My postings will become less often and probably shorter as I will be starting my Masters online next week, I've heard the Masters study is pretty intense therefor I will have to reframe from blogging every day. <br /><br />However if I have any obstacles I will certainly seek the support from my Hcg family. I do have a question which most likely will post on HTA also. I am currently doing the Hcg protocol with a Nautropathic Doctor. Dr. Mitchell of Chandler,AZ www.SanTanNaturalMedicine.com (just in case someone reading this is looking for a Dr. in Chandler, Az.) <br /><br />I paid 275.00 for the Hcg,Initial consultation, bloodwork & B12 injection (which I haven't gotten, only because I don't want to drive to Chandler,Az from Glendale every week)so I take B12 sublingual. I am wondering if it would be less expensive to order the Hcg myself when I am ready to do round two, if so where do I find the best quality Hcg?<br /><br />Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, I feel that I have found enough support via blogging and HTA that I can achieve the next round with out going to Chandler to get the Hcg from the Dr.<br /><br />Thanks All Much LoveAngel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-69391369012218383302009-03-25T20:06:00.000-07:002009-03-25T20:16:03.350-07:00Moving Along<strong>P1R2 Day 16</strong><br /><br />P1R2 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight 192<br />Todays Weight 191<br /><br /><br />Finally the scale has moved, I know Monica, and Amie both have encouraged me to remember if I am not lossing lbs. I am still lossing inches, I have t agree lossing in any way is a plus. Having a moody day I am sure TOM is trying to make a visit but having PCOS sometimes these are just symptoms and not a true visit which is fine with me.<br /><br />It was nice to eat today, although I wasn't hungry at all on my apple day. I am starting classes soon therefore my blogging will be very limited, however I will post just to keep myself going as well as for encourage. I will continue to read your post to stay on top of how every one else is progressing on their journey. <br /><br />Until next time.Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-75686379841838430612009-03-24T07:39:00.000-07:002009-03-24T07:56:47.624-07:00It's a Apple Kind of Day<strong>P1R2 Day 15</strong><br /><br />P1R2 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight 192<br />Todays Weight 192<br /><br /><br /><br />I had hoped to have lost more then this by now. I still 28 days to go so there's much more time for a significant loss. I am doing 43 days of Hcg.<br /><br />Ok yesterday was a bust,after really sabotaging the protocol. I did not eat anything else for the rest of the day. Interesting enough I wasn't hungry at all usually I would have still been hungry. I took mag last night, it has been working every since so much to the point I am at home this morning instead of sitting at my desk at work.<br /><br />I talked to my Dr's office yesterday, telling his assistant that I have been 192lbs for the past now 5 days. She asked what had I changed or added, I had been eating a lot more lettuce but had not in the past 4-5 days also I added broccoli and green beans. She suggested that go back to eating more lettuce as my snacks or when I just had the desire to chew on something instead of a (cookie)Hmmmmm.<br /><br />She also told me to do a apple day, I have read about the dreaded apple day and asked her "ok whats the apple day". I was told to eat 6 apples throughout the day with minimal water intake.<br /><br />So today is my apple day, also I think I am going to go back to my cucumbers and celery as my veggies until I am ready to go into P3 I was satisfied with these two choices so I am going to stick to them. I am also going to go back to having my fruit with my meals/protein as Dawn also suggested I was lossing 1 lb a day so I am going to stick to that also and see if I start lossing again.