VLCD Day 18
OMG!!! Now I know for sure green beans are NOT for me!! I was up .8 after sticking to the program (well except trying the veggie a second day to check). I knew I was gonna be up because my belly still felt full....I ate late. That's 1 lb in 3 days I've gained. Geez!! Sticking with the foods I know are POP and those 3 veggies I know I lose very well that are my little secret. I've drank 102 oz of water today.....bathroom is still not as good as it has been :( Ok.....I'm taking NO PRISIONERS!!! Who is with me!?? Not one MnM, kiss, jelly bean, nada. Nothing bad goes past these lips!!! I'm gonna get this fat off for once and for all!!!
PS: The office assistant at my allergist's office wanted to weigh me today. I was too cold to take off layers and shoes and didn't want to weigh. So she asks me "Do you know how much you weigh??" LMBO..... DO I KNOW HOW MUCH I WEIGH!!! I almost lost it. Yep, I sure do....and told her. Her mouth about dropped to the floor as she stared at the number on my chart from last summer. What a great feeling!! She started congratulating me....etc. Now this is a girl who can't gain weight to save her life!! I've always told her I'd give her some of mine. To be fair I haven't been in since October. The black and white numbers were more 'in your face' of my weight loss to her and the doctor than seeing me in person. 46 pounds of ugly, unhealthy fat gone.....I love my www.affordablehcgdiet.com

WHAT is going on??
VLCD Day 17
I was up .2 yesterday after being POP on Sunday....and .2 today. However I know that yesterday I tried a new veggie to see how I'd do. Now......is all this from that cheat on Saturday?? I'm not sure. I'd see bigger increments than .2 I think. TOM isn't for almost 2 weeks and have NO symptoms whatsoever. So we will see what happens tomorrow. I did eat that same veggie again today....if I go up at all I know that veggies isn't for me. Every other veggie I have introduced has not had any effect other than weight loss though. Might have to gear up for an apple day!! In 200 days on my first round I NEVER had to do an apple day.
Very frustrating since I was sick last week and had to deal with gain there. I'm in my third week and have only lost 7 lbs. I can do better than this!! I guess I should really only say it's my second week cause last week was a total loss with that crud I had.
HOWEVER....NOT giving up. I don't have that in me. I'm halfway there and this journey is getting finished!! Me and www.affordablehcgdiet.com the only way to lose weight for me!

Me On HCG and AME (African Mango Extract)
VLCD Day 15
Sorry I missed blogging yesterday.....I was on a 'mission from god' to quote the Blues Brothers!! Ha, actually I began the AME yesterday and as reported by so many the initial dose boosted my energy to new levels and I cleaned house like a mad woman!! Today I also had a lot of energy but not as much as the initial dose.
So.......in 2 days I have lost 5.0 pounds!!!WooHoo!!! 2.8 yesterday morning and 2.2 this morning (this was my first weigh in on AME). I even have to admit that I cheated yesterday....let's just say my favorite cheesecake was involved. I really thought I'd push or gain....but a 2.2 loss!! I'm estatic!! I won't push that luck again!! So now I only have 2.8 lbs to go to get back where I was in November. Stupid illness put me a week behind but it can't be helped.
I am finding on AME I'm not so hungry for lunch.....but about 4:00 I am very hungry. This week on school schedule will be interesting to see how it's curbing my appetite. That is a wonderful feature of AME.....and belly fat loss!! Can't wait to measure in 3 more weeks.
So my new, short term (30 days) goal is to lose 15-20 pounds by March 30.That is 33 days.....my first 30 days on Round 1 I lost 22 pounds. I'm going to be PERFECTLY POP. And I was absolutely POP today. On March 30th my college friend and her husband are going to be here and stay the night with us! We saw them on our trip to the PNW last July so I'm super excited to host them. Of course the wine will be flowing.....meal will actually be pretty legal....and I am planning on making a yummy dessert that I've found on Pinterest. Finding one that I can split in half so I can give half away. That's part of my plan. It's a special indulgence for a friend of over 30 years....I've never had the opportunity to entertain her here. 800 miles is tooooo far away. Then when they leave I am back POP to lose the rest of this weight.
My journey is over the peak and now on the down swing. It has been/ is life changing. Not only am I healthier, happier, and feeling so good, I've met so many wonderful people following the same path and I couldn't do it without their support as well. Oh, and I met some cousins through an hcg friend!! Ones that are from my mama's little town in Lousiana!! How COOL is that?!!!
So a new week...looking for a loss of 5 pounds by next Sunday. I know that with hcg and AME (African mango extract) from www.affordablehcgdiet.com and being POP I can do it with no problem!!

