186.9 and on to phase 3

So a number of things happened...

*I went 10 days without losing weight (last a pound one day and thought I had broken the freeze but then gained it back the next day)

*I got my period 10 days before I was supposed to (that never happens! I'm on birth control!)

*I got sick

*I got hungry

So I wondered at that point if I shouldn't just stop using the drops and move on to the next phase. I could have been 10 days into my 4 weeks off! 12 actually... cause it took 2 more days to decide to stop taking them. Now I'm 8 days into phase 3, which means I have 20 days before I can load for the next round. My sister suggested using the injections instead which she feels are more effective. It would be VERY nice not to have to set my alarm for 7 times per day (once to wake up, then 6 doses of drops) so I'm thinking about that.

The GOOD news is that I have a newfound love of fruits & vegetables that really wasn't there before. Not that I didn't like those things, but now I'm SO excited about eating them! It's really great and I feel much healthier! Also last time I went off the drops I didn't gain weight back so I'm hoping for the same result. I'm eating great so it shouldn't be a problem. Thinking about joining weight watcher's now, but then will need to avoid them for a while.

Oh and we're thinking of Africa in January and my weight goal by then is 150!! I think I can do it. I'll have time for 2 more rounds of hcg - actually I have time for more than that, but 2 more might be all I need, plus healthy eating in between for continued weight loss. I'm actually hoping to lose a pound or two now before the next round. I'm tracking my food for 1200 calories per day and usually I can lose weight on that somewhat effectively.

OK thanks for reading!
