VLCD #5: -2.5 and in VFT!

Well, it looks like my good luck is continuing as the scale continues downward. This morning showed an all time low of 225.2, a loss of 2.4 lbs - I'm now officially back in "Virgin Fat Territory", which is fat that hasn't been lost in a loooong while! So overall, for this round, I've lost 10.6 lbs.

Obviously, the colonic didn't hurt my progress and very possibly helped, so I'm really pleased about that. Also, I notice that I can actually suck in my gut now! Certainly, there's a whole lot of fat still there...but not for long! I have another colonic scheduled for next month, so I will have finished this first short round by then, and can get rid of some of the toxins that may have been released by the fat loss. I've begun to believe that the whole thing about our bodies being full of toxins has something to it.

After being on the HCG for almost a week now, I am feeling somewhat more energy. Normally on a weekend, I'd be taking every opportunity to take a nap; however, today I'm feeling really motivated to get some things done!

One other measure that I've taken to try to keep from eating when I'm bored is to keep a list in my Outlook of "Things to Do". It's split into small tasks, so rather than "clean up the kitchen", I might have 5 or 6 things, like "empty the dishwasher", "wipe down the counters", etc. When I'm feeling like I want to get something to eat, and it's more out of boredom than hunger, I refer to this list. Not only has it kept me busy and not thinking about eating, it's helped me get some things done around the house, too!

VLCD #3: -2.0

Another great weigh-in this morning. I lost 2 lbs, for a total of 6 lbs lost on this round. Today, the scale showed me at 229.8 - just 3 lbs above my LIW from last time. I'm hopeful that the weekend will push me into VFT (Virgin Fat Territory), and that next week will bring exciting new changes!

I did shampoo my hair today, so am hoping that taking care with the process will avoid any stalls. The good thing about having dry hair is being able to get by with washing it only twice a week.

On the menu today for Lunch:
Chicken
Celery
Apple

Dinner:
Halibut
Cabbage
Apple
