Holy Batman and Robin!!!

So freakin' excited when I stepped on the scale this morning.. Down another 1.4lbs!!! That means I am at 155.6.. totally skipped 156! The 140's are so close I can taste it!!!!

  Yesterday for lunch I had a tenderloin steak, for a snack I had an apple, then for dinner (I saved my veggie from lunch) and had a taco wrap.. It had low fat hamburger with minced garlic, celery, green bell peppers and onions, with a touch of cumin and chili powder.. I sauted it all together and wrapped it in a low carb tortilla.. added tomato to the top and I was absolutely stuffed when I was finished.. I was saving my other fruit for a late night snack and totally forgot to eat it..

So here are my numbers for today!

A little bit at a time...

Okay I didn't update yesterday after my cheat day... So I gained .6lbs on my cheat day..(Which brought me to 158.4) Not bad for having two slices of pizza and a corndog with a Dr Pepper.. It was worth it to me.. It curbed all my cravings and I feel like I can stick to the diet the rest of this round now..

So last night I stuck to the diet and made something new.. I made Steak Pizziola.. it wasn't that great but it was something new.. I need to get lettuce so I can make some taco lettuce wraps and some bunless burgers.. I'm excited to try some new recipes! I went and bought all the things I don't normally carry that most the recipes call for, like garlic cloves and some spices..

So today I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 157.0.

So here's how my numbers look today...

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs

Apple Days SUCK!

Okay so I decided to an apple day.. I am not sure if it's still because the chemicals in the Skinny Wrap are still in my system or what.. But I only lost .2oz yesterday.. I was so hungry.. So today I had a major cheat day.. I figured if I was going to cheat, I might as well CHEAT! I figured if I got some of my cravings out of the way and had some real food I might be able to finish this round of drops without having any more hurdles.. I was sooo hungry today.. So I had my regualr lunch for the diet.. and by the time dinner rolled around I was starving.. So I had 2 sm pieces of pizza and a corn dog.. Bad, but I will get back on track tomorrow.. I wish I could find some less complicated recipees on this diet.. the same ol food is getting awful boring...

So today's numbers look like this...

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs
Starting Weight this round of HCG 164.0lbs
Current Weight: 157.8lbs
Current Weight Loss Total: 17.4lbs

Back on track...

So this morning scale time... Stepped on and I lost .6lbs.. I will take that over a gain ANY day.. So while two days ago I was disappointed in a little over 1/2 a lb lost.. Today I am satisfied with it.. After talking with a fellow HCG'er.. I have decided today to do an apple day.. This is where you eat 6 apples throughout the day and that's it.. Just apples.. Hopefully this helps make up for the 1lb gain .. Usually loss on an apple day ranges from 1-3lbs.. Depending on how big you are and how your body reacts to it.. I would love for the 3lbs loss but am thinking 1.5lbs is probably my luck..

On the skinny wrap.. It takes 72 hours for the full effect to take place.. I am 24 hours in (after taking off the wrap) So far i've lost 6 inches around my mid section (you measure the top of your stomach, the middlish, like across your belly button, and the bottom). But like I said before, I won't be doing another wrap until after I have finished the HCG and it is all out of my system..

So numbers as of today look like this..

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs
Starting Weight this round of HCG 164.0lbs
Current Weight: 158lbs
Current Weight Loss Total: 17.2lbs
Current Weight Loss this round of HCG 6lbs (In 8 days)
 Goal Weight: 133lbs
Weight Still Needed to Lose to Reach Goal: 25lbs
Average I need to Lose Daily to Reach my Goal: 1.9lbs
Weight Loss From Yesterday: -.6lb

And I thought yesterday was a bad day... :-(

So yesterday I tried a Skinny Wrap.. It's a wrap you put on the part of your body that needs the most work.. (You can use them on your stomach, chin, arms, thighs or love handles). You leave it on anywhere from 45 mins up.. You can do like I did and wear it over night.. I did take before and after pics but I don't want to share them until it has fully taken affect (you won't get your full results until after 72 hours) But I can tell you I can already tell a difference..

Bad thing about it though... is I gained a pound. I didn't go off of my diet and still gained a full pound.. I am thinking maybe the two chemicals (Detox in the skinny wrap and chemicals in the HCG) had an adverse reaction to eachother and caused me to gain. So I am in the process of winning another wrap now and have decided if I win it I will wait until I am completely off the HCG before I wrap again.. Don't want to be gaining when I barely eat.. Hardly seems fair..

So this is how my numbers look today..

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs
Starting Weight this round of HCG 164.0lbs
Current Weight: 15.6lbs
Current Weight Loss Total: 16.6lbs
Current Weight Loss this round of HCG 5.4lbs (In 7 days)
 Goal Weight: 133lbs
Weight Still Needed to Lose to Reach Goal: 25.6lbs
Average I need to Lose Daily to Reach my Goal: 1.9lbs
Weight Loss From Yesterday: +1lb

Not looking so great... So tonight (since the detox stays in your system and works for a full 72 hours after you wrap) I took a walk.. a long one... made 3 laps and it wasn't a flat walk by any means.. The hills killed my calves but I am hoping that might help with the weight gain from today..

