VLCD 18
Yesterday 180.6
Today 181.4
gain of .8
Ok, I guess that I am extremely sensitive to sodium! I made an outstanding soup yesterday, and added Bragg's to it. It was so good and I was so cold, that I made it for supper too. I did egg whites in it for my protein in the evening, and even hubby ate it for supper! Today I am up, and so I used my new "water retention" gauge....my wedding ring! And it was soooo tight! Oh, and we did go to a local Tea Parlour to arrange for my lovely and charming DD's ( darling daughter) birthday party on saturday. We sampled the raspberry tea. It never occured to me, but that might have had an effect!
Yes, lucky me, on Saturday, I get to take seven 7 yo little girls to see the Hannah Montana 3-D Movie. Thankfully, 2 other Moms are going as well. After the movie, we will go to this Tea Parlour, and have Tea, scones, finger sandwiches, and birthday cake. Complete with dress up clothes! So this is going to be an all day affair! Some of our friends are coming in tomorrow, so I am going to have to be extra scrupulous on eating! I thought about taking a break, but decided that to take a break wouldn't get me popcorn, or cake, or tortilla chips, so why bother!
But you know, I really am not that bothered! Afterall, I certainly was never this successful on any OTHER diet that I have tried!!! And although I am stairstepping, I can really see the difference! My mistake was though, that I don't take my measurements when I started. But I took them on Sunday, so at least I have some point of reference.
I just want to get to 168 on this round. Surely I can get there! That would put me at my weight that I was at 4 years ago when I quit smoking and had a complete hysterectomy, within 6 weeks of each other! And if not, that's ok too!
Ok, gotta go to work!

Doing the happy dance!
VLCD 17
yesterday 182.8
today 180.6
loss of <2.2>
total 14.2
I have been so swamped with work and family, that I can barely keep my head above water!
So what a sweet suprise when I stepped up on the scale this morning! I really didn't expect it, because I had the whole serving of beef fajitas that came with my fajita salad last night at dinner.
I do think that last weeks seesawing was because of a set point and salt. So hopefully, I am past that, and on my way to the new decade!
I REALLY want to get as much off as possible this round, because I probably won't be able to do another round until after the 4th of July.
You see, I do the Danskin Triathlon each year! This will be my third year, and I am looking forward to doing it without as much weight! I hope to be at 165-170 when I start training the middle of March. I know that I will gain some, at the beginning of training, because I'll be adding back in sugars and starches. Anyway, it's still off a bit!
Ok, what I have done differently. I reduced my HCG to .125 on Sunday. My reasoning was that my breasts were sore. Yesterday I was starving and wanting so badly to cheat too. It was also 72 hours since I had lowered my dose. After eating all that beef last night, I was satisfied. I have NO idea if these tweaks have made any impact, or if it simply "is what it is!" I'm probably over analyzing!

Talk about 2 steps forward, one step backward! That has been my loss pattern for this week! I certainly hope that next week isn't like that!
Yesterday my daughter had her very first team dance competition. They were so cute!!!! And I think that she REALLY liked the performing.
After the competition, 3 other mother's and I went to eat with the girls. I had whipped up a dressing just in case something like that happened, and it was yummy! I'll figure out the measurements and post it.

I need a new decade!

Loss of 1.4
I've had to lose everthing TWICE this week! But at least I have an awesome hubby, who tells me everyday that he can see the weight falling off of me. Of course he is also the one who told me before that I while I was fat, I still had curves!
One of the things that we have laughed at is our almost 8 YO daughter is a very sharing soul, and so she is having a hard time with Mommy not taking her food gifts. Now she just says, "oh that's right, you are trying to lose weight" We have hidden all the hcg stuff because I don't need her going to school saying, "My mommy is trying to lose weight, and she is giving herself shots!
Yesterday I could have cheated. No hunger, just a slight sense of deprivation. I have been thinking, and this week, I haven't been taking my multi vitamin and my b-12. I think I am adding them back in. I know that it isn't in Pounds and Inches, but I think thast I will just the same!

loss of <1.6>
I had the rest of the cabbage chili for lunch, with a grissini. And then had tilapia, with asparagus...yum!
I have become an addict of 1/4 cup cottage cheese with apples or strawberries in nutmeg, sweetner, and cinnamon. I bake the apples and oh my gosh, they are soooo good!
One thing that I have on hand now is some fizzy magnesium. The other day I felt like I was going to explode...bloated, bloated, bloated, with intestinal unhappiness! LOL So now if I feel that way for a day or so, I take one tsp. at night, and voila! Much better!

I stalled for 2 days, but...
I feel reasonably certain that I will have a good loss tomorrow. My hubby says my breath gets really bad! And I've been really thirsty today, so I have peeed my brains out!!!
The best part about this diet is that I really am not tempted, by anything! I mean we have over 100 boxes of GS cookies here, and I could care less! Now I will tell you that I will be freezing some Lemonades and some Thin Mints, for phase four!
Got to work on the breath!
Forgot my Stats!

Oh My Gosh!
A couple of things are totally blowing my mind!
First, I'm down 8.4 pounds since Sunday. VLCD 6. Yesterday, I adjusted my pants ( side buttons) when I left in the morning, and by 3 pm, I needed to be able to do it again!
The fat is literally melting away before my eyes!!
The next thing is that I even turned down some orange pieces last night. And I am currently not tempted by the 15 cases of Girl Scout cookies that are in my guest room!
I LOOOOVEEEEE THIS PROTOCOL!!!!!
