About ButterLover
- Biography:
- My name is Cindy, aka ‘The Butter Lover’. I’m not new to dieting, but I am new to HCG. I’ve been starting my weight loss journey over and over again for the past 6 years.
I’m a food blog junkie, and let’s face it, I’m a food junkie too. My goal is to lose 100 pounds - but it will really depend on what weight looks best on my body!
I’m a web designer by day and a junk food junkie in front of the T.V. by night.
What I’ve tried so far:
Diet pills (truth be told I bought them but the side effects were so scary I chickened out!)
The 1-Meal-a-Day plan
Liquid Diet – 100 Calorie Shakes Only
Slim Fast
South Beach Diet
Weight Watchers
The ONLY success I ever saw was on Weight Watchers. It’s realistic, and it taught me a lot about food and nutrition. But when I stopped being serious about the plan and quit going to meetings I gained all 25lbs lost – back. Ugh!
Now I'm at 232 lbs - I'd love to be under 200 asap, and eventually my long term goal would be around the 130's.

Does HCG dieting make anyone else feel empowered?
Its amazing what a huge jump I've made already to the third day. Although the portions LOOK small - they are actually quite satisfying. Day 1, i didn't feel that way, but now I have the ability to wait longer to eat and food isn't ruling my thoughts.
The fact that food isn't ruling my thoughts is a huge accomplishment - my mind has been so food centric I can hardly remember a time in my life when I didn't think about

Oh boy - the first day of VLCD was ROUGH - I know that most of it was mental, knowing that I was restricting food meant that I wanted to 'cheat' 'eat' and 'sneak' BUT I didn't, and I'm really glad! Yesterday looked like this:
Weight In, Inject, Drink 16oz of Water
Coffee with stevia
Lunch at 12:00 - P2 Chili (was SO good and satisfying) with a grissani bread stick
Snack at 3:30: Apple cubed tossed in cinnamon and stevia with a squeeze of lemon
Dinner at

Good morning!
Today is my first day on the VLCD - I have to admit I have some anxiety over the foods that I am allowed to eat and their quantities - even though in all reality the foods themselves are no different then what I stock my fridge with every week - just a little more limited in variety. I of course weighed in this morning (yesterday was a loading day!) and somehow I lost AGAIN - not complaining, but slightly worried that I didn't gain on either day...

So yesterday was not fun - I hate eating fat fat and more fat! I couldn't make it to the supposedly recommended 250 grams of fat for a loading day - I don't want to make myself sick!!!
Today's weight: 231.5
LOSS: 2.2lbs
^What?! That is crazy! I lost weight after eating garbage... I just can't believe that at all but I'll take it!
It was injection #2 today at 9:00am (I'm shooting for regular injection times if possible). So far I've only
