About Me:
I have struggled with my weight all of my life; a yo-yo'er; though as I got into my early 20's I was at a healthy weight with not much effort. Those were the days! Needless to say in 2002 that all changed and my body went crazy! I had a 60 lb weight gain in 4 months; my Dr. said I was simply depressed - about what - I had a great life, so I went through the depression meds with him and gained even more weight. Then in 2004 I was told I had PCOS in the worst way. And this led to so many other illnesses, as I had no immune system for about a year, so I was constantly sick and I was sick and tired of being sick! I tried so many avenues, various Dr.’s. endocrinologists, hormone specialist and then succumbed to the fact that a hysterectomy was the answer...well it wasn't and now I have the issue of not having estrogen and all of the fun issues that go along with it. I have been on high levels of thyroid meds and went off of them a month and a half ago as I started my new lifestyle. I am here to absorb as much as I can and become a new, healthier me, which will allow me to be a much better parent and role model for my children, as I do not want them to go through the ordeals that I have. I am in the process of changing our household to organic and let me tell you, it is a challenge with 2 teenagers that eat on the run, though they along with my tween daughter and my husband are all right by my side through these great changes. I am so exited about the impact this will have not only on my life but my families’ lives as well. So here is to the beginning of the rest of my life and good-bye to much useless baggage. Hears to your Health!

Rock'n on Day 15

10/05/2007

Lost another 2.4 lbs in 24 hours! Total Weight Loss To Date (drum roll please...) 15.2 from gorge days and 10.2 from start weight. Either way, I'll take the numbers...

Day 14

Day 14 - 220 lbs

10/04/07

Okay...so I totally fell off for a few days and gained 4 lbs back last week. Seeing the gain was so hard to stomach; though on Monday I got back on the protocol to the T and have lost the 4 lbs and 1 additional in 4 days, so I am pumped again. I am dissapointed in myself though for the set back and know I will not do it again, as I could have lost 5 to 7 lbs in those days rather than gaining the fabulous 4 that I did. With everything going on in our liv…

Day 7

Day 7

6 am - 221

Woo-hoo! I am so jazzed! Seeing these results makes it so worth it. I have lost 12 lbs from my gorge days and 7 from my original weight; in 7 days! I have never had results like this. I can't wait until day 20, well let's be honest day 44 is going to be fabulous! I am starting to really get into the swing of this and not having the feelings of "I want something to eat", which is out of habit, not hunger. Though I was soooo tempted this morning. I ran by Wild Oat…

Day 5 and forgot Shot...Help?

I did not take my shot this morning and will not be home to take it until after 6:30 this evening; do I just forgo the shot or can I take it that late? What effect will this have on my with the low cal diet today? Will I want to snap? Lol!

Day 5: 6 am weight 227.8

Yeah - I am down finally. I was having a rough first day on the low cal diet and blew it by the end of the day, I had made dinner for my family and out of habit, I taste tested as I made it and realized what I was doin…

Day 2 on HCG

Day 2: 6 am weight 231.6

Okay - 3.2 lbs gained - what? Looks as though I did eat enough yesterday. This is somewhat depressing to see that, but I am reminding myself this is the process; any other time I would flip at a 3.2 lbs gain in 24 hours. Didn't get in any exercise today, again. My life is so full, one of my daughetrs cheered tonight and the game went late, so I sit here dissappointed in myself and realizng I am doing this for me, to be healthy and that includes taking…

Hi Shannon,
I am on my third shot and the "dieting" starts today. My doctor giving me the prescription for the hcG is the one prescribing my bioidentical hormones and wants me to stay on them while doing the diet. I told her I would for two weeks if I wasn't losing weight then I would go off the meds. She couldn't understand why you would have to go off the "plant" made hormones (and also said everyone has hormones!)

I took my shot only hours ago and ate a small apple. I am getting a headache but I'll ignore it! My skin is dry - very dry. I am going to ignore that too!

Yes, I did do the Candida cleanse in Phase I and will have to continue it in Phase III. Then I will also do the rest. About all I did in Phase I other than the Candida cleanse was to purchase Organic foods and shampoos and conditioner and makeup etc.

Where are you at in your dieting regime? and how much do you need to lose?

Hi shannon! thanks for stopping by =). I'm doing good.... ummmmm.....I cheated last night. But I think it was a good thing. I could definintely taste the chemicals in the food and I felt so lethargic afterwards.... So now I know it really isn't worth it. I'm back on track this morning and doing good! =)

Shannon - how are you doing? Are you still on your diet? I was wondering how the "missed" shot affected you - if anything? Also, I noticed that you mixed the shots the night before. I read yesterday that the potency is depleted by the hour and by 24 hours it is gone. Did you notice any difference? I'm am starting today if my doctor calls me with the instructions. Plus she mailed me needles that will only hold 100 units and we are supposed to take 175 units - which means I'll have to shoot twice!!!

Let me know how your are doing!
