It's Tuesday morning and the scale says 215.6 so I'm at the same weight for 3 days in a row which sounds like a stall, but really that is typical for the protocol. During weight stalls, the body is losing inches. Dr. Simeons manuscript is aptly titled "Pounds and Inches". Weight is lost in a stairstep manner. I just need to drink the water and stay the course and it will come off.
Yesterday's menu was strawberry smoothie, tea with moo and stevia, chicken and spinach salad, 3 grissinis, 1 bite (1/6) of an Atkins bar (CHEAT). Okay I had my first cheat. I was avoiding homemade cookies brought in by a coworker and it was making me crazy, so I figured this was the lesser of two evils. For dinner, fish and tomato soup and strawberries with 1 T chocolate dipping sauce (1 T no sugar Hersheys cocoa with chocolate stevia and water - off protocol.)
I am having my TOM and I suppose this may be contributing to some emotional food cravings. Hormones are a problem for me. I stopped the progesterone during TOM but maybe I should continue it.
Losing 100 pounds is not an easy process. But HCG has changed everything for me. My first round I lost 23 pounds and dropped 2 sizes in six weeks. In Round 2 I lost 19 pounds and dropped 3 more sizes. I went from a size 24 to a 14! I will start Round 3 in May 2011 and I can't wait to lose another 20. I blog about my daily meals and how I feel on the HCG and also after HCG how I stabilize and maintain at my new lower weight. I also have links to recipes and describe how to do the HCG protocol.
