First Week – 10 lbs. Lost! [Belina's HCG Journey]

Feb 23rd2011

Hello fellow fat fight fighters. Welcome to the rest of your healthy, lighter lives! I personally have tried so many different weight loss products, it’s staggering how little weight i didn’t lose but how much money I have spent, only to fail, fail, fail. I finally stumbled across YourHCG.com , I was VERY skeptical, but I read the discussion boards researched it and read the pound and inches book. I figured it was worth a try,...

Wahoo, that’s more like it, 1.6 lbs gone forever!!! Today, I went to the grocery store and bought some shrimp and London broil. I didn’t get a chance to marinate the London broil so I grilled some shrimp on the George Foreman Grill with juice from half a lemon and garlic powder. Fourteen days and all I’ve been eating for my protein is chicken! I’m not a big seafood or fish fan so I was a little apprehensive about the shrimp...

Nervous Wreck

With less than one week to go before I start I am struck with many different feelings. I am excited to start this new chapter in my life, I am nervous about how well I can handle it as I am a perpetual snacker. But when I really think about it I am reassured that I can do it. I have made it this far in my life dealing with things much harder than this and I have decided that I have had enough! I am sick of not being able to find fashionable...

Seriously, only 0.2 lbs today.  That’s it, I’m off to get some London broil, I need to suck it up and mix my protein.  Since the beginning of my VLCD I’ve only had chicken, but prepared different ways.  I made white chicken chili from the blog site and it was delicious. Another thing I need to keep in mind, I am ovulating, so that is probably another factor.  Today overall was a good day, I did struggle a bit mentally with the...

Well I only lost .4 lbs on the scale, bummed but I know there will be days like that.  I just need to remember I can’t be too upset, I haven’t  stalled yet.  Boy, I hope I didn’t just jinx myself.  When I look back at yesterday, I think I drank too much coffee, even though I had a ton of water, more then I usually drink, and maybe my radish portion was a little too big.  I’m going to change and eat salad and chicken today. ...

I did it!!!  I broke 150, I am not even sure the last time my weight was in the 140’s, I’ve always hovered between 150 before Bryson.  I’m so excited.  Let the day begin.  No bowel movement today, and I felt a little hungry in the afternoon but again I think it was out of being “house happy” & being in the house most of the day.  I drank a TON of water, we’ll see how that helps tomorrow on the scale.  The Detox Bath...

We were snowed in today, which did test me mentally with snacking but I succeeded.  I took another detox bath last night to help with the agitated feelings.  Today was the first day, I felt like man I have to do this for how long…which means my body is telling me I’m getting bored with my food options and need to mix it up.  Yesterday I drank as much water as I could possibly hold & I have seen my weight loss increase to over a...

Well when I woke up on the scale I was bummed, .2 lbs didn’t seem that great, especially with the previous numbers I had been pulling.  I know that it will happen and sometimes even stalling even happens… just say a tough pill to swallow, but I’m going to keep moving on.  Today, I didn’t have as much coffee, still ate chicken but tried to change up my vegetables.  I had the melba delight (sliced tomatoes, chicken, oregano &...

Well today was a true test of my willpower.  We brought Bryson to a matinee and instantly when we walked into the theater the smell of popcorn hit me.  Jeremy and Bryson ate it in front of me and I never caved in!!  Big PAT ON MY BACK!  I have had so many times in the past when I overindulge in those situations and afterwards feel like “What have I done?” It was a great feeling to know I did not succumb to temptation!  Overall it...

I felt good today, actually didn’t finish my dinner, I wasn’t hungry.  I didn’t eat either fruits today, I hope that doesn’t hurt me tomorrow on the scale.  I did drink 2 ACV drinks and so far 10 glasses of water.  I tried the onion ring recipe tonight from the HCG Blog, and it was good!  I tried on some old summer clothes that I wasn’t able to wear since getting pregnant.  Several items fit, it gives me that extra push to...

I woke up this morning with a headache again, but my hunger was gone.  I drank two cups of green tea, took two aspirin and started feeling better.  By mid afternoon I started feeling like my old self again, energy was back, not nauseated, no lingering icky feeling.   Today was a good day.  By dinner time I had to force myself to eat dinner, I wasn’t hungry.  By dinner I hadn’t had any fruit either but decided I should so I had 1...

headache

There’s no other way to put it, this day sucked!  I woke up with a headache and as soon as I jumped on the scale I started getting nauseated, dizzy…just feeling plain lousy.  I didn’t want to eat something right away in the morning I had some acv, coffee, & then finally green tea.  The green tea seemed to help so I had a second cup.  I “barely” made it through the day, at one point I broke down and had two aspirin and that...

Well today was tougher then yesterday, felt hungry all day, few hunger pains & it finally went away after my dinner and snack.   I actually had a boost of energy in the evening and was able to feel “normal” and have a little dance party with Bryson.  I know it’s early but I can actually see a slight change in my face already.  I have more defined cheekbones again!  WILLPOWER, wow, don’t fail me now…I’ve got to keep this...

Well before I went to bed last night I weighed in at 164.9, and this morning 161.8.  I was thrilled but then a little nervous because it made me think maybe I didn’t load properly.  To my surprise, today went extremely well, I felt empty but not hungry, my stomach didn’t growl even!  The only difficult time I had was this morning drinking the ACV cocktail, it really did a number on my stomach and the after taste was horrible.  Later...

weight loss

Everyone is right, loading is much harder than I thought.  Eating so much food & the type of food has given me a mild headache, extremely bloated & I feel just gross…and I still feel like I might have not loaded enough.  We’ll find out I guess.  I weighed myself just now and I’m at 164 so I did gain.  I’m anxious to get started tomorrow, I just hope I can follow the protocol to a “T”.   I have a timer I use to...

Good Morning World, I’m ready!!!  I wasn’t too disappointed with my weight this morning, knowing I was going on this diet, I “indulged” a bit more the days leading up to this journey.  Actually, when I got pregnant with Bryson I was hovering between 155 & 160 lbs, due to the holidays and several parties.  I was actually “heavy” for me at the time I conceived Bryson.  My weight now though is a different 160 lbs,...
