2/5/08 Wt. 185.5 Up 3#s from LIW

Still on phase 3. Considering a steak day tomorrow. Eating mostly proteins and vegetables and apples and grapefruit and of course my favorite snack, organic raw almonds. I picked up 1# and I think it was from going out to a restaurant and eating the complimentary peanuts. Also at my new job it's difficult to drink water. If I don't drink the water I usually retain it. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2nd round of phase 2 hcg. Continue

1/26/08 Wt. 185# Phase 3

I started my new job and I haven't quit my other one yet. Very busy and tired too. A slight increase in my weight since my last post. I blame that on not being able to drink the water on the job. So I think I've actually retained water from not drinking. I packed a bag lunch every day and have kept my appetite in check. So that's good. I hope everyone had a great week. I missed reading everyone's blogs. Will have to catch up this weekend. Continue

1/20/08 Wt. 184# Still In Phase 3

I seem to be hovering around 184#s. My LIW was 182.5#. Thrilled about that. As long as I stay within 2 #s of my LIW, I have come to a concious decision some where along the way to NOT TRY to lose any more but just maintain my LIW weight during phase 3. I only want to lose abnormal fat and I believe the only way to do that is with hcg. Yesterday I ordered more hcg and now I need to gather my "junkie" supplies; needles, syringes and vials. I may be starting a bit later than I thought with my 2nd r… Continue

1/16/08 Wt. 183.0#s Lost 0.5 from 1/15/08

Yippie. Had my cake and ate it too and lost a half a pound to boot! Still in the safe zone of within 2#s of my LIW of 182.5. I love this diet. Eat a treat and lose weight! The organic treats are so much better because they are made without the refined sugar that plays havoc on our pancreas and our metabolism. Just needed to see if it made a difference on the scale today and it didn't!!!!!! Is anyone doing phase 4 if they're repeating phase 2? Continue

1/14/08 183.5#s Phase 3 Continues....Up 1# from LIW

Again soooo happy that I have this phase under control. I should of journaled my food each day to see on paper what works and what makes me gain. I just know that phase 3 started out with a bang and the day after Christmas there was a steady incline for a whole week until I freaked out at 8#s above LIW. Without Christmas I think I would of adjusted quicker. Less panic and grey hairs along the way as well! Sticking with many snacks of protein and vegies was a big help. Aaa n n n d now I have a co… Continue

1/12 185#s Phase 3 till Jan.31st

Well I seem to have stablized in phase 3. Today 2.5#s above LIW. I miscalculated my 2nd round of phase 2 date. Instead of February, I'll be starting on Jan. 31st. The sooner the better. Also, I bought a couple of candy bars that were dark european chocolate with no sugar. Not organic. 197 cal each. Oh oh, I had 2 of them and I'm curious for tomorrow's weigh in. Friday night I had an all you can eat fish fry that had Whiting fish with a very lite breading and gained only 0.5 today. I spared the f… Continue

1/8/08 Wt. 185# Down another 1.5#s on Phase 3!

I am down another 1.5#s from yesterday and now I am only 2.5#s from my LIW of 183.5. Whew! Recovering from Christmas was painful but the program works if you follow it! Now only 0.5# from the 2# allowance. What I've been doing is eating mostly small amounts of protein (org. turkey, org. beef hamburger, raw almonds, scrambled eggsw/little cheese, org. hot dogs, org. bacon, egg salad, tuna salad) with a few vegies throughout the day. I haven't had much chicken breast lately because I was sick of i… Continue

1/6/08 Wt. 186# Down Another 2#s - Start Round 2 Phase 2 Feb. 4th

Now that's what I'm talkin about!! Alright I think I'm back on track and losing this extra water retention from the holidays! So so so excited. Now i'm 3.5#s from my LIW. Whew!! That beats 8#s. I've been eating little bits of protein all day and had an org. hamburger with salad, half a grapefruit and tea again for dinner. I stayed up till 2am and went back to the kitchen to prepare 2 scrambled eggs with salsa. Then went to bed. I am also doing a total body cleanse, so I'm sure that is helping to… Continue

1/5/07 188!!!!!!!! Down 2.5#s from yesterday!!

I'm so happy! Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I really thought I was going crazy. I really thought, this is where I get off.... It won't work if I can't manage AFTER the hcg! So I tried the steak day one more time. This time I stuck with small protein snacks during the day. I had a hard boiled egg for breakfast with coffee and org. half and half. Lunch was another boiled egg and small salad. Supper was a medium org. T-bone with a whole grapefruit. Tea before bed. I can't tell you how r… Continue

1/3/08 Wt. 190.5#s Phase 3 Blues!!

Oh my gosh! Up 2#s from yesterday!! Okay there's no doubt that I am struggling with phase 3 since 12/26. If phase 4 adds sugar and starch, I'm in trouble. I don't think I'm going to do phase 4 if I can't get a handle on phase 3. I'm not craving anything, just allowing myself to have a few carbohydrates. Last night I had organic cereal with organic milk before going to bed. (probably responsible for the 2#'s) No fast foods. The more nervous I get about this routine, the more screwed up I get. Any… Continue

1/2/2008 Happy New Year - Wt. 188.5#s

2008 is the continuation of a great protocol that works! My sister and her family left yesterday. I'm monopolied and yahtzeed out! Glad to get back into my protocol routine. It's been better but no significant losses. Actually .5# gain. I'm not worried though because I was going full force before Christmas. I sailed through Thanksgiving like a Champ. I didn't really see any gain until Dec. 26th. Then I had trouble refocusing. It will even be easier to do a steak day now, without the distractions… Continue

12/30 Wt. 188# Still up 5.5#s from LIW

All I can say is that I would never try to diet over the holidays ever again. It has dragged me down a bit. Even though I don't have any parties going on, there are the leftovers. I did give the remainder of the cookies and candies to my sister and her family from Mississippi, who is here over the holidays. I don't have them to snack on any longer. So that is good!! I have been on phase 3 for a little over a week and haven't really given it a chance but am very excited to get back on track. Continue

12/27 188#s Gained 2.5#s more. A total of 5.5# gain over the Holidays!

Now I'm up 5.5#s over my LIW. I have to admit, I was shocked at the scale and it left me breathless when I saw the numbers. I walked out of the bathroom numb. I wouldn't tell my hubby, only that I stayed the same..... I am going to do another steak day today but I've been advised to nibble on small protein snacks instead of starving all day and only a medium steak to a total of 700 calories for the day. I don't remember Dr. Simeon's saying anything about 700 calories for the steak day, but I've… Continue

12/26 Wt. 185.5#s. Up 2.5#s from 12/25.

We had hosted Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Christmas Day was extremely hard. I lost it on this day. We take turns so next year I won't have to host both. Tried to do the steak day this day and failed miserably. I had a day without food until 6pm and then had a huge org. sirloin steak with an apple. Then I went for the leftovers and everything else I won't mention. Continue
