Day 1. 204

So I should have told you guys this, but I was busy at work this weekend. I stopped taking HCG because it seemed to have lost its effect. (Again, I believe I become immune early.)

So I did 2 days of VLCD and now am back on a no starch or sugar.

Ate an omlete.

Doing well.

Enjoying Diet Coke.

Day 35---- Again

So for those of you who keep up, you might remember that last round of HCG, I stalled out earlier than I should of and had to stop early. I think I'm there. It's been 5 days since my last post, and I have gained 2 pounds, then lost 3. I've been having problems with my shoulders (stress related?) and put some Icy Hot on them the other day. Icy Hot is just a bunch of oil, and the day after I used it, I gained 2 pounds. I should be losing weight faster than this, but I think I become immune faster than I should.

Today- 205. I was really upset about this, then my mom reminded me that I am two-oh-something. I can't let the little sad parts diminish the huge success I've had.


 I can't tell you how many people have said to me, "you were not 270 pounds!" Actually... yeah... I get into full blown arguments about it. I'm glad I carried my weight well, but I'm happier that it's going... going... gone.

Day 30- again

12 days left. 206 lbs.

12 days to lose 6 pounds... that's exciting.

Day 29- 207

Getting towards the end again. 13 days of the very low calorie diet left. 11 days of HCG drops left. I REALLY REALLY want to lose the last 7 pounds. I can't believe how close I am.

I tried on a pair of jeans at WalMart last night. They were 16 misses. I could button them, but the length from the crotch to the waist did not cover my bum. Kind of depressing, but I guess I'm always gonna have that problem. When I was 15- a lady at Old Navy  told me to buy a pair bigger than I needed so my buttcrack wouldn't hang out.

Rachel say's the first fat to put on is the last to go. It's hard for me to think of the shape of my bum as "the first fat put on."

The wonderful internet says I'm still "morbidly obese" at a BMI of 35.5

Ticker Time

Day 22 again

213. I guess I am getting to the part where I don't lose as much as I used to (as fast as I used to). I think that means there isn't so much to lose. I was kind of hoping I'd be below 210 by now, but I'm hanging in there. I want you all to know that I HAVE NOT cheated. I haven't done anything to cause my weight loss to slow (unless I didn't take enough time off the HCG, but I took the suggested amount of time off). I also started my period, so that could have a role in this. (Keithan- don't know if you plan on reading this, but if so- Sorry about the girl talk, but it's kind of necessary when it affects a change in weight loss.)

For the past week or so, I've only lost a pound every two days... but it's a steady pound every two days. I'm not thrilled about that, but it's still more than I could expect to lose on most diets, and it's still working, just at a slower rate. I probably should have expected this, but I didn't. Even if it's permanent, I'm sticking with this. I still have about 20 days left and that's a solid 10 more pounds (except that 6 of those days I'll be on my period and not lose so much).

It's easy to get down about not losing what you expect to... but that's what my ticker is for. I was up to two hundred and seventy pounds at one point. I have lost a total of 57 pounds. That's a major accomplishment- no matter what... and I'm still not done.



Slow and steady wins the race.

Day... er... 16?

216. Getting freaky close to under 200. Of course, I'm gonna be so stoked about 209 that I'll probably cry. Of course, there is something about every 10lb mark that is incredibly exciting.

P.S. The scale is in the middle of my ticker. Kinda awesome.
