Thread: Come one come all, lets continue to share our journeys!!

Whoooo!! Way yo go Rusty!!! Nice job!

As for me....I'm going the right direction again. Woke up to a 2.8 lb loss. I'm hoping that will happen the next 3 days so I'll be back where i left off quickly. Pretty bummed I set myself back so much, but what is done is done I guess. Yesterday was probably the hardest day I've had yet as far as hunger goes...I just jumped back into injections and 500 cals not sure if I did that right. Woke up very hungry today. I'm sure it's just like starting over so I'll expect the hunger to stick around for a week.

Also I got frozen strawberries since the store didn't have any fresh, made my smoothie this morning and it tastes like dirt. Literally. I'm not digging the frozen strawberries, going on a hunt from fresh ones today. I was really hoping the frozens would be good cause its way easier to find them, keep them and they are lots cheaper. So here I sit...choking down my strawberry/dirt smoothie. LOL

Jene, before you know it you will dump the vacation weight! Sorry about your dirty strawberry smoothie. I'm in CA, so it's really easy to get off season fruit (Mexico is just down the "road"!).
I just put my frozenstrawberries in a bowl to melt and dump a package of Stevia on them, makes a compote of a sort, great for a sweet snack.

yea...its pretty hard to find in season strawberries in colorado this time of year. lol although they have been pretty good at the store, just when to a different store yesterday and they were completely out....didn't feel like making a stop at my regular store just for strawberries...probably should have.

Holy crap ladies...I am SOOOOO hungry. feeling pretty horrible. wondering if I should have started injections while I was eating bad. I don't know how this sort of thing works. Didn't want to load again and I honestly thought I wouldn't have to. I was reading about the planned interruptions and it said as long as you go under 2 weeks you don't need to load again. Still wondering if I should have built the hcg up in my system before getting back to 500 calories. I'm feeling pretty weak and shakey. I may add another protein serving for the next few days just to get by. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?!?!

Hello All I just had to share my small accomplishment today..... I am soooo proud of myself, I had one of those work luncheon meetings today and I made sure I would not be tempted to go off protocol and I packed my chicken and salad to eat. I also packed water and my sweet and sour vinargarette. I just emptied my salad in one of the plates added my chicken and I looked like everyone else. Only a few people noticed I was eating something different and they just thought I had some sort of food allergy and did not ask many questions. I ate my apple for desert (even though the cake and pie loooked so good). I feel good that I did not cave in!

Im on VLCD day 3 and still no loss, but Im still trying to find the right dosage for me. Im on corion injections. I have felt like giving up so much and even had to cheat yesterday because the hunger was "tear my arm off" unbearbale. Anyone with the same problems of finding the right dosage? I wasn't aware that we had to start off high so instead I started where I thought we were to, midrange at 30 with hunger ( this was also during loading at this rate), then on VLCD day 2 i went to 25 with horrible hunger then today with the advice of others on the site I went to 35 and I will stay there and monitor my hunger. I have to say tho every time I eat I get more hungry and its annoying as s**t!!! I don't wake up hungry like normal which is good but once I eat I am hungry the rest of the day. AHHHH!!!! So right for me it's all about will power. Food has always been a go to for me, I mean I quit smoking 1 year ago last month so I thought this would be as easy but it's kind of hard to not be around food, ya know haha.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! You did great! We are all soooooo proud of you! If you can get through that lunch... you can get through this diet!!

Yesterday I had a .4 gain, then today a 1.6 # whoooosh! This is the strangest diet on earth... but it works!!!

I ran out of the HCG drops I had been using. But I was prepared with some new drops I purchased at a health food store. The new drops are VERY different... they are thicker and kinda chocolatey tasting. I am worried that they will derail my progress. I ordered another bottle of the original kind of drops, but I have no choice but to use the new ones until they arrive. Hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot!

You should be OK until your drops come in! A visit from the Whoosh Fairy is so exciting!!

I have been VLCD for 14 days now and have been very blessed. I have lost 26 pounds in two weeks! That is crazy and wonderful. I do want to thank everyone here for being so supportive. My journey is not over, and I have a long road ahead! I hope everyone sees great losses today!
