VLCD 3
169
Good day everyone! So as you can see I couldn't stay away for long. I stayed on Phase 3 for 10 days and after some research I found the cyclers. I know many of you will disagree with my decision and I have weighed the good and the bad. I am part of the youtube hcg family also they are such a bad influence. I'm joking, I love them too. I get great information there and on the forums I'm involved with. I liked P3 and stabilizing was too easy. I stayed exactly .5 or on the dot of my LIW. It was boring and I wasn't ready to stay at a weight where I wasn't satisfied. So I read, and read, and watched and watched some more until I made the decision to go for it. I am happy not hungry and losing very well. A pound a day so far. I didn't load because the advice from people who cycled with success said up to 14 days there is no loading. I liked that idea better because I hated the thought of putting on 5 xtra pounds! I'm not in anyway condoning this decision I think people have to evaluate their situation and go from there. Eating this way for me is very easy. I don't know why I don't struggle with it. It could all be a mental balance. But, here I am hunger fine and weight loss great. I'm watching many of you and Jen Payne too. I've noticed that many have decided to un-hcg and I'm very interested. If this stops working for me I will definitely look into this information. But I really hope it's working out for everyone else. I don't know or think that I'm insulin deficient so that may not effect me. But I am catching up on everyone and I hope everyone is doing well physically and mentally. Happiness in anything you do is all that matters. Be safe and strong everyone. I'll update soon!

This is a recap of my days on the HCG protocol and journey to a healthier me! The good the bad and the ugly......

VLCD 39 I'M DONE
172
30lbs lost forever!!!
WOW I've come to the end of my HCG journey. I'm finished with injection. My official LIW is 172lbs. OMG I could pinch myself I'm in heaven. I did a steak and mug cake day last night and had dinner at Patricks house. I felt that I was going to get to goal this morning and I did. I made it and I couldn't be happier with my results and how everything turned out. I went through my birthday, easter, sister-in-laws bday, my brothers going away party, and mother's day. I've overcome all the trials and made it to the finish line. I can't stop seeing the number 30 in my head. I have new goals now and that's to maintain for a couple of weeks while incorporating some foods back in. I will also be adding in 2 miles a day walks/jogs depending on how I feel. I'm so excited and I want to thank all my fellow bloggers for the motivating word and encouragement. I want you to know I will still be here and keeping up with all of you. As you know I'm not finished yet I still have 30lbs more I'd like to lose. Friday is picture day and Sunday is my 1st phase 3 day. Wish me luck and to all of you happy losing. I'll see you all at the finish line!

VLCD 34 - 38
174
I'm leaving you all with a poem today my update is short but I don't have a lot so say. I'm so happy with my results with 2 days of injections to go and 28lbs lost I am beyond excited. No matter the stalls, no matter the cravings and setbacks. I did it. I am almost there but I feel like I am already there. I didn't quit I didn't stop and now look where I've come. This 6 weeks has past pretty quickly and I know that I still have work to do. But today I stare at the number and know that HCG works. It does what it's suppose to do. I will do my measurements and I will be taking photos and I can't wait to show you all how great I look. I can say with confidence these pictures are going to be great. No I may not be perfect and I'm not quite done but I must say I'm proud of where I am and so far from where I started. Thank you all for the encouragement and keeping me motivated with all your blogs and persistance. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I can't wait for my next round and I'll still be here. I'll keep blogging in P3 and P4 because we all know how important the maintenance phases are. This is the end of VLCD but the beginning of my new body and maintaining it well. Love you all and have great releases. I will be catching up with each and everyone of your blogs today! The following poem is very long but it is also very good! When you have the time read through it. Whoever wrote it thank you!
Happy Losing
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
by Author Unknown
Diplomacy is the art of letting someone else get your way.
Life is not no much a matter of position as of disposition.
The best vitamin for making friends, B-1.
If you don't care where you're going any road will get you there.
A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice.
He who throws mud loses ground.
Nobody raises his own reputation by lowering others.
Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
Ideas won't work unless you do.
The future is purchased by the present.
One thing you can't recycle is wasted time.
Lost time is never found again.
A hard thing about business is minding your own.
Triumph is just "umph" added to try.
Caution is not cowardly, Carelessness is not courage.
He who forgives ends the quarrel.
Children need more models than critics.
Frogs have it easy, They can eat what bugs them.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime.
If the going gets easy you may be going downhill.
Dieters - People that are thick and tired of it.
Jumping to conclusions can be bad exercise.
The best labor saving device is doing it tomorrow.
A turtle makes progress when it sticks its neck out.
Failure is the path of least persistence.
Hard work is the yeast that raises the dough.
Patience is counting down without blasting off.
Have a backbone not a wishbone.
Some folks won't look up until they are flat on their backs.
If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep.
Friend - One who knows all about you and likes you just the same.
Money talks and often just says, "Good-bye".
Birds have bills too and they keep on singing.
Forbidden fruit is responsible for many a bad jam.
God's retirement plan is out of this world.
A good example is the best sermon.
The Ten Commandments are not multiple choice.
Well done! is better than, Well said!
Minds are like parachutes - they function only when open.
Live as you wish your kids would.
Swallowing your pride seldom leads to indigestion.
If you can laugh at it then you can live with it.
People don't fail, they give up.
When looking for faults use a mirror, not a telescope.
Smile, it takes only 13 muscles; A frown takes 64.
Kindness, a language deaf people can hear and blind can see.
Heaviest thing to carry - a grudge.
A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.
A small leak can sink a great ship.
You can't direct the wind, but you can adjust your sails.
We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.
Tact is the ability to see others as they wish to be seen.
A bad conscience has a very good memory.
Hug your kids at home - Belt them in the car.
One thing you can give and still keep - is your word.
A friend walks in when everyone else walks out.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it.
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Make friends before you need them.
It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
Success is … more attitude than aptitude.
Our favorite attitude should be gratitude.
The greatest of all faults is to imagine you have none.
Too many of us speak twice before we think.
Some people develop eye strain looking for trouble.
Everyone has 20/20 hindsight.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
Feed your faith and doubt will starve to death.
It is no crime not to be perfect.
If others have sinned you need not mention it.
No man knows less than the man who knows it all.
Patience carries a lot of wait.
One who lacks courage to start has already finished.
A quitter never wins, A winner never quits. A coward never starts.
Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.
Break a bad habit - Drop it.
Don't learn safety rules simply by accident.
Failing to prepare We prepare to fail.
Past failures are guideposts for future success.
There is no right way to do a wrong thing.
There can be no rainbow without a cloud and a storm.
If your dreams turn to dust…vacuum.
Money is a good servant but is a cruel master.
Seek joy in what you give not in what you get.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Success comes in cans Failure comes in can'ts.
Anger is one letter short of danger Greatest remedy for anger is delay.
2/3 of promotion is motion.
Having a sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

