So I started the HHCG drops earlier this month in the hopes that I would lose at least 15 lbs. My starting weight was 131.8...I know to some of you that wouldn't seem like much, but I'm barely 5'2 and I have a small build so 131 lbs is pretty heavy for me. I was first of all embarrassed that my doctor told me I had to lose weight because I was getting close to the obese weight for my build... So starting this I had astronomically High hopes. I've read so many success stories and have read so many
Yesterday my boyfriend took me out to lunch and I couldn't decide what salad to get. In a bold move I ordered the Caesar Salad. I had about 1 cup and from the moment the fork touched my lips I was in ecstasy. It was so ridiculous I started laughing. The taste was amazing and flavorful and it was only a salad! I didn't have the croutons or the cheese, but I saved the rest and had some for dinner...sacrificed my protein and fruits for the day..wasn't too bad of a cheat only lost .2 lbs though...
So yesterday was a bit of a let down. I woke up and found out I had not dropped any weight, but I had lost 1/2 an inch of my waist and arms...I decided to omit one fruit and up my protein and today I'm happy to be down 1lb from yesterday. Its really hard saying no to food...I had to watch my friend eat a pepperoni pizza, while I had my plain salad...luckily there was some salsa on the table that kept my salad from being a total bore....I guess that discipline paid off!!
So this morning is my day 5 on the VLCD and I've only been losing .4 lbs per day and .5 in around certain areas of my body. Is this normal for a Vegetarian? I eat 1 whole egg and two egg whites for lunch and 113g of Tilapia for Dinner. Spinach is my choice Veggie and Orange is my choice Fruit. I Usually make a smoothie around lunch time with Half an orange and 1 tbs plain unsweetened whey powder to enhance my protein intake..should I stop that and just make it with the orange, water, and stevia??
