OK so here is a breakdown of the rise and fall of my weight so far:
March 21, 2010 - posted about having to buy size 14 pants and being appalled. I didn't post my weight but I think I recall 188.
April 14, 2011 - over a year later I posted 206.6 and size 16 pants and was shocked to see my post from the previous year!! I didn't remember posting that so apparently my complacency was almost complete (just aware enough to post something about being fat, but not do anything about it). This day I started the HCG diet.
May 1st, 2011 - quit the diet... had gone 6 days with no weight lost. However, new weight was 196! At this point I decided to take a break and start again when my sister and Patsy started May 15th. This was grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and would be a good time for the two loading days. And I figured the support of them doing it at the same time would be good. Starting weight this time was 197, so I only gained a pound during the two weeks I was off (and I wasn't really watching what I was eating!)
May 15th - started the two loading days and then day 3 was in transit back to Alaska so very hard to be on planes, in airports, etc and eat the right stuff but somehow I made it through.
May 25th - stalled out for a few days - couldn't resist the cake batter from the princess cupcakes I made Mandy.
May 31st - today! I'm at 188.1... so that means that from the start of the first round that I quit part-way through, I'm down 19 pounds! 19 pounds in 1.5 months! And I'm 16 days through a 40-day cycle of the drops, so I think I can lost at least 10 more pounds. If I did it perfectly I could lose 15-20 more pounds, but I can imagine it won't go quite that way. So I plan to be at 178 by June 20th. Yessssss... then after that it's 4 weeks off and then start again! So by mid-August I should be in the 160's, which is where I feel comfortable (although another 15 pounds down from that would be awesome and I could wear a bikini if I were 150 - but that's another set of goals after I get down to 165).
