Day 2

Today is day two of 40. Second day of fat loading, and I feel, to be blunt, like shit. These fatty food no longer like my body, and I feel like it's making me bloated!

Tomorrow starts day one of 500 calories and I am EXCITED! Ready to cleanse this body again! Gotta get my Aussie body, or I just wont have any clothes to wear when I go!

Will be doing more updates. I PROMISE! About every other day, since it helps to write about it.

I am more worried about getting back into a schedule of when I will eat. I only worry about this because I am working at my moms place now, and before I wasn't so it was easier. Something that will be new, is if I plan it right, I wont be eating my last meal at midnight. This might end up being a good thing or a bad thing. I will give it a week to see what is working.

Starting Over??

I have so failed myself! And it has taken almost a whole bottle of drops to notice this failness : [

I had the heart to heart with myself. What I have come up with is starting Saturday I am going to start the plan from day one. Before then I am still going to watch what I eat, so I wont gain anything. Then the start of Saturday, I will start my two fat load days, and then come Monday back to 500 calorie days.

To conquer my day job, I am going to go food shopping to have my food down there. Then Monday morning, I will go in early to pre pair the food in containers to have for my break meal, or to take with me when I leave for my second job for that week. This needs to work.

I made a goal to lose another 50lbs by July 16th, and I have 47 days to do it! I need to get my ass into gear, or I wont have any clothes to wear when I leave!!!

So please help me in my journey once again. The great comments and support, have helped me so much you wouldn't even believe. I love it when I go to work, and my co-workers can tell that I have lost weight and notice that I have changed my eating habits. And to have my family so proud of me makes me feel better as a person.

Ready...........set.............. here I go! Well starting Saturday!

Well Hello There

My has it been a  long time?! Yes it has. Well where to start.

I did my first 40 days and lost 50lbs. I feel so much better as a person and physically. Then it was time to go on the three week break with adding more calories. I didn't want to do this stage in the first place, I just wanted to keep going with my 500 calories a day until I left for Australia. Now I wish I had gone with my gut and stuck on that plan. During those three weeks I didn't gain anything but I didn't lose anything either, which jerks my chain. Granted I didn't eat the foods off the list, but was pretty darned close. I didn't gorge on food, I was still very aware of what was going into my mouth. With knowing what was going into my mouth, I slow started to add dairy, then found out NO dairy EVER again for Jessica.

I am about day 10 on the regular drops and back to the 500 calories a day. I did good the first week, dropped 10lbs. But then being a woman factored in and getting a flu bug that was going around work kicked my butt.

The flu was a stomach thing. So the whole two days I had ginger ale, crackers and PHO. Plus some ice cream. I was hungry any any rich solid food would make my stomach hurt all over again. It sucked, but as soon as it was over I went back to eating right. Then aunt flow came.

So aunt flo in town has kicked my butt this go around and I don't know why. When I first started the 40 days and aunt flow was visiting, I didn't want to pig out like normal. But this time she is making me want to EAT! I have been watching it though, short of. Don't judge me! I have been picking at things, not having the full serving though. It's just been all bad.

All the mean while, I have still been taking the drops, so I haven't felt hungry but I pick at things I shouldn't eat. Plus starting work at the waterfront again, isn't fun at all while on this diet.

It's time for a heart to heart with myself!!

More Breaking News. More Breaking Than The Last Time!

Well it has been two weeks. Been busy working. Oh AND been busy losing weight!

I am officially 43lbs down. It's super crazy. I am still not seeing it, but my mom says she can. I have a shirt that I bought last year, that didn't fit be, it was skin tight. But I wore it on Easter because it fit me!! I was excited.  What makes me even more excited, is that people that I work with have started to tell me they can see it.

So I have been having cravings. Chocolate. A burger and fries. But then I think about how much I have lost and home much more I was to lose. As I have been saying I need to get my Aussie body!! Also I have been really good at work. There is CANDY all over the place. And cookies all the time! But I don't even try to look at it. It's JUNK and BAD for this body!

So at day 40 which I am less than 10 days away from, I change up the food a little. The drops change as well. I get to add different fruits and veggies. Which I am excited to add the different kinds of food, because I am a little tired of some of the ones I have been having. I can't remember how many days I do the new drops and different menu. But it's for a short time, and then I go back to the original drops and menu.

