Still Haven't Cheated!

I didn't realize a week had gone by since my last post.  Wow.  Anyway, I had ordered some new HCG from Meridian Health Labs about a week and half to two weeks ago and I got it.  I took it for 5 or more days and I barely lost any weight.  It was disheartening.  I have 3 more bottles of my original HCG (but I bought them a few years ago, so I thought newer HCG would be better) from Mediral (called HCG Detox).  I went back to using it yesterday and today I had a 1.8 pound loss.  I love my old HCG.  Yesterday I also read that if you hit a plateau, one thing you can do is take 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and mix it with some water, then drink it.  They said not to take small amounts throughout the day but to get it all over with at one time (not like chugging it or anything, just drink it normally), so that's what I did.  I don't know if that helped with my weight loss but I'm going to try to drink that every day, just because I've read it's good for you and your digestion.  I don't know if it's the reason why I've been bumiting all day today or what, but I have been.  Fun, huh?  OK, so only two times (and I think I'll be doing it again soon) but still.

I still haven't cheated on my diet or anything.  So far I've lost 26.6 pounds (that includes my two load days...  without those two days, I've only lost 22 pounds, but I prefer to go with the higher number).  If I hadn't started taking that crappy Meridian Health Labs brand of HCG, I probably would have lost more!  Grrr.  Anyway, I've learned my lesson.  I just need to find out if I can get my money back on the ones that I didn't open (two bottles and a shake mix!!)  I joined a group on Facebook for HCG users (it's private, so you can only join if you're invited) and a lot of them like Meridian's HCG pellets but not many of them have tried the drops.  I've been trying to find out from others where they buy their HCG because I know I'm going to need more eventually - especially since I have about 190 pounds to lose (although, now it's only like 160 pounds I have to lose!  =)

Last night my Mom took some "before" pictures of me.  For future reference (and for future photos) I was wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top and black shorts.  So, I'll try to wear the same (or similar) outfit for my other photos to come.  Eventually I may even share my "before" photo with others.  But for now, I'm keeping my fatness a secret (well, as much as a morbidly obese person can keep their fatness a secret).
