NOT a Happy Camper!!

VLCD Day 40

Up 1.2.....I am now 2.0 from my 50# mark. I've been perfect. Have come to the conclusion....after trying this a second time, that AME drops are NOT for me. I've lost 2 weeks by taking them. Now.....it may be Sunday before I hit it because I took the drops before weighing this morning. I'm not even going to hit my second goal I made for myself. 9 lbs in 8 days at my weight is not possible. <#$@*&!!! That's what I have to say about that.
But don't get me wrong.......I'm not discouraged or giving up. It's onward. As a matter of fact...to compensate for this wasted week...I'm giving up coffee til March 31st. Yep.....so if I'm grouchy you'll know why!!! LOL

KEEP ON LOSING YA LOSERS!!!

Keep On Keepin'On

VLCD Day 39

Lost the weight I'd gained yesterday. Back to .8 til I hit 50 lbs. Come on baby tonight!!!! Had some good quality bathroom time today.....hoping that helps!! LOL
Wore my size 6 pants to work today....felt so skinny!! And had several people compliment me and ask how much weight I've lost now. I've decided to tell people I've gotten rid of..........lbs. because I have no intention on ever finding that tub o lard again!!!!
I was gardening in a pair of nylon fitness shorts this afternoon. SO BIG but still wearable especially in the yard!!! But I noticed hey I don't have a lot of loose flab on my legs (they've always been pretty muscular...too much for these short legs)..... They desperately need color though!! LOL
Ok....here's a funny!! I use my old FAT bras for housework and yardwork. The looseness in the cup area comes in handy.......to securly hold your cellphone while you work!!!! In my new sexy plungy bras there's no room for a cell phone!!
So nothing exciting.......just another day of being a LOSER with fantastic friends!!!

BOO!!!!

VLCD Day 38

I was up .8 today. BOO!!!
I think it was because I have had salmon for 3 days straight! I really miss my ahi tuna. Lou said we need to check out the fish market downtown......calling this week.
 So  even though I have salmon grilled already....I had grilled chicken and veggies for lunch and beef ginger garlic stirfry for dinner. Another stir fry for lunch tomorrow and chili for dinner tomorrow  night. It's already cooked....I was on a roll tonight!!! I also have one more chili for Thursday.
So now I'm 1.8 from hitting my 50 lb mark. It's really making me work for it!!!
Also I think I'm finally able to tell that the AME is curbing my appetite. That's a good thing!!
Oh and one last HURRAH FOR ME!!! I wore a sweater today that I bought back in November. It's a size small......and though I've lost weight....I've still got a set of girls that aren't small!! Anyway...I may be 5 lbs smaller than last November. It didn't fit then but it fit today!!! I'm going to do my measurements this weekend and compare to Veteran's Day. I must have lost several inches with the hcg!!! I LOVE this stuff!!!

Pants On The Ground......Almost!!

VLCD Day 37

Down .4 for a weekly total of (drum roll please) 5.4 lbs!!!
However the scale and I battled. At first it kept telling me I'd gained a pound. No way!! I was OP...not swollen...etc. Then it told me I'd lost a pound.....ok if that'd been my FIRST weigh I'd have believed it. So I settled for .4   Maybe it was because I'd eaten my main meal at about 2:00 yesterday. Did I burn to many calories after that?? I don't know but I'm not gonna overanalyze it....anymore!! LOL

So this week's goal is 5 lbs....but if I hit 4.6 (driver's license weight!!!) I'll be just as happy!!

Some observations today:

Wore some black jeans my friend Jill sent to me...10P. Nice "These Aren't Your Daughter's Jeans" pants!! Kept hiking them up. Noticed the crotch was pretty baggy.......so I tugged down. Yep they came off without me unbuttoning or unzipping them!!! I'll be shopping this weekend for one more pair of pants because that's 2 pair out the door. Have to have 1 pair of black jeans for work as blue ones can only be worn on Friday's....unless you want to be written up.

I was freezing tonight!!! As I pulled nice hot clothes out of the dryer I spied a pair of Lou's sweat pants. OH!!! I don't have sweats and those would feel so good. I didn't care if they were skin tight on me. Jokes on me!! They are hanging on me!!!!

