166.6 lbs. 36.0%
25 drops (7:30 a.m.)
AAAAH!!!! I have gained about 1/2 lb. over the last two days! I don't know if it's because of eating too much of 1 protein and not eating two different kinds Saturday night or not getting enough drops because of the trip or not getting enough water or because I'm ovulating. I could be retaining water for that or my slight sunburn. I could be retaining water for that. I am not cheating on the food, so who knows what this is about! I started taking calcium pills, that could be the culprit. It has cellulose in it. I don't know if that's a sugar.
I am hoping that I drop 2 lbs. in 1 day or something.
My shape is starting to look different. That is motivating.
I am going to up my drops, 20 drops 4xs/day. When my friend ordered them, the doctor told her to take 25 drops 3xs/day. I was starting out at 15 drops 3xs/day. I think that must make a big difference. Plus, I think I am going to spread out my food more. I am going to remedy, the amount of drops, spacing out food, right amount of water, and getting the proteins right. Then, I'll experiment with the calcium pills.
I am not quitting though!

Day 12 VLCD 166.4
166.4 lbs.
25 drops 2xs
We were travelling back from the dunes. So, I didn't get to take drops in the morning. I was too tired at night, so I didn't take them at night either. But, I had all my food. This time, I had Mahi Mahi for the fish. This is a questionable fish, but not prohibited in the manuscript. It's a white fish, though.
I didn't drink all my water. I missed out on about 17 oz.
I went to bed very hungry.

Day 11 VLCD 166.2
166.2 lbs.
25 drops morning
We went to the Sand Dunes to go 4 wheeling. We were planned on staying the night, so I didn't bring my drops. I didn't want to worry about packing them and keeping them cold.
I ate all my food throughout the day and also my water, but I didn't eat any protein until about 11 p.m. Also, I ate about 4-4.5 oz. of chicken at once in a foil dinner. I didn't switch proteins. I didn't prepare ahead of time!!
I was hungry all day.

Day 10 VLCD 167.0
167.0 lbs.
15 drops 4x/day
I am still hungry. Today, I'm tired, but that may be because I didn't get much sleep.
I am determined to finish this. Although, at this point, it feels like forever. I only had a .4 lb loss. At least it is a loss.

Day 9 VLCD 167.4
167.4 lbs.
15 drops 4xs/day
I feel better. I am still a little hungry in the morning, but I am used to this now. I have started drinking my water earlier in the day. I am making sure that I get my meals around 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Now that I'm getting the hang of this, I am going to start cooking some chicken in bulk. For the steak, I make the 100 g portions, put some in the freezer and 1 in the fridge. Then I rotate them in the morning-1 out of fridge onto counter and 1 into fridge.
I have been using frozen white fish from Costco. The tilapia comes in individual packages. Each portion is about 100 g so it is nice. I just thaw it under hot water. It goes quickly, so I don't have to pull it out in the morning.
I just learned that you have to separate the melba toasts. I only ate them together one time, so I don't think that did anything.

Day 8 VLCD 168.2
168.2 lbs.
20 drops 3xs
I am feeling better, less hungry. I am tired though. That might be because my daughter isn't sleeping through the night.
I have no idea if the hcg is actually working. But, I am losing weight. Who knows if that's water weight or not. My fat % has gone down about 1.5%. Even if it's not working, I am still going to do this. I have decided to try doing 15 drops 4 xs/day.
Also, I need to drink more of the water at the beginning of the day. I am still drinking the required water even if it's too late. That's keeping me up at night too.

Day 7 VLCD 169.8
169.8 lbs.
10 drops/30 drops/20 drops
I am very hungry, so I decided to up the drops.
I think I'll drop posting the diet. Is that helping anyone?? Comments please?
It's pretty much the same every day. I have 2 different veggies everyday and 2 different fruit and 2 different protein. For veggies, I am just rotating through asparagus, tomato, onion, spinach, and cucumber. For fruit, I am rotating through 1 apple, 1 orange, 1/2 grapefruit, or 10 strawberries. For protein, I am rotating through very lean steak, chicken, and a fish of some type.
I didn't eat until about 5:00 p.m. I don't recommend that at all! So, I ended up making an evening meal and a very late meal. I had to make sure and get all the food in.