Keeping Strong!!!
VLCD Day 13
So frustrated this morning but I shouldn't have been surprised. I was UP 3 pounds today. You gotta know its from the food I ate when I was sick. Sigh...But I'm NOT giving up. That made my resolve all the stronger to stay on protocol!! I also received my AME (African Mango Extract) drops today. I'm so excited to start those with this program!!!
There's not much else to say today.......drinking water, taking drops, staying POP. Hopefully I'll have better news tomorrow.

Don't Cry for Me!!
VLCD Day 12
I gained 1.6 pounds yesterday and went back up over the border.....but don't cry for me. I was so sick with dizziness because my head was so full of gunk that I ate a nutella muffin with strawberries because it was all I could muster to make. After about 45 minutes I felt a lot better. I'm talking I went and took a shower...something I hadn't been able to do since Monday (yah I know...EWWWWW!). I washed my hair, deforrested, etc!! And I felt ok:) Well when Lou got home we went and picked up the car at the mechanic and went for a slice after that.....and I also had some Sierra Mist (there is something about soda when you are sick). After I ate I had so much energy and this morning there is NO dizziness!! Now I'm not saying that carbs cured my mucus soaked head but something happened. Because of this I'm not feeling bad about going back up. Today I am fairly well, just regaining strength, and am going back to work tomorrow. I am POP today....not even coffee!! And now I can concentrate on being a LOSER and being a healthy me. So be happy I am almost well.....not sad because I'm still dealing with the border. I'm only .8 over it. Hopefully the cheat won't bite me in the hiney for more than today.

Illness and HCG
VLCD day 11
This is the first time I've been really sick while on the hcg program....I'm talking can't stand to cook more than my bacon/egg breakfast. Sinus congestion/chest congestion, it's plagued me my entire life. Well yesterday I ate that breakfast twice, I couldn't do more standing than that. I got in all my water. But later the ice cream craving kicked in and I was oh so dizzy!! I ended up eating a light multi-grain english muffin with some nutella spread and sliced strawberries. Then later Lou went to Q'doba and got food: small cup of tortilla soup (minus tortilla strips) and small steak quesadilla. I only ate half of both. I felt better and also I wanted some leftover in case today I couldn't stand...then I'd have something to reheat. I was really dreading the scale this morning. My first weigh said I was up 1 lb. DANG!! Back over the flippin' border:( I weighed 2 more times (how many of YOU do this!!) and it said NO GAIN. Ok 2 times won. I stayed the same.
I didn't get up till after 10 this morning.....still pretty dizzy. Probably one more day home. I can't even shower (TMI I know....just telling you how bad it is) and without Lou here in case I fall, it'll probably be tonight. And I was so HUNGRY!!! Instead of going all crazy with food....I doubled up the bacon/egg breakfast. Just seems like the smartest choice to make, and sometimes that's what we have to do. Do what we think is best.
I may not/probably won't make my goal of losing the last 3 pounds to get back where I was before I went astray but if I can stay below the dreaded border I will be perfectly happy.

