VLCD #26: -0.8

Injection Day #25, and Last Injection Day! Hurrah! Today is my last injection for 8 weeks, and I'm really ready for a break. Today's Last Injection Weight was a nice even 207 lbs, which brings my net loss on the HCG Challenge to 29.2 lbs, and my total net loss since beginning the HCG protocol early in the year to 51.8 lbs.

I'll be leaving on vacation this weekend, and will have limited internet access for posting in the blog, but will check in as I'm able. The job for next week (after completing the 72 hours of VLCD) is to stay the course with the protein and good fats, and to stay far far away from sugars and starchy foods. I've done it before, so I can do it again!

Hope you all have a great weekend, and I'll see you in a few days.

VLCD #21: -1.4 Last Injection Day

Looks like things are looking up (or rather, down) here on my last injection day of the round with a nice 1.4 lb loss. To sum it all up, my last injection weight is 216.6, which makes my loss for this round a nice 18.2 lbs. My net total loss since being on HCG in January of this year is 42.2 lbs.

So - in 72 hours (Friday morning), I'll begin the protein phase for 7 days. Actually, I may make that 8 days, so that I can begin the next round of injections and loading on the weekend.

Things I've learned thus far that will help the next time:

• Don't get too hungry
• Get plenty of sleep
• Stay hydrated with plenty of water
• Yerba Mate tea is a great appetite suppressant
• No Diet Cokes
• Apples are better than strawberries, strawberries are better than oranges (for me)
• Fish is better than chicken, chicken is better than veal (for me)
• Rebounding (mini trampoline) can help (didn't do any this round, but had good results last time)
• Planning is the key!
