I am doing this to keep track for myself. I don't know if anyone will read it but that is ok. If it does help someone....great.
Needless to say I am overweight. As I describe it I am Biggest Loser big. I lost 60 lbs about 5 years ago and slowly, at first, gained it back. This past year my husband had quite a few medical problems and I am a stress eater...so now I am bigger than I have ever been.
I went to my OB/GYN last Oct. I had put it off for 3 years because of my weight and I was sortof ashamed. Anyway he had started to prescribe the HCG diet but told me he didn't think I wasn't ready due to all the medical issues and to let him know when I was.
I realized he was right but aroung Christmas I decided I was ready and went in.
I started the loading on Jan 1 and started the 500 calorie a day diet on the
3rd. Everyone said if you can get thru the first week you have it made. Well I never felt hungry. I found it easy to stay on it. I actually feel better on it than before. Getting rid of the sugar has really helped. I do feel like I have more energy than before.
I don't want to know what I weigh because it will just depress me so I am going in once a week to weigh. I went in Jan 11th and had lost 12 lbs
This past week I stuck to it but have had bronchitis so it has been a little harder. But I went in this morning and have lost 5 more pounds.
I have an old friend who's daughter is getting married in Oct and my goal is to lose enough weight that I can go to the wedding and not be embarrassed.
I think I will keep posting on this to sort of use it as a blog/diary. Heres to another week.
Best wished to everyone on this board. Keep up the good work.