Crossed THAT Border for the Last Time!!!
VLCD Day 10
I did it!!!! Well I did it with www.affordablehcgdiet.com !!! I lost 2.2 pounds yesterday which included the weight I'd gained plus another .4 pounds!! Crossed back under the border and NEVER EVER going over THAT border again!! My next border will cross me into the 40's.....a border I haven't seen since 1990. If anyone had told me that my 50's would be the best and healthiest of my life I would've laughed at them!! But it is true!!!
This is a short blog...I'm really sick with the chest crud today and home from work. Though I'm craving comfort food and have no energy to cook I am not straying from allowed foods. I may only have bacon/egg at meals today but they are on protocol.

I'm so DONE with repeated (same) border crossings!!!!
VLCD R2P2D9: I'm so DONE with repeated (same) border crossings!!!!
It's official: I have Lou's Disneyland chest cold. Yesterday I spent running errands, everything BUT grocery shopping, and when I was done I was tired, run down, and hungry. Made a run to Q'doba......got some soup (not so bad) with a baby quesadilla (ok so that wasn't good) but what killed me was the ice cream later on this itchy scratchy throat. Plus I know I didn't quite get all my water in. Grrrr!! And I didn't eat dinner or my apple. Good news was when we went to the movies....Lou had buttered popcorn and I didn't even touch it!!! Well I'm up 1.8 lbs this morning. Crossed that dang 160 border that I've been jumping back and forth over since November. I am DONE with crossing back into it!! When I get back across (I'd love it to be tomorrow but cheats can hang around....let's say Wednesday for sure) I will never ever cross it again!! I'm a woman on a journey and I'm continuing with it....down, down, down. Once I'm back into fifties land the next border I'm crossing is into the 40's!!!
So you might be asking yourself what my plan is for today: well I've downed over half my minimum requirement for water intake (I'm gonna drown in H20 today!!), I'm getting ready to make breakfast after blogging here, and finally gonna get my butt to the grocery store for the week. I still feel like crap....and need to get this done before my energy is spent. We have our tax appointment today and I want the cooking done before we leave for it.

One Week's Totals!!
VLCD Day 8: One Week's Totals!!
Darn cold!!! Stayed the same weight as yesterday. I didn't eat dinner and took cold meds all day. I know that's what happened because everything else was the same. HOWEVER......in the time I was off www.affordablehcgdiet.com and totally blew it I had gained 9.6 pounds!! In 7 days I lost 6.6 pounds(7.2 total because I lost load weight) and am justt 3 pounds shy of where I was!! How amazing is that??!! On JC, WW, or any other program that'd be like 3-4 weeks of losses! I'd also gained 8 inches back. So happy to report that I lost 6 inches this week!! That's because www.affordablehcgdiet.com release fat from their cells. Drink that water and it flushes it out!! I also noticed that the first week back was much easier than the first week on the program in round 1. I'd been anticipating it being the same. So happy it wasn't!!
So....I have 3 pounds and 2 inches still to lose!! No problem! I have a plan and am following it to a T! I will measure again next Sunday...then back to monthly measures because that's how I do it. I'm planning on surpassing the 3 pounds and 2 inches. Being the second week my losses may slow but I can rock this!!!

VLCD R2P2 Day 7
I'm a LOSER!!! Down 1.8 lbs this morning for a total of 7.2 lbs this week. Tomorrow will be the one week total. I'm even going to measure. Usually just save that for once a month!! Pants are fitting better, body feels better, I feel better about myself!!
Still having problems knowing my body size! I look at things and they seem waaaaay to small and they fit or are too big! When i bought my current fave pair of jeans back in November (this pair is so good I bought a pair to fit me at goal) I remember after washing them the first time. As I was folding them I held them up and OMG they looked so tiny!! I can't wear these! They must've really shrunk I told myself. I put them on later that day...better get the bad news over with quickly I thought to myself....low and behold they fit like a glove!! Iwas estatic! I fit into those tiny pair of jeans!!! Those are my CK size 8's and Im wearing them right this moment!! Can't wait for the size 2's come May/June!!
Off to the movies now with my husband....cut up apples and some almonds are in the oversize purse...just need to put some waters in too!! Bye for now!!

