4 Days Until P3...

I am so excited to add to my diet! I've been dreaming about having more to eat lately lol :). I've read in places that a 2-3lb weight gain is not abnormal, but I'm hoping that I can avoid it. If not, I'm hoping to keep it under 2. I want to surprise everyone with my last day weigh in :) it's gonna be good! Monday is the day. 4 days to hustle and get it even lower! I'm excited!!!!!! I'm going to recap on the diet once the 2 day phase out is over. I want to focus in on where I went wrong, and what I could've done differently. Unfortunately, this go round was not as successful as I hoped it would be, but successful nonetheless..... and I can't be mad at that right? :) I'm still super motivated! Good work!

Thoughts into reality....
 

Gotta See it To Believe It!

It's been 2 months and.....It's that time again!

The Moral of the Story Is.....

On this diet; it might be REALLY important to prepare your OWN food!

Da Da Daaaaaaaaaa....

I'm stalled at 187, so tomorrow will be an apple day for me....

Needle in a haystack....

I plan to post my progress (great progress); as soon as I can find the cord for my camera....for which I've been searching for 2 days now.... :-/ BUMMER!

Frustrated....

OMG! Idk Why?....

I gained 0.2lbs, but Idk why!?

That Much Closer....

I can't put into words how happy I am these days :)

Return of the Red Beast....

It's that time again... No injections for the next 3 days :(

But... I'll keep up....

Things That Speak For Themselves....

Sometimes pictures can say it all....

BLAST!

Not that happy with my results today, but I'm sure it's directly related to my "3rd day of loading". The good thing is that I'm no longer having issues with hunger :-)The bad news is....

I'm 197.8 

No need for pics.... we've seen this before lol. 

I weighed myself first thing this morning (usual), and to my surprise I was looking at an almost 7lb weight gain, but I won't let it discourage me.

I read somewhere that after a cheat day (which is essentially what my 3rd load day is considered) you should have an apple day because the cheat could possibly stall your progress for the next 3 days. I went to purchase 6 green apples this morning. I've eaten 3 so far and I am not experiencing any hunger. So far so good. I'll update tomorrow :)

I Think It's Working Now....

*Fingers crossed* I haven't experienced any hunger after my impromptu 3rd day of loading.

One more day of loading...

Hey guys,

After a thorough conversation about my hunger which has become more than mild, but still not yet severe.... we have decided that my loading was probably not as effective as it could have been, and the idea is to add one more day of loading, which apparently isn't uncommon..... but don't take my word for it. We shall see....... I am NOT happy about this, aaaand I am eating a pop tart as I type.... blaaaah my stomach is hurting :(

Can someone help with a little inspiration? Please....... *tear

Still got faith... it's just a little bump

Update Coming....

Chat with me!

I added the Google Talk, and Contact Me apps to the blog a few days back; I honestly forgot that it was there LOL. My friend, who's been following and cheering me on from 1800 miles away, pointed out that I'm never on, and I am totally wack for that LOL. I added it because I thought it'd be cool to talk to people about weight loss, different methods, workout routines, recipes, or.... anything really! I love people, and I love learning...... so, if you're here and I'm on... don't hesitate! Let's support each other!!!

Hope to hear from you guys soon!

The Difference A Day Makes....

I didn't get to post my 9/7 update yesterday. Busy day, but the good news is that I've seen progress on both mornings since the 6th, so this update will cover the progress from both days; 6th-7th progress and 7th-8th progress.

RUH ROH....

 Yesterday while I was working, I experienced one of the worst hunger pangs I've ever experienced in my life. Not only was it painful, It was loud; so it was quite embarrassing. I'd forgotten all of my meals at home, and my stomach began to pay for my brains' mistake. Unable/unwilling to sit through the pain and embarrassment, I headed towards the nearest restaurant, which happened to be a BBQ joint. I ordered possibly the lightest thing on the menu..... but that isn't saying much.

If it Is To Be, It Is Up To Me....

Day 9 of my Pre-hCG journey. I still have not received my hCG, but it's only been 9 days since I placed the order. .... sooo I'm thinking no later than this time next week. The time works since it gives me a chance to get to my "pre-hCG goal weight" of 195lbs.

Pictures after the jump>>>

FINALLY! **weight update**

FINALLY!!!! After a THREE day stall, I'm able to announce another drop!

Pictures after the jump>>>

Class Is In Session!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been watching tons of hCG tutorial videos. I just want to share some of my favorites.

Videos after the jump>>>

Still Waiting....

I'm still waiting for my hCG to arrive. 

I don't think I've ever been so anxious in my life!!! I definitely still want to drop down to 195 before I begin the treatment, but I honestly think if I turn up the sweat I can shed another 11lbs within a week. Am I silly for thinking that?

Stalled???...

Well, I haven't seen a decrease in weight since Sunday, but my body fat percentage has been active :). I gained .1% body fat yesterday, but I lost it again today :).

Shimmy!

Last night I got home around 8pm, and even though I was unwilling, I found time to get a good workout in before bed..... :)

I'm So Over Lazy!

Yesterday I discussed how I wanted to make sure I was eating correctly while on phentermine, so that I would be sure not to gain the weight back once I stop taking it (between the start of hCG, since I have to wait a week).

Pictures after the jump>>>

Phentermine... How I really feel.

  After using this method for 5 days,  I'm now confident that I can provide a well rounded review.
