Day 25: 197.2. I still feel good. I don't really get hungry...just jealous of all the fabulous things everyone else is eating. Ed took the kids to Chili's, I stayed home with the baby.
Day 26 196.4. I am getting worried about when I go off this diet. Am I going to be able to keep the weight off? If history tells me anything, the answer is NO! I keep thinking that I can once again eat those things in 18 days...but when I ate those things before, is how I got fat! We will see how I handle it. I think that I am going to be restrictive 6 out of 7 days, and eat what I want on the 7th day.
Day 27: 195.8. Every day there is a loss, so that is awesome. I am feeling really good about where I am at. I only am really getting hungry at night. I try to eat only 1 meal a day spread throughout the day.
Day 28: 195. I was really hungry last night, so I broke down and ate my daily allowance of starch (saltine crackers). I think that I would have lost a full pound had I not done that :(. Oh well, I will try harder today.
Day 29: 193.8. I really worked on losing that full pound and look at me! That puts me at 20.2 llbs lost. I only need to lose 9.8 more to reach my goal of 30 lbs in 40 days! 15 more days to go!
Day 30: 193.4. I am going to Oregon for the weekend. I hope I am fine and stay away from the snacks.
Day 31: ???. I weighed myself on Grandma Wendy's scale. It says that I am down to 190...that would be awesome. My goal for this trip is to get down to 191 - that is out of the embarrassing 'obese' category of BMI Standards.

hcg Diet week 3 cont...
Day 20: 201. I thought for sure I would lose a pound today...so sad. I think I will try the apple day tomorrow.
Day 21: 200.2. I didn't do the apple day, I just didn't eat any starch. I think I am going to work on that, even though that is the only thing I enjoy eating nowadays.
Day 22: 198.6. Yay! That helped put me back on track for my goal of losing 30 pounds in these 40 days. I figure that I have to lose .7 lbs every day until the 25th to reach my goal. Crossing my fingers. I am thinking that laying off the starches is possibly helpful. Oh yeah, goodbye 200's!
Day 23: 198.6. Ugh, I guess it was my fault. I made these awesome cookies for Brie's school class. I am not as strong as Amber, and I had to 'taste' it. I kinda made the recipe up, and I needed to know if they worked out...well that one taste turned into a full cookie. They were really good. I am glad I stopped at just one! I did take Amber's advice and froze some for later :). Day 24: 197.8: Yesterday I felt good all day. I even totally forgot to eat dinner. It only effected me this morning...realizing that I was hungry. I am still worried about going back to normal with no hCG. I am afraid that I will go back to eating crap. And I have a long way to go.

hCG Diet Week 3
Day 18: 201.4. No weight loss today. So sad. Oh well, I guess it happens. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Day 19: 201. I was hoping for more, I seem to have slowed down. I hope that I can meet my goal of 30 pounds, now I am starting to doubt. I wonder if I should do an apple day...or do I have to wait?

hCG Diet Week 2
Day 11: 206 lbs...lost another full pound! That is awesome, I almost feel like this can stop at any time. I am so used to dieting, and then plateauing. We will see.
Day 12: 204.8, Well I haven't plateaued yet. Still feeling good. I do keep thinking about what I get to eat after my 40 days are up. I sure hope that I don't 'fall off the wagon'.
Day 13: 204.8, I knew it would happen sooner or later. No loss...but I am stil optomistic.
Day 14: no hcg 203.8. Ok, that is what I am talking about! I even cheated a little and had some horseraddish on my itty bitty steak! Well, maybe that is not cheating, but it sure was tasty.
Day 15: 203. I am still feeling good. Yesterday was really hard for me, my cravings were so strong. I gave in a little and had one Hershey Kiss. It was a mistake because I felt really guilty, plus I wanted more! It magnified my cravings. But I held strong the rest of the day. I am also worried, because I doubt that I will have enough hCG to last the full 40 days. This morning, the two squirts didn't seem to be as much as the other days.
Day 16: 202. Another lb is awesome. I felt really good all day yesterday, and so far today. My cravings have subsided, and I can fit into some cute pants that I grew out of!
Day 17: 201.4. Still feeling good. I got a little hungry yesterday, but nothing I couldn't handle. I had a sneaking suspicion that I wouldn't lose another pound, only because that seems to be the pattern.

