Yuck!

I had to go to a dinner meeting last night and ate some salad and a slice of pizza. Not only that, but we didn't eat until 7:30 pm. I haven't been injecting for some time, so that isn't a problem, but I still gained. This morning I was over 137. I am still waiting to hear back on whether they are going to send me the HCG and supplies to administer it. I am out of everything. I am hoping to get back down to at least 130 but 125 would be fabulous.

Very Strange

Yesterday morning my weight was 133.4 and I was happy about that. This morning I am disturbed because my weight is 136.7. I don't know how it could go up that much in one day. I didn't eat an unusual amount of food. I didn't go out to eat and I didn't eat really late at night. It's just very strange. I wonder what tomorrow morning will look like....

on the rebound

Well, I am down to 135.5 this morning. I feel a little less bloated. Today I have lots of chores and errands I have neglected over the past two weeks. Maybe all the working and running around today will help kick me into gear again.

Waiting on supplies.

Hello and happy Friday! This morning my weight was up to 136.1. After a late 10pm dinner last night and two weeks of restauranting it's really not a surprise. I ran out of supplies on my last round and am now waiting on a new stock so I can get back down and hit my goal weight.

With all of the food I ate I am amazed that I am only up 5 pounds from what I had been holding at since the last round. I have noticed that I got constipated, that may be part of the problem. I attribute that to eating all of those things my body isn't use to anymore. I never really ate out a lot before anyway, so this really wreaked havoc on my body!

My twinny left today. I miss her already. My parents and other sister left last Monday. Now it's back to the grind and the fun is over. I'm going to miss them terribly. It sure was fun to just spend time with them visiting and lolly-gagging at the pool and local shopping areas.

Post wedding gain

Well the wedding was beautiful last Saturday and the weather was perfect! My weight had been holding at about 130 give or take a couple of pounds before the wedding. Since my family came in the week before the wedding and some are still here until this Friday I have been going out to eat more than ever in my life! My weight this morning was 134.4. Not too bad, but not great. I think I will do a post-wedding whip myself into shape again round to lose the restaurant bulge at my waist!

Here's the scoop.

Hi all! I know it's been awhile since my last post and I apologize for that. I am off of Phase 2 and living a liberal phase 3! I actually had some cake last night for my son's 19th birthday. It tasted way to sweet because I'm not use to all that sugar. My son and his girlfriend made it together so I had to try it.

I seem to have found my permanent weight range to be at the 130 level that for some reason I cannot escape. My weight has been varying from 129-133 and nothing over or under. I'm happy with the 130 mark because my body is healthy looking and feeling. I am in those size 7's and they are loose in the waist.

Now, on the dating front to Mark who asked. I have been on a few dates, some good, some downright scary! Life has changed so much and it's hard to meet real people these days. I am having fun and out of my dating adventures I have made a really good friend and some acquaintances that I hang out with and they look out for me, which is very nice. Mostly it's just nice to get out and live life again.

I think that losing all of that weight using the HCG/Simeon's protocol has helped to boost my confidence, plus my self image has changed. It use to be that if I weighed 130 it wouldn't be good enough. I would think of myself as fat. Not because of the look, but the number. Since changing my eating habits, weighing myself daily and TAKING MY MEASUREMENTS my perception of my body has changed 100%. People need to learn that it's not the number on the scale that is the only indicator of their health and shape. I weigh more than when I was in my 20's, but my physical shape and measurements are much better. It feels good to look in the mirror and though I don't see perfection and I could never be a model, I am satisfied and content for the first time in many years with what I see.

My brother's wedding is next Saturday. At the beginning of this journey the goal was to lose weight, I wanted to be 125-128#. My results were almost exact. I did not want to look like the "fat older sister" to my baby brother. I think that goal has been reached and I am looking forward to wearing my new blue dress to the wedding. Next week when the pictures come in I will post one of me in that blue dress. Then you all can judge for yourself whether you think I met my goal.