 95 Days until my Aussie body needs to be ready. And I am getting there!

Until next time my dear family and friends. And I do promise to up date you more.

Breaking Freaking News!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So here is my update. A little behind but hey, here I am! 

So just an update on how much I am down. I am now 33lbs in 19 days!!! Can you super crazy!! 

I have gone through one bottle of drops and I am about half way through the second bottle. Now the cleanse drink. I CANNOT stand! They say I don't have to take it, but would like for me to use at least one whole bottle just to cleanse myself. But I can't do it, I wont do it! I CAN'T! 

Cravings come and go. But I get over them. I have added steamed cabbage as a veggie and OMG it tastes so good. 

 Going to the movies this weekend, that is going to be a test for me. I think I will sneak in apple slices so that hopefully will keep my mind off of movie popcorn!

Knock, knock..... Anyone There!?

So it's been a busy week. And I have so much to update on!! Forgive me. But it wont be until Tuesday that I can go into detail.

See you all then!

Every Diet Has It's Hard Times

And today was one of them. One of my more darker days during this diet. My lunch meal I had 2 ounces more of meat then I should have. Then I cooked up some chicken for my lunch for work tomorrow and I picked at that. GAH! I also was craving almost everything under the sun! I wanted pasta, a burger, french fry's, JUICE! I wanted it but I didn't have it.

Tomorrow is a new day! Back on track then!

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT: BREAKING NEWS!

I am lead to believe my scale is playing games with me. It says that I have lost 15lbs.

15lbs IS A LOT FOR ONLY 8 DAYS!! WHAT THE HECK MAN!

I don't get how docotors aren't on board with this, for people that need to lose a lot of weight. I know it's not for everyone. But I am so far a fan and will recommend it.

I might see about getting a new scale.

2 Meals at 500 Calories Total

Here are two meals I have made myself. I am almost afraid that I am going to get board of the food, but I am going to keep my head up and suck it up! 

The first picture is a lunch meal. It isn't showing the fruit since I eat that as the mid day snack. And the second one is a dinner meal. Doesn't seem like a lot, but the portions are perfect. I don't feel stuffed when I am done, I feel just right.

 

Lean beef patty with lemon and lime juice to season, cucumber with lime juice and Melba toast.

Lemon juiced chicken breast, half a grapefruit with one stavia packet, and a salad with fresh lime and lemon juice for the "dressing"

 

Update Alert!

I am down!!!! Okay so I told myself I wouldn't step on the scale until Sunday, because that was going to be my weigh in days. But I couldn't help it!

Since March 10th I am down 8lbs! WHAT! Crazy I know! I am very glad that this is working because I was worried that I had spent so much on something and then to not have it work. Maybe that is why I weighed myself early??

So, I don't ever feel hungry. I wake up take the drops, and have a cup of black tea with stevia. Then about two hours in, I have a fruit. I take that from my lunch meal, because after two hours of of being a awake with no good, I don't feel hungry but I feel week and need energy. Then I usually have my first meal at about 5 to 7, when every work gives me my break. And for my last meal of the day I eat when I am off work. Now back to the drops. Take them when I first wake up. Then about a half hour to an hour before my first meal, usually half hour after my fruit, I take the drops. Then this is where it gets a little tricky. Since I eat my last meal so late, my mind starts to get hungry, so I might take the last set of drops before I get off of work, which is any where from 9 to 11 PM. But if I'm not feeling hungry I will wait to take the drops a half hour before I eat. 

Things I need to work on. Maybe not eating so late. I need to speak to the doctor about how that might affect it all. I NEED to start taking the cleanse, it just doesn't taste so great. Then there is water. Water at work is never an issue, we have this great ice machine and a filtered water machine. When I work in the office I always drink at least 64oz of water. But when I am at home, it's hard for some reason. But I need to get it in gear and drink more water at home. 

I can't wait until Sunday to see if I have lost more. I work in the office tomorrow, maybe it's noticeable that I have lost? I doubt it, but I would be tickled pink if someone could notice already! 

