I am about to lose it, evidently not literally though. I was doing so well and losing about a pound a day but now since Saturday I have been stuck at 170.5. That is 5 days! I did the apple day which worked last time but no such luck this time.
I decided I am just going to keep following the diet to the T and no cheating or working out and see what happens by Friday. I will not weigh myself again until Friday morning and hopefully I've made atleast a little progress since today by then. I don't know if I can stick to this strict diet if I am not seeing the results. I am upp-ing the water intake as well.
Breakfast: Rice cake and an apple
Lunch: Turkey lunch meat and asparagus
Dinner: Chicken and mixed grilled veggies
On a happier side note, I may be getting a promotion at work. They have an opening at our Ft. Collins office that seems perfect for me. I am doing a phone interview with the boss man today and then maybe driving up there at the end of the week or beginning of next. It'd be a nice raise but I would have to move up there because the winters get bad and the travel might be impossible. Maybe it won't be so bad? Ft. Collins is a college town so maybe it will be easier to meet friends than it has been here. *crossing fingers*
Wish me luck!

Ugg yet another apple day :(
So my weekend on the diet was not so great. I didn't really cheat per say but I did not take in enough water or eat at my regular times...I think this hurt me. After my last apple day I went down to 170.5 and for the past 2 days I've been stuck there. So here I come apple day again!
Over the weekend I made chocolate chip cookie dough...yes dough...not the cookies. I ate about 4 spoon fulls and then froze the rest. I hope this does not become a problem because I love cookie dough but so far so good.
Symptoms: I've been noticing that my teeth hurt :*( Not sure if this is from the diet or my retainers (from after braces) but they are really sore when I chew. It's just the top row, which is the one that moves the most when I forget my retainers so I am not too worried but if my teeth fall out I swear I will hurt someone.

HCG Day 5
Hello! Sorry i missed a few days but I got busy with work. So as of Day 4, I was 172pounds and as of today (Day 5) I am the same. This means I am supposed to do the apple day. The apple day consists of eating 6 apples throughout the day and then for dinner you eat as big of a steak as you would like. You continue to take the drops as well. I have a feeling I might be starving but I am hoping the drops will curve it enough that I am fine.
Yesterday, we had a company potluck at work and I think that is where I went wrong. I just had literally a taste of a few things and a few chips but that was it. I guess grazing is not a part of this diet. I did the stairmaster for 15 minutes last night to burn some of it off but I guess it just kept me at the same.
On Wednesday I did lose 1.5 pounds though so maybe that is a part of the slowing weight loss as well.
I've been noticing that I have to burp a few times after I take the drops...not sure why. The drops to me taste like a sweetened vodka...kind of a alcohol taste but not too bad.
Have a great day!

HCG Day 2
Hello All!
Im on Day 2 of the HCG drops and I feel pretty good. Not as hungry this morning as I was yesterday. I upped my breakfast though so I think that helped.
Breakfast: Rice Cake & Apple
Snack: Orange
Lunch: Turkey burger and asparagus
Dinner: Veggies & Tilapia
I have noticed that I feel like I have more energy almost immediately from this diet which is great! I have also been having random twiches in my arm, neck and eye. I was having arm twiches before I started the diet so not sure of the cause.
Positives: A week before I started the diet I weighed 183 pounds. Today when I weighed myself I was at 174.5 I don't think I've actually lost almost 10 pounds in the last couple days but I am definitely down from where I was! Yay!

HCG Diet
Hello All,
It has been a long while since I have updated on here. I am currently working in DTC at a great job with a internet company. Good people and the job is easy enough. Only problem...there is ALWAYS food around. I have gained 8 pounds in one month and I am already about 13 pounds heavier than when I went to Vegas in April. This is sick and sad. My clothes do not fit anymore and I feel tired all the time. This is why I have decided to try the HCG Diet Drops.
I have a couple close friends that have done the drops with a lot of success. One friend lost 25 pounds in 40 days on the diet. My goal is to be able to do 21 days (3 weeks) and see from there where I am and how much more I want to lose. My weight loss goal for this diet is 15 pounds. That would put me at 168. I don't think I have been below 170 in over a year. I'd love to lose more but I do not want to have unattainable goals.
The plan:
You do 2 loading days were you take the drops 30 minutes before each meal and eat as much fatty junk you want. The idea behind this is that it takes the HCG 2-3 days to get into your system and it will curve your appetite for the days to come.
After your 2 loading days you start with the 500 calorie a day diet. This seems really strict and not enough to me so I am shooting for about 650 calories that way I can work out while on this diet as well. You take the drops 30 minutes before eating 3 times a day for 3 weeks while you eat the restricted diet. The diet says no sugars, starches, and fats. I am sad about this because I love avacado (healthy fat) and sugary treats. I think it will help me to kick my addiction of sweets and carbs though so I have positive thoughts.
After your 3 weeks of the limited calories you stop taking the drops and continue with the diet plan for 3 days. After that can eat more things but still no starches or sugar for 3 weeks.
I will document my weight loss as well as any symptoms I experience. Today is the start of my three weeks on the limited calorie diet. I did my two "loading" day previously and ate cookies and drank soda lol.
Positives: Weight loss, re-starts your metabolism, supposed to eat away at the fat, quick results, etc.
Tips: Take an asprin a day to prevent blood clots, eat a bit more greens to curve the hunger, drinks a lot of water, take in a few more calories in order to work out while on the diet so you don't lose muscle mass.
Wish me luck!
