Drum roll please.....

So the totals are in:

Chest: - 4"

Waist: -1"

Hips: -1 3/4"

Thigh: -1/2"

Arm: - 1/4"

Total: 6 1/2"

Weight total loss : 16.5 lbs

Time: 3 weeks

I feel pretty good about the measurements. I still think I could have done a little better on the weight loss, but I know some of the stop around the end was water retention. I think the inches are a little more total because I am pretty sure I lost inches in places I didn't measure, such as: my calves, my forearms, and my neck. I have also decided that I will give myself a 5 lb window. I can gain up to 5 lbs but I over time I want to keep ALL of it off, if not drop a few more by the time the 5k comes.

My new goal is to get in shape for the 5k coming up in a couple of weeks. It is going to be mostly up-hill so I bet get my behind going!

1 more day...maybe last.

So one more day down. Another .5 lb lost. Not enough to change my ticker though. I think when it's said and done I will have lost about 15 maybe 16 lbs. We'll see. I keep trying to remind myself not too shabby. I think I could have done better, but 15 aint bad.

The next post will be on Monday and it will be my final stats. Total inches lost, lbs, estimated pant sizes....Then for the maintenance, the tricky part...not gaining it back!

2 more days

So I lost just under what I gained yesterday. I kept pretty much to the diet. I did find out though that the popcorn I one tiny little handful was probably 140 calories worth!! I couldn't believe it. Maybe water weight helped, I don't know... But I think Friday is the day I am supposed to stop my spray. I might Tomorrow so I can eat something semi-good for Sunday dinner, but I'll think about it. I think I will do exactly what I did yesterday and keep that up for another day or two and see if I can't loose 1 or 2 more lbs. If I don't I need to be careful to not get to discouraged.

Todd keeps reminding me that 15 lbs isn't too shabby for the time I have been on the diet. I try to remember that. I am not trying to brag. It is hard to not want more. It's hard to remember no matter what I do, I won't be able to loose all of the 5 babies worth of fat in 3 weeks. I just need to stay determined to do the 5k and try to get myself into good shape.

Frustrated

So I gained another stinkin pound back. AHHHHHHHH!!! Todd and I were talking and he wonders if my body did go into a little bit of starvation mode. I might try adding in just a a few calories for a couple of days. I also emailed my cousin that sells it to see if he had any advice. Depending on what he says I might just take a little break, work really hard on being ready for the 5k and try again after that for a couple of weeks.

Don't get me wrong though. Just because I stop the spray does NOT mean I will go back to eating super crapy. I probably will stick to the menu for another day or two since I have the HCG still in my body after that, be EXTREMELY careful on my portion control and stick to a no sugar or starches. I need and want to be very aware of what I eat.

I have lost around 15 lbs and I DO NOT want that to change!!

Day whatever...ugh

Well at least I lost. I barely lost 1 lb over the whole stinkin weekend. UGH! I mean, at least I lost, but still only a pound?! I guess it's OK because I am still loosing and I was warned that it would slow down at the end I just was really hoping for something a little more.

I think for this last week I am going to up my exercise a little more. I think a big part of it is my body getting used to eating and functioning on 500 calories. I won't do anything about eating other than stay to my diet, but like I said up my activity a little more. It's SO tempting to end early but everyone says to not do it. So, I can do it, I can do it, one more week.

ONE WEEK LEFT!

I am so glad we are down to one week! I am craving something other than our 10 foods or so that we can eat. I really want to do good this week and loose another 4-5 lbs. I hope it works. I measured again this morning, but I haven't added up my inches. Not as much as last week probably one inch total. It feels good to be loosing. I went to the gym this morning also to try to give me a little extra boost.

#15

Boy, yesterday was a little rough. I didn't eat what I wasn't supposed to but I did eat little bigger portions of the ok stuff, plus monthly cycles in town so I gained .4. Enough to be disappointed but not discouraged.

Todd and I decided to not weigh over the weekend so when we weigh on Monday it gives us the last push to go for the last week. Tomorrow we have one more week then the two days. Yes, I know that means by Monday we only have a week left, but I break it down for my sanity.

My goal for the weekend is to be REALLY good and loose 2-3 lbs by Monday!