I have started the hCG diet with a friend. I am hopeful that I can attain my goals. Here are my stats for Week One My experience is this so far:
Day 1 load: Started out at 214lbs. I felt odd all day, kinda sick actually. I didn't feel like eating, I really had to force myself to 'load.
Day 2 load: weighed in at 213.8. I felt better and had more energy. I was able to eat, but not like I wanted to. I was really looking forward to the 'load'.
Day 3 load: weighed in at 213.8. I felt good and back to normal, except with more energy. I enjoyed my load day, and ate what I wanted. But I was really looking forward to my very low calorie days.
Day 4 500 calories: Weighed in at 213.8. I was suprised I didn't gain any weight during my 'load' days. I was pretty hungry throughout the day. Had a major headache from giving up my Diet Coke. I wanted to eat, and had major cravings. The day kinda sucked and made me wonder if I can do it.
Day 5 500 calories: Weighed in at 211.6. Awesome! I feel better! I really didn't have any hunger pains. I still have my caffiene headache. Maybe I should start drinking coffee?!
Day 6 500 calories: Weighed in at 209.4. I wish that I can drop the weight like this every day...but I know I will slow down. I feel better, and I don't have a headache yet! I wonder if I can drink my 'low-carb slimfast shake' for a meal instead of the meat and veggies?
Day 7 500 calories, no HCG: Weighed in at 209.8 :(. Disappointed that I didn't lose anything, and instead gained! I am hoping that it is a fluke. I think that it may be because I cheated (that is a strong word). I ate butterless popcorn at the movies for Lukes Birthday. But I thought that it would take the place of both of my starches (I didn't eat the bread). I was a little nervous about it effecting me poorly, so I cut out the second fruit, and the second meat. Maybe I didn't eat enough. What happens when you eat less than the 500 calories? I was pretty hungry throughout the day. The family had pizza for Lukes birthday, I settled for an apple.
Day 8 500 calories: Weighed in at 208.8...I was hoping to make up for yesterday, but that is good I guess. My hunger has really left me. My cravings are almost non-existant. It is almost boring not eating. I think that I ate junk for something to do. When I get bored, I automatically think, "What's in the pantry?" Now I have to stop myself, and chug some water. I am not getting headaches any more. I think that is a good thing.
Day 9: Weighed in at 208.4...only .4 lbs? What about the lb a day? I have been soooo good too! I wonder if taking tylonol is bad? That is the only thing that I can think of that I am doing...other than not eating the full 2 meals a day. I am definately not eating more!
Day 10: Weighed in at 207! Yay! I finally lost my lb in a day! At least that will help me catch up. I almost feel like my clothes are a little looser, I don't know it might all be in my head. Edgar keeps telling me that I am looking better. I think that it is his way of keeping me motivated.

I wish there was a magic pill
I think that someone should invent a pill that would take away my cravings, give me energy, smooth my cellulite, shrink my belly & dissolve my double chin...Yes, no more double chin. That would be awesome! Well until someone does that, I am going to continue going to the gym. There are days that I actually look forward to it...then I get there, and I want to cry. I literally felt like crying when my trainer actually came damn near to pushing me over the edge. I know I complain, but I really am glad that I am going. I feel like I am getting stronger. I don't feel like such a wimp anymore. I do wish that I was losing more weight. I have sort of reached a plateau or something. I guess at least I am not gaining. If anyone knows of a pill -- let me know!

Weight Loss Tracker
Here is my 'Weight Loss Tracker'. It is kind of fun to see the progress. I am currently on week 2 (the first week I am not counting because it was just a couple of days). The 'goal' line is not my actual goal. It is 10% of my total weight goal. I have decided to break it up into different milestones. That is my first major milestone. I started at 214 (from Hawaii), and am down to 206.4. The weight loss is slower and steadier, but I am ok with it. It really seems sustainable. I have different goals with my trainer. She says I should be able to lose 10lbs a month, and she said that I should lose 8-10 inches in my mid-section in the first month. We started this a week ago, Saturday (when she measured me). I am having a good time keeping track of everything. It doesn't seem so daunting anymore. I even look forward to my butt-kicking with Lilly (then when I go, I am hating life).
