It's Been Too Long!!

I'll start with where I left off-- I was so excited to see that 186.5!! But somehow (I SWEAR I didn't cheat!) I gained two RIGHT before vacation! I did an apple day and luckily got down to 186.5 again the day we left!!! YAY!!! NOW.... to the rest....

I went on vacation starting 5/27. I left my drops at home, planning on re-loading a week later. I ate all day every day and drank like a fish. When I weighed in on 6/3 I'd gone up nearly 8 lbs!!!! No worries, though, as I knew they'd come off. ... I loaded on Sunday and Monday and gained 1 lb. Today is Wednesday and I lost that pound PLUS another 3.5 already!! Only 3 lbs left to get to my pre-vacation weight of 186.5(which was 20 lbs lighter than my start weight!). Is there anything better than seeing the scale drop??? I'm getting all sorts of compliments and it's all thanks to the support and information from affordablehcgdiet.com!!

Alllllmost there!!

Today I weigh only 186.5!! Down 18.5 pounds in 23 days!!! I have one more week to lose the extra pound and a half to make it to my goal of 20 lbs by FLORIDA!!! So now my goal will be.... (drumroll please!)... 25 lbs gone by Friday!! I can't hide my excitement at my losses!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU affordablehcgdiet.com!! What sets this site apart from the others is the phenomenal support from Shea, Jennifer, Heather and ALL the other losers! The tips, advice, and encouragment make this diet EASY!!! They really are like family. They've seen me through some big lows and HUGE HIGHS!! Thanks so much fellow losers!! You are the biggest factor in my weight loss!!

Tape Measure Came Out Today!!

I lost 2.5 last night, for a total of 16 pounds in 21 days (thanks to affordablehcgdiet.com!). Yes, it should have been more. But I also cheated a few times and had the TOM in there. So I have to lose 4 pounds in a week to reach my goal of 20 pounds gone before I leave for Florida!! This nice big loss this morning was exactly what I needed to get the confidence up to do a measurement. Sooo... here it goes!!

Thigh-- 23.5
Hips-- 41
Navel waist (yes, this is a new one, but I'll just start here)-- 38.5
Waist-- 33.5
Bust-- 39

Now I'm going to go back and see if I've lost inches. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

A New Day, A New Attitude!!!!

So I got over yesterday's disappointment and am REALLY EXCITED for this-- even with my TOM being here, I was down .5 this morning!!! Down 11.5 pounds, as I am now 193.5!! And best of all? Down 4.5 inches in my hips, three inches in my waist, two inches in my bust, and one inch in my thighs in less than two weeks!!!

Hips-- 42.5
Waist-- 34
Bust-- 39
Thigh-- 23

WHAT!?!? Impossible, you say? Not with affordablehcgdiet.com! It's amazing and the support from their facebook page is tremendous. A "thank you" is inadequate for what they've done for me. I planted flowers yesterday, and since I only had two pairs of jeans that fit, I didn't want to ruin them with grass stains. So I dug out old pairs that were too small... and they fit. The butt even sagged!!! THANK YOU AFFORDABLEHCGDIET.COM!!! THANK YOU!!!

Very Discouraged

Well, I'm due for a long update, so bear with me. Thursday was my oldest daughter's preschool graduation. I had to bring bars, so I picked up donut holes (and ate 3). Then my daughter didn't wand her piece of bread with peanut butter, so I ate that. Then I had two bars with a glass of punch. Let me tell you, I was miserable that night!!! The uncomfortable fullness was very difficult to get through. But I haven't strayed since then. Friday I stalled, Saturday I was up 1.5 pounds,Sunday I was down one pound, and today I'm up half a pound. I didn't even cheat yesterday for Mother's Day! Needless to say, I'm really down in the dumps. My 4 year old made me a handprint flower pot in preschool for Mother's Day, but other than that? Nothing. No flowers, no clean house, no cards, nothing. Coupled with my gains, I'm really down in the dumps and close to giving up. I'm disappointed in myself for cheating, disappointed in the hcg for not showing me results after being SO CAREFUL for 3 days, and disappointed in my husband for showing no initiative for Mother's Day. And I want to mention that for Valentine's Day he asked me at 5 p.m. where I wanted to go for dinner. That left me an hour to find a babysitter, feed the girls, and get ready for dinner. Not possible. Then for my birthday I got a card from my daughters. Now I get nothing for Mother's Day but weight problems. Maybe it's the hormones from being on my TOM, but I'm feeling really fed up with it all....

Is There Ever Enough Time In The Day???

Today I was only down half a pound, and I know why. I haven't had time to eat my fruits. Any of them. I really needed to get to the store, but with sorting and delivering Scentsy, taking my daughter to school, taking my other daughter to daycare, and working my full time job it's been impossible. So today I'm up and ready froth work two hours before I need to be there. Hopefully the girls will wake up so I can get them to daycare early and get to the store. Before this diet from affordablehcgdiet.com, I never would have thought it'd be possible to eat LESS than 500 calories a day! But wow! The hunger is completely gone other than before lunch and dinner! And on a side note, I haven't tried Melba toast or grissini sticks, so I gave in to my Carb craving and had 17 Cheerios. New day, new goal of not cheating. Dang it.