Wow I cannot believe it's been 33 days already. I'm so happy this diet has gotten easier for me. There are so many things in my life right now that aren't as dandy as can be. But I have the world in my kids and so much to be thankful for. Brandon he is such a wonderful kid I love his character and energy this boy makes smile even though he doesn't always know it. Today I'm going to hug him and tell him how much I love him. My baby girl although she cannot talk yet she says so much. Her eyes pierce right through me. Her smile and laughter make me so elated. I'm slowly getting my body back and so she didn't do as much damage as I thought. lol I'm also grateful to have learned how to really love someone and know they love me too. But everyday no matter what is going on I have so much to be thankful for. I have a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to eat. Sometimes we get so caught up in things that aren't quite perfect or right or like someone else. It tends to make us forget the important things. Someone went to bed and didn't wake up last night. Someone else loss a child or a baby or has never been able to get pregnant. As mother's day approaches I know that I'm beyond blessed. To all the mothers of children here and gone the time you have and had with them always cherish. You're mothers and there is no one like you. God made you special. I love you all have a wonderful weekend I'll be back Monday. I'm sorry to ramble on but this is just one of those days! I hope everyone has a great weekend and I hope to read and catch up with all you soon. Happy losing.
I love you Mommy!

VLCD 32 (SHRIMP IS EVIL)

Yep you got no loss! I love seafood and shrimp is definitely up there as one of my favorites. But last night we had dinner at Patricks house as we do every Wednesday. But the difference between last week and this week he is doing the diet too. So he made an HCG friendly meal for us dieters and pumpkin lasagna for the other crew members. I lost nothing, my bf loss 1.5 but that's after 2 hours later when he weighed after elimination. Patrick loss .6 which is not normal for him. Now get this though and get this the young lady at my job who was not with us had shrimp last night too. She has been doing great but this morning only down .6.
So after a little research we found the we all had large shrimp from ACME. They are farm grown and not wild caught so therefore we all did not eat protocol shrimp and therefore the lack of loss or no loss! So sad but glad because now we know. So no more shrimp from there and we know to be that much more careful. Congrats to a special lady in my group who is the biggest loser so far with 17lbs gone forever on her 3rd vlc day. I'm so proud of her. Anyways on to the next day.
Here is a huge treat for everyone this is an awesome food list for every phase and it's put together perfectly! Enjoy

Nice, very nice! I'm so happy! I am definitely making up my own happy dance right now. Despite my circumstances not being very good at home lately my weight coming down is makes me smile. I'm just hoping that stress doesn't catch up with me. Many people with failed weight loss can be a direct connection to stress. I'm doing well and staying consistent with my food. changing it up and sometimes. Preparation is always the key to staying on track. Now my bf is doing this with me and that makes it so much easier on me. I am only cooking and preparing food for my son now and baby Gabby eats mushy food.
I hope I can stay consistent with the losses until I'm done next week. I don't need anymore stalls, especially if I want to get to the 160s. I'll be happy at 170. I'm going to work very hard on this break between rounds! P3 I'm coming for you. I wish you didn't have to break so long in between. But it is going to continue to teach me good habits so that when I'm done I'll be a loser forever. I hope everyone is doing well. Be strong, stay focused, and encouraged.

I'm so happy. Again my blogs are becoming few and in between. I'm helping 4 other Hcgers now on a daily basis so this is also consuming my time. But it is so worth it to watch them doing so great. They are losing wonderfully and it makes me happy to help to them. I have 2 others ready to jump in and will be ordering their products soon. These are all people who I am close with and know personally so I'm willing to take out the time. I'm doing great as you can see I broke my stall right before the weekend and I've been creeping back down again. YAY.......
I hope all of you are doing well and you know I will check your blogs soon. I hope to get to comment on them. Always remember stay strong and keep focused.
HCG - Cheating = Awesome results and you're so worth it!
