Back Within 2 lbs of LIW

Well today I weighed in @ 171.3 lbs!!!! I was very happy =-) I have not eaten anything with carbohydrates in it since Sunday. On Monday I weighed 177.5 and today I weighed 171.3. I am hoping to get down to or below my LIW. Which will be fine because I have been working out really hard and running 3 and 4 times a week so I expect to loose more weight. I have 10 more days until my weight should settle down and I can eat a wider variety of food.

Phase 3 Day 7 174.3 lbs

I have been eating apples and oranges on phase 3 and have been unable to keep my weight stable!! Allot of water retention. I was even as high as 177.3 (This was at 5:30 am) I normally weigh myself at 7:00 am. I did not eat any carbs at all yesterday and lost 3 lbs over night!! and I can feel the difference in how bloated I feel as well. I have been working out with weight and running 3 days a week. I expect that tomorrow or the next day I will be with in 2 lbs of my LIW. if not I will do a steak day!! TTFN

Day 4 Phase 3 173.2 lbs

My weight is coming down just like it did when I was on my 6 week break in between Phase 2 rounds. Once it stabilizes it should be fairly normal. I have not paid too much attention to the amount of calories I have been eating. This next week I will track my calorie intake very closely. I am planning on continuing to work out and run 5 to 6 days a week. I want to take it slow so I do not injure my self. I will keep you up to date on my progress.

Day 3 Phase 3 173.7

Well I am 3.7 lbs over my last injection weight. I am still not too concerned because I have been running 3 miles and lifting weights every other day. If I am not below 172 lbs by Saturday I will do an apple day followed by a Steak day if needed. I attribute some of the weight to the exercise that I have started and also to the fact that my system is still adjusting to the new menu that I have implemented. So far the nicest thing about Phase 3 is the fact that I can eat when I am hungry, and the limited types of food I can eat help me make wise food choices. TTFN

Day 2 Phase 3 174lbs

I am 4 lbs over my Last Injection Weight (LIW) but from my experience this will improve as my body adjusts to all having to process all this extra food. If I am not down to at least 172 lbs by Friday I will do a Steak Day. I have also found that and Apple Day will work as well as a Steak Day and is actually easier to do because You can eat an apple when ever you get hungry and it  will flush all the extra water from you system.

On To Phase 3

We I am on to Phase 3 of the HCG Diet!!! I took my last shot on Friday of last week. I had always planned on ending this Phase of the diet once my weight and body told me too. My goal weight was 160 lbs and on Friday I was 169.9 but the weight had slowed to the rate that it did not make sense for me to stay on the diet just to try to make my goal weight. I am ready to start the next phase of my life As A Skinny Person!!!!. I will start a 90 day weight lifting program tomorrow and also the 21 days of no sugar and starches high protein diet. My wife is very happy with my decision to move on to phase 3. I will post a picture of my body tonight when I get home.

Review Review Review

The one thing I found out once I started the HCG Diet was that all though I spent several weeks consuming information on the diet as I waited for My HCG to arrive. Once I was actually doing the protocol I had a lot more questions on what to eat or how to eat etc... I found my self going back to the Manuscript and re-reading it to find specific answers. That is one reason that I took the Dr. Simeons manuscript and laid it out in a Table of Contents (TOC) format so that you can see all of the different topics discussed. You  can find it at my site http://nfoss.com/HCGStartPage.htm . You can also add a favorite to a specific topic. Here is a link to the 500 calorie diet: http://nfoss.com/PI_TOC.htm#The_Diet . You can also find a lot of good information in the Yahoo Groups listed here http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/HCGDIET/
