I started Depo Provera shots in November and now I've gained even more! I'm reallye xcited to do it this time though.

Depo made it very hard for me to lose before HCG. That stuff has horrible metabolic side effects but I use it to control my PCOS. I just wanted to tell you that I had great losses my last round even while on depo. Best diet ever! I'm excited for you!

My HCG went into customs around 5pm today. Yayyy!! I might be able to make my Feb 18th loading date. I'm so ready to start this diet!

Day four here on vlcd, and down 8.4 lbs. Fantastic! I was so worried since I did Rx injections last time that the Body Shaper sublingual drops would not be as effective, but they may be more effective. I had to force myself to eat last night. I have also taken up drinking coffee. I do not like it but a few drops of vanilla cream stevia it goes down ok. It fills my stomach too, which is great. I made home made pumpkin bread for my 11 month old son last night... holy cow was that hard. I just wanted a little taste! It's one of my favorites. I had dreams last night about accidently eating things and then remembering I was on this diet and freaking out. I can not wait for these next few weeks to fly by. It's worth it... it's worth it... it's worth it....

Just wanted to share, after 2 days of loading, I begin day 1 of VLCD, and woke up to a nice surprized, 4 lbs lost! After 2 days of loading, and I wake up to such a huge loss. Color me happy!!!

I am doing Body Shaper too! Just the thought of eating now just turns my stomach after loading for 2 days. Who'da thought that when you had "carte blanc" to eat anything and everything you wanted would turn into, ugh, I don't want to eat, and HAVE to! This will be VLCD 1 for me, and I know that my head will turn to the pretty foods passing my by, but since failure is not an option, I will just smile and wave (OK, probably want to cheat, but as the saying goes, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!).
You are doing great, Jes! Stay strong!

Wow Rusty, congrats on 4.2!!! Jess, 8.5! What good numbers! After yesterday's static scale, I skipped all fruit but one apple and cut cracker from 2 to 1 and downed 82 oz water. Well, today I'm 1.6 more so I'll take it. Was hoping for another biggie number but hey, it's a positive move so I'm thrilled. Let's move into the weekend with determination that we'll all have loose pants next week! kat


PS Updated -- 1.6 LESS is what I meant! (Blonde math)

Jaime, The first day was hard for me too. But yesterday I wasn't hungry and had to force myself to eat my calories so it does get easier the longer the drops are in your system. Stick with it! Congrats on the little one!

Rusty I hope tomorrow I wake up to a 4 pound loss!!! On my first round I never lost more than 1 pound at a time, it was very slow and very frustrating. Things are different this time, I am following protocol, not the clinic So congrats on such an awesome start!!!
Jes, I know what you mean! I have 4 kids and cooking for them seems to be the hardest part for me! And my first round I did during the holidays <smacks self in head>
Ms. Fontella, i got my HCG or 4 days after it went into customs, so maybe you will have yours by Monday?

WEll today is load day 2 for me! im not really that hungry this morning even though I just made a massive fat laden breakfast, Complete with hashbrowns bacon and sausage eggs biscuits and GRAVY ~sigh~(ie I am here at the computer and not eating) currently enjoying my coffee though, and thinking the HCG must be working just fine, guess Ill graze today on my second loading day.
I hoped on the scale this morning and Im up 2 pounds!
so pre load 138.2
140 this am
Today is LD2 scary seeing the scale go up, automatically makes me want to not eat the junk I just cooked, but I do know how important it is to load. sighs~
