Hey all,
I haven't blogged in awhile because it's really difficult for me to get on a computer nowadays. Also, as some of you already know, I've been having a really confusing time with what's going on with my weight.
I'm not understanding how, like today, I can wear these same jeans loose last night, but a day later they're extremely tight on me and I've got a huge muffin top of fat hanging over them. I haven't weighed in a few days because I didn't want to continue stressing myself out, but…

So as you all can see in my title I'm having a horrid time with keeping around my LIW. I do need to let you all know a couple of things first so you can get the big picture of what's going on with me...
First, starting from day 1 of this phase 3 I have cheated with sugars and starches every day (or night). Actually, the second thing I wanted to tell you all is that although I may eat well during the day, I do suffer from eating throughout the night, which is when i eat the sugars and/or starches…

I'm soooo sick of dealing with this water retention! I'm at my wits end and ready to go berserk. Yesterday I was only up 1# from my LIW. Today i wake up with another 3.4# gain. What the hell's going on here? I've been gaining more and more water weight each day. I have yet to start my period, but just within a few hours, i feel myslef ballooning up. My jeans are so much tighter than just last night. I'm doing a steak day today. I've already eaten my apple and steak. Been drinking A TON of water/…

I weighed in this morning at 121.0#s. This, I'm sure, is due to me being crampy and bloated AGAIN! I think my gain over the last couple of days has also been to the unfortunate fact that I've been suffering from Night Eating Syndrome for the past few years.
This is when a person, whether from low melatonin/seratonin, high cortisol levels, etc. gets up continually through the night and grazes on anything/everything in the kitchen/cupboards. Usually, it's carbohydrates because they release serato…

Ok, what gives???? I don't understand why my body keeps yo-yo-ing through this entire phase 2. I haven't done anything different: eating the norm, drinking a ton, etc. If it's water retention, then WHY??? I had to deal w/gains almost 2 weeks before my TOM, which ended only about 2 weeks ago. Now i'm feeling crampy, bloated, and have breast tenderness all over again. So c'mon ladies, what's going on with me?
I only have a few days left of phase 2, which worries me. I,of course, haven't had the a…

I've been off for a few days due to my horrid experience with my tooth. It started giving me trouble a few days ago and i put off seeing a dentist or taking any meds because i didn't want to screw up my phase. The pain got soooo bad that i couldn't take it anymore! Went to the dentist who referred me to an endodontist. UGH!!! Had to drive across the island just to get a crazy root canal. I, thankfully, am no longer in great pain, but again, i've been trying NOT to take the meds i was given. I ha…

Well..we're on R1P2 day 27. Original LIW (after 2 VLCDs) was 143.0#s. Today I'm a whopping 121.6#s with a total loss of 21.4#s! Yay!!! I hope to the big man upstairs that I can keep it going for the upcoming tail end of my phase. More importantly, praying that I can keep it off during Phase3. I think that's what's got me all butterflies inside. Sooooo many of you tell me how it's super easy; that you eat what you like (w/o the sugars & starches), and maintain just fine. Yet, you'd all be ama…

So I figured that i got my "days" wrong on how long i've been on phase 2..I started the first injection on my first gorge day, which was Sunday, August 24. So being the 16th today, I guess I'm at 24 days rather than 23!!! Oh well...
My last blog had me at 122.8#s and the next morning I had dropped AGAIN (all caps cuz I'm still dealing with TOM and surprised that i've been losing during it :-)) Got down to 121.4#s!!!!!!!!!! But the fun didn't last because yesterday I woke up, weighed, and stared…

I'm desperately hoping that it's because i heavily started my TOM yesterday that I gained this much. I stopped the shots today and i'm debating whether to start back tomorrow or not. There's some of you that inject right through or wait until it's done. I've gotten so used to depending on it that i hate to skip a day, fearing i'll continue this TOM fluid gain. Oh well, time will tell, right? And i do want to thank you all for your support through my HCG journey. I know i ask a ton of questions,…

Alrighty my lovely darlings...down another .8#s..better than nothing! Pretty good seeing as though i'm suffering through TOM. UGH!!! The things we women have to put up with, right? I'm looking for some success stories on anyone's journey through phase 3 and phase 4. So if you're out there, give me a holler! I'm nervous about getting to p3 and really being able to eat what i want (minus the starches and sugars). I guess i'm used to having the hcg in my system as the thing to rely on with taking c…

Hi everyone! It's been pretty hard for me to get on a computer, so i haven't blogged in awhile. Now that I'm at work, I thought i'd jump on, say "hello", and log-in my current weight. I'm down 18.4 #s from my LIW. Not bad for day 18. I've had some ups and downs, too. I gained .2 from yesterday, but i started TOM just a few minutes ago. I'm hoping it's the excess fluid that gave me the bump up. So i'm just flushing myself out with as much water and tea as possible! Question for anyone who can ans…
