hCG-R2 Day 37: VLCD-R2/218.0 lbs

Down -1.4 lbs.

I did a half of an Apple Day yesterday and did drink my required water.

I was half way through the day before I reread the Apple day instructions an found out that on an apple day, you are not supposed to drink very much water. By that time I had already had 3-24 oz glasses of water.

I had 3 apples for lunch.
For dinner last night, I had an Alcapulco Chicken Salad from Jack in the box. I just used the limes included for dressing.

hCG-R2 Day 36: VLCD-R2 Day 33/219.4 lbs

Down -0.6 lbs since Wednesday.

Tammy suggested that I do an apple day to try and break this impass.

I am going to try that today.

Yesterday for lunch was chicken w/ Greek seasoning, tomatoes and an orange. Forgot the grissini.
Dinner was Chicken Breast rolled in grissini crumbs and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper (incredible!), salad and an apple.

I have drank over 100 oz of water the last three days. I am going to really try to drink the correct amount of water over the weekend.

hCG-R2 Day 34: VLCD-R2 Day 31/220.0 lbs

Sorry I haven't posted since Friday.

I did not do great over the weekend.

I lost -0.2 lbs since Friday.

This second round has been more difficult to stay faithful and drink the required water.

I broke the 220 lb barrier!

Last night we had my Mom over for dinner.
We had cod, salad, an apple and a grissini.
(Okay, we also had a small spoon of chocolate mousse that my son Tim Jr made!)

Our church is having a bunch of fundraisers to raise money for a Back to School Blitz event in August and one of the fundraisers is a dessert night. Tim Jr is sponsering a table himself and wanted to try making the chocolate mousse ahead of time. It was delicious!
He said it will be better next time he makes it!

hCG-R2 Day 23: VLCD-R2 Day 20

220.4 lbs (-0.2 lbs) TWL= -31.4

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday.

I had gone up a pound so the loss above is actually a two day culmination.

I was hungry on Thurday and Friday due to two days in a row off of the hCG.

For dinner it was taco salad, an apple and a grissini.

No injection today. I forgot to take my injection this morning!

I have been doing well with drinking my water this week.

Yesterday for lunch I had chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes, an apple and a grissini.

I forgot to post yesterday.

hCG-R2 Day 18: VLCD-R2 Day 15

224.0 lbs!

I am starting to not trust this scale!

I went from 221.4 to 224.0 over night.

One contributing factor is that this morning I weighed at 5:30 am and over the weekend I weighed at around 9:30 am.

Aslo, Friday and Saturday I drank at lease 120 oz of water and Sunday I only drank around 80 oz.

We'll see what happens tomorrow morning!

Lunch was Buffalo Chicken Breast, Salad, an apple and a grissini.
Dinner was Taco salad with lean hamburger, an orange and a grissini.

hCG-R2 Day 17: VLCD-R2 Day 14

I lost another 1.2 lbs! It looks like I am off of my plateau.

I will be much easier to not cheat today after losing 2.8 lbs!

Tammy has lost 25.8 lbs with no complications with her type 1 diabetes.

hCG-R2 Day 15: VLCD-R2 Day 12

225.4 lbs

I have not done well on Round 2 of the hCG/VLCD.

I have not lost any weight.

I have had a problem with cheating but also I have not consistenly drank the required amount of water.

The funny thing is, that yesterday I had several different people mention how much weight I had lost lately!

The scale says no loss, but my body has lost inches. Go figure.

I am going to really try to keep to the 500 calories and drink the required water today and this weekend!
