Its my last VLCD!! I am doing a happy dance because this last round has been a true struggle for me. Thank you for all the support!
The day before my LDW everyone at work ordered a huge spread of Indian food and I just couldn't resist so I had +0.8 gain on my LDW (160.2). I lost -1.4 on the morning of my first day of no drops and -1.2 today. This is fitting because it puts me right back at my lowest weight (157.6). I dont really like the idea of using 160 as my LDW so I will call that the danger zone and try to keep myself in the 150's. My original goal was to be 150... I will gladly take 157.6. I feel excellent about how I look! I was trying on shorts yesterday and needed a size 7 in juniors! This is the size I was senior year of high school!
Round 2 summary: Last day of round 1 P3 165.4 up to 171 after load, total loss 7.8- not excellent but this was a short round filled with set backs so no complaints. I am thinking, make that hoping, that I am done with HCG unless a correction round is ever needed. I am also excited to add body pump back into my routine, my first round I didn't feel like I could really see the changes my body made until I started working out and toning.
I love P3 so I am so excited, a little nervous because my birthday party is on Friday and it will only be my 3rd day of P3.. the plan is to go out to a seafood restaurant where I will order garlic scallops and try to stick to rum and diet coke as my drink. I am already foreseeing lots of shots and yummy drinks being purchased for me so I am really glad that I am currently 2.6 below LDW!

VLCD 19 Thats what I am talking about!
-2.8!! There is the true motivation I need to trudge on through this, only 2 more days of drops left! This is my lowest weight so far for this round so I am not feeling too bad about my little interruption. But I do have to admit that I didn't exactly follow protocol yesterday, I had a grapefruit for breakfast, a double serving a chicken for lunch with ketchup. When I got home from work I got a call to meet a boy I like out so I jumped in the shower and ran out the door with an apple pie Larabar (dates, apples, walnuts, and almonds) in hand. At the bar I had 2 rum and diets and called it dinner. Now I cant recommend this for everyone but every time I have rum and diet coke I almost always have a large loss the next day!
My birthday party is next Friday so I have to be in P3 for that, I will only be in my 3rd day of P3 for my birthday which is not the best because I know there will probably be some cheating!

VLCD18
-0.2 not much but I am back on track so I will take it! I went to the doctors today and it was good to see that their scale said almost exactly the same as mine this morning! I always worry about that because in the past I have always felt like the doctors scale was much higher.

VLCD 17... again
So I am officially back on track, I feel like this should be exciting but I really have lost most of my desire to do this right now. I hate admitting this, but your head really has to be in this to make it work. I know its worth it, I know the results make me feel amazing, and I also know I just have to make it through 6 more days!
+0.6 I did a mini load yesterday since I had been off the drops for several days.

unplanned interuption
So when we last chatted I had four days of pretty good losses.. things were going great! I ran out of drops on Friday- only had enough for 1.5 doses, I called healthremedies and they dropped a bottle in the mail on that morning. The mail is normally very fast and sometimes only takes a day so I opted not to spring for the next day shipping- Big mistake!
VLCD 16 (6/4) I had a -1.2 loss, no drops ate VLCD throughout the day but dinner was a girls night out. My friend ordered me a Mojito because she knew they were my favorite, I felt a little guilty about it but was thinking maybe since I didn't have a full day of drops the day before there were be less in my system to cause a problem? I got week and had a couple pieces of bread with humus and a bite of my friends cake. Latter we met up with another group of friends where free shots became part of the equation. I was having a great time with close friends and cute boys! Until the next day that is when I had a +1 gain. I ate VLCD for "breakfast" and lunch, I met my friend for a movie after work and decided that I have been at the dieting thing since April and I want popcorn! I had a small popcorn at the movies and that was dinner, I made the decision that I am off drops and I am going to use this time to give myself a mental break from obsessing about food 24/7. I still weighed the next day, -0.2. That would have been VLCD 18 but that will be a do over day, I ate very poorly... part of me wanted to go crazy and eat all of the things I was missing but even though I wasn't supposed to be stressing about food and weight loss I couldn't get it out of my head! It also doesn't help that in my carelessness I forgot to take my birth control 3 days in a row and I am now having another period!
I have clearly not been in this round from the beginning, I thought about just calling it but I dont want to give up, and I love the way I feel in my own skin again! I was up +1.2 today which is depressing but just the kick in the pants that I needed to get back on point. My new bottle finally came today and I took my drops this morning. I am going to count today as VLCD 16 and go from there... It is kinda weird since I am only doing 23 days, but I cant do any longer because I have a vacation coming up that I need to stabilize for. Oh well back on the horse!

Multiple day update VLCD 11-15
VLCD 11 & 12 Yesterday I had -0.6 loss! I was happy that the stress and antibiotics didn't affect my weight loss but today was a +0.2 gain :( I feel like the antibiotics are fully on-board now, I feel nauseous and just kinda gross. I have also been putting ointment on my wounds so maybe that hasn't helped either.
I have been waking up all week feeling bloated in the mornings, even my ring that is normally loose is imprinted on my hand. Is it just the heat, am I not drinking enough water?
VLCD 13 Down -0.2.. its not much but its something! The week has been horrible for weight loss but there is really nothing I can do about it until I am off antibiotics and the inflammation goes down. I have been bouncing around the 161's for the last six day.. I want to be in the 150's!!
VLCD 14 I had a -1.2 loss today! The antibiotics are really upsetting my stomach, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was going to vomit. The inflammation in my hands is down so I think that has helped with getting me back on the weight loss train. I had a long day of orientation today, I was so sick to my stomach that I ate a small blueberry muffin in the attempts to settle it. I don't eat my melba so hopefully a little carbs wont be too disastrous!
It is so hard to eat protein and veggies when your stomach is upset and all you want it toast and jelly! I had egg whites with spinach for lunch because I just couldn't stomach anymore chicken. Oh well just 1.5 more days of antibiotics and hopefully things should be back to normal!
VLCD 15 -0.8 let the good times roll! I took my last dose of antibiotics this morning, so glad to be done with those! I am also glad the small muffin didn't seem to effect me, I only have 8 VLC Days left so I need to continue with good losses to be closer to my goal. I set my goal at 150, I am at 159 today so I am a little doubtful that I will hit that goal but I will be pretty close to it! I am really happy with how I look now so losing a little more would be great but its not the end of the world if I don't get to goal.
Of course I ran out of drops and didn't really realize it till this morning, healthremedies.com to the rescue! I am hoping my new bottle will be here by tomorrow!