Lastly, I had a facial today. My gal has done my face for probably 10 years. She told me my face was too thin. She was worried. Now she knows what my body looks like but she was concerned how drawn my face was. Ironically, my whole life, my mother always based my weight on my face and not my body. She'd tell me I was too thin.....guess that's just what my body does because I have quite a few left to go.

I came to the conclusion today I may not be able to get to my goal without being sickly thin. I'm good with that. Maybe I really only have 25 lbs left. I will see. My husband doesn't want to hear this....he is fixated on a number. It really doesn't matter the number because the body will be......

SMOKING HOT!!!!!!!!

!!Hit My Weekly Goal!!

VLCD Day 36

Dropped another .8 lbs. May not seem like much but I'm perfectly happy with it. Keep adding it up and it's pounds!! Now I'm down 11.4 lbs. this round and 5.0 lbs since last Monday. Since 5.0 was my goal this week I will achieve my goal plus more in the morning!!!
I'm 1.2 from reaching my 50 lbs lost mark........and 5.4 lbs from weighing what my license has said for over 25 years!!! LOL  I know I shouldn't post next week's goal til tomorrow but whatever. My goal for next week is to hit that license plate weight. So until I weigh in tomorrow I won't know exactly how much that is. Whatever........I'll post an exact number tomorrow.
I had a goal that by March 30th I'd weigh 140 lbs. With being sick, a brutal TOM, and over indulging in my illegal creamer.....I MAY hit 147 by then. All I know is that I'm dropping and getting closer and closer to my goal. I'm back on track and that is ALL that counts!
I will be trying to achieve a loss of 4-5 lbs per week.  I know TOM is gonna hit during spring break and put a dent in THAT week's loss but that can't be helped. But if  can keep on protocol (except for my planned cheat the 30-31 of this month) I could hit my goal about the second week of May and be on P4 when I begin summer vacation on June 2nd!! That'd be nice to be able to celebrate the last day of school however I chose!! This has been a rough year so.....well enough said!!

DROPPING IT LIKE IT'S HOT!!!!!

Did you miss me????

VLCD Day 35  Sorry for the delay......computer anitvirus download issues:(

I finally figured out what was hurting me!!! It was my illegal creamer. I had started drinking 2 Starbucks travel mugs EVERY day!! OMG!! As long as I keep it to 1 cup I lose great. If I drink 1 mug my loss is less than a pound.

So let me get you up to date. I'm now down 10.6 lbs. Not great for 35 days but I've lost 4.2 lbs since Monday and to reach my 5 pound goal by this Monday I only need .8 more. I can do this. I did have.....yep 2 travel mugs of coffee this morning. It's so cold and rainy!!!! To help compensate I ate only one meal today (after my breakfast.). I had 5 oz of meat and a good supply of veggies. I'm drinking TONS of water today too!!  Later I will have my apple...my yummy Fuji apple!!!

I only need 1.8 pounds to FINALLY hit my 50 lb mark too!! I've been saying that since November but it's happening folks......and within a couple of days too!!

I am now wearing size 8 pants for the most part. My brand new white jeans (of which I owned a size 14 of them back in the fat days.....couldn't wear them till after I'd lost some) look awesome!!  I will own a pair of these same pants when I get to goal. I so love them!!!  I was majorly bloated when I bought them from TOM and thought they were so tight!!! So when I went to wear them on Thursday....they actually fit!! Never again will I do that!!! LOL   I also had to buy a pair of size 6 crop pants......they are tight but its ok.

Although I won't hit my goal of 140 by March 30th.....it's very possible I could be down around 145. I will definately take that!!! Haven't been that weight since after a round of a certain prepackaged diet program I did back in 1990!!!  This time I'm doing it the right way. Eating this healthy is part of me....though I won't lie...I can still put crave foods away!!! I will really have to watch it when I hit P4. I know this about me.

Next weekend I will measure and post my inches lost for this round.

Back On Track!!

VLCD Day 19  Back On Track!!

Down 1.0 today!! The curse of the green beans is finally over!! Drank 102 oz of water and was POP all day......even when I served a special snack to my tutoring students of popcorn/MnM's!! Not one morsel passed these lips!  I'm hoping for the same or better tomorrow because the green beans will be totally out of my system.
Very excited about the new group we started for March so that a group of us losers can be accountable every day to each other. I love my hcg family and they mean the world to me. I couldn't do this without you!!
More tomorrow!!