<br /><br />Until tomorrow its a apple kind of day...hope I stop pooping soon gotta run..hehe literally...Sorry I know TMI..LOLAngel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-84172030764252440982009-03-23T21:59:00.000-07:002009-03-23T22:11:45.166-07:00Whoops I Fell OFF the Wagon<strong>P2R1 Day 15</strong><br /><br />P2R1 Starting Weight 200<br />Loading Gain +2<br />Yesterdays Weight 192<br />Todays Weight 192<br /><br /><br />Ok today I cheated on myself, I violated me how could I have done such a thing. Our team is a mode of celebrating birthdays, me with my don't want to hurt anyone's feelings attitude went to lunch with my co-workers (mind you I packed my protocol lunch today).<br /><br />Ok went to lunch had a ripped bbq chicken sandwich,shoestring fries with a raspberry ice tea ( didn't eat the bread) and had a small piece of cake.<br /><br />I was so disgusted with myself, for swaying...as I ate this lunch I could feel my stomach churning probably wondering what the heck I was doing, I even felt a little nauseous for a moment could this have been because I was angry with myself or because my stomach and gotten used to 500 calories, no sugar and starched or maybe both.<br /><br />I took magnesium citrate when I got home, and for the first time had a much needed good BM.<br /><br />Tomorrow its back on track and NO ABSOLUTELY NO MORE SWAYING...I told my co-workers this..."I don't care who's birthday is coming up I am not participating".Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-51050424917302279482009-03-22T19:57:00.000-07:002009-03-22T20:18:47.265-07:00Frustrated<strong>P1R2 Day 14</strong><br /><br />P1R2 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight 192<br />Todays Weight 192<br /><br /><br />I am frustrated because the scale has not moved much I have been at 192 for the past three days...ok truth be told friday weight was 192.8, Saturdays weight was 192.4 and todays weight was 192.2 so there is loss but I want the numbers before the decimal to lower. I know, I know every little bit counts. <br /><br />Needless to say I was not happy that I did not reach 190 this weekend, so I ate that chocolate cookie, the thrill wasn't what I remember when I would eat chocolate chip cookies..I really enjoyed one morsal of a chocolate chip...go figure.<br /><br />Today I realize will eat sweets when I am frustrated, when I think back that's when I would binge on Hostess cream cupcake, and Boston Baked Beans Candy or Fudge covered Pretzels and soda, soda, soda.<br /><br />Ok, I am over the chocolate chip cookie now...Yippppeeee!!!!<br /><br />As Amie would put it.....TMI Alert>>>>><br /><br />I really am starting to believe BM's have a great deal to do with daily weight loss, and of course roughage. When I first started VCLD I was voiding (BM) every day, now that has slowed down. I took some magnesium citrate recommended by my Dr. so we will see what happens.<br /><br />I have noticed that I get full a lot quicker, last night I could barely finish my dinner, I had to force myself to eat lunch I was ready for dinner and usually save my fruit for a snack..which I am having now the first bite I feel full. I hope this is supposed to happen?<br /><br />Today's Menu<br /><br /><br />Breakfast: Tea w/lemon & stevia<br />1/2 grapefruit<br /><br />Lunch: grilled chicken breast 4oz<br />1 cup broccolli<br />1 melba toast<br /><br />Dinner: grilled chicken breast 4 oz<br />1 cup sliced cucumber<br />1 breadstick<br /><br />Snack: apple small<br /><br />Lots of waterAngel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-44032956605017244832009-03-20T19:34:00.000-07:002009-03-20T20:00:04.488-07:00Staying Strong<strong>P2R1 Day 12</strong><br /><br />P2R1 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight: 193<br />Todays Weight: 192<br /><br /><br />I am happy to have seen that the scale moved this morning toward a lesser me..lol It seems that having daily BM's is a factor for me, we will see tomorrow. I still haven't had that cookie not say that I don't want it, I am realizing that the desire to have the cookie is more psychological then it is a craving. <br /><br />When I think about the cookie is when I want it, if I don't think about the cookie it doesn't exist.<br /><br />Funny thing happened to me today, I took my daughter to McDonald's as I drove up to the drive thru menu my mind went KOOKOO I felt like a kid in a candy store as my eyes roamed over the menu fixating on the apple pie...Yummmy..NOT!!! as my daughter put two french fries into her mouth I could taste the oil...YUKKKKKIIEEe but they did look pretty good.