so this morning is the last day I'm supposed to be on the 'juice' and I weighed in at 146.6. Would have been more if I had not cheated on my birthday (last sunday) and wasted a week to get back on track. ah, it's ok.
I started this round at 165.6 and therefore have lost 19 lbs as of today.
Total loss on hCG is 36.9 lbs.
ahhhhhmazing. life changing. emotional.
I asked my ex when he last saw me this size and he thinks when we started dating. That was in 1999. Ten years of being overweight. Having 2 boys and staying overweight until hCG fell into my lap ... and I was ready. That's a huge key. hCG isn't a hard diet to follow if you have willpower and are just plain ready to do it. I was about a size 18 at one time, and the other day I walked in and pulled on a pair of size 6 jeans at Old Navy. All girls know that Old Navy is generous with their sizing, and that I really wear a size 8 normal jeans .. but that's ok. Size 6 on the tag behind me. :)
Yesterday at school I was talking about the diet with someone who was asking me questions. Until now, I have been very secretive about why I eat an apple, a hamburger and a cucumber or tomato every day at lunch. Amy was asking and I like her alot and know that my experience has been life changing ... so I want to share with her. I am telling her about my experience and I'm getting tears in my eyes ... I'm very emotional about this. I tell her that buying a size 12 swimsuit off of jcpenney.com for vacation - and pulling it right on when it came and feeling AMAZING in it - was life changing. I hadn't done that in YEARS & YEARS. Walking in and trying on clothes to start school, picking up a Large shirt and a size 10 pants to find out that they were indeed TOO BIG is life changing. I'm a size 8 and medium now. Talk about an ego boost. However, hCG is amazing but I give myself alot of credit. It's not necessarily easy. I did this.
I have decided to do another 2 weeks at least to see where I end up. I would like this round to be my last round and it can be if I do it right. I don't need to be 120 lbs to be happy - I feel better than I have in years - I look better (healthier) than I have in years ... and the other day someone told me it was hard to believe that I had a 9 year old. I'll take it!
Your progress pics are AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing. I totally agree with you - HCG is life changing, but YOU did the work. And you look great! Wow - a size 6/8??? That is awesome. I can't wait to join you in the single digits (perhaps next round for me...I went from an 18 to a 12 this round and so proud of myself.
