I'm Back... After trying the HCG diet and starving myself.. yeah not so much for me...I wasn't hungry on the diet, however, I didn't feel it was safe for my body to only eat 500 calories a day.

I decided to get my life back on the beach, the south beach diet that is.

I started yesterday, March 1st. So On March 15th, I will start P2, and I did this diet last year, and about this time last year, I was the lowest weight I had been in 10 years. I want to loose weight and get to a reasonible weight and maintain, before hubby and I would try and have another baby. I do not want to gain that much weight again and not be have hormones raging and feel like a beached whale.

This diet is much more balanced:
B-Hard Boiled Eggs, Cauliflower
S-Babybell Cheese & Sugar Snap Peas
L-Soy Burger, Cauliflower & Broccoli, with a bit of FF Ranch, Water
S-Sugar Snap Peas
D-Salsa Chicken & Beans
S-Cottage Cheese & Cinnamon

Phase 2 ~ Day 11

My strength for no sweets broke, and I had some cake & a cookie.... so of course I would gain back the 1/2 lb I lost....

so I'm sitting at 10.5 lbs which is good, I am happy with my results, I'm mad at that I wasn't even hungry and I ate the cookie, mostly because it was there...

Breakfast-Water & Apple
Lunch-Chicken Breast & Salad, Orange
Dinner-Fish & Veggie---Unsure what yet
Snack-Apple

I can tell I've lost inches, in my legs and around my hips, not so much my waist, but its tighter, still not where it needs to be, but much better...

I plan on finishing the low calorie portion with drops on Friday the 25th... Then eat the low calorie on the 26th & 27ths, and start with the 3 week maintenance on the 28th. I had taco salad last night that was soooooooo good... Hopefully I can still continue to loose, I'm drinking lots of water today, and will eat when the water isn't cutting it anymore... I don't usually get hungry which then I eat, because its my meal time I'm suppose to eat...

Phase 2 ~ Day 10

I cheated a little bit with some chocolate yesterday... however, I ate a very small supper...

I lost a 1/2 a lb yesterday and 1/2 today. Keeping my weight loss to 11 lbs now. Eating sugar hurts my stomach.... So I'm not sure why I keep wanting it, it makes me feel sick...

Breakfast-Apple & Tea
Lunch-Water Cauliflower & Blueberries ... piece of chocolate....
Feeling sick now.
Supper- Taco Salad -- Taco Seasoned Hamburger & Lettuce

I can't cut sugars out of my life completely because they are always there, I just need to figure out a way to balance them in my life completely. Sweets are my downfall... I love chocolate, and Im not one of those people who sits down and eats a whole bag of candy kisses or a whole chocolate cake, but Im good at baking, which makes wanting it so much easier when you want to test it. I made Butterscotch Puppy Chow for my work bake sale, i think it's good I didn't try it though... The Krispy bars I made I could care less about... but the chocolate covered fortune cookies, yum... I have 4 boxes of girl scout cookies sitting on my counter and I haven't touched them... I have the strength to say no... I just need to stick to it.

I want to be down another 7 lbs by the time this strict diet ends next friday, the 25th.

February 8th, 2011

I am on day 2 of my HCG diet, although its early on, Im still debating whether this will work or not.

So far I am down 3 lbs. I am not hungry, which is good. I tried the South Beach diet last year and that worked but took a lot of control and a lot of preparing, etc. Also quite pricey. This diet has a lot of the same qualities, however, goes in quicker phases. The drops are for 23 days, 2 of those were eat like you normally do with the drops, then start the 500 calorie meal. Although it sounds scary, only eating 500 calories, when doing the research it makes sense. However, I am on day 2 of the 500 calorie diet and I feel so full...

So really I am on day 4 all together, I will continue to take the drops until I am 21 days of the 500 calorie diet, continue to eat the 500 calorie diet for 3 days, then move into what is called phase 3 which is increased to 1200-1500 calories, then to do this for 3 weeks and keep losing hopefully or at least maintain the weight I have lost, then restart.

My goal is to loose probably close to 50-60 lbs, I hide my weight well....but wow did that scale make me want to cry... I am going to shoot to keep losing 1 lb a day, as that is the results expected from this diet. So yesterday I lost 2 lbs, yippie, however, today I am still shooting for 1 lb.

This diet doesn't require excessive excerise and frowns upon it. Which is great when you work full time, go to school, and run the house...

I plan on posting pictures and taking measurements tonight to see how this goes.