<br /><br />I received my Hcg from a Dr. with the Hcg protocol, tonight I read over Dr. Simeons protocol I noticed a difference in my Dr.'s protocol however it was minimal. My Dr.'s sheet only allows for melba toast/breadstick at dinner where Dr.Simeons allows a breadstick/melba toast for lunch and dinner also Dr.Simeons allows oranges where as my Dr. says no oranges. Those were the only differences that I saw.<br /><br /><br />What I took in today<br /><br />Lots of water and tea<br /><br />Breakfast: Tea w/stevia<br />Lunch: 4oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup celery, apple<br />Dinner: 4oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup green beens<br /><br />Let's keep it going....Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-10519869852235430592009-03-19T19:44:00.000-07:002009-03-19T20:05:35.743-07:00Didn't Give In But It's Surely Hard to Resist<strong>P1R2 Day 11</strong><br /><br />P1R2 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight 193<br />Todays Weight 193<br /><br /><br /><br />No loss today, Bummmmer maybe it was the extra melba toast? Drank lots of water and tea yesterday, my intake was 128oz. I probably could boost the water intake.<br /><br />Ok, I did not give into the chocolate chip cookie craving, though it is still very much alive. Funny thing I went home for lunch, took out a cookie and placed it into a zip lock sandwich bag and took it back to work then sat it on my desk in front of me.<br /><br />My reason for doing this was to tempt myself and to build my strength to resist the temptation, though as I type this blog I really want to eat that cookie. Darn you girlies....LOL<br /><br />Part of me refuses to give into the temptation of my sugar fixation, I want to give BIG THANKS to Amie, Monica and Mo for encouraging me not to eat that cookie my plan was to eat the cookie tonight. Darn you girlies....LOL<br />After reading their response to yesterday post I will not eat that cookie at least not tonight...hehehe just joking...<br /><br />I will try the strawberry sorbet they suggested.<br /><br />Today I ate<br /><br />Breakfast: 1 bowl of lettuce w/red wine vinegar & tea w/stevia<br />Snack: bowl of lettuce (1 cup)<br />Lunch: grilled lemon pepper chicken breast, 1 cup of cucumber w/red wine vinegar slice of nectarine<br />Snack: 1 nectarine - the slice<br />Dinner: grilled chicken breast, 1 cup celery, melba toast<br />Snack: apple<br /><br />Mega Tea and H2o<br /><br />Hopefully we will have a # gone in the am.Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-71491252072486006922009-03-18T18:49:00.000-07:002009-03-18T19:02:00.799-07:00The SweetTooth Monster is After Me<strong>P2R1 Day 10</strong><br /><br />P2R1 Starting Weight 200<br />Yesterdays Weight 194<br />Todays Weight 193<br /><br /><br /><br />OMG, do I want a chocolate cookie, a cupcake, a box of boston baked bean candy, some of the lemon cake my daughter has in the frig. <br /><br />Help me somebody please, today has been a rough day all day I have been wanting something sweet even a bag of chips. You maybe TOM is trying to rare his ugly head, I don't know but there is one thing for sure I want more then 500 calories today.<br /><br />I knew this would be a hard journey but I thought it would get easier by now, equally I know its only been a short 10 days this 10th day has been extra hard.<br /><br />I did have two extra melba toast, try to wart off the urge to have a chocolate cookie.

Then I remembered I had not had a movement the day before.<br /><br />I was happy to see that I am now at 194 lbs.

My Dr.'s office told me I could eat as much lettuce as I like so that is my filler food.

It's funny how whenever I say something to anyone about this diet, I get a lot of negative comments. But you know what I am not doing this for them, this is for me and when they see reduced me and the change in eating habit...We will see what they have to say then..HA<br /><br />Today I shopped for more spices, fish (white fish that is), chicken and seafood to be a little more creative I plan to purchase the HCG cook book.

