Last shot

Today was my last shot for the current series. I weigh 202 pounds and I am possitive that I will be under 200 by the time the HCG works through my system. I plan to stay on the 500 calorie diet for another week and to continue to avoid carbs and sugars for a couple of weeks after that.

This program has probably been a lifesaver for me and I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to be on it. If I had not gotten the weight off I am quite sure that I would have had more heart problems. I am determined to do whatever I need to do to make sure that I do not balloon back up. I know that I will need to be very careful when I do eat any starches or sugars.

Five pounds to go

Day 37. Only three more days of shots to go and five pounds to go to get to my goal of 200 pounds. I plan to keep going on the 500 calorie diet for at least a week after I finish the shots. 200 pounds will be a great target. Nice round number.

Under 210

I have broken the 210 mark! This is day 33 and that means I only have a week of shots left. I weighed in at 209.8 this morning. I am going to have to really be very careful if I am going to get to my goal of 200 pounds by next Friday. I have been told by several people in the know that the weight loss is a little slower on the second series of shots and I find that to be true. I have lost 26 pound in 33 days, which is a slower pace than during my first series. I am 62 pounds lighter than when I first started! I feel great. I sleep so much better. My clothes are falling off of me.

It works every time!

I had been stuck at about 223 pounds for a few days so I decided that I would do an apple day yesterday. This morning when I weighed in, I was at 220.6. I really didn’t start out in the morning with the intent to do an apple day but, by around 4 PM, I still had not had a chance to stop for lunch so I decided that since I had gone that far, I might as well keep going with just apples.

During my first series of shots, I did apple days several times and every time that I have tried it, it has worked. I am not sure if it is unhealthy to do that too often but it sure helps the willpower when you can see the scale move by two or three pounds. It is surprising to me how full I feel after only eating five apples during the entire day.

I have not felt chilled during this series of shots like I did the last time. That’s probably because it is quite hot outside. I also have not had any problem with feeling lightheaded or weak. I have 25 days to go and I am confident that I can get to my goal of 200 pounds.

My Heart Doctor was impressed

Yesterday I had a checkup with my cardiologist. I see him every six months so he can monitor my meds following my heart attack three years ago. He was very pleased to see that I am 63 pounds lighter than I was when I saw him last. He has been after me to lose weight and it has been a struggle for me before I began the HCG program. My bad cholesterol is about half what it was in January. My blood pressure is 110/78. I have had no chest pain and no shortness of breath unless I am walking quite fast. I am able to reduce the dosage on a couple of my meds.
