Had an exceptional weekend with lots of temptations. A night out with some high school girlfriends and offered to be the DD so I didn't have to miss having a glass of wine. Ordered a plain salad with shrimp and a few lemon wedges. They went all out with shrimp burritos, the jalapeno cheese sauce that I know is to die for and margaritas!! I wasn't even tempted. Today I weighted 176.5 (I think!) and my clothes are starting to feel looser! In fact, last week I bought two skirts and a pair of pants on clearance and they were all extremely tight. This morning I tried on one and the skirts and it looked great. I didn't try the pants yet...they were the tightest so maybe early next week.
I'm going to do a 33 day round this time and then see where that leaves me weight wise. If I have 20ish then I'll do one more long round and hope to reach goal. If not, I'll do two 23 day rounds. I just hate that first 10 days!!
Starting to feel like I'm making some progress so I'm feeling good.
About Me
- Shimmie
- San Diego, CA
- I am 48, 5’7” with a starting weight 169.8. I have previously done several successful rounds of HCG (losing 50 lbs)only to regain it back because I did not follow the protocol (weighing myself daily). It is so true that you can't go by how your clothes feel because you can be up nearly 15 lbs before they are tight! I am ready to embark on a new journey to successfully get back to a normal BMI weight that I can maintain. Once I have accomplished that goal, I'll re-evaluate my ultimate weight loss goal. I know one thing for sure, my back stops hurting at 153ish so that's goal one. Normal BMI is in that weight range as well. So, 153 it is!!
Hi Shimmie! I'm glad to have you as a diet buddy! I am so excited to get started on the HCG again and see that scale go down. I totally agree with you that a 40 day round isn't all that much more productive than a 23 day round. I lost 85% of my weight in the first 3 weeks and just 15% the last three long agonizing weeks! It is so hard to stay motivated when the scale is going down so slowly. I vowed I won't do more than a 23 day round again. I guess I haven't had the problems that you have had the first 10 days. Those are the best because for me, the scale moves the fastest! I've been putting on about 5 lbs a month and have had to keep buying larger sizes. Went from a size 4-6 to size 14! I got rid of all my "fat" clothes (anything over a 10) when I lost the weight last time. I've just been haunting the thrift stores because I refuse to pay full price for clothes I DON'T want to wear! Can't wait to get back into my cute clothes again. Good luck to you and keep up the good work.
