Steady

Last night we had quite the storm! We ended up with no electricity for about 5 or 6 hours! Luckily, it was bring a cool front in and it wasn't to unbearable in the house. I have been steady this weekend. No gain, no loss! I am planing to keep going for the 43 day round because on the 20th we are going on vacation and I want to be on the atkins part. Well I guess that's it for today. Got to go make some dinner for the family.

Friday June 27 180.0!!

Well, I'm happy to be 180 but I'm ready to get below it! This has been a stressful week and the weight is going off very slowly. At least it is going! Not much else to say today. Ya'll have a good weekend I'll try to update more!

Tuesday 24th

Well I weighted on a different scale and it was two pounds more than the last one. I just have to start there now and go with it. I weighed 184 and today I weigh 182 so that's a nice 2 pound loss!
Today my youngest had to get her wisdom teeth out! That is so stressful! I hate seeing my kids get knocked out! Then as I was waiting for her to get out I had an appointment to see about my older daughter with diabetes/down's get hers out. As they were wheeling out one the other was crashing.(Very low blood sugar) Thank goodness my mother had come to sit with me! She was able to watch one and get her some food while I watched the other one!
Hopefully tomorrow will be easier! Take care!

Sunday June 22

Well I have been very busy lately! I am trying to get a pool set up and my children have dental appointments and I bought a scooter that I am trying to learn to ride. I am going to have to get a motorcycle endorsement on my license so I have to get really good at it. I didn't weigh one day because we had to leave so early and then the next day the scales went crazy! I don't know how much I weigh right now! I got on the scale and it said I had lost 6 pounds in 2 days! I'm like NO WAY! So I get on it again and it says I gained a pound! I do this many more times and it went from 6 to 3 loss to 1 pound gain!! I don't know what to think so now I don't trust it! I guess I will have to use a different scale and start at whatever it says I am tomorrow and track how much is lost on that weight!
Hope everyone is doing well and losing the weight or maintaining. Until later......

Busy day!

I'm to tired to write today! Been doing alot of manual labor. I loss .6 of a pound and I'm at 182! More later!

Day17 6/18

182.6 YES!! I'm going down again at .8 of a pound! That's 11.8 pounds in 17 days not 1 pound a day but over a half pound A DAY! Some diets tell you if you lose 1/2 to a pound a week it's great! Not when you have 100 pounds to lose! You just get so discouraged on that type diet. Especially when you can cheat and gain 3 pounds in a day! I am very happy on this plan! The only thing I hate is the choice of vegetables! I hate eating them now, sometimes I don't eat any at all in a day! I try not to do that because they are good for you but....yuck!
That's it for today!

Apple day SUCCESS!!

Got on the scales this morning and I was down 2.4 lbs.! That brings me to 183.4 and that's all the weight I regained plus a little! I hope that means I will continue to lose again tomorrow. I wasn't at all hungry yesterday but this morning I was starving! I think I forgot to take my shot! Then I took some vitamins and it made me sick to my stomach. I ate an orange then I ate a little chicken and finally I felt better. I ate lunch and dinner as usual but not as much protein to make up for the chicken I ate this morning.
Yesterday I bought a mini trampoline to use at the house. Boy it is hard to do. My legs get like jello and I have only tried to bounce for a couple of minutes at a time. The doctor said I need to diet and exercise to lower my cholesterol so I'm trying. I get rechecked the 1st week of July so we'll see! I've definitely loss more weight. My sister told me that this "diet" releases the fat into the blood so I may get a higher reading because of that. If I do I guess I will have to fess up to the doctor about this diet and have them wait until I'm off of it to recheck. I don't think it was so high that I needed meds. so maybe it will be ok this time.
Thanks for reading and the comments. Until tomorrow, have a blessed day!

Apple day

Well, I gained .4 more pounds this morning, I guess the going out to eat wasn't through with me yet. I'm at 185.8 this morning and I am doing an apple day. It is amazing how easy it can be. I have had 3 little apples today and mostly that is because I feel that I need to eat something! I'm not hungry and that blows my mind. My sister and I talked about this once. She and I both have physical symptoms on other low cal. diets that come with the hunger. I know that this medicine is getting rid of or making use of the fat in my body, because I do not get those symptoms! I know it can't just be taking the hunger pains away because I have used appetite suppressants but I would still get physically ill if I didn't get enough to eat! I feel great on this protocol with only 3 apples in me at 6 at night. I hope I will see a loss tomorrow and again start that downward march of numbers! Until tomorrow, if the blog site allows!

Weekends!!

Well I didn't get the daily blog in! Sometimes I don't even sit down close to a computer during the weekend. I'm hardly at home! Saturday I had to get started early by taking my daughter to the dentist. That was at 8:45 and that means leaving at 8 to get there. I always do my shopping on Saturday with my sister and we go to the movies, bookstores, or whatever either of us takes a fancy to doing. We often don't come back home until 10 at night. By then I'm ready to lay down! I had a 10 dollar off coupon at Penny's so I went and got a new summer outfit. It has been so much more fun to get clothes since I have lost weight but mainly the INCHES. My shape has changed so much! I love it. I had been on a Plataea but I guess eating out this weekend has been a mistake! I have gained 1.4 pounds!!! I ate the things I should have but I guess the additives the restaurants have on the food was not diet friendly! Tomorrow I am going to do an apple day and see if that will take off the extra weight and hopefully start the losing spree again! Hope everyone had a great Father's Day! Thanks for reading and adding comments, they are always welcome. Have a great week and I'll keep ya posted! :)

Day 11 VLCD

Well I got a call today asking that I post everyday if I can. I'm going to try but that really is hard. I stay busy and sometimes the computer just doesn't cooperate! I didn't gain today but I didn't lose either. I got my lab results back from my doctor today and they say my cholesterol is elevated but diet and exercise should get it down. They want me back in a month to recheck. I'm thinking I was on the heavy protein diet and that might not have been the best time to check. Well in a month I will be on this LC part and I will have only have eaten low fat meats and vegetables. I guess I'll really get to see how the different parts work together. I also wonder if they will question the very quick weight loss. I started this diet the very next day after my visit. I was only going to do the 23 day diet but I may go for the longer one so I don't change my diet on them. Well that's it for today. I hope tomorrow will bring a loss and I'm not at a plateau. Thanks for reading!

