Last injection!! I am looking forward to P3. More food choices, yes!

I've been fluctuating between 161 and 162 for a few days now, can't seem to get out of the 160's.
This round was successful overall and I am not complaining, I've shed 25lbs and 3 pant sizes.
It takes me so long to get dressed in the morning, I'm having a hard time finding clothes that fit..everything is too large for a change and not to small, oh yeah. I pulled a size 10 from the back of my closet yesterday and they fit! I don't know if they really count as a true size 10 because they are 99% cotton and 2% spandex, which gives then a little stretch. I won't go shopping until after R2 when I lose the last 15-20 lbs. My daughter wears a size 8 and said she will be raiding my closet soon and I don't look forward to that. :) Right now she raids my sock drawer and I can never find socks when I need them. Think I may have to lock my door. :)

It's been great meeting new blogger buddies and I thank you so much for your support during this round, your positive words and funny stories keep me going.

I'll ask my hubby to take pictures to post.


Until tomorrow...

Yeah! This is a great loss...doing my happy dance!

It's funny when I walk pass the mirror, I almost don't recognize the new me. I will see my Mom and sister this weekend. Won't they be surprised. My sister is a shop-a-holic and everytime she visits, she gives me clothes that she doesn't want, sometimes with the tags still on them. She said she has a bag of clothes for me. I didn't tell her that they are probably all too big...she wears a size 14/16. I'll tell you all about it.

I'm maintainin'.... Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Now, this is crazy....I am at work and for some reason, I smell fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Isn't that strange?!!? I even smell hot sauce...I eat hot sauce on everything. My mind is playing tricks on me. Even b4 hcg, I didn't eat fried chicken on a regular. Ok, Ok...I'll snap out of it and have a cup of peach green tea. LOL

How do I say this without sounding strange...anyway here it goes. The other morning, I was in bed and it was time to get up. It was the weekend and I was trying to sleep a little late, which is unusual for me. My husband was standing over the bed trying to wake me up. He was feeling around as if he couldn't find something. I said, "hey what are you looking for, my tummy"?
He really LOL because I was right, he was trying to give me a tummy rub and couldn't find it!!!!!
And I was even laying on my side, how 'bout that? Go hcg!!

I have to go, now I'm smelling movie theatre popcorn.

Overnight Gain: 1.2

Hmmm, a 1.2lb gain...must be water retention. You know the gains don't bother me as much as they used to because I know that tomorrow I will have a loss.

Funny how people perceive you. I was talking to one of my friends about jewelry and how I like wearing big jewelry. She said,"you know, us big girls look nice in big jewelry". I can't wait for the day when I am no longer in the "big girl" category. It's only a matter of time until this "petite girl" is wearing big jewelry.... ya know!

OK, here's the menu...

B: 1/2 orange
L: chicken & green salad
S: a few strawberries
D: grilled fish, stewed apple and green salad - mustard dressing
water: 32oz - not as much as I usually drink.

Hello to all my blogger buddies!

Yes, I am halfway to my goal! I missed posting over the weekend. I am really bad about getting on the computer over the weekend. I try to stay as far away from the computer as I can. As I mentioned b4, I sit at the computer all day during the week, so I look forward to the break.

I went to Red Lobster on Saturday, with a few friends and managed to stick to the the hcg diet. I chose the grilled fresh fish of the day with asparagus (no butter or oil)....yum! I did resist the hot buttered biscuits that they continually bring to the table. They looked & smelled so gooood! :)
Each time I thought about how good they smelled, I looked down at the size 12 jeans I was wearing! Amazing!

How 'bout this...someone was lecturing me...saying that I should be careful about losing "too much fat" because I might have a heart attack. I do appreciate their concern but I couldn't resist schooling him by saying that I am not losing the structural fat that protects my organs but abnormal/excess fat. eh em!

Hello maryg, ed&jen, biz, lili, winston, crystal and cb. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Oh yeah this is funny. I am wearing my black corduroy pants today. I've noticed something different....I am no longer hearing the "swish swish" sound when I walk. You know the sound cords make when your thighs rub together and everyone knows when you are coming. LOL! So funny!!! Feels good to laugh at myself.

Hey, I missed yall over the weekend. I didn't have time to post.

Let me tell you, I was screaming and running all over the house when I got on the scale and I was finally out of the 70's. Tears came to my eyes while I was doing my "happy dance"....sniff sniff! If noone else can relate, I know you all know how I was feeling. My size 16 pants are truly too big, can somebody say "baggy"!!! I am wearing a pair today but they are so loose and I am stepping on the hem (no complaint). I now have an excuse to buy a new wardrobe for my birthday, which is in June. Hcg is working for me and I am thankful to have run across a weight loss solution that doesn't leave me starving and weak. One thing...I would love to have a massage. :o)
