Last day

I decided that I'm just doing 23 days of injection. I am now going thru my 72 hours without HCG but still on the VLCD. My last injection weight (LIW) is 143 lbs. That's a total of 16 lbs loss for my first round of Phase 2. I'm happy for now. I can always do round 2. I decided to stop now so by Christmas eve, im already on phase 4. That means I can slowly incorporate back starch and sugar. Im only thinking about eating the Christmas Ham with sliced bread :) haha I dont want to miss out on that.

3 weeks of diet is just about enough for me. Anything more than that is pure torture. The best part about this is short round is I didn't cheat and stuck with the diet. Plus, I cant wait to go out to walk and bike. I need to firm up too. My rapid weight loss made my body kinda loose.

Phase 3 is a challenge as well. It says in the book that I shouldn't go beyond 2 lbs from my last injection weight which is 143 lbs. I should stabilize at 143lb in this phase despite eating more than 500 calories. I'll just update you guys on this.

Lastly, I really want my friend, Pearl to try this diet. We have been struggling with our weight problem for so long. Pearl, you'll be amazed with this diet cuz you'll be seeing results right away.

Wow!!! This is why this diet is amazing and encouraging. I wouldn't have lost all these in 20 days. Plus, no exercise!!! that's the best part haha It's still hard work and it's all worth it. Im still far from my goal but I'll get there next round :)

VLCD - Day 19

I lost a total of 15 lbs. since I started my VLCD. Wow! This is really great cuz I can't lose this much in such a short time. I'm just finishing up what's left in my vial and I'm done for this round. I think I really should stop at this point cuz I've been having dreams of cheating! haha Last night I dreamt that I ordered 4 kinds of cake and I ate them all. What the heck??? LOL! It's time to stop torturing myself. Last night when I watched a movie, I was so tempted to buy myself a burrito and gobble it down. I had to stop myself from doing it. Then I wanted popcorn but just bought water instead. More than the cravings, its the hunger that's causing me to think all this. I wasnt satisfied with my dinner last night. I think im getting immune with the HCG or it can also be that the needle that i used for the last 2 days were short. It's only 5/16 of an inch. I used 1/2 inch the whole time but I ran out of them. I'm going to buy a couple of the 1/2 inch needles later. I'm so excited about my weight loss. I will definitely go for a second round to lose the last 15-20 lbs. Wanting to be 125 lbs is a little bit pushing myself too much. I should only be at 130 lbs, which is a healthy weight for me.

What's amazing too is that at my present weight of 144 lbs, my body looks like it has reached 130lbs. This diet really transforms the body. You get more curvy. It's like you lose the fat in the right places. My back fat has tremendously reduced. It's hard to explain...you just need to experience it yourself. Depriving your body of sugar and carbs does your body good! I remember doing the diet-pills and I still eat carbs and sugar but in moderation only. It took me months to lose weight but with HCG, it only took 19 days of very low calorie diet (VLCD). The work your put in while taking the diet pills is the same as the work you put in with HCG! This is great! I'm glad I tried it! I'm never going to be fat again! whooo hoooo!

VLCD - Day 12

Wow!!!! I've lasted 12 days on this diet and I've lost 11.5 lbs!!!! whuuuuutt! This is amazing! I have no headache or hunger pangs. But the craving is there sometimes so I choose to just keep myself busy and stay in bed! haha I have no social life for the last 2 weeks. It's just a bit of sacrifice. I don't really want to go out and torture myself. It's only a month of sacrifice. It's not that bad!

For my cravings, I stick my nose in the cookie jar. Just by smelling the oh so yummy chocolate crinkles, it satisfies my tastebuds already. I will be able to eat that in a couple of weeks so I'm not trippin. I only have about 10 days left on this diet. It's up to me if I want to extend it or not. I might want to take it slowly. Losing 10 lbs in such a short time might make me loose and sagging. I think I need to do some cardio and prolly some yoga.

I really want to be stick thin! I'm kinda round even if i lose so much weight. But I don't think it's impossible cuz my best friend who has always been voluptuous became stick thin when she lost more than 50 lbs. Who would have thought, right es? I need to lose all this fat so my bones will show! I'm soooo excited. Hope I can achieve that.

Good luck to all those who are on the protocol or those who are thinking of trying it. But I'm telling you! Go for it!!! it's amazing! I now have a miracle drug to fight my obesity.

I HATE FAT!!!!! NO ONE HAS TO BE FAT!!!!!

VLCD - Day 7 (I'm still alive!)