Days 9 and 10

Well I did pay for that cheat! I gained .2 of a pound but then I lost .6 again. So my 10 day total is 10.6 pounds. I am starting to slow down so I am going to have to be much more diligent in watching what I eat. I haven't been sleeping well lately. I have had air conditioner problems and my daughter has been having some medical problems that have kept me up. I can't sleep when I'm hot and worried. I know that isn't good for me either. Well I will keep you updated in a couple of days. I guess I'll see if I have long term effects from that cheat or the stress! Thanks for reading! Good night and good luck!

10.2 # in 8 days!!

Well it's been a busy and stressful weekend! My really good friend got married and although I had a couple of jobs at the wedding things went a little crazy. I ended up having to(not minding at all) do alot more. It was so hot and I was there for hours so I ended up drinking the frozen punch even though I knew it was a bad idea. I was happy to actually see a loss the next day or .2. I guess because I was working hard and really getting dehydrated that it didn't stop my loss all the way. I am down 10.2 pounds in 8 days and at 184.4. Today I had some really stressful things going on and I eat when I'm stressed! I ate two little cookies so fast I really didn't even remember the taste! Then I got even more angry and depressed with myself! I may not see a loss tomorrow. I have to start trying to replace that impulse to eat sweet things when I'm stressed with a more healthy habit. I have gotten better about it and this it the 1st time I've done that in a long while. It was just so many things going on at once! I just tried to let it go and get right back of the protocol! I ate really light tonight with shrimp and vegetables and I will skip my fruit tonight. I will just except the consequences tomorrow or the next day! I have been very please with my results this time and I generally have found it easier not working while on the VLCD I guess I'm not tempted by all the people and smells that were at school. I can really control my environment! I will have to face all that soon, but if I can loss 25 or 30 pounds before I do I feel like I will be in more of a habit with my eating at least I hope! Well that's all for now. Good luck everyone and keep trying everyday!

5 days and 8.6 pounds gone!

I'm down to 186 so I'm finally below my lowest of low weights! I haven't written since day 2 and on day 3 I lost 1.2 pounds. On day 3 I woke up and I felt HEAVY! I just felt terrible. I drank some water and waited until I went to the restroom 2 times before I would weigh. I did lose but only .4 of a pound. I thought oh no it's going to stop on me again. But I looked at the day before to see what might be doing this to me. I didn't drink much that day because I had a lot of places to go and I had eaten an apple with salt, z-sweet, and cinnamon. I think the combination or to little water and to much salt did it to me. So I worked really hard yesterday to drink all day and I switched to eating boiled shrimp, cabbage, and apples plain. This morning I saw my second best weight loss of 2 whole pounds! I am so excited! This is the first time I have written everything I put in my mouth down. I really think it is helping me to not cheat by even getting to much of my protein. Sometimes I would just guess how much the meat weighted and I think I may have eaten to much and I learned I can't be trusted with Melba toast! I will eat to many a day if I don't keep record. I have actually decided not to eat anymore! My last box is gone and I'm not buying any more. I also do have trouble drinking enough and I think it makes a big difference. I hope I have jinxed myself by bragging but I'm ready to get on that scale again tomorrow!
Good luck everyone and have a happy day!

VLCD day 2 R3

Good evening everyone! Well on day 2 I am happy to say I have lost 1.2 pounds and I am again under the 190 mark. I was starving this morning! I fell asleep last night before I took my HCG. I just drank some water and went back to sleep. Later I ate an orange for a snack. For lunch I had chopped cucumbers and chicken. For dinner tonight I had chicken and grilled red peppers. I hope tomorrow will see another gain. I'm a little afraid to believe it will come. The first week usually goes alright for me but it's the next few weeks that bad things start to happen. I am going to try to keep a positive outlook and if I gain or stop losing I'm going to just keep on dieting and believe it will get better! Well I need to worry about today only and not start what ifing! Good night everyone!

VLCD day 1 round 3

After loading 2 days I am starting at a weight of 194.6. After the 1st day on VLCD I have lost 3.8 pounds, so I'm at 190.8. I'm very happy with that, I hope it will continue.
I went for my physical today and I had to fast to get the blood work done. I ended up getting out of there at 12:30 and I was really light headed. I decided to eat a grilled chicken salad with an unsweetened tea. I was on the run to go get my daughter while eating and I forgot to check the tea before I left. Of Course it was sweet. I had to drink some just to keep from choking, but I tried to only drink a little. I guess that is why you need to be prepared when you go out. I thought I would be home long before that. I will be so upset if I don't lose tomorrow!
Yesterday I forgot to eat my fruits. I haven't been hungry at all. I wasn't hungry for lunch today but felt like I might pass out and didn't want to do that while driving. I have been eating grilled chicken so far and yesterday I had salad and for dinner I had grilled asparagus. Very satisfying! I guess that's why I forgot the fruit. I did eat fruit today I had an apple with apple pie spice on it and z-sweet. I have been drinking lots of water and tea. I had to get up several times during the night. I will be happy when my body gets use to the extra fluids.
Well, I'll let ya'll know what happens tomorrow with the weight lose. Thanks for reading!
