ChiroHCG Week 3

I decided to end this particular diet a couple of weeks early. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, but reintroducing foods other than lean protein and fruits and veggies I knew would be difficult to do slowly if I waited until right before we left on vacation or right before Thanksgiving. So, Friday was my last day on my first round of this diet. You can do it up to 6 weeks but 3 was long enough this time, I had great results. I lost a total of 18.2 lbs and 13.75 inches. The following are the inches lost for each part of the body that was measured each week:



Neck: -1.25 in.

Shoulder: -2.5 in.

Chest: -2.75 in

Bicep: -.75 in

Waist: -2.25 in

Hips: -2.25 in

Thigh: -1.5 in

Calf: -.75 in

I will probably try to do another round after the new year, but for now I am trying to keep my calorie intake under 1200 calories and exercise everyday. I have found that sweets don't taste as good as they used to and that my body doesn't really like fatty foods like I once thought it did since ending this diet. I am also finding that I get full faster than I used to, I sure hope that this diet really did reset my thinking and how my body uses the food I eat. Until Friday! I sure hope Thanksgiving doesn't get the best of me this year.

Week 2 Results ChiroHCG

Today I went in for my week two weigh in. I lost 3.8 lbs this week and lost a total of 2.75 inches. That puts me at a total of 14lbs and 8 inches lost. I am excited to see what the next 3 weeks bring. I would have loved to have lost more pounds this week, but its 3.8 lbs more than I would have lost any other week. I just have to stay positive and keep in mind the what I have lost in total pounds and inches. Until next week!

Week 1 Results ChiroHCG

So I have great results, in one weeks time I have lost 10.2 lbs and lost a total of 5.25 inches. Measurements are taken of the neck, shoulders, chest, bicep,waist, hips, thigh and calf. So I didn't loose a significant amount of inches in any one place but, I am excited to continue with this diet plan. It's not easy and it definitely takes some discipline, discipline that I never thought I had. I am so proud of myself for making it a week and now on to week 2 and more weight loss and inches. I will post before and after pictures at the end of this journey! Until next week!

New Diet

For the past few weeks I have been considering starting a new diet that will be supervised by my chiropractor. It is called ChiroHCG, I started it on Wednesday and so far I feel great. And the reason being I feel great is because on Wednesday and Thursday I got too eat whatever I wanted in an attempt to consume 5000 calories (this helps to rev up your metabolism). And starting today I am now only eating 500 calories a day and taking HCG drops 3 times a day. I have no idea if this will work for me, but I have seen several other people have great results. The idea behind it is that the HCG helps your body to burn fat (keeping you from going into starvation mode) and it also helps to keep your blood sugar stable and suppresses your appetite. So I don't exactly have a weight update for you, since eating 5000 calories for 2 days I gained about 5lbs. I will be updating next Friday with my 1 week results of being on this diet. The plan is designed for 6 weeks, but I will only be doing 5 weeks since we have a vacation planned for the first week in December. Also after the 5 weeks I will try to go into a maintenance mode and then possibly try the diet again after a month or so. Until next week!

Weigh in Week 2

I will just start with it has been a bad week, I gained 1 lb, but on the bright side I lost 1 inch in total this week. I only exercised one day and ate terribly. The kids had the stomach flu for four days, so this week is being chalked up to life happening and me having zero control over it. Not that I am really in control of things anyways, God is, but it is really hard to make for yourself when you have sick kids. I started "Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred", this will actually be my third time doing it in the last year. I am hoping to eat better this time around so I can really get results. I love this workout, it is only 20 minutes a day and it claims to "take the place of hours in the gym", I will say that I think by following a strict diet and this program you could really see wonderful results. I however don't do so well with the strict diet, so I am going to go with trying to eat a good, healthy eating plan. Until next week, when I hope to have better news on my progress.

Weigh in Week 1

I have some good news and some bad news on today's weigh in, I weigh exactly same as I did last week, however I ate quite poorly this week as a whole so not gaining weight was a great accomplishment for me. This tells me how important my exercise routine is for me, I have been working out 30-40 minutes each day, utilizing workout videos created by "The Biggest Loser" franchise. As I said in a previous post, I love "The Biggest Loser" workout videos, they provide beginner moves and I know that I can use these and get a good workout. Also along with no weight gain this week, I lost 1.5 inches. I lost .5 off of my hips, waist and "love handles", this just happens to be one of the thickest parts of my torso, and I want to keep track of it whittling away. Ha! Hope you have a good week, I am going to try to focus more on what goes in my body this week, and continue to workout at least 5 times a week. Good Luck to You!

10-11-10

Started the day off with a "Special K protein shake" and a 40 minute workout. Had some leftover grilled chicken from KFC for lunch with a salad. For a snack I had a fruit smoothie and finished the day out with a baked potato topped with "Brummel and Brown buttery spread". I love this butter spread, it is only 45 cals per tablespoon and it tastes great. I also had an enormous ribeye steak that I shared part of with B. Dinner was sooo good. I would have to say that it was a good day on food choices, I am really proud of myself for going to town with my hubby and kids, hubby wanted to go to the cookie shop and get a cookie, I let him and the kids eat cookies and I didn't even sneak a bite of anyones cookie. That is a huge step for me, I am usually stealing bites of yummy treats from my kids when I am trying to watch what I eat. Even though my steak was a little large tonight, I did good with so many other choices today that I will forgive myself for indulging in my dinner.
