2.8 NEEDED TO LOSE TO REACH 100 POUNDS

6.8 loss so far – .6 more to LIW of Cycle 2 – 2.8 lbs more till I reach 100 lbs lost!

Loving life right about now. These numbers are too unreal – dare I say it? It is topping MY FOURTH ROUND – I am quite frankly AMAZED – no joke. 6.8 lbs in 3 completed days. I am gonna get into the 140′s before the week is up if I keep this up!

But seriously, I haven’t really wrapped my head around being in the 150′s and now already I am gonna have to deal with the 140′s??? What is up with that?

WOW

I had a really rough day yesterday (just really weak), and now today my back is hurting – I have come to the conclusion that something is going on with my body, it’s shifting or something – funky things are happening. I have not been this weight since the early 80′s – and something weird is happening to my muscles in my back.

During the first round, I lost an incredible amount of inches from my thighs and they were in a constant state of aching while on protocol. This time, I think I am dealing with back fat or something cause since Tuesday morning, some strangeness is happening back there – and now I am in bed, this is the 2nd day. UGH

Oh well, interesting to see what the future holds for me. Pictures should be interesting this round that is for sure.

I am short on time, so this is my update for today!!!

Let me go back to answering my commenters from yesterday:

Trudi – thanks for the wonderful words!  We have all been given a great gift, it’s up to us to use it wisely, give of it freely.  Thanks for being a part of my journey!  BTW – YOUR PICS ARE AWESOME!

4.2 NEEDED TO LOSE TO REACH 100 POUNDS

Well there it is! Another good loss, but today, I am walking around like a zombie – I feel very weak today – it is the third day, the worse of the protocol on average, so I will just chalk it up to normal detox stuff and live it thru.

Not hungry whatsoever.  In fact, I had so much Mexican food this past week that I am not even desiring it, which is usually my craving for the first few days.  What I am feeling is that inkling that TOM is on it’s way.  And right on schedule I must say, if you can call it a schedule???  My TOM’s have been all over the place on this protocol, I am wondering if they are now gonna start coming right on time.

No matter, it is what it is.

I wish I could think of more to say, but alas, I am not processing information well right now.  Tomorrow has to be a better day.

Let me go back to answering my commenters from yesterday:

Loretta – Thank you for such kind words.  I just write it as it happens.  Sometimes it’s good things, and sometimes, well it’s those times everyone finds out that I am human too.  Girl, 8 lbs isn’t so bad, try being 18!  LOL – oh gosh, I am so far removed from that now, how cool is that?  I miss you Loretta, thanks for being a loyal reader for all these months.

Jude – I already sent you an email but I wanted to say it here too – I don’t know where I would be without the support you gave to me in the beginning.  Really Jude, you were with me day in and day out thru my journey last summer – you were laying the foundation with me, we learned so much by chatting with each other so I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart.

Ok – that is all I can do for today – hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.

6.0 NEEDED TO LOSE TO REACH 100 POUNDS

As you can see, I am starting with my countdown to the 100 lbs lost mark again! 6 lbs away as of today! Quite a nice loss if I do say so myself for and overnight drop eh?

I posted this over at the My HCG Journey Community Forums this morning, just thought I would do the same thing here:

The convention was fun – it was fun watching people try to figure out who I was. There was one person in particular that saw me about 3 different times and I could tell she just couldn’t place me and then you should have seen her face when she figured it out! It was priceless.

On this past Sunday, at the inlaws, when we went to our Bible Study, a long time family friend was watching my daughter and I approached the building and you could see the look of confusion in his face, and he just saw me 20 lbs ago! I was like PAPA JACK! It’s ME! He is on protocol too so he knows to expect changes! LOL

I am just going to say this – with nothing else – Dr Phil said it best when he said “The best revenge is LOOKING GOOD” – and people, that is so TRUE! I saw some people that have not been that kind to me over the years and they had to swallow their pride when they saw me. I am not one to gloat, but peeps, I had to – it felt SO GOOD to be THINNER than them.

At times, very seldom, but it does happen, this protocol is a curse. You look at people differently, you start wondering if you should say something to these that are morbidly obese about this miracle you have found. It saddened me to see so very many people in this category, but I was actually scared to say something. Some of them are full of diabetes, and some are walking with walkers or canes, or worse yet, they are so big they have to be in motorized wheelchairs.

What do you do? It’s a quandary I tell you.

Anyhoo – when I was in Cali in mid Feb and mid Mar my niece (also did protocol) had given me a plethora of clothes, but in particular, 3 Ann Taylor dresses. While I was in Cali, I couldn’t get them ZIPPED, no how no way. They were all size 12 Petite. Gorgeous dresses, all black and white.

Each week on protocol I would take them out and try them on. About 2 weeks before the convention, I pulled them out like I usually did, and all of a sudden they FIT! Now I was worried if I might get too SMALL for them! And that actually DID happen! They were all a little too big around the top area, but I wore them ANYWAY!

Here it is – I am standing with JPS – but she doesn’t like anyone seeing her face so I blocked that out.

So what do you think? HA! I felt SO GOOD!

How is that for an update?