I made it thru week 1 of VLCD and it was a tough week. For most part, I was struggling. I was light-headed and faint. Just this weekend, I was just in bed most of the time. It could be the dose. Today, I increased my dosage to 200 iu and felt somewhat better. So we'll see tomorrow. I should be adjusting by this time. If not, I plan to mix another batch to see whether it will make a difference. My brother is also struggling. 500 calories a day is no joke!

I've lost 8.5 lbs so far. I only lose 0.50 lbs a day lately. I wish it was 1 lb a day but I've anticipated that since I've read that hypothyroid patients do only lose 1/2 compared to other people.

I'll update again soon. I'm really struggling and needs to stay focused, otherwise, I'd fall out.

VLCD - Day 4

I lost another pound. I'm down 7 lbs. Yay! But not yay to how im struggling. haha i'm still hungry! It's really hard for me. So I'm sure I'll be sad if I don't lose 1 pound every morning. I have to know though if the mix of food I'm eating makes me stall. Today, I had ground beef and cucumbers for lunch and for dinner, bangus grilled with tomatoes in foil. it was yummy. Wish it wasn't just 100 grams.

I'm sure phase 3 will be easier cuz portions are not limited and I can add eggs. Yay! That's no so far away...that less than a month away. I need to stay focused....fat or thin???? thin of course!!!! Let's say no to FAT!!!! no one has to be FAT! it's the worse thing you can do to yourself. For reals!!!

My motivation really is losing so much weight so fast! so imagine in 10 days, i'll be down 17 lbs!!! wowoweeee! Good luck to me.

VLCD - Day 3

I lost 1.5 lbs when I woke up today! yay! man! this diet works so fast. I mean, even if I try to eat less and exercise a little, I wouldn't lose 5 lbs in a week! This is exciting. The hunger isn't that bad too. I felt hungry at around 9:30am. I just drank my green tea and I'm good. At around 11:30am I ate 3 slices of apple and felt better. For Lunch, I had ground beef will cucumber slices. I seasoned the cucumber with apple cide vinegar, onion and garlic powder and black pepper. It was good!!! haha Everything seems to be good when you're hungry. I wasn't able to finish it. I'm just going to eat the rest if I get hungry this afternoon.

Overall, I'm fine but I don't have the same energy I have when I eat all I want. But it's only day 3 VLCD, my body is prolly still adjusting. It's really not that bad! i can eat like this everyday, but with larger portions. I just can't wait till I lose all my excess weight. I'm going to have tilapia and spinach tonight.

VLCD - Day 2

When I woke up and weighed myself, I lost 3.5 lbs! wow!!!! that's amazing! I'm pretty sure its all water weight. but 3 lbs is 3 lbs! haha so there! I had an out of town sales meeting today and I had to be prepared with my food. I brought with me my lunch and dinner and 1 apple and 1 orange. I had to eat my lunch in the office while everybody went out. It was fine cuz I enjoyed my refreshing green salad with shrimp and orange slices. Today was not as hard as yesterday. I wasn't so dizzy...just a little hungry. I survived till 8 pm just snacking on the slices of apple and oranges i had. Not to mention my mom asked for 1 of the apple slices haha. My brother ate in KFC as we drove back home. It was a 2 hour trip. Anyway, I ate my prepared dinner in KFC. haha so what! I didn't care. I didn't finish 1 slice of the chicken breast and the spinach.

But man!!! I was looking at the chicken pie and spaghetti like crazy when they were served in the meeting! haha I had to munch on my apple. And when we entered KFC that night, wow! the aroma was overwhelming. haha But I'm glad I didn't get tempted. I'm here to succeed! hihi I slept early too.

VLCD - Day 1

Today I started with my VLCD. I woke up at 8am and excitedly injected my belly with HCG. (This is the most exciting part of my day) After about 45 minutes, I felt really light-headed. My body was craving for sugar. When I get dizzy, I always pop in a piece of candy. But this time, I can't do that. I knew I wasn't hungry and I have no appetite at all. It was just the dizzy feeling that's bugging me. So I went ahead and sliced up a Fuji apple. I ate 2 slices only cuz I'm reserving some for later. I had tea as well. I was okay after that. Took a shower and all. I decided to eat at 11:30am before I get overly dizzy again. They made me grilled chicken breast seasoned with Rosemary, Braggs aminos and lemon. Then for my veggies, steamed spinach with garlic. It was actually good! haha except that the chicken was kinda dry. But taste wise, it was good. After my lunch, i had another slice of apple. I think the spinach cooked for me was too little. Next time, I'm going to have the whole 230 gram package cooked for me for 1 meal. Tonight, I'm going to have grilled shrimps and greens which I will sprinkle with fresh Orange juice and some balsamic vinegar. That should be good!

