I lost 4 lbs immediately on the 3rd day, down to 244 lbs. On day 4, I had dropped to 241.5 lbs I was liking this plan. I felt like I had more energy and I felt lighter, less weighted down. The weight was coming off and I was delighted and in very positive moods. I had some Cravings coming in a little but I was able to curb those, just old habits I did hear some place that it takes 22 days to kick a habit, Damn it was going to kick this munchie habit. I managed to lose a little weight every day until April 13th. I gained 1 lb and I put a sad face in my journal. How funny. I lost a total of 10 lbs in 14 days. NOT to shabby, I'll take it.
Things are rolling great and I went out with some friends and had a few cocktails I had not drank at all on this program, but I 10 lbs into it I was ready for a drink and some socializing By April 18th I was 229.5 lbs. After my adult cocktails I gained 5 lbs back up to 234. lb SO not worth drinking to be set back by 5 lbs. It took me 5 days to take that back off to get back to 229.Who would have thought that just a few drinks and some appetizers would have cause such a gain. I have not seen 229 in years and I was going to keep going.
I posted a lot on the hCG Activator Facebook page. I bet they got pretty sick of me but it helped to put it all out there for accountability. Dosage questions, food questions, even private stuff that sometimes you are afraid to ask . I did not want to mess up and this online source was life savor. I received nothing but positive feedback and praise for sticking it out, even on those bad days. I was so grateful to have an online source of other people on this plan and the support to answer questions. I developed some great online friendships from this experience still talk to them today. A big shout out to my wonderful hCG family Thom, Brenda, Larrisa, Renae and Rachel plus many more that I have encountered. We have all over come some harsh challenges and are stronger for it.
I also kept my journal current of how I was feeling, my energy levels and my food choices. I look back now and am thankful that I kept track of it all. It's so funny the things that I recorded. Did you know that May 10th 2011 My son was home sick from school and I stayed home and had a piece of carrot cake?. Makes me laugh to look back on this but it kept me going
