Here is a very short video that I made for my end of round 1 results! I hope you enjoy it! HCG is truly amazing!!!
Everything has been going well, but I reached a decision on VLCD 58. I started craving bacon because my husband had been cooking it in the mornings. The smell was driving me crazy! lol. I decided to go ahead and end this round. My LDW (last dosage weight) was on VLCD 57 at 175.0 lbs even. This will be my goal to maintain on phase 3 until I start round 2. My total weight lost for Round 1 is officially 26.6 lbs in 57 VLCD days.

In this video, I talk about the decision that I made to end my first round of hcg. I talk about my plans for round 2. I plan to do phase 3 for only 3 weeks (supposed to be 6 weeks between rounds!) and jump back in on Round #2 on 8/17/2010. The reason why I decided to do this is because I haven’t done a full round with REAL hcg yet, so I think that I will do just fine! Also, my friend, mr hcgbaldfatman on YouTube is starting a 25 lb challenge on 8/17. The challenge will be to lose 25 lbs in 40 days! Or, if you have less weight to lose, you can do 17 lbs in 25 days or whenever you make your goal weight. The challenge is on Facebook. The link is located here. I think that I can definitely do a 3 week phase 3 and jump back in to do this challenge!
I also talk about myself and the past diets that I have tried. They were too numerous to list, so I didn’t include several others that I tried, including: Susan Powter’s Stop the Insanity, Suzanne Somers, Butter Busters, and a few others!
Today, I talk about what I learned about the dreaded “constipation” word again. Also, I discuss what I used for tennis the night before… Electro-Mix by the makers of Emergen-C. It works AWESOME!! I use a double dose. 2 packets per one liter of water. I went through 2 liters of water last night and 4 packets of Electro-Mix. Woo! It worked great!! It has no calories, either! I talk about a little bit of frustration at the end of my video. If you are my friends, and you are reading this… sorry, but we all have times of frustration. It’s just a fact of life. It’s hard when people around us don’t notice that we have lost weight or that we don’t exist. I don’t like that feeling at all. We need to talk about our feelings and learn to work through it. People need to know that we are only human, and everybody goes through some major emotions when dieting. Enjoy!

Starting Weight: 201.6
Today’s Weight: 175.2
Overnight Gain/Loss: -1.6
REAL HCG: 166 IU 2x daily under the tongue (Switched over from homeopathic on VLCD 44)
My weight is going back down! Hurray! Maybe all of the mistakes that I made this week are starting to correct themselves. Like I said yesterday, I messed with my dosage 4 days ago. I think that caused me to have headaches, fatigue, and fluctuations on the scale. Let’s see what happens this week!
I drank my gallon of water yesterday and added back in my 4 tablespoons of coconut oil in my chocolate bark. I also drank two warm cups of flavored tea last night.
For lunch, I had grilled chicken, asparagus, strawberries, and a breadstick.
For dinner, I ate chili made with 96% lean ground beef, tomatoes, and onion. I ate a breadstick with it. It was really good!
I drank my usual gallon of water.

NOT happy today! I had a 1.8lb gain over night! Holy cow! I dropped my coconut oil for two days, lowered my water slightly to 3 liters yesterday, and I dropped my 2nd fruit last night. hmmmm…….
I have definitely made a few mistakes. I started real HCG ony 9 days ago using 133IU 2 x daily sublingual). I decided to just go ahead and up the dosage 3 days ago to 166 IU 2x daily sublingual. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do. I felt tired and had a headache all day long yesterday. I woke up this morning still feeling exhausted, and the headache started again! ugh! I felt a headache after starting the real HCG, so now, I’m thinking that the higher dosage is causing this again! good grief!
I really hope that I’m not reaching immunity. boo hoo! I have about a week’s worth of real hcg left, and I don’t want to waste it. If this doesn’t pass by the end of next week, then I will be forced to go to phase 3. I’m really holding out and hoping that maybe I can make it to 70 days or so. I don’t know if that’s going to happen, though. Only time will tell!
I decided to start taking a few potassium pills today. I took one pill after lunch and one after dinner. I’ve been having a little bit of twitching in my muscles lately. It’s not real bad, but it’s kind of annoying. I’m not sure if it’s potassium or magnesium. I’ve taken some magnesium, so I’m going to try the potassium for now.
Starting Weight: 201.6
Today’s Weight: 176.8
Overnight Gain/Loss: +1.8 (GRRRRRR!!!)
REAL HCG: 166 IU 2x daily under the tongue (Switched over from homeopathic on VLCD 44)
Lean Beef Chili with Strawberries and Breadstick
I had an awesome chili for my lunch today! I mixed my veggies! Not on protocol. oooohhhhh….. Anyway, the chili contains some chopped onion and tomatoes, lean ground beef, and seasonings. I ate it with a very small side of strawberries and a breadstick. It was such a nice change from my normal boring routine!
Eye of Round Steak, Grilled Onions, and Breadstick
I had an early dinner tonight. Our church services changed their times, so I ate dinner around 5:20pm. I made a grilled eye of round steak, grilled onions, and a breadstick.
Later this evening, I drank two cups of hot tea.

Just a warning: I look like TOTAL crud in this video! I don’t hide anything from people! I really don’t care what people think because I think everyone should see the good, the bad, and the ugly! lol. I had a big gain overnight, plus I’m experiencing some massive headache again.
(Side note: Since recording this video, I know now that it was from upping my dosage of real hcg. I experienced pregnancy symptoms all over again! It passed about two days later!)

So, I’m up .2 of a pound today. Boo! Oh well, this is not a bad fluctuation. I didn’t realize that I slightly overate my calories yesterday. I’m going to cut out one fruit and only have it during lunch. I don’t know if that will help with the weight loss or not. I’ve been a bit disappointed so far with the real HCG. It does take about 6 days to get into your system, though. On VLCD 50 (2 days ago), I went ahead and upped my dosage to 166IU 2x daily sublingual. Today, I’m feeling tired and I had a massive headache all day long today!
Lean Hamburger, Green Apples, Tomatoes, Breadstick
My lunch consisted of a lean hamburger patty, green apple slices, tomatoes, and a breadstick. Simple and filling!
Chicken Breast, Tomatoes, Breadstick
For dinner, I skipped my fruit and had a lean chicken breast with tomatoes and a breadstick. I will probably skip my 2nd fruit for a while.
