An update!

After a very busy 4 days in NY City I am proud to announce that my weight has basically stayed the same since last reported... 168.6. This is still within the range of 2 lbs from my final number on the VLCD of 167.5. I am truly amazed because I have not been eating as well as I should be with all the traveling. I think my body does have another set point. I would love to be on the way down again but will take the leveling off for now. Goal was to get to 159 by end of summer. I will continue to weigh in. 

Summer break 6/23/2008

It's been a while since I have blogged and I just wanted to let everyone know that I have finished the first round of HcG (23 days) and will be taking a 6 week break. Great time of year for a break... summertime! I have maintained my weight of 167.5. So that is the good news. I do go up and down within 2 lbs, but I seeming can get rid of the small gains with a little thoughtful eating. I am very happy with where I am now and will keep you posted as to my weight over the next 6 weeks. My goal is to lose a bit more weight off of the HcG so that I can start the next round and be confident that I will not regain. So as of 6/23/08, I weight 168.5. I have kept up my exercising and will monitor that to see how that affects my weight. HcG rocks!!! 

Day 22

Well I have been in a holding pattern. Weight is 167 lbs for the last few days. I have had minor cheats, that is probably why my weight is at a stand still. I do seem to lack some energy but I still feel good and am very pleased to be nearing the 165 lb mark. 

I have a couple of tough days ahead because I am traveling by car to New England which will take about 3 days. I plan to pack a cooler full of healthy snacks but being on the road for so many hours gives me a long time to be thinking about food. Long car rides usually make me want to snack! I do seem bit more hungry by mid afternoon but I haven't eaten my apple during this time. I am determined to get to 165 by the time I reach my destination. 

Clothes are fitting much better. I am actually between sizes... a very loose 14 and a slightly tight size 12! That means that the size 14 clothes are being taken out of the closet and the size 12s are back in. Believe it or not, I have a range of sizes and I could probably not worry about buying any new clothes until I get down to an 8! What a problem to have. Wish me luck on my trip.
