HCG Diet Results_5

ARG... That's how this diet is going...
 
DAY 27 - WEIGHT 228.4

Okay, so lemme give you an update of the past three days. Today is Sunday, so let's go back to Friday, Sept 7th.

I woke up and found the scale at 233.6. I was really upset about this. I had gotten down to 230.2 and now had 3 lbs added to the scale. Thing is, I am aware that it was water weight, or at least figured it was mostly that. But still... I was really struggling to lose weight on this diet, and everyday is hard for me. 24 days into the diet and I'm still fighting the hunger issues and or boredom with what little choices there are to eat.

Oh, I should add that this was the forth day off the injections so technically I could start on the three week phase 3 diet plan. The day before I had just about decided to toss in the towel. However, I decided to talk to my friend who is also on the diet to see if she had any thoughts about why my weight was coming off so slowly and to see how much she had lost so far.

I dropped by her store and did not find it at all encouraging that she had lost 21.2 lbs so far. She started about 4 or 5 days after I did and she was already past me on the weight loss scale. :(

We chatted for a long time going over everything that I was doing. Finally, we came down to one conclusion... I was not drinking enough - water and tea. She was drinking a gallon of water and 2 cups of each of the three teas daily. I was only drinking half that.

So, Friday I spent the day trying my best to drink lots of tea and water. Friday and Saturday I drank a gal a day and lots of tea.

I stepped on the scale Sat. and had lost 3 lbs. So, back down to 230.2. Today I stepped onthe scale and lost another 2 lbs. I am encouraged to see another 2 lbs. I was actually thinking of quitting again if I did not see more weight loss as I'm really tired of this struggle. But seeing another 2 lbs has me encouraged to stick it out a little longer.

My goal weight loss for this session was to get down to 220. I have to say that I am not sure if I can stick to this until Sept. 19th, but I'm going to give it a good try. I will probably be much more encouraged to do so if I see another lb go in the next two days. I only have 10 days to go for the injections, 12 days on the 500 calorie diet. It would be very sweet to get to 220 in the next 12 days, but honestly, I don't really see that happening. I will be happy with 225.

Here's the thing... I've lost 15 lbs in just 27 days. That is really a good weight loss. I can't deny that. I would not be as disappointed if Kevin Trudeau book did not give us such high expectations with the pound a day weight loss. It could be partially my fault because of not drinking enough water and tea. If that is the case, then I should see some dramatic changes over the next week of drinking a gallon a day plus lots of tea.

I used to work for a lady that would exaggerate the truth beyond belief when it came to the products she endorsed. This is one reason why I hate MLM so much. It makes people lie about the results and one thing "ALWAYS" seems to come into the conversation - it cures cancer! That just makes me sick.

So, Kevin should do some research and see just what the true average is for women. Women do not lose as fast as men. He should also study the effects on people who have yo-yo dieted for years and years. That may also create a problem with the results. My body may very well be resistant against weight loss due to the many many times I've dieted over the past 25 years.

Okay, that's it for today. I'm going to go for a walk now. I haven't been walking for about a week. Mainly due to a new project I've started that requires me to work in the early morning and that is the only time to walk in this summer heat.

Talk to you in a few days...