Quicky

I have decided not to share my weight. But to only share how much I have lost. I am overly ashamed at myself that I let myself get this deep. This blog was meant for me to share with friends and family and I haven't yet because my weight was holding me back.

So I have finally posted it on my facebook to share with everyone. Instead of sharing my weight, I am just going to share how much I have been losing. I will still share my measurements as soon as I get a cloth tape measure. 

And their off!

So Saturday and Sunday, I loaded up on fatty filled foods. All the last minute snacks I could think of, that I know I will crave. Then on both days, before eating I would take the 17 drops and then wait a half hour before eating and/or drinking. 

Things I have noticed so far. When eating, I got full faster and stayed not hungry longer. Also I seem be more thirsty. The drops have a taste kind of fruity and when under my tongue seem to make it numb. 

Monday starts the 500 calorie day still taking the drops three times a day. I am scared because I don't want to be hungry. But I want to lose the weight! Monday I am going to the store to get food for the week. I will also be getting a cloth tape measure. So I will be listing my numbers as soon as I get that. The plan is to weigh once a week and then every two weeks take my measurements. This plan says to weigh yourself every day, but I don't like that, so I am doing it weekly.

I know I said I will be posting pictures as well. But OMG! It is something I need to share. So they will be getting posted Monday evening as well. 

*on a side note. I am still trying to figure this whole blogger thing out. I can't figure out how you can look for blogs. I want to read others about weight loss. So that is in the works as well. Because I would love to share other stories of other peoples weight loss journey.* 

Do as the Doc Says

These are the products I will be using. This is what was recommend for me but might not be right for everyone.

 First is the drops

Then there is a cleanse.

Then the Proargi that for my age I don't need but I want to see what good it might do for me.

Lastly is the Progesteron Creme which replaces the HGC from the drops. I use this Creme because of my age. For other ages there would be two different cremes.

Quicky

I am starting to get excited. I am not starting until Saturday, because that starts girls weekend and there will be lots of food to load up on for the first two days of the drops. *this might be explained more from the link in the first post. 

Since I will be away this weekend, I will post my first set of measurements and weight Sunday night. From there it will be weekly weigh ins, with updates on measurements every two weeks. 

Here is a to a better life!

Just the Run Down

I don't remember one day in my life that I was under 275lbs. Now at the age of 23 and I am ready to make a change.

There are times that I ask myself, how am I still alive? Someone that does this to themselves shouldn't be living. People say that you are what you make yourself. Which is true. I made myself this way! That is why I am going to get myself out of it. Being on diets almost my whole life I know what works for me and what doesn't work. Weight Watchers, Atkins, and low cal. Been there done that.

This is go time baby! Time to stop treating myself this way and start doing good for myself.

You can call what I will be doing the cheater way out. I don't care. I'm gonna do it a new to see if it works for me and since I have so much to lose, I believe and paid professionals think so as well.

Skinny Up Drops is what I will be doing also formally known as the HGC diet. This one is a little different since the HCG has been taken out of the drops.  Here is a link to more information on  the Skinny Up Drops/Diet:


http://www.skinnyup.com/index.asp 

http://www.skinnyup.com/diet.asp 

The first link is the the home page of Skinny Up! And then the second one has some great videos that explain it all.

I will be taking photos of the products that I have and listing more information as to what I am going to be doing.

You might think this is a cry for attention. It's not. Since I will be documenting my progress any way, why not share? If this does work, maybe someone will read it and make a change in their life as well. When I give the information of what I will be eating and what products I will be taking some of you might not think it's right or not healthy. Just know that this is my life my choice and if it works for me then I am going to do it. I am also going to be the most truthful I can about this plan. Trust me this is hard to share this with friends and family as well, because who likes to share their weight no matter how fat or thin you are. Just know I would love the support and if you want to join in I am a great support team as well. I will be doing weekly postings of mesurements and weigh-ins plus writing about any struggles or non-struggles that have occured.

My plan is to keep doing this until I am at a goal weight. I don't have every little thing planned out just yet, but I within the next two days I will have it all mapped out and share. I have to have it mapped out no later than Saturday 03/10/12 because that is when I will be starting the drops. But as the titles says this is the run down. Kind of all clustered together.
