I am very pleased to report that I have been able to stay within four pound of what I weighed at the end of the second series of injections! I was skeptical about the claims that my metabolism would reset itself after I went off the shots but that does indeed seem to be the case. I am now eating some carbs on a daily basis and I am maintaining. I weighed 203 this morning. Great!
It has been about nearly three weeks since I had my last injection and I am happy to report that I have been able to keep my weight off even though I have increased my calories. I am hoping to stay at 200 pounds or less for the rest of my life and I know that I will have to be very disciplined in order to do that. I weighed 202 this morning. Marium tells me that I can start adding a “few” carbs now and I am looking forward to eating some baked beans or some rice or potatoes once in a while. I haven’t had any soda for about two months and I haven’t really missed it that much.
It has been almost two weeks since I had my last injection and I am holding steady at 200 pounds. I am very pleased. I am still doing the same diet that I was on during the shots but I am increasing the portions a little at a time. I had a day last week where I gained three pounds so I did a steak day and the next day when I weighed in, I found that I had lost the three pounds. I am having quite a bit of hunger and I want to find a supplememt or something to help take the hunger away.
This morning when I weighed myself, I was at 199.5! I have made my goal! My last injection was last Friday and I have stayed on the 500 calorie diet since then and have continued to lose weight. I have been bothered by hunger for the last couple of days and I have had to fight the urge to eat a slice of bread or some pasta. Marium tells me that I should gradually increase my calories for the next couple of weeks and then I can SLOWLY add some carbs. I hope to be able to keep my weight under 200 pounds for the rest of my life.
It is Monday, August 3rd. I weighed in at 210.5 this morning which is a little disappointing because I have yet to reach my goal of 200 pounds. I had my last shot on Friday and I have stayed on the 500 calorie diet. As a reward to myself, I did cheat just a little on Saturday while we were at my wife’s family reunion. I ate a bite or two of dutch-oven potatoes and I had a bite of Lemmon cake. When we got home yesterday, I was tempted to eat a bowl of cereal or a slice of bread, but I resisted and had lettuce and white fish.
I had some problems with being a little lightheaded while I was at the reunion. We were at a vacation home that was at about 9,000 feet above sea level and I found myself getting dizzy when I stood up after sitting for a while. I also experienced quite a few leg cramps. Leg cramps have been common for me all through both series of shots. I have used pickle juice as a remedy and it works pretty well. Ther were a couple of days when I ate a bananna in order to get some potasium which helps keep the cramps away. I did not have any problem with dry skin during the second series of shots.