 Hoping to have a better day tomorrow..

Can't have great days every day...

Well this morning I stepped on the scale and I weighed in at 157.6. Down .6lbs not great, but it's not a gain.. So my current totals are at:

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs
Starting Weight this round of HCG 164.0lbs
Current Weight: 157.6lbs
Current Weight Loss Total: 17.6lbs
Current Weight Loss this round of HCG 6.4lbs (In 6 days)
 Goal Weight: 133lbs
Weight Still Needed to Lose to Reach Goal: 24.6lbs
Average I need to Lose Daily to Reach my Goal: 1.7lbs
Weight Loss From Yesterday: -.6lbs

I had my husband just measure my height and I was 5'1 1/2!! Which is a great thing.. Because for enlistment I go from having to weigh 127 to being able to weigh 134! That's a reachable goal by the end of June, beginning of July. But I am still going to set my goal at 133 in case the army scale is off from mine! This is getting better and better as I get closer to reaching my goal!! :-D

Another one bites the dust!!

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Down 1lb from yesterday which brings my current totals to...

Starting Weight at Beginning of my Weight Loss Journey 175.2lbs
Starting Weight this round of HCG 164.0lbs
Current Weight: 158.2lbs
Current Weight Loss Total: 17lbs
Current Weight Loss this round of HCG 5.8lbs (In 5 days)
 Goal Weight: 133lbs
Weight Still Needed to Lose to Reach Goal: 25.2lbs
Average I need to Lose Daily to Reach my Goal: 1.6lbs
Weight Loss From Yesterday: -1lbs

So my aveage is going to suck and go up if I can't make up for that half pound.. But I am also averaging it putting in 15 days days of HCG drops left.. Each bottle has lasted me more than it's specified time but I am using 15 days to stay safe. I just opened the bottle today so really I probably have about 20 days to lose if not more so it's more like 1.2lbs I need to lose on average a day..

Nothing new pertaining to the diet.. Still have not experianced any side effects or excessive hunger. I really need to find a website that has some new SIMPLE reciepe's with things I actually have in my house.. I need some new idea's for dinner. The same ol' thing is getting old fast..

Broke the 150's!!!

Today is going to be a GREAT day!! Stepped on the scale this morning and weighed in at 159.2lbs. I can't tell you how exciting it is to break the 150's. So on Day 4 I dropped 1.4lbs!

 To reach my goal weight of 133lbs I need to lose an average of 1.6 lbs a day for the next 16 days. I have a little bit of drops left in one bottle and a full unopened 15 day supply as well.. On my last few bottles (I have had a 30 day supply and a 15 day supply) they have both lasted longer than the 30 and 15 days. So I am saying I have 16 days left when I might have more than that. But if I can reach 133 I would be exstatic! OMGosh I cannot tell you.

I know beauty is on the inside, but the confidence I get when I am thin is an amazing feeling. To me I am the fat girl who has a pretty face, and to have the pretty body to go with it is what I want. I don't want it for anyone else... I don't feel the need to be skinny for my husband, he tells me everyday I am beautiful and that there isn't anything wrong with me. But I don't agree.

If I can reach my weight goal not only will I be healthy again, along with gaining my confidence back, but I will also be able to join the military which is my ultimate goal!!

Getting back on the horse...

Well I decided that it was time to climb back on the horse again.... So here goes..
I had went back up to 164.0.. So that was my starting weight this time.. I like doing the blog because it helps to hold me accountable..

So this round so far looks like this
Starting weight: 164.0
Day 1 162.4 Down 1.6lbs
Day 2 161.0 Down 1.4lbs
Day 3 160.6 Down .4lbs

So so far in 3 days I am down 3.4lbs.. Not too bad.. I have a 15 day supply left to use.. I also have won a few Skinny Wraps on Facebook and will post before and after pics after I wrap. Supposedly you lose 1-3 inches with each wrap, it tightens your skin, and lessens the appearance of stretch marks.

I am not sure if I mentioned it on here or not but I am enlisting to join the National Guard.. I am not sure if I am going to go AGR (Active Guard Reserve) or not yet, I am hoping to but depending on what job I end up with depends on if any AGR spots are open. I have taken my ASVAB a couple of weeks ago.. You must score a 50 to pass and a 99 is the highest possible score.. I scored a 90!! So I can get almost any job that requires book smarts... Being a mechanic is out though.. I am no good at that stuff.. I am supposed to be 127lbs to be able to enlist.. I don't think I can hit that before August.. BUT you can also tape out (where they figure your body fat %. I need to be under 33%. The last time I taped I was 44% So I have a bit to go. I need to be able to at least tape out by the beginning of August although mid July is my goal. So after this HCG round is done I will work my tail off with exercise and careful calorie counting and my last resort is to use the wraps..

So here we go again. I will try to do a daily update if not I will do a several day update like I did at the beginning of this post...

Here's to losing..
