R2 P2 D41

Life is still happening here in HCGville. Still plugging along. It is hard to think soon I will be in P3. Where does the time go? So far in this round I have lost 32lbs. Not too bad. I have only 6 more lbs until "ONEderland". Can't wait for this one. I am still doing good with energy. No cravings. Last week I made cinnamon rolls and this week I made over 100 chocolate chip cookies. Let me tell you, no cravings. Not one! I don't have to try to hold myself back from licking my fingers or taking a small bite (no one would know). I have gone out to eat at a Chinese restaurant and did not even care that I was not eating with them. I knew that I was loosing weight. I think for the first time in my life, I finally felt that loosing weight was more important that food.
I have had several people lately talk to my about the HCG way and as I talk to them, you know those who are serious about it and those who are not. I wish those who are not serious would not do HCG as this would do more harm than anything. HCG is a great way to loose weight yet people need to follow protocol 100%. I love HCG.
Happy releases everyone.

Almost done with Phase 2

I can't believe how fast time is going. I am on R2 P2 D37. I only have two more weeks left. I am hoping that I will make it into the wonderful "ONEderland". This is my goal. My weight has been up and down, stable anything but going down each day. Yesterday TOM made an unexpected arrival and to day I was down 1.2 lbs. Usually Tuesdays are my weight loss days (as after I get up at 5am, I go back to bed at 7 for a few more hours and I loose about a pound), yet tomorrow I won't be able to keep that as I have company coming over at 9a.m. But there is no school (for us seminary) Thursday and Friday, so those are sleep in days. So, I am hoping that I can release at less two more pounds by Sat. Today I was at 208.8 which means I only have 9 pounds to go until I reach ONEderland.
Saturday night I was going through my closet trying to figure out what to wear to church the next day and found so many of my clothes are way too big. Soon I will have a bare closet. This is way, way better than having to get rid of my cloths because they are too small. At church I got a couple of complements. They help so much to stay on track as you realize that people really are noticing the new you coming out. I feel like I am peeling away an onion. Sometimes I can peel fast and some times it takes more time as I have to step back until my eyes stop watering. This round is a slower peeling yet I am still peeling.
OK, I think I am rambling. I really need to go to bed if I want to loose any kind of ounce.
May you all have Happy Releases.
Until next time.

Before and During Picture

I decide to finally include a before and during picture. I HATE (yes, I know that it's a strong word yet this is how I feel) having pictures taken of me, because of my weight and also because of my skin (I have vitiligo, or as I call it "The Michael Jackson disease").
I did not expect this picture to be so small so I will let you know what it says below.

Before: July 2010 ..................................During: Oct 2010
................Wt: 268 ..............................................Wt: 211
...............Pant size: 22 ......................................Pant size: 16
Still have a long way to go. I am almost half way to my goal.
To all who is reading this. HCG IS the answer. I can't believe how good I feel. I still have a long way to go yet I can finally see me as a skinny, healthy person in a new body. I can't wait yet I am enjoying the steps I am taking.
If you have any questions, I would gladly answer them.
Here is to more Happy Releases and today I released 2 lbs!!!

This was sent to one of the members on a E-mail group I belong too. Thought it had great timing.

Here is what she said about don't loosing weight in P2.

This is how it works, you lose pounds and then we cycle through the Inches part when our skin needs time to heal around the muscle where the fat and water has been released. I would cycle every few weeks lose for 10-14 days then shrink for 3-4 days and so on. This is normal, you will not lose consistantly each day, it is an average of losses over the duration of your round. Trust us, you are losing inches and your skin is reshaping, did you take measurements when you started?
> This is the largest complaint other than complaints of hunger during the detoxing portion and they are both normal and how it works.
> You are fine, just know this is part of the plan. I now it doesnt make you feel any better as some really need to see the scale move but for me it didnt matter what the scale said if I couldnt see it on my body, I am visual and when I had the no pounds lost days I could SEE my body shrinking and that was way more important to me!!!! Loved my shrinking days as I would take a detox bath and wake up and see I was smaller!!!!
> Keep us posted, REmember the name of the Protocol is Pounds and INCHES!!! Its those Inches that matter most!!!


We just need to remember this.

