R2 VLCD Day #17: -1.7lbs (AKA: Stall Stall Go Away, Come Again... in Phase 3)

So for the last four days I was on a wicked stall! I was barely losing any weight each day although I did come down about 0.4lbs. I blame it on the eggs, which sucks. I cut out the eggs again and after a few days I started coming down again. Yesterday I lost 0.5lbs and then today, TADA... I lost 1.7lbs. Let's hope that keeps up so I can keep dropping the weight!

I read today that 165lbs is the average weight of women in North America. I doubt 5'1 is the average height though because I'm still lookin pretty chunky. I almost weight less than my fiancee though! That will be exciting when I get under 165... he's 6'1, mind you, but STILL! It's the principle that matters.

Now, I am expecting another stall here soon because TOM is back. A week early, no less. Bastard. But it's also my birthday this weekend and I fully expect to have a cheat day. I am craving some cajun chicken from Earl's. *drool* I must admit that this second round is harder than the first. During the first I was still all crazy gung ho and wasn't sure what to expect but now that I've been there done that I don't feel so afraid of screwing up... which is bad. Fear is the best way to stay on a diet, dammit. I am still losing weight though and it feels amazing but I hope I can lost my goal of 20lbs on this diet. I'm off to a good start and I'm sure I'll hit it, I will be at the half way mark in 3 days which hopefully means I'll lose another 15lbs in the next 3 weeks.

Wish me luck!

R2 VLCD Day #12: -0.1lbs (AKA: WARNING! Graphic Content... kinda...Injection Video!)

Lame loss today but at least it's not a gain! I worked extra hard today to lose more tomorrow but blah blah blah diet stuff, I know what you're waiting for... my injection video!!

Now, due to multiple requests (my mom asked me twice), I have decided to upload a video of me doing my daily injection. Warning! Kind of graphic... if you're 10. It's not that bad, I don't look as teeny as I'd like but it gets the point across for now. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. This is fair warning that if you do not like needles or blue shirts then DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO! For those that especially like blue shirts and do not mind needles or have a morbid curiosity then please enjoy.

Now! Wasn't that educational? I'm also putting together a video of my before and after pics. I'll let you know when I add that! If there are any other videos or pics you would like me to put up, please do not hesitate to request them.

R2 VLCD Day #11: -0.9lbs (AKA: Eggs - Get Cracking)

Down almost a full pound today! I have lost 35 lbs from the beginning of my first round to this very morning at 7:30am. Oh man am I in heaven or what?! I'm only a quarter in to this diet and am kickin ass and taking names! Woo!

My facialist, whom you know is also on this diet, told me that she had had some hard boiled eggs when she was doing this phase which is amazing since I didn't even think about eggs! This is what Dr. Simeon says about eggs and Phase 2:

"Occasionally you can have eggs in lieu of a meat. 1 whole egg and 3 whites poached, boiled or even scrambled."

This is so exciting for me! I love hard boiled eggs and am totally sick of grilled chicken and mini-burgers. I was kind of hungry the other day and just needed something solid and ta da! I grabbed a couple of hard boiled eggs from the grocery store and devoured them. Both whites, both yolks. I was nervous about the second yolk as it suggests you only have one but what do ya know? The next morning I'd had a full pound loss! No adverse effects to the eggs at all for me. Yipee! I've been eating hard boiled eggs for a few days now and I'm still losing like crazy. Have I mentioned how much I love this diet? I have? Oh. Well. There ya go.

Tomorrow I will upload a special treat for all of my dedicated readers out there! I will be uploading a video of me injecting myself!! Yaaaaay..........

Hey... why did it get so quiet in here? Hello? Oh jeez... will somebody grab that chick some water? She's looking kind of green... Okay, good times. So yes, a video of me stabbing myself (gently, this time) with a teeny tiny needle and injecting myself with pregnant lady pee horomones. Man that sounds like the next viral video, doesn't it? I think I'm going to be kicked off of youtube.

Tune in tomorrow, kids! Same Bat time, same Bat channel!

R2 VLCD Day #7: -3lbs (AKA: Lost 10lbs in 7 days? Uh yea, I Think I Can Handle That!)