I hope I don't get dizzy when I drive around. I'm going to bring the slices of apple with me to the mall just in case I need sugar. Anyway, tomorrow will be challenging. I will have an out of town meeting. I'll just bring my stash with me. I'll update again later before I go to sleep.

Day 3 - still loading

I decided to do a 3 day loading. I'm just making sure the HCG has kicked in. I'm done loading. I feel like having a heart attack with all the food I ate these past few days. But the truth is, I really have quite an appetite. I can really do this every single day. haha the only difference is that I skipped all the sweet stuff and the carbs. Im really not sweet-toothed. I'm a carbs person. I can eat 2 cups of rice per meal hahaha and I can eat bread the whole day. With loading, I skipped all that and just stuffed myself with fats.

Today, I ate 5 hotdogs, 2 slices of spam, an egg and 1/2 cup of rice for breakfast! haha I had a regular lunch...tuna mayo sandwich for snacks...super big burger for dinner, some fries and some bbq chicken! hahaha what a pig! I'm really done gorging! haha

I only gained 3 pounds so far. I will see tomorrow how much more I gained when I weigh again. I can't wait to dive in the VLCD (very low calorie diet). I'm ready to lose all this fat. 35 lbs!!!! whoo hooo! goodluck to me.

The only thing I noticed though since I started injecting HCG is that I sleep early and wake up early. Like at 10pm, I'm so ready to go to bed. I usually sleep at 1-2am. I'm up by 8am. I think it's my excitement to inject myself. Also, my acne which has been bothering me for months, kinda halted. I dunno if its all in my head. We'll see. I have a long way to go. By the way, I'm loving the 31 gauge and 5/16 syringe. The needle is so short and thin. This time, i didn't get a bruise. Yay! I wonder how many bruises my belly will end up with. haha

I loaded 3 syringes for my brother who will be traveling out of town. I hope the potency doesn't wear off since he didn't pack any ice with it. He has about 60 lbs to lose. I hope we both become successful in this journey.

Day 2 - up by 8:00am

OMG! I can't believe I woke up so early considering I slept at 2am. I'm so excited to inject myself! haha that's the MD in me. I weighed myself and I gained 2 lbs. Wow! not bad from all the fats I ate yesterday. Last night, I was eating till 1 am. The food was already up to my neck. I felt reallu stuffed. This morning though, as im writhing this blog, I can feel my tummy growling already. haha oh well!

I'm excited to eat today. I bought bacon and hotdogs. Im going to have that for breakfast. I also need to think of things I have to buy in the supermarket. I need to make sure I have food to eat so I can strictly follow the diet.

I can't wait to inject again tomorrow. Haha I hope 175 IU of HCG injection is the perfect dose for me. I'm also thinking if I need b12 shots. Maybe I'll just take the oral supplements. I hope it doesn't interfere with my weight loss.

8:40pm Update: There's a big bruise where I injected the HCG. I prolly hit a vein or something. Hope that's not too bad. Anyway, I'm still contemplating whether I'm going to take another day of loading. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Can't wait to inject again tomorrow.

Day 1

I kept waking up last night. I kept on checking if it's morning already. I couldn't wait to mix my HCG. I finally woke up at 9am...took my thyroid medicine first then started with mixing my HCG.

YOU WILL NEED: HCG in powder concentrate, Bacteriostatic water, syringes for mixing with replacement needles, alcohol pads, sterile glass vial and insuline syringes.

Of course, I just had to take a picture of my stash! haha Mixing it was a breeze. I've memorized it in my head for weeks. I've memorized when to put air or remove air from the pressurized vials.

With all the research I’ve done, I chose to use 5000 IU of HCG and mix it with 10 ml Bacteriostatic water and inject myself a daily mixture of 175 IU or 0.35ml of the mixture. I will be able to use this for 28 days.

Steps for mixing my HCG:
1. Clean the area with alchohol.
2. Open all the vials and wipe the top with alcohol swab.
3. Open the big syringe for mixing.
4. Take out 10 ml of air out of the Sterile Glass vial.
5. Take out 8ml of Bacteriostatic water and transfer it to the Sterile glass vial.
6. Take out 2ml of Bacteriostatic water and inject in the HCG vial. (DO NOT SHAKE the HCG mixture. It will dissolve even without doing anything to it. Just gently swirl the vial and you’re good to go!)
7. Take out the 2ml of HCG mixture using your mixing syringe and transfer it to the sterile glass vial with the 8ml bacteriostatic water.