Three pounds down off to a good start I pray I can keep it going.<br /><br />I stopped on the way to work this morning to purchase Stevia, lettuce and vinegar to top my salad. While in the sugar isle, all I found was sweet-n-low,splenda etc. I asked some clerks if they sold Stevia they seemed not to know what I was talking about, they even looked in the baking section but could not find the stevia. <br /><br />Thank God I decided to take a second look for myself in the baking area...Yippeee I found it, the product name was sweetleaf /ingredients...(stevia) Of course I showed the clerks just in case another HCG'er comes by looking for stevia.<br /><br />Being as hunger as I was yesterday, I decided to get some lettuce since I can eat as much as I like per my Dr....I purchased romaine hearts and balsamic vinegar...I read the label to make sure it had no oils or sugar added...Home free...so off to work I go...<br /><br /><br /><strong>Breakfast</strong><br /><br />2 cups of tea w/stevia (1 packet each) juice of lemon<br />bowl of romaine heart lettuce seasoned with lite salt and balsamic vinegar<br />1 pint of water<br /><br /><strong>Snack</strong><br />bowl of romaine heart lettuce w/lite salt balsamic vinegar<br /><br /><strong>Lunch</strong><br /><br />3.5 oz grilled chicken breast w/mrs dash spicey seasoning<br />1 cup celery<br />1 medium nectarine<br />1 pint of water<br /><br />I got the munchies so I had another bowl of romaine heart lettuce<br />32oz of water drank throughout the day<br /><br /><br /><strong>Dinner</strong><br /><br />3.5 oz grilled chicken breast<br />1 cup savoy cabbage w/salt & pepper<br />1 cup tea w/stevia slice of lemon<br />1 garlic sesame seed breadstick<br /><br />32oz of water<br /><br /><strong>Snack</strong><br />1 cup slice strawberries sprinkle with stevia<br /><br /><br />Today I wasn't has hunger, yesterday I was running into the house to eat today I took my time preparing my dinner and eating it..LOLAngel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-42695260944904254132009-03-12T20:07:00.000-07:002009-03-13T07:46:26.960-07:00First Day of VCLD<strong>P2R1 Day 4</strong><br /><br />P2R1 Starting Weight:200<br />Yesterdays Weight: 201<br />Today: 202 up +1<br /><br /><br />It's apparent that loading has added a few pounds.

I ate lunch around 11:30am I usually eat lunch between 1pm and 1:30pm talk about hunger cramps....WooooWeeee<br /><br />I had a slight headache and light headedness as informed by my Dr.'s assistant this may happen, I was kind of expecting this part but hoping it would not affect me. Unfortunately it did, by the time I got home from work I was happy to see my kitchen and ready to put my chicken breast on the grill, my cabbage in the microwave. All while eating 1/2 of my apple.<br /><br />I put in a call to my Gold Canyon Candle Rep., who has done the HCG diet now in maintenance for support.<br /><br />She assured me that the hunger pains would cease in about 4-5 days and to drink lots of water and tea,actually by the time she had called me I had eaten dinner and was feeling GREAT...no hunger pains/cramps since dinner.<br /><br />Well off to bed I go but not until I have the other 1/2 of my apple for a bedtime snack<br /><br />Until tomorrow....Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-71895267059187036702009-03-12T19:40:00.000-07:002009-03-12T19:59:12.215-07:00Final Day of LoadingP2R1 Day3<br /><br />P2R1 Starting Weight: 200<br />Yesterdays Weight: 202<br />Today: 201<br /><br />It's been hard to load today, I tried my best to load on those things that I love most.

I am really glad that I called my doctors office yesterday as I started to gorge/loading I misread the protocol thinking I was supposed to gorge for three days and then start hcg injections. Here I was calling Dr. Mitchell, to find out if I could chew gun when Denise asked how the injections where going, I informed her I was starting the gorging but had not injected the hcg once we both realized that I had not injected the hcg Denise quickly informed that I needed to take the hcg the day I began gorging. <br /><br />I quickly went into the frig got the vial, drew 20ml into the syringe and gave myself my first injection. I was not prepared for the sensations I began to experience, I felt a little burning, some cramping or maybe a spasm just strange feeling in my abdomen when I had given myself the injection.