Woop woop! I am incredible! HCG is incredibleist! 11lbs in 7 days. So far I am kicking the crap out of my last round and honestly, I will be thrilled if I lost 20lbs this round but absolutely epically ecstatic if I lose another 30lbs and so far it is going hella well! I didn't blog all weekend because I had an event on Friday night that I was working. My friend (let's call her... Stiff.) and I were working all day from 12pm to 10pm and didn't get back to my place til close to midnight. Nevermind the fact that at this event we were surrounded by delicious food. Two cheese tables, one focused on goat cheese (my fav) and many different fruit platters. Yet somehow I avoided all of it. Sheer willpower kept me from devouring all of the food in sight but I figured the loss would be so much better because I had been working for so long, standing and lifting heaving things etc.

The only problem is that we went to bed around midnight and woke up at 6am so Stiff could catch the ferry back nice and early. This means that a) I only got 6 hours of sleep and b) I had to weigh myself 1.5hrs earlier than normal. Unfortunately, these things led to me gaining 2lbs!! I almost had a heart attack! But at least now I know just how incredibly important sleep is for weight loss. Lucky for me, today I lost 3lbs which makes up the difference from yesterday and additional loss for today. I need to be extra careful to have a nice long sleep every night and to weigh myself at the exact same time every day. So important.

Anyway, starting week 2 tomorrow, let's hope for just as good a loss!

R2 VLCD Day #4: -1.8lbs (AKA: Nom nom nom nom nom... Yummy Food Today!)

Another 1.8lbs down this morning! Very impressive loss, is it not? If I keep going at this rate I'll lose 10lbs in one week which would be totally amazing! 

Another amazing thing is the food I had for dinner tonight. My friend (let's call her Rambo) sent me this salad dressing from Toronto a couple of weeks ago. It's balsamic vinegar and it touts  "Calorie Free Salad Dressings. No calories, fat, carbs, gluten or sugars of any kind!" ...you must be thinking what I was thinking: Ew. Right? After she sent it I had a little taste and it was okay but nothing special, the special part are the ingredients! See the nutritional info below:




Now, if you've been keeping up to date, these are all things I can actually eat on this diet! Basically any spices, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, mustard and up to half of the juice of a lemon per day. I am all over this shit! I would prefer to remove the things I cannot pronounce but for what the flavour is doing to my dry ass chicken and juicy tomatoes is incredible! I dumped this dressing all over my dinner tonight and I was in heaven! I can definitely eat this for the next 36 days, no problemo. Sooo yummy. Hey Rambo, wanna hook me up with another bottle? This one will be gone in no time.


Other than that, it was a pretty regular day. I am drinking loads of water and one Venti Americano every day (with Splenda, woohoo) and am really enjoying my time so far. No temptations as of yet, still too high on my loss every morning and after doing my first round, 36 more days just doesn't seem that long. It is just so worth it.


I am having more and more trouble with my clothing though, I can barely fit into anything, or at least it can't fit me...? How do I say that everything is too damn big? Whatever, anyway, the things I can fit in to that don't look ridiculous just clearly don't fit right. I want to go shopping so bad but just can't waste the money yet. I am so looking forward to shopping when this is all over though! Nothing better to keep me motivated then a new pair of jeans and not shopping in the petite plus size sections anymore. Does anyone know how to measure your dress size? I usually just went for the largest size and worked my way down until it fit right. I have clothes ranging from a size 12 to an 18 and they all fit the damn same. 


Ah well, that's for future me to worry about. Also, future me is incredibly happy and past me is super jealous... in fact, current me is super jealous. Boo-urns future me.. also, you go girl. That made sense, right?

R2 VLCD Day #3: -2.1lbs (AKA: 5.7lbs Lost in Two Days... AGAIN!)

Yahoo! Down 2.1lbs this morning! That makes it 5.7lbs lost in only my first two VLCD days! Same as last round except it was only 5.1bs, ooooh I am already off to an amazing start over half a pound over last round!!! Let's hope this keeps up!!  Clearly my facial and the Splenda had no adverse effects. Lucky meeeee! I like Splenda much more than I like Stevia. It just doesn't blend as well with coffee although the flavoured drops are pretty good... but I still prefer Splenda.

Today, unfortunately, I had a wicked tummy ache all day while working. I had chicken and an apple for lunch so that helped calm my tummy but I should have grabbed a cucumber or lettuce to go with them because my cherry tomatoes did not help. Maybe they're too acidic? I think it's because I haven't been taking my fiber this round so as soon as I got home I had a big glass of water with some 100% acacia fiber and I felt considerably better! Gotta remember to have that in the mornings so I don't suffer anymore. I didn't feel hungry today just a grumbly unhappy tummy for a couple of hours. I am feeling sooo much better now that I'm home and have had my dinner as well.

