Well it's been a few day's since I've posted. I'm currently at 156.6 pounds and have 2 full days left before starting week 6! I'm hoping to continue with losses of an average .5 - .6 a day to hopefully be in the mid 140's before ending the VLC days. If I can do that, I think I can do the rest on my own and not need to do another round. Lets just hope for a good stabilization period!
I'm wondering, since I never had an issue with gaining and could eat anything if I can keep myself active if I'll be able to get back to something similar. I don't mean eat as much as I want or anything like that but to not have any sensitivities to foods and am able to eat the foods I enjoy without a drastic effect from them. I'm thinking/hoping as long as I can keep my activity (gym) up along with water intake and watch my portions/servings I can maintain and loss to get to my goal of 125 - 130 by Oct 12th! If I maintain and don't lose during phase 3 and start losing in phase 4, I'll have 7 weeks to lose and with a healthy average of 2-3 pounds of lose a week that would give me 14-21 I can lose and be okay. So if I end this round (phase 2) at 147 and stay there through phase 3 (3 weeks) that would give me 7 weeks to be between 126-133, that would be great!!!! I know though since I haven't been there in about 8-9 years this may be hard and since it will be close to my goal weight/suggested weight this could be challenging and losses may not be 2-3 pounds, I'll just see what happens and go from there... One day at a time!!! But it is great to know that my goal is completely reachable at this rate! Worse case, I do a short round starting (loading) on my birthday and finish in time for phase 3 to end around Thanksgiving.
Well that's all I really have, I've found that Hy-Vee has the Walden Farms products so I got a few of them tonight along with the zevia pop. Also, the meat locker sales lean ground beef ($3/lb cheaper) and Hy-Vee carries the 95/5 $2 cheaper than Whole Foods and our farmer's market in town is picking up so I may not have to do the KC trips much if at all anymore, save more money, YAY!!!
I CAN/AM DOING THIS!!!!

Day 29
Well it's the first day of week 5!!! 3 Full weeks left to go... I'm over half way through phase 2. Well I was still at 158.2 today, I'm probably going to do an apple day tomorrow if there isn't a loss still.
After reading posts on the hcgdiet forum, there are mixed things about it and even Dr S's protocol says you can do it but its more a mind game then it actually helps with anything. Stalls basically happen in the second half of the phase due to your body "reshaping" and catching up to the losses, I have lost 3" from yesterday even though their wasn't a weight loss so maybe it is okay after all. If I see a difference (positive) on the scale tomorrow, I'll skip the apple day but if it doesn't change or goes up, I'm doing the apple day. I'm only down 16.8 pounds since starting 29 days ago and that's after 4 weeks or 27 days of VLCD. That's averaging a loss of .57 pounds a day which is still above or within the average and I was at .6 pounds a day average so I guess I'm still there. At that average and doing this for 21 more days, I'm hoping I will really be down another 10 pounds before going into phase 3. That will put me in the 140's!!!! After that, I would think I should be able to lose the last pounds on my own between eating right and the gym and getting very close to 125-130 by my 30th birthday in Mid October as that will give me 2 months after maintenance phase to lose and at a healthy loss of 2-3" a week that would be 16-21 pounds healthy I can possibly lose. After doing this much discipline for 50 days, I think I can manage a couple of months of eating better and working out. So hopefully, I can get to at least 148 by the time I finish VLCD in 24 days.
Well since stats and ticker are the same, I won't be adding them again today.
I CAN DO THIS!!!!

Day 28
2nd day without a loss, I guess it's better than a gain. I only lost 3 pounds this week, not happy about that. Today was the last day of week 4 and I've lost a total of 16.8 pounds and 22 inches since starting the drops.
I tried shrimp for the first time yesterday, definitely not my thing. The texture is just horrible to me, crunchy and bubbly at the same time. Next time I will try it in the stuffed tomato recipe and see if it chopped up helps the texture to be better.
I've been drinking at least the 4 bottles of water a day as required and eating protocol but must have hit my first stall and/or this is the weight I held for a while and I need to get through this rut and I'll start losing again. If I don't lose by Wednesday, I'm going to do an apple day and hope that helps, an apple day may be a little hard though. TOM is getting ready to start next week also, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Well at this point, I have nothing more to say.
I won't update my signature since it hasn't changed since the last time.
Stats: well since I've only lost 2" this week and 3 pounds there is no point in putting the stats again today, they haven't changed much since 2 days ago.
