OK, all I can say is WOW! I have been frustrated with the pounds thing. Because there has not much change in weight this round I neglected to take measurements because I thought my the numbers went up. I was wrong! Today my weight is up to 136.1. Yes, I cheated last night. I had steak on the grill, a scoop of mashed potatoes with butter, salad with ranch, grilled zuchini, and a scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone. I am bad! Today I took what ends up being my last injection for this round so I need to stick to my 500 today and for the next few days for sure! I was thinking about quitting the HCG after this round, but now that I took my measurements have I changed my mind. I only have 10 pounds to go. My measurements continue to decrease and I have been told I look fantastic. I think that if I quit now I won't forgive myself for not just going the full course to get to my goal. So here is my plan. I will do 3 days (including today) of 500 cals. On Tuesday I will start phase 3 and when I get through that do my last round for the last 10 or fewer pounds.

I weighed in at 134.1 today. That was a nice loss overnight that really helped convince me to keep going for a little longer. Things are going well and I am feeling good. I am really enjoying the pool a lot more now that I am in a cute suit, not a cover-up suit and even ventured out to a beach last weekend. I am going to the beach again this weekend. You have no idea what a big deal that is for me!

I finally got that cheat issue under control and am down to 135.0 this morning. I had a great holiday and managed to lose weight each day. I have 10 pounds to go (maximum) and I am feeling much better. I am hopeful that I won't stall out until I get to my goal.

One of my acquaintances here told me I don't need to lose any more weight, but I still want to at least pull down to 130, which is only 5 more. I think I am looking pretty good though!

R2P2D20

Yesterday I didn't cheat, not one little speck, and this morning I woke up to a 2.4 pound loss! I figured if I couldn't get through a single day (yesterday) I would call it quits this round, re-cleanse and start over. But I did it! I did it again today! I know that 2.4 pounds is a lot and I don't expect to lose that much again tonight, but I haven't cheated and it's 6pm. I ate at 5:30 and am stuffed.

Tomorrow is July 4th and I got invited to the baseball game and we are going out to a sports bar first. I have already made up my mind that I won't eat anything besides salad, no dressing because at least that I can pick out what isn't in the protocol.

Have a Happy Independence Day!
