I need some help because I just can’t figure this out….

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

I need some help figuring out what I am buying – hoping that you guys could help me!

Here is what I *think* I want to buy:
HCG PREGNYL 6500 I.U. 250MCG (OVITRELLE)
It’s a 1X.5 ready use needle?

Is this 1 shot? If so then thats NOT what I want – but that said, what in the world DO I want?

Can someone please explain and make it so I can do this – I’ve been waiting until I had the money and finally do and want to start…

TIA!

I am happy because

For me, i can say it’s finally working I don’t feel hungry/cravings as often, my sugar/carb cravings have disappeared, my energy is back, and my geans feel much more comfortable than the last time i tried them. And i have stayed on plan for a whole week with no cheats

Thats all the motivation that i needed to stay on plan

So what’s good on your side

Just Because It’s The Holidays Doesn’t Mean

you have to get merry with all the food.

No way am I letting the season get me off track. "Just one" will hurt me so I’m just saying no and eating just like any other low carb day.

Anyone else on board?

S/O: I’ll call goal because my Doc said it was okay!

I have too many pics of me being a big mama and not as a hot mama. I’ll post pics later. (I’m wearing a new outfit this morning and I know the guys at work will be taking pics!!!)

From 214lbs. to 186lbs. to 169lbs. to 159lbs. to 149lbs. to 139lbs. to finally, finally 127lbs!

Man, what an incredible journey and roller coaster this has been!

Thank you all!

Just Because, Josie’s Journal

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Whoo hoo can’t believe I have never taken advantage of this part of the forum before. I am a blabber mouth and worry wort and journaling would surely help release some demons.

So where I am at now is near the lowest (weight) I have been able to get to since having kiddos, 8 years ago, 132lbs. I once got to 125 but it didn’t last long. I am 5′3" and have a goal of 120lbs. I chose this goal because that is where I was before having my first child and pretty much my whole adult life to that point. I was happy at that weight and didn’t feel too fat or too thin. It has been hard to get lower than 130lbs I tell ya.

I have also had some major flub ups in the past 3 years or so. At two different times I let myself go and just ate whatever I wanted and gave up exercise and I shot up to 145lbs. Well since January I have lost back down to 132lbs. I exercise, doing weights 3x a week and cardio 3x a week. I build muscle easily and was an athletic girl in my youth in all sorts of sports. I see my body changing but it seems to go slower and get harder the closer I get to goal. Right now my measurements are:

waist – 27"
bust – 35"
hips – 35.5"
thighs individually – 24" (blah my worst spot)
thighs together measured just below the butt – 38.5"

I may later post other measurements but these are the ones I care about most. My arms are looking great, as well as my calves. My darn boobs keep shrinking though! Sorry if that is TMI.

As far as my diet, at this point I am not really strict as far as writing down what I eat or going super low carbs. Most days I would say I have between 20-40 carbs and have been losing slow and steady which is fine with me. An average day’s diet would be:

B: eggs and coffee or a protein shake
L: tuna or other lean meat and large salad with low carb dressing
S: cheese or yogurt, maybe some raw veggies
D: meat such as burger patty, steak or chicken and veggies.

I admit I eat some foods that may be considered too high carb like some higher carb fruits and veggies like a baked potato now and then. I stay away from all grains as I still stall on them or gain. I think something clicked with me lately to allow a few more carbs so that I can ease into maintenance. Before I wanted to stay at induction levels all the way to goal because I lost faster but what would I have done once I got there? Not to mention when I go that route I end up cheating or even binging now and then, not good.

Ok so I have blabbed a book and don’t blame you guys if you don’t read it all. It mostly for me to vent, keep accountable and write down my daily/weekly progress.

I’m doing this because I love me…..

I want me to know that. I want you to realize how unhealthy you have been eating,my sweet Becca. You have got to change your bad habits! There is no better time than the present to commit to something and really stick to it. Fight to the end, woman!! There once was a time when you were so strong, so determined to achieve your goal, no matter what! Today is the day that you dig deep within yourself and bring that person out for good. Start being honest with yourself and stop making excuses for your bad eating habits because you are only lieing to yourself….Girl…you have so many clothes in that closet that would look GREAT on you once you reach that goal….and not to mention how PROUD & CONFIDENT you will be when you are 20 lbs lighter! You are beautiful….you’ve got spirit, you can do it!! You just gotta believe in yourself! Don’t try to be something your not, don’t try to do this for anyone else but YOU! You deserve this and you CAN accomplish this! I have faith in you….now is the time to take the reins of your life back from the evil one…and start living the life you were meant to live!! YOU CAN DO IT! Go gurl!