VlCD 10 grr
I started off the day happy because I had a -0.6 loss, but now....Thank goodness this day is finally over! I got to work at 8am and by 9am we had already seen 5 cases. I ate my chicken meatballs with tomato sauce and a navel orange between doing blood work at 1pm. The day just kept exploding, at 3pm when helping my students with a husky the did not restrain it properly and it jumped up and attacked my hand, the student then let the dog go and it got my other hand as well. I have deep puncture wounds on both hands and wasn't able to move my thumb so I had to leave work and go to the hospital.
I left the hospital 3 hours later to go back to work. I didn't take my second set of drops until 7pm (12 hours since my first set). I was stressed and exhausted and all I want was a chocolate milkshake and french fries! But I was strong and didn't give in!! I am worried that a combo of the antibiotics, pain meds, and inflammation is going to affect my weight loss :(

VLCD 8 and 9
Been working like crazy lately and I wont be off till Tuesday... Work is of course tiring, but they have me working crazy hours like 4pm to 5am then back at 4pm to 12:30am and then back again at 8am. I am taking my drops and weighing at different times but hopefully things will settle down since I go back to all day shifts for the rest of the week.
On Thursday night I realized I left the majority of my dinner at home :( Eating out is already near impossible not to mention when you are limited to only the things that deliver after hours. I ordered a grilled chicken salad with light ranch. I picked all the tiny cheese shreds I could off of the salad and used like 2 tsp of the dressing just because I cant eat plain lettuce. I probably would have been fine with that but I gave into the extra order of small waffle fries that they accidentally added to our order.. they were amazing! Didn't I say no cheating this round.. uhh moment of weakness!
Friday VLCD8 +0.4 Saturday VLCD9 +0.4 The first one I understand, but two days in a row.. come on! Going to bed in hopes tomorrow the scale will be kind.

VLCD 6, 7, and the skirt!
VLCD 6 brought a loss of -0.6. A smaller loss, but no complaints considering that TOM is in full swing and I felt very bloated and just kinda gross :( Last round I hit a week long stall when TOM checked in so I getting a little nervous.
As girls I think most of us have that one item of clothing that no matter what size it is, you keep it in your closet and don't have the heart to get rid of it because just one day you may be able to wear it again. Well for me that item is my size 6 American eagle skirt:
Just as exciting as wearing my skirt out was what the scale had to say this morning, VLCD 7 down -1 pound! This is a great surprise because I did not eat the best yesterday! I had lunch out with a friend at an Irish pub- corned beef and cabbage, I tried this before last P2 and it was safe for me. On my first VLCD I had diet coke and rum and still had a pretty good loss, so I tried this again last night.
It was actually kinda funny, the tornado sirens went off while I was at the bar last night, so I ended up drinking more than I planned on because we couldn't leave! I know diet coke is a no no but it seems to work ok for me.. I only drink it when it has alcohol in it though : )

VLCD 5
-3.2 let the happy dance commence!! Saying bye bye to that depressing load weight! I am the same as my first day of P3 last round, which is the lowest weight I have ever hit (163). I am a little surprised because TOM showed up today so I am really hoping the loses continue, last round I had a week long stall!
I have discovered my favorite way to eat spinach- microwaved with some chicken broth, garlic, minced onions, and red pepper flakes- very yummy!
Yesterday I had strawberries for breakfast, 5 chicken meatballs with tomato sauce for lunch, 4 chicken meatballs with cooked spinach for dinner, and then a very large grapefruit for dessert. Yep I ate the whole thing, I have always eaten a whole grapefruit during P2 and I am thinking my body liked it because up to today I had only been having apples and strawberries as my fruit.
Excited to see what tomorrow brings, I have been struggling with more hunger and temptation this round but that 3 pounds reminded me why I do this!!

VLCD4
Hello All!
I was crazy busy last week and didnt have much time to check in so I am trying to get caught up with my own story as well as everyone else!
I kinda ended up doing 2.5 days of loading because I got called in to work an overnight shift on my last night of loading, I didnt have P2 food prepared so I just continued with my left over loading foods. I guess I did really efficient loading because I gained 6 pounds! Uhh part of me was kinda heart broken because I got up to 171, after 3 weeks around 164 I thought I was done with 170 forever! Oh well it will all be corrected and hopefully I will find myself at 150 by the end of this round!
So far: VLCD2 -2 VLCD -1.2 VLCD4 -1.6 This round is really different for me than the first one because school is out so I am going out more, I am also attempting to date this round. Last time I decided not to bother with the stress and was a little hermit-ish (not really sure that is a word... oh well!) But it is fun telling a guy you are seeing that "So this may sound weird but we can't eat together for the next 23 days." This may work out because we didnt have the same taste in food anyways! I am only doing a 23 day round this time so I cant aloud for any cheating but I find myself hungry and craving food much more this time then last round.
I miss my P3 food.... mmmm cheese
