HCG R2P2D24 199.0 = 21 lbs Released

Well I broke through the 200's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So this is what the 100's feel like? HAHAHA!

Im determined to lose another 4 pounds by Wednesday!!!! This is my goal! Why? Well here is my strategy.

Last round I lost 26 pounds. I want to PROVE that it can be done 2 rounds in a row. So much is said about how your second and third rounds of HCG may not be as successful. I disagree completely. I truly believe that if you take a 3 week break in between rounds you will have equal success.

The problem is..... I can think of 3-4 instances on this last round where I messed up:

1. Four times I can clearly remember barely drinking 1 liter of water for my days consumption.
2. I was using a Mexican Chile Salt product for half of the program not realizing it had sugar.
3. I ate salmon one day. I COMPLETELY forgot it is a FORBIDDEN FISH!!! Yikes!
4. I used sugar free Coffee Creamer for three mornings. It has oils... =-(

Now in spite of all that I still have awesome weight loss BUT I'm basically the guinnea pig for all my clients. I want to make sure I am encouraging you and setting a good example.

So for these last few days of the program I am going to be so careful and strict with myself. No more lazy attitudes!

Wish me luck!

HCG Day 21 of R1P3 - 215.3 total release 26 lbs

Okay so if you haven't noticed I have changed the way I title my posts. I'm trying to make them a little more understandable LOL.

For "newbies" to the HCG lingo here are a few translations:
R1P3 - translation - Round 1 Phase 3
VLCD - Very Low Calorie Diet
R1D21P3 - translation - Round 1 Day 21 of Phase 3, so for instance I have been on the protocol for 51 days (2 days phase 1 + 28 days of phase 2 + 21 days of phase 3 = 51 total days on the protocol.
T.O.M. = Time Of Month

Well enough of that little lesson.

I am still doing well. Today is day 3 of "T.O.M's" visit and I haven't gained any water weight but perhaps I have gained a pound but it doesn't really seem like it since I lost 2 more pounds last week.

So today on the www.HCGDietConnection.com website we have added a 65 page recipe book FREE. Come visit the site today!

HCG Day 12 - 213.6!!!! 28.0 lbs released R1P3

Little High Little Low!

What a ride this has been.... First I want to say that I feel like I don't really know my body anymore. I lost another 2 pounds. I'm not really trying to. I have actually been a little skittish about what I am eating. I think that when something seems too good to be true you sort of expect the bottom to fall out or to wake up and realize that the 28 pounds you have lost was just a dream! That is some real stinkin' thinkin!

I am making this portion of the protocol what I think it's supposed to be. I am eliminating starches and sugars. That being said, I don't believe I am supposed to eliminate ALL Carbs. I have eliminated Complex Carbs (starches). Basically I dont eat bread, grains, potato, and pastas.

I have been doing my best to stay away from all those obviously sugary foods. I do know that I have made a couple of mistakes when it comes to salad dressings. Basically my diet is protien and vegetables only.

I am doing my best to continue drinking my required water intake and my morning and afternoon fruits. I also have atleast 12oz. of green tea everyday.

I know some of the most satisfying food I eat is cheese but I try to remember that cheese is high in fat so I try to keep that as a snack once a day.

Struggle:
I DO want to have carbs. I know I am craving them. It is not an out of control craving BUT I do have to make myself "step away from the spaghetti Misty and no one gets hurt!" I think I am doing okay as far as sweets go. Would I like to eat some of those Valentines chocolates that were making their way around here yesterday? Yes! But....

I also am wondering if I am protien deficient. I am CRAVING meat like crrrazy. When I do I have a handful of nuts, or cheese, or some chicken breast and snack. That pretty much satisfies.

Mornings are hard for me. I DON'T KNOW WHY????!!!! I was never really a big breakfast eater much less anything more than a fruit or bowl of cereal. Now I really want the POWER BREAKFAST! Eggs, meat and toast! I have been trying to satisfy my morning hunger with fresh fruit and non-fat yogurt but I still feel lacking. Oh well...

Thanks you all for all the orders starting to come in to my little company. What is even more exciting are the results that are starting to come in. Congratulations Ashleigh, Mary, Lori! Keep it up!

Soooo Helloo Everybody Again! So here's the skinny on things!

Im so excited to say that I am in day 8 of Phase 4 which is maintenance and I am actually maintaining! I finished my last day on HCG at 214 but when I finished Phase 3, which is 3 days VLCD no HCG I was at 215. I still am at my goal weight which was to see if I could do the 26 pounds in 26 days and we all know THAT happend!

In response to all of you that have been asking me to post my own pictures and measurements I WILL. I promise! Busy, Busy, Busy! I have been taking care of my mom who has had knee surgery (and by the way is also doing HCG Sublingual). Not to mention I am a homeschooling mom a budding entrepeneur!

For now I am sharing my daughter Ashleighs before and after picture. She actually lost 28 pounds in 28 days. By next post I promise to have my pictures!

