Week 2 begins

Today marks the beginning of week 2 of round 2 of my HCG diet.  I'm ready to be to the stage where I don't crave random foods.  Maybe today will start that time.

I still love my coffee though!  And honestly, not having cream in it isn't a big deal.  Thank goodness for Splenda though!  The first round I was using Stevia, and the after taste of the packets is just blah!  We had picked up a liquid version of it that was vanilla flavored which wasn't bad, but it was so expensive!  From everything I read on the internet, it appears that Splenda would work for the diet and it seems to be working fine.

Today's weight: 261.6 lbs


For those keeping track, that means I have officially lost a total of 50 lbs as of this morning!  My next major goal is getting down to 250 lbs.  My final goal for this round is to hit the 220 - 225lb range.

Stop the cravings!

Today is the last day of week one. I have to admit I've had lots of mental cravings.  It doesn't help that David isn't doing the diet this round and I see him eating potato chips, ice cream, etc etc.

Part of me is like... curse you, my wonderful husband!  And the other part of me is like... *sigh*  I can do without because the final result is worth it.

Oddly enough, I have had some "very slight" feelings of being actually hungry off and on but nothing that made me miserable or feel like I really had to eat.  Any time I get a slight feeling of hunger, I just drink more liquids.

Today's weight: 262.8 lbs


Well on my way to hitting my goal!

Feeling so much better!

I've been on the Very Low Calorie Diet now for 2 complete days and today starts day 3 and I have reached my "pre-loading" weight again.  I'm totally stoked about that!

Loading weight: 274.4 lbs.

Today's weight: 267.2 lbs. 


Coming up in May, I have my on-site interview with KPMG for an internship.  Because of that, my plan is to continue on HCG for 30 or 31 days so that the timing allows me to eat completely normally on the days of my interviews.  It's a two day interview process so there will be meals and the last thing I want to worry about is not being able to eat normally.  The good news is I should be so much slimmer when it comes time for my interviews! woohoo!

I'm feeling a little hungry

Today was the first day of the very low calorie diet.  I totally don't mind the limited food ingredients.  But I have to admit I've been feeling a little hungry this evening.  It's probably cause I ate dinner at 5pm because I have night class.  Hopefully I can figure out a way to eat a little later so I don't get hungry before bed.  Well that and hopefully the HCG will fully get into my system and I won't be hungry anyway.

For those that don't recall, my last weight at the end of the first round was 267.2 lbs.  After two days of eating lots of fattening foods and being on the HCG this phase my weight was 274.4 lbs.  This is to be expected of course so I'm not worried.

I look forward to dropping it all off really quickly!

Today I started Round 2 of taking HCG

Well, I didn't get around to mixing up the HCG before this morning.  So I didn't start the next round of the diet on Friday or Saturday like I had originally planned.  But it's all good.  I started today.

That means Tuesday I will start the Very Low Calorie Diet again.  I think it will be quite refreshing!

About to start my second round of the HCG

I know I know.  I haven't posted in ages.  So the time has come.  I start the HCG diet again tomorrow.  The really awesome part... 2 days full of eating fatty delicious food!

I've done well with not putting weight back on since being off of HCG.  We just got back from Spring Break in Washington DC and we ate so much food!  But thankfully I weighed very close to my last weight.  And it was late afternoon, after eating and drinking all day, so a little variation is normal.

Anyhow, I will be good about posting going forward.  The journey of the diet is important!

PS.  I don't think David is doing the diet this time around but who knows, he might change his mind.
