Can I get a do over??

So this is technically week 2 of round 2, but I have had a major set back. I was doing really well at the beginning of the week and then on Wed. I got really sick and basically was in bed until Saturday. The weird thing though was that I didn't loose my appetite, in fact it was doubled. I felt like I couldn't eat enough. At that point I decided it was easier to stop the HCG until I felt better. I stopped the shots for 3 days. I unfortunately had a huge weight gain. At one point I was weighing 220, yikes. Then all of the sudden when I weighed this morning, I weighed 215.8. How is it that your body is able to do that?? Not that I am complaining, I was starting to feel depressed over this gain, and felt like all my work was going down the drain. So thank goodness for do overs and I have started the HCG again. Here is to a great week. Stats for today:

Weight: 215.8
Gain/Loss: + 2.4

Not to shabby considering all of the "loading" that I did.

Round 3

I just started round 3 on Sunday. I decided to do the 3 loading days since it has been over six weeks since I ended round 2. They say you are more successful when you do this because you are storing up fat and are not as hungry. So loading basically means eating as much as you can especially high fat foods. This would sound like a lot of fun, but it actually gets old and you get sick of food. I am glad I feel this way because it makes eating 500 calories a day sound like a delight. I can tell I am ready to start again, I really haven't gained anything since round 2 (thank goodness) but I can tell my body is changing its shape. Fat is bulging again where it shouldn't and I don't like that feeling. Here are my stats for today:

Weight: 213.0
Loss/Gain: +1.6 lbs

I know it's not Monday

I was a little late in posting my Monday stats but I figure it is better late then never. I am gearing up to start the HCG on Sunday. I am a little nervous, but yet excited to be back on a plan that I know works. Here are my stats for today:

Weight: 211.0
Loss/Gain: -.04 oz

I'll take it :)

Monday monday

So my big plan of starting round 2 didn't quite work out. I have been so busy this week and also this weekend and I think in order to be successful at this you need to have a plan in place and you also need to have all of the right foods, which I don't, so I am thinking I will start Feb 1 which also happens to be on a Monday. Here are my stats for today. For some reason I lost 1.4 lbs since last Monday. I am still trying to figure that one out since I haven't stuck to any eating plan.

Weight: 211.4
Loss/Gain: -1.4

Yeah for me!!

Just checkin' in

I thought I would pop my head in and say Hi. It was an interesting week last week and is still continuing this week. I found out that my flex spending will pay for any weight loss program as long as I have a note from my physician indicating that it was medically necessary to loose weight. (Isn't it always medically necessary to loose weight if you are overweight??) Finding out this news made me run to the clinic that I go to as fast as I could. They ran my card and it was approved, and I was also able to pick up the HCG. I am thinking that i will start next week. This is a lot sooner than I had planned, but I am also ready. I hope that I have the same success that I have had in the past. I almost think I will do just as well as I did the first round because I have had a chance for my body to take a rest from the HCG so it will be a little bit more potient. Also last week my body decided to shed everything that was built up for years (yes TOM came to visit) This has been so annoying and it is still continuing this week. I don't know how much more I can take. I hope this all subsides this week. Because of this my weight has been up and down the scale. I was starting to get worried, plus the fact that I am craving food like crazy. I ended up weighing myself today and I am back to where I was the last time I blogged (Thank goodness) Here are my stats for this week:

Weight: 212.8
Loss/Gain: 0

After the holidays

It has been such a long time since I have written anything here so I thought I better pop my head in and let you know that I was still here. I had two weeks off for the holidays and although it was great to be off that amount of time, I myself decided I am a person that is really good with structure. While I was off I did a lot of shopping, eating, sleeping, watching movies, and sleeping. I am actually glad to be back to work and in a normal schedule. During that time I did A LOT of eating. I was actually shocked that I only gained 1 pound during that time (Which they say if you stay in the 2 lb range you are good). I think the whole resetting of the hypothalamus thing really works. I am excited to start again. I haven't decided yet on a starting date, but I am thinking around February. Here are my stats for today:

Weight: 212.8
Loss/Gain: + 1 lbs

Monday weigh-in

So I am happy to announce that I have not gained any weight. I am not sure how I am accomplishing this because I have made terrible food choices this past week, but let me tell you the things that I am doing. I am staying away from fast food. I no longer have a craving for this type of food. I would rather have a nice fresh juicy steak instead of a fried greasy hamburger. I also am still having a problem eating all of my calories. I notice I am the most hungry at dinner time. I am not sure why my body continues to act this way, but I am not complaining because I am not gaining. I just hope this doesn't creep up on me later on. Here are the stats for this week

Weight: 211.6
Loss/Gain: 0