Don't forget to visit me on the web at www.HCGDietConnection.com

Thank you all so much for all your support!

HCG Day 20 - 220.6!!!! 21.0 lbs released R1P2

Helllllooooo Again!

It's been about 2 weeks since my last post SO sorry! =-(

Let me catch you up on my EXCITING journey. I have learned a lot from this experience and all the research I have been doing. So first things first.....

The Diet:
I have not cheated! Yeah really pretty amazing huh? I have had days when I didn't drink enough water or took my drops incorrectly. For the ladies, I didn't know that it is beneficial to start the protocol just after your menstrual cycle ends. I began my menstrual cycle a week and a half into phase 1, day 11 to be exact. Well I can at least tell you what to expect should you find yourself in this same predicament. My cycle usually last 7 days. During that time I had 3 days in which I stalled, then on day 4, I gained 1 pound. On day 5 I released that pound and I didn't begin losing again until the day after my cycle ended. Up until that point I had lost 17 pounds. The day after my menstrual cycle ended was Day 18 and I released 1 lb, on Day 19 I releases 1 lb and then today Day 20 I released 2 MORE POUNDS!!!!! YAY!

This is a big day for me, I have lost 10% of my weight and I have hit my first goal of 20 pounds, 21 pounds to be exact. I'm very proud of myself and thankful for God's help in keeping me disciplined.

I still cook everyday for my family and for myself. THIS is one of my greatest challenges ESPECIALLY since I love food and I love to cook! I taste as I go and so it can be hard to put dinner out there when I'm not sure if I have seasoned it correctly. BUT I have used this time to bring my kids into the kitchen more than ever before. This not only keeps me accountable but it teaches them how to cook too!

I can honestly say that at this point I am kinda bored with cooking the same ingredients. Even though I have become very creative and really do enjoy most of what I prepare I am just bored with the same limited ingredients. I DO NOT MIX VEGETABLES AT ALL!!! I say that because many protocols out there allow mixing. They even allow salsa. I really want to finish well and without doubt that I have done everything to the best of my ability.

Another reason I want to stay true is that I have decided to open my own Homeopathic HCG website. I will offer mentoring, recipes, tips, and HCG! This whole opportunity just fell into my lap. I have begun selling bottles and it's flying off the shelves! I am my own walking billboard and so are my clients, sooooo wish me well! You can find me at www.HCGDirectConnection.com.

Having said that, you can all see why I have been so busy but I promise I will be blogging more steadily from now on!

See ya later,
Misty

HCG Day Four 234.6!!!! -2.2 lbs R1P2

Triple WOWIEEE!

How's that for a cool hat trick? Im sooo psyched!
Here are some things I am noticing:

• I am still pretty hungry by lunch BUT as long as I take my drops on time I'm actually still pretty good til dinner.
• I am being militant about my water intake! Even though I have about 4 cups of green tea a day I dont count that towards my 2 liters per day even though you can, I don't.
• I DO use balsamic vinegar atleast on one meal a day. I KNOW many people out there will tell me that I'm not supposed to but while my daughter was on HCG she used balsamic and she lost over 20 lbs so I'm cool with that.
• My stomach is defianately re-shaping. I'm not certain if this is due to it being alot more empty or if as many say thats where you lose first. Who knows? I don't care! I'm just lovin' it!
• I am always thirsty now even to the point of not being able to swallow comfortably because my throat is so dry. Let me preface this by saying that this is not uncommon for me whenever I attempt to increase my water intake. I think it might be because I am so dehydrated because I never drink enough water that when my body begins to get what it needs it wants more and more.... this may not make sense but it's what happens to me atleast.
• I'm getting that feeling you get when your arms don't automatically touch your waist feeling. Kinda cool.
• I'm noticing my face looks, I don't rosier? Prettier in the morning? Whatever it is I don't look so tired in the morning.

Im looking forward to coming up with more "HCG Approved" recipes and sharing them.

Can't wait to report tomorrow!

HCG Day Three 236.8!!!! -2.2 lbs 1/06/10 R1P2

Double Wow AGAIN!
I'm actually pretty surprised but I'm working on staying positive and expecting the best. Visualization is a gret tool so I am always imagining myself being active and healthy.

Since I am going to be selling HCG Sublingual drops I have been doing alot of research and I can't believe how many deviations out there on the basice protocol by Simeons. Simeone addresses the temptation to alter the diet and has said they have already tried to make this as attractive as they can and that using other vegetables other than the ones listed, even if they do have a lower calorie content, doesn't work in the long run.

My sister was sharing with me all the things her HCG protocol allows her to do that Simeons doesn't. I must say it definately looked more attractive...... BUT I made a commitment to not cheat on my protocol so that I can inspire others and relate to their struggles.

I guess I could be a kind of diet Jesus to them! LOL

Looking forward to tomorrow!
