About Me:
I am a paralegal and part time dance instructor. I'm doing the Simeons Weight Loss Protocol to lose 30 lbs that I gained while sick last year. I was bedridden for 8 months with Epstein Barr.

Prior to starting P2, I converted my household over to natural, toxin-free products -- including personal products, cleaners, kitchen utensils (pots, pans, plastics, etc.).

I also weaned myself from 5 medications -- 2 of which were anti-depressant/anti-anxiety meds. The site I used was incredible -- www.theroadback.org -- and I did it with almost NO side effects.

My typical diet is about 50% gluten free (voluntarily), about 50-75% organic and raw. I rarely eat out and, aside from the occasional splurge, the only "sugar" I consume daily is 70% dark chocolate.

My goal is to be 130 lbs (or less) by April 30th. But my ultimate goal is to be whatever the right weight is for my frame. Having dieted in the past, albeit successfully at times, I've developed painful feet and joints and "problem areas". That is why I chose this diet. I want to lose from the problem areas and evenly distribute my weight over my frame. The other reason is because, despite an impeccable diet, huge lifestyle changes and dancing 10+ hrs/week, the weight I gained from being sick simply wouldn't budge. After reading Kevin Trudeau's book, I realized that it wasn't "regular weight" from overeating or eating bad foods.

So wish me luck! 130 by April 30, 2008!!!
Favorite Music:
I'm a dancer so I like almost anything I can dance to!
Favorite Books
I admit it...I love to devour easy reads by James Patterson and John Grisham.

Right now I'm reading "Conversations With God" by Neale Walshe.

Day 11 - 156 (Gained 1.5 lbs - 12 lbs total)

INJECTION: Small pink...right thigh CONDITION: Still a little tired when I got up this morning – went to bed later than planned, around 1045pm. CAN’T BELIEVE I GAINED! Was it from the tbsp of milk in my coffee? Was it from the soup? Either way, I’m going back to basics again today. Note: I had horrible stomach and bowel cramps today! I was also incredibly tired and lethargic. Wonder if my exhaustion over the last 2 days is due to not being regular. Everything else is the same and my diet is as… Continue

Day 9 - 155.5 (Lost 2 lbs -- 12.5 total)

Day 8 - 157.5 lbs (Gained 1 -- 10.5 total)

INJECTION: Small pink...left thigh CONDITION: I woke up at 2am and couldn’t go back to sleep! This is the first time my sleep has been interrupted. I went to bed hungry, with a bad headache, around 10pm. I woke up hungry with a headache. I’m not sure why, but I can only assume its because of the lack of food yesterday. And I only skipped dinner! What...200 calories? I read more about how the diet puts you on the verge of protein deficiency and you are only ok because your body is burning the fa… Continue

Hi Jessica,
I am sorry I did not get back to you; I am just now seeing your message; I have been away from the computer for over a month. We went to South Carolina, then to Tennessee, etc. and then saw our son in law off to Iraq. I am just now able to get back to the computer and answer my mail.

Have you had your HCG questions answered? How are you doing now? Did you do phase one as best you could? Doing phase one as best you can also helps with the hunger issue. And, I will assume you gorged the first two days of phase two. That is also very important.
Nope, I wouldn't eat any starch, like the organic melba toast; I really believe it will cause a stall in weight loss.
I really apologize for not being able to get back to you; I've been away for so long I feel like a stranger now!!LOL
I really hope that you are doing great on the HCG. Please let me know of your progress. Now that I'm back on, I'll help you all that I can.
I started a paralegal program a couple years ago, but decided to finish up my bachelors degree; now I wish I had finished the paralegal program.
Good luck to you; hope you met your goal and that phase three is going well for you. Keep in touch!!

Like everything the 5HTP worked for a while with him but doesn't work as well long term. He really has issues with anger and agitation.

So have u found anything else to try?

hey jessica! did u ever get info on an alternative to the hcg or almased? i was just getting ready to order the hcg, but then started getting concerned with my cancer history. i've been reading in blogs that although it may not cause cancer, doctor's will ask patients before giving the prescription if they have a history of cancer. this scares me, cuz i do. I need to lose this weight once and for all, though. i've struggled my whole life this way and thought for sure this would be the cure for me. now i don't know what i'm going to do! any help?

Oh, forgot to ask how you are doing it is getting closer to the 30th. I am still waiting for my shots to come.

Wondering what you take for antidepressants now. My husband uses 5HTP.