It's Finally Friday!!!
VLCD Day 6........It's Finally Friday!!!
More chocolate on the staff room table.....MnM fun packs. Not so fun but......wasn't tempted today!! Yay!! After water logging myself yesterday I was only down .4.....but I wasn't surprised. I was so full of water that I thought I'd gain!! So I will take a loss. As I said yesterday any loss is that much closer to the skinny new healthy me!! I didn't slam the water down this morning like yesterday......but I've surpassed my minimum intake for today. Thinking I may show a better loss tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!
www.affordablehcgdiet.com has changed my life in so many ways and until I read my friend Jill's blog I'd almost forgotten some of those things that have WOW'd me!
First, there is crossing my legs. Now I am 5'2 and have short stocky legs...I don't care how much I weigh. Wearing boots that come up to my knee is a dream as my calves are big. Nope, didn't play soccer or dance. Just plain heredity from dad (but boy are they cut!!)
When I started this diet their circumference was 18 inches!! Now they are 15 3/4 inches. Ok...back to the point. Crossing my legs meant the leg crossing over pretty much stuck out. NOW.....the top of my leg lays flat across the other leg and my lower leg hangs down all nice and pretty. THAT is a huge thing for me!! I thought it was my short stocky legs. Nope...just my FAT, short, stocky, legs!!!
Second, on Wednesday when I went to my esthescian I practically ran the circular flight of stairs to the second floor. I did it without really thinking about it!!
Ok so you can see little things are improving. Well, may be little to some people but they aren't little to me. I know I've forgotten some things and over the next few days as I look back and reflect I will share more with you.
I hope reading my blog helps you and encourages you. I know reading my LOSER friends blogs really helps me!!

The Chocolate Battle.....
VLCD Day 5!! R2P2D5 with www.affordablehcgdiet.com
THE CHOCOLATE BATTLE.......
Hey everyone!!! I have GREAT news to report today!! Someone put a big ol' heart shaped box full of chocolates in the staff room this morning. No problem...walked right by it several times. BUT.....after school, my weakest most munchiest moment of the the day, found me lifting the lid to that stupid box!!! And seeing that there were only 2 pieces left (yep us teachers are food sucking machines) I decided I should eat 1. Picked it up and.......PUT IT BACK IN THE BOX AND WALKED AWAY!!!! I won the battle!!! Yay me!!! I felt so good walking outta there!! Some of you will understand what a victory that was because you love chocolate the way I do. I know this will be a WAR the rest of my life. But as for today.....I won the battle!!!! Phillipians 4:13- I can do everything through him who gives me strength!!
I only lost .4 lbs yesterday. It's ok though. Every tenth of a pound is ounces I am closer to goal and further from being the obese person I was. I am so thankful for my friend Debi who told me about hcg and MOST IMPORTANTLY www.affordablehcgdiet.com and how it was/is the best program out there. Currently I am in the overweight range for BMI. OMG....that stupid 9.6 lb gain had put me back into the obese catagory!! I just looked that up. Oh so NOT worth it.

I know this will be a WAR the rest of my life. But as for today.....I won the battle!!!! Phillipians 4:13- I can do everything through him who gives me strength!!
I only lost .4 lbs yesterday. It's ok though. Every tenth of a pound is ounces I am closer to goal and further from being the obese person I was. I am so thankful for my friend Debi who told me about hcg and MOST IMPORTANTLY www.affordablehcgdiet.com and how it was/is the best program out there. Currently I am in the overweight range for BMI. OMG....that stupid 9.6 lb gain had put me back into the obese catagory!! I just looked that up. Oh so NOT worth it.
LOSERS....
LET'S ROCK THIS PAR-TAY HCG STYLE!!!!