DONE!!!!!!! It’s so easy. You now have a mixture good for 28 days.

I got some foil and wrapped it around the clear glass vial. I’ve read that it should be in a dark environment so the potency will last longer. After that, I went ahead and injected myself with 0.35 ml using my 29 gauge (.5 cc) ½” syringe in my belly.

I kept laughing before I injected myself cuz I suddenly was chickening out!!! Haha it was funny. But you know what? I didn’t feel a thing. That needle is sooooo thin that an ant bite would be 50x more painful. I’ve seen thinner needles though (31 gauge). I bet those will feel nothing at all.

After injecting myself, I put the HCG mixture in a zip lock bag and placed it in the refrigerator immediately.

The best part of this diet of course are the loading days! So I started off my breakfast with 4 slices of spam....yum!!!!!! then some lays potato chips. For lunch I ate fried chicken and veggies. Then for my afternoon snack, I ate 2 chicken pies. For dinner I ate in Pepper Lunch. Super yummy! I had sizzling beef and pork strips. I ate some more when I went to a party. I was eating till 1 am. hehe I hope im doing my loading right.

The day before the HCG diet

Today is Friday, and today is the last day of my gluttony. I can't stop staring at my HCG (Corion). I can't wait to be a mini-scientist and start mixing that stuff. I bought my HCG from http://www.alldaychemist.com/ and I really had a good experience shopping with them. http://www.drugdelivery.ca.com/ sucks though. I ordered from them last Oct. 6, 2009 and it's already Nov 6, 2009 and still no HCG. They suck! I got ripped off too with their high price.

I'm so excited with the loading days...the truth is, the loading days are my usual everyday intake! haha No wonder im this fat. It turns out that me and my brother will not be starting at the same time. I will go first cuz he will be out of town next week. We don't want him to start at the wrong foot.

Can I jsut share how ecstatic I am today? hehe I was in the US embassy today and my tourist visa was approved. It was a renewal actually. The Visa Officer spoke straight tagalog. It was akward though cuz I answered all his questions in English. It's really hard to answer in tagalog when you're mind has been thinking in english almost always. I'm just happy cuz I can go to the states anytime again.

So there! Tomorrow I will be updating about my first day of injection. I'm so tempted to mix the HCG tonight...but I feel it's best if I do that tomorrow so the HCG is fresh.

One more day...

TOM is almost over. I'm starting my first injection on Saturday. I'm so excited about mixing the HCG and bacteriostatic water and using the injections. haha what a weirdo. I can't wait to inject myself...for reals! I can't wait to lose all this yucky fat. How can I allow myself to gain all this fat...man! im 35 lbs over weight. I hate it. I feel like im a big ball of fat with a face. ewwwww! i cant recognize myself. I know I'm known for my square jaws, but man! im just a fat rounded faced girl right now. ewwwwww! i hate myself for eating too much. The worse part too is not being able to fit in my clothes. I struggle every time I have to dress up. I have to wear yucky clothes just to be able to go out of the house with clothes. I look like a tramp...super squatter looking! I really look like a poor person with mismatched top and pants. Last monday, i had to wear a dress to church just cuz i couldn't put on any pair of pants. i hate it! I refuse to buy new clothes!!!! I already said im not going to buy any clothes until I lose 10 pounds.

Can I still dwell on being fat??? hahahah When I'm fat i feel yucky....I dont have the energy to put on makeup...or even fix my hair. It's like a domino effect! when you dont feel good, everything else just seems to be crappy! I was in Baguio yesterday for work. In the room, when I was fixing my stuff, i was huffing and puffing. My brother was like, damn! you really need to lose weight. You're breathing hard. He laughed at me even more when I brought out my suitcase to the car. WTF! I hate my fats! I really really want to get mad at my fats so I will never allow them to come back.

Anyway, I'm hoping that I can lose as much weight as normal people who are not hypothyroid. I've read that people with hypothyroid will lose less weight. If i have to go thru 3 rounds, I'll do it. I'm here to succeed! I despise fat...so I need to stick to this HCG protocol. All I can say is that I'm super excited to start on saturday! I keep staring at the HCG and bacteriostatic vials...can't wait to mix em. haha

So there! Good luck to me and I'll keep updating my journey.
