So, I was originally going to try to stay on HCG (in P2) for the duration of my weight loss. However, I changed my mind and am now entering P3. Today I took my drops in the morning and haven't taken any more since. So, my weight from this morning is now considered my LDW (Last Drops Weight or the weight I was when I last took drops... for those doing injections, it's referred to as LIW). I've lost almost 43 pounds in the 50 days. Nearly 48 pounds lost if you count the weight I gained from loading (which I do, as you know from my first post). Woo Hoo!! I think that's pretty good. =) And I managed to do the entire 50 days without cheating once!! I'm pretty impressed with my willpower. =)
From today, I have to remain on the 500 calorie diet (without drops) for 3 days and then I can increase my caloric intake to around 1200-1500. No sugars or starches but I can have cheese again!! I miss cheese!! =) And there are so many cheesy recipes for P3 that I really want to try... I can't wait!! =) I'll be sure to let you know all about them and what I think of them when I have them.
The hardest part of this diet is being around people who are NOT on it and who aren't extremely considerate of what I can and cannot eat... For the most part, they try to hide the sweets that they have but since we all use the same kitchen, I usually find the sweets fairly easily. Also, since I've been losing weight, my Dad has decided he's going to go on a diet (not HCG but a lower calorie diet than what he had been eating). Well, he sucks at sticking to his diet. I try to encourage him but it's hard because he's constantly trying to negotiate with me as to what he can eat.... "Just one more handful of peanuts..." He has also become a sugar addict, it seems like, because he has to have the sweets that the rest of the family hides from me. His lack of commitment is pretty discouraging as well. But I'm sticking to this. Hopefully for the long haul. I plan to stick it out until I've lost all the weight I want to. I've joined MyFitnessPal.com and made some HCG friends on there who help to encourage me and I'm also a part of a private HCG group on Facebook and the people in that group are really encouraging as well. The Facebook group is having a meet-up in Las Vegas in June. It would be kind of fun to go... but I have so much to lose, I doubt I'll want to show off my new self at that point. =)
Well, that's all for now. I'll check back soon. =)