VLCD Day4!!
I was so excited this morning when I weighed that I practically jumped up and down.....I DEFININATELY was inside!! After the TOM issues yesterday I was sure I wasn't going to lose anything. I LOST 2.2 pounds!!! WhooHoo!!! Down 4.8 lbs in 3 days!! That is what www.affordablehcgdiet.com can do!!
I was so excited that it has me uber motivated today to stay POP and drink a boatload of water. I was walking around on a cloud all day!! I'm getting my SEXY back folks!!!
NOTE: went for my facial today. My gal wanted to know what was up because my pores were very congested (filled with blackheads and crap). She said she hadn't seen my skin like this in months. What did I do differently??? I spent 3 weeks eating crap. The program at www.affordablehcgdiet.com not only helps you lose weight and feel better.....it makes your skin healthy too!!!
Menu today was the same.....dinner though was my ginger garlic beef stirfry. No shiratake noodles....too hungry to soak them!! Even Lou still loves ALL my P2 hcg recipes and he's on P 4!!

VLCD Day 3!!! (Or Round 2 Phase 2 Day 3)
Down another pound this morning for a total of 2.2 pounds. Now that doesn't seem like much to some of you but I've seen a picture of what 1 pound of fat looks like....GNARLY!!!! So gross and I want it all gone from my body...thank you very much!!! And with the help of www.affordablehcgdiet.com I will be there by June 1st!!!
I know some of you may have wondered where my blog was today....well, it was back to work. So from now on my blogs will be made in the evening.
I survived Valentine's Day without eating one single piece of chocolate or anything else!! WooHoo!! I've had a hard time this weekend.....and woke up understanding my food issues the past couple of days (those who know me know about the big plate of chocolate chip cookies my husband brought home from the church youth group's bake sale and I was seeing red). Well...the the reason is TOM. You have to understand I hit 50 back about Thanksgiving. I've had chemically induced cycles since I was a freshman in college due to medical issues. Well the doctor has taken me completely off the pills. And TOM wasn't coming anyway. Finished the last pack on Saturday...he should of been here last Thursday. I woke up to bloating and cramping this morning and it has done nothing but gotten worse. I'm not very hopeful for a loss in the morning but I'm staying true to protocol anyway!! It's the only way to reach my goal!!
Here's what my menu was today:
Breakfast: 1 microwaved piece of bacon and scrambled egg with Tapitio (I love me some hotsauce on my egg!!) I seriously love my breakfast and look forward to it EVERY morning.
Lunch: 1 3.5 oz. grilled chicken breast that was doused in lemon juice and Johnny's Season Salt first.
Garlic stir fry brocolini and some salad with WF bacon ranch dressing. Plus 1 grissini
Snack: 1 apple
Dinner: Pan seared ahi tuna with salad and WF ginger sesame dressing with a grissini. It's like ordering an oriental salad at a restaurant.
Snack: grape juice. I count this as a fruit and it helps keep me regular. I don't have many problems in this area:)
Now one of my fellow LOSER friends said it seems like I eat a lot of the same foods over and over. Well, even not on this program I tend to have food ruts....because I like them!!! I do eat grilled chicken everyday and a lot of ahi tuna. I love them and they work for me!!! I also love ginger garlic beef stirfry, chili, spaghetti with shiratake noodles, halibut, shrimp, salmon (I do well on this but no more than 1-2 times a week).,etc. We love grilling....and we grill lots of veggies too. Hey I lost over 40 lbs doing this and I'm going to continue until I weigh 122 pounds!!! Well, that's my target weight so far.....
So LOSERS and supporters......wish me well and continue your support!! I love all of you!!