R2 P2 D26

Where has the time gone? I can't believe I am halfway through this round. This is an interesting round for me. Much highs and not too many lows. My weight has been fluctuating between a couple of numbers and I just can't shake them. I am wanting to at least get into "onederland" by the end of this round. It seems possible as I only have about 15lbs left to loose yet with this fluctuation, who knows. I don't want to call it a stall as the scale is moving just up some days and down the next. I know lots of people have said on their Round 2 they loose more inches than weight. I have not taken my measurements since I started this round...maybe I should. I am a pants size down, so that is good. I know to keep doing what I am doing. My body will soon kick it back into gear. I could drink some more and get more sleep...I am sure that would help also. For all of you who are stalled, gaining or fluctuating as I am, just keep on following the protocol and soon your weight will start to go down again. We can't see the inside of our bodies and all that it is doing. I'm sure at this stage our body's are doing some important work in order for us to keep this weight off. Trust in your body and keep following the plan.
Everyone have Happy Releases, Maintenance and Stabilization days.

Big News

OK, I knew today would be the day!!! My big news is this:

I have released 51 lbs in 3 months!!! I am so excited. OK, I still have a long way to go, yet still that is 51 lbs. Now I can count in tens... 60, 70 80 etc. These will be BIG numbers.
The funny thing is, I got up this morning as I always do, around 5am and weighed in. I released 6ozs. I made my 50 yet after 2 hours I decided to go back to bed. I slept for 4 hours and when I got up again and weighed I released another 1.2lbs so a total of 1.8 lbs today. If only I can sleep that long every day, I would be skinny in no time. hahaha
I am not sure if I will have a mini celebration now or wait until 60 lbs. OK, I think I will do it now. Let's go to the store and find something cute for me to wear.

Again, whether you are releasing pounds at a time or just ozs, remember you are still releasing. Your body knows what is best. If you stall, realize you are probably releasing inches, which we want also. So, stay strict on the protocol and know what you are doing is great. Your body will think you.
Let's all have a Happy Release, Happy Stabilization and Happy Maintenance day today.

Quick Update

This is going to be very quick as I am late for bed. Remember, I need my sleep in order to loose well.
Today is R2 P2 D16. OK, I released yet I can't remember how much. It was small though...thinking around 2 or 4 ozs. For me, anything is great. As long as I am going DOWN! I love when my clothes start getting big on me. Thank goodness I have so many different sizes in my closet. It's like going shopping. I am running out of food and need to get some more tomorrow. I also need to get some more Chocolate/Raspberry stevia.

Here is a great recipe for those cold nights.

About:
1 dropperful of Chocolate/Raspberry stevia
1 dropperful of Peppermint stevia
in a mug of Hot water. Sit back, close your eyes and enjoy your Hot Chocolate.

Well off to bed. I am hoping that I have great news for you tomorrow.
Here's to all the Great Releases, Wonderful Stabilizations and Super Maintenance.

What Crazy Times

Today is R2 P2 D15. Yesterday when I weighed myself I gained 4 ozs. Was not too excited yet was not too shocked. I ate really good and drank most of my water yet I know it was because I only had 3 hours of sleep. I know if I would of been able to go back to bed, then I would of lost more. Oh well, this will just take a little longer.
Today I got just a tiny more amount of sleep and I lost 6 ozs. So I am down 2 ozs from yesterday. I just need to get to bed earlier since I get up so early. I don't like that because I home school, so my kids are always with me and the only down time I have is at night when they are in bed. I guess for loosing weight I need to loose some "ME" time also. Such sacrifices. Well, off to bed I go. We shall see if going to bed this early will help me loose.

Happy Releases, Happy Stabilization and Happy Maintenance everyone.

I Love Sleep

Today is R2 P2 D (oh, let me look), D 13. Since the beginning of this round I have released 18lbs. Can I say, not bad???
This morning I got up after 4 hours of sleep (I know...I am just a night owl). I weighed myself as always and was up 2ozs. I figured as I ate dinner late last night and did not drink all my water. Acouple of hours later I decided to go back to bed and slept for 3 hours and when I got up again, I weighed myself and I released a pound. Not too bad for doing nothing but sleeping, right?
Today has been a good and busy day. I have lately been having for one of my meals apple pie. I cut up an apple and place it in a bowl with cinnamon and a package of stevia powder and zap in for 1 min 45 sec. Boy is it yummy. I don't miss apple pie at all as this taste just like it, minus the crust. So, there is your recipe for tonight...Apple Pie. Enjoy as I sure did today.
