves are burning and I am having a hard time walking. Normally I wouldn't care, but it has put a serious damper on my mood. I am totally cranky and edgy. I can't play with the kids cause I am in so much pain, so I am constantly frustrated :( I lost 1.2lbs this morning, so you'd think I'd be jumping for joy, but I can't jump! I've been trying to keep myself busy, but I'm in too much pain to do anything! Instead I sit on the couch and read to the kids, but being lazy is making me hungry! I want to eat everything in the house!

Not happy about only losing .2lbs today, BUT I did lose 4.2 yesterday, so I can't complain too much. Funny thing is...I got my cravings back! Too weird...Ryan says I'm only craving junk because I CAN'T have it and I believe him! You always want what you can't have! I will hold my head high and accept the .2lb loss, but I BETTER see a much higher loss tomorrow! I have an average to maintain and .2 is definitely not it!!

Starting fresh!! I managed to lose all my load up weight the first day of the VLCD! I was worried it would take a couple days to get rid of, but now it's all lose-lose-lose from here! I am so excited! I can't wait to lose the remaining 22.6lbs! I am currently between sizes..8-10. I'm hoping when all is said and done that I'll be able to wear a size 6!! That would be amazing! I can definitely tell Ryan is enjoying the weight loss as well!! ;) He looks at me differently now! I am going to post one of my before pics from when I tried dieting on my own before mexico! The picture disgusts me but it is a great before to put with a current pic! At time of current pic I weighed what I weigh now! 137.6...That's Almost a 50lb difference! I am NEVER going back to that!

The loading days are finally OVER!!! I am hoping that this will be my last round and that I'll never have to do load up days EVER again!! I still can't believe I use to eat like that every day! No wonder I never had energy...I have been feeling so sluggish, but today I ate my good-for-you food and I am feeling a bit better!! As the numbers sit...I have a total of 26.8lbs to lose! I lost 34 in 49 days last time and this time I have 43 days to lose 26....totally do-able!! At least that's what I am telling myself :) I'll keep you all posted everyday as I did before! I need a .6lb daily loss average to hit my goal! I CAN DO THIS!!!

Thank goodness the first load day is over!! I ate some yummy food, but it was not worth the tummy ache! I am really missing my veggies and chicken!

This was my lunch..Garlic french bread topped with tomato, turkey, avocado, bacon and cheddar cheese! It was totally yummy, but it sat very heavy!! and then there was dinner!!

I could not find a pic, but it was the new vino blanco Pan seared pork cappellini! It was amazing! I got full, but it was a "good" full. I am up 2.4lbs...ugh...but my first round of load days I gained 3.4lbs so....so far so good!! Today is my last load day!! woo hoo!