Round 2 Phase 2 Day 2!!!
Good Morning!!! Today is Round 2 Phase 2 Day2 on www.affordablehcgdiet.com
I was down 1.2 lbs this morning. Normally after the first day back I'd expect to see a bigger loss but......I got so tired last night. So after we got home from the grocery store....I went to bed and didn't eat dinner. Not a good thing but I was THAT tired. 12.5 hours later I got up!!! Must've needed it!! So today we are ready to rock this day!!!
Oh...did I mention my husband decided to buy a huge plate of chocolate cookies at a bake sale yesterday??? Nope...not one did I touch!! Go Me!!! And a HUGE thank you to ALL my supporters at www.affordablehcgdiet.com for letting me vent about that and helping me say NO WAY to those maggot filled disgusting cookies!!!
12 Noon:
It's grilling day here at the Casa! Getting ready for the week, since today is a school holiday. Cut up chicken breasts into 3.5 oz pieces. Lou gets the 'leftover' pieces since he doesn't have to weigh his anymore!!! Doused them in lemon juice, turned them over and generously sprinkled Johnny's Season Salt onto them. Lou will grill that side first and put the seasoning on the top side so both are covered. I am making asparagus and garlic stirfry broccolini for the week too, as well as some sauteed onions. Will pack this into lunch containers for the week. Cannot even tell you how much easier this makes our lives during the work week.
We will be back at it next weekend. When it's NOT a 3 day weekend our grilling day is Saturday:)

Phase 2 Begins!!!
Round 2 Phase 2 Day1 with www.affordablehcgdiet.com
Well loading in finished...thank you God!!! My total gain for loading was .6. Pretty laughable except I gained 5 lbs last week anyway eating crud. My stomach hurt so bad yesterday it was upset a few times.
Now to get on with the business of healthy eating and losing the rest of this weight.
I think it's very fitting that it's Sunday and I'm getting ready for church. If if wasn't for www.affordablehcgdiet.com and God, I don't know if I could've made it so far......and I know He will get me through the rest of this.
Looking forward to my bacon and egg breakfast!!! Already downed 1 bottle of water too!!

I'm Back!!!
Round 2, Phase 1, Day 1 on www.affordablehcgdiet.com
Ok here's the good, bad, and the ugly (and NOT in that order):
Since Veteran's Day, roughly 3 months ago I have gained 9.6 lbs (roughly half of that has been since Disneyland a week ago...no joke) and 8 inches. No wonder... I feel so awful!!
But....I'm still down 38 lbs and 19.25 inches.
44.2 pounds is my new goal. I want to hit it by June 1st. I know I'm 50 now....however that's only .38 lbs a day. I think that is very manageable.
Now I know I'm "Loading" today and tomorrow. I've been loading all week!! So I'm not pushing this more than I have.
So thankful I have all of my friends at affordablehcgdiet to help me thru this. You all are the BEST!!
I'M GONNA DO THIS AND ROCK THIS ROUND!!! SAYANORA, ADIOS FAT!!!!
Round 2, Phase 1, Day 2 on www.affordablehcgdiet.com
So I only gained .2 yesterday!! LOL That's ok with me. Trust me...I ate enough fat this week....enough to gain 5 lbs.!! Yep I have food issues. This is why I need www.affordablehcgdiet.com and Shea, Jennifer, Heather, and all the LOSERS on our page!!! I need the support we give each other. I tell people that the support is what makes our hcg program the best. Because without it...I know I wouldn't do as well.
Yesterday Lou and I made a date out of my loading. The Yard House Restaurant opened a couple of months ago....we went and ate and drank and had fun sitting at the bar, then went to see Safe House with Denzel Washington and Ryan "humina humina" Reynolds!!!
Today we are taking my momma out to this wonderful Italian restaurant for lunch. She turns 77 on Monday. She has really missed going out to restuarants with us since we had started our weight loss journey. With her eyes and health she doesn't get out much but I am thankful that she is happy that I am getting this weight off.
Ok....tomorrow the real work begins. I am so ready for this. My clothes aren't fitting so well and I do NOT like this rock in my stomach!!!
LET'S GO TEAM HCG!!!!!!