I had steak for dinner although it was cooked yesterday and just reheated tonight, that is not very good. I think I'll stick to my burgers when I am having beef for a meal. I am also considering trying prawns, my friend said she eats prawns every once and a while and it has still worked, she even said she has had two hard boiled eggs (only one yolk) for breakfast and it also went over well! Lucky me! I love hard boiled eggs and my dogs love the yolk so that's nice for all of us.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I like weighing myself before bed too and when I wake up in the middle of the night so I can watch the scale go down but I am still shocked at how much of a difference an hour makes! I always weigh myself at the same time each morning and man do I love 7:30am. Oooooooh I am just so fucking happy right now. I was totally scared that it wouldn't work this time, for some reason. You have to leave at least 6 weeks in between your first and second round and even longer between your second and third and I was just so scared that the 6 weeks wasn't long enough or that last time was just a fluke. I keep thinking... man, this is too good to be true! But no, I lost 30lbs and it stayed off for 6 whole weeks and now, I'm losing even more and it will stay the fuck off! Maybe by the time next summer comes I will be able to wear a bikini for the first time in my life? Who knows but a girl can dream and man... these dreams are good.

People are actually starting to notice the loss, I went to visit my mom and stepdad last week and they both said it made a huge difference. My mom says my butt is smaller and Howard says my face actually has a shape (other than round). The before and after pictures totally speak for themselves but man it's nice for OTHER people to see the difference too. Even the girls I work with were saying I looked good. I am so thrilled... why the hell didn't I do this sooner? Oh thank you HCG. Thank you thank you thank you! Til tomorrow friends, and please... if this is a dream... don't ever wake me up.

R2 VLCD Day #2: -3.6lbs (AKA: Owwie owwie owwie! Damn You Needles!)

Firstly: Yahoo!! My first day of weight loss and I lost 3.6lbs! The exact same amount I lost on my first day of my first round. I'm very happy with that loss and look forward to hopefully losing another 30lbs in the next 40 days. Today was a little easier than yesterday, I cooked my burger up before work and packed all of my lunch. I felt no need to touch it before noon which was nice, the HCG seems to be working although I am still haunted slightly by hunger. The hunger should only last for a couple more days and then it will be gone, just like last round.

Secondly: I'm an idiot. For my injections it seems that I bought different needles then the ones I was using last round. The ones I had used before were made for "comfort" (riiiight...) but apparently that means that they have added a lotion or something to the tips so they slide in easier and you can barely feel them. These ones I have are not like that so they seem to pinch a bit more, nothing extreme just not as subtle. Once they are in they are painless but it takes slightly more effort to suck it up every day and stab myself.

Yesterday I thought I would get smart and do it like the professionals, a nice smooth jab! Quick and painless, right? Yea... that didn't work. I felt like I'd stabbed myself in the gut!! I was hopping around pinching my skin for a good 30 seconds cursing at myself for thinking I was a pro. Slow and easy wins the race, y'all. I have a small bruise on my tummy from my idiocy so that remind my not to do that again. Hmmm... I wonder how many people I've just completely grossed out with today's entry? Not so interested in the diet now, are ya? No worries, just so everyone knows, there is a sublingual version of the diet called the HCG drops. I'm not sure where to get these that are not homeopathic but if you do find them they involve no injections, just a couple drops under your tongue three times a day. A little easier but psychologically not as impactful. But, to each their own as long as it works!

Aside from hurting myself, I am curious about my weight loss tomorrow because while, yes, I followed all of the rules for eating; I did have some Splenda in my coffee this morning instead of Stevia, which is recommended, and I also had a facial. While on the diet you are supposed to avoid all moisturizers and lucky or unlucky for me, my facialist uses food based products such as an apricot scrub and a coconut mask etc. Interestingly enough though, my facialist is also on the HCG diet (thanks to me, woop woop) and she does these masks every day but she has still lost 17lbs so far! I think she'll lose about 20lbs total for the diet which is very impressive!! You go girl! To counter my facial I'm going to abstain from my Melba toasts today. No biggie!

Other than that, no cheats. I bought a battery for my new scale and it works perfectly. I made my chicken and beef for the next few days which will make it considerably more easy to stick to the diet. I am curious what the future of this diet holds for me as I will be on it for my birthday, Halloween and my fiancee's birthday! No fun will be had by moi. So worth it though.