<br /><br />Now onto gorging, this is hard for me to just eat,eat, eat. My weakness is soda, caked, cookies, fried foods anything with sugar. So thats what I loaded on my daughter prepared a birthday breakfast I swear the girl cooked me three scrambled eggs I could barely finish, two buttermilk biscuts and four strips of bacon with a 8oz glass of grapefruit juice. <br /><br />For my birthday dinner she cooked for me four shrimp kabobs, crab legs, butter and garlic sauce a baked potatoe loading with butter, a salad drenched in Italian dressing and soda. (is this kid helping me load or what)<br /><br />I had red velvet cake and more soda, being my birthday I went out for a drink with my significant other (who by the way is very interested in the diet, I may just convert him) while out I thought I might as well get in my last days of alcoholic beverages and had two Tom Collins.<br /><br />Today my second injection was giving at 6:30am which will be my normal injection time from this day on. I did not experience the same sensations as I did with the first injection.<br /><br />For breakfast I had chicken wings (something I would have never ever done before) but I was a little hungry and running late so I grabbed some chicken wings that I had cooked the night before along with a soda. I was off for my birthday and my co-workers had planned a lucheon for me at work, my boss came in with a chocolate cake (per my request) which the staff eat at our morning meeting so I kind of binged on two pieces of chocolate cake and a soda. For lunch we had chinese, usually I would have saved half of my sweet &sour chicken for dinner but I made myself eat the whole bowl during lunch.<br /><br />A few friends still wanting to celebrate my birthday invited me out for a drink after work, another Tom Collins with Chicken Chimichanga. I am sure alcoholic beverages may not be part of the loading stage but I need to get this in and out of my system before starting the VLCD.<br /><br />Well we never ate the birthday cake and ice cream my daughter brought me, so I had some cake and ice cream for a late night snack.<br /><br />This part is hard, I have to make myself eat because there are days that I usually would not eat anything but lunch this is really going to hard for me to eat at all.<br /><br />Am supposed to be drinking my water now, if so I haven't had much water in the last two days. I think I better drink water starting tomorrow.<br /><br />As you can see I am going to need the support of my fellow Hcg'ers.<br /><br />Todays weigh in was at 9:32pm (gained 2#'s Wow)<br />I thought it would nice to post before pics taken 3/9/09 Notice I usually were my shirt out, I hoping to loose that midsection.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXygzEhTUZfZr9xvajzeRPt9zElVGD6KJ9_QPdXoSY2ccLkmYTTn0d_9E8AheYEeoRVxDqNXuvs2WEZSSJagx_Lmbz70_ttthVlVBlQoEL3WGcxYN8dn357nMm8Q1lU8Sey3ZaEDQovNo/s1600-h/100_1172.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXygzEhTUZfZr9xvajzeRPt9zElVGD6KJ9_QPdXoSY2ccLkmYTTn0d_9E8AheYEeoRVxDqNXuvs2WEZSSJagx_Lmbz70_ttthVlVBlQoEL3WGcxYN8dn357nMm8Q1lU8Sey3ZaEDQovNo/s320/100_1172.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311785446514044674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfp0WpB2k9rtaJm2sBCsJSXnD2M3hpcql1IMdBqviscGMs4BURopGg77ScbxiiOVxjOchtQLCd4LhlL-GBHN_SYX6bpDhVQfKDQjk4oPq9KxYJt-pKvNWLGE2p7UdY-8xuQa1ar30v2PB8/s1600-h/100_1171.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfp0WpB2k9rtaJm2sBCsJSXnD2M3hpcql1IMdBqviscGMs4BURopGg77ScbxiiOVxjOchtQLCd4LhlL-GBHN_SYX6bpDhVQfKDQjk4oPq9KxYJt-pKvNWLGE2p7UdY-8xuQa1ar30v2PB8/s320/100_1171.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311784646495311554" /></a>Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687247833554108632.post-3303578235998173832009-03-09T01:30:00.000-07:002009-03-09T04:38:50.975-07:00Second Metamorphosis A Euphoric TransformationAbout Me...<br /><br />Today I turn 45 years young, a first time grand-mother of a beautiful baby girl. I live in Arizona by way of Ohio. This is my second transformation in less then a year I have another blog that shows the journey of my transformation from relaxed to natural hair using a system called Sister Locks.<br /><br />I am new to Hcg/VLCD as I read the blogs of others who are on their personal journeys, I am a little lost as I am not sure what P2/R3 and LIW mean if any one can tell me what the lingo is for posting on my progress during the different stages of this metamorphosis it would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />I am at the gorging stage (would that be P1?)today would be my second day, although I really haven't overeaten. I tend to be a sugar hog, candy,soda/pop, koolaid adding sugar in food etc. Actually I sit here with a 10oz container of white fudge covered pretzels and a glass of Hawiian Punch.<br /><br />I will be using the Hcg injectible<br />10MI 10,000 units/10ML MDV<br />0.2ml= 20 units daily<br /><br />My consultation weight was 200#'s<br /><br />I have purchased a digital food scale and a weight scale also digital with tracking and BMI/Bone Mass calculation it also measure the amount of water in the body I purchased both from Walmart.<br /><br />I have also purchased some of my food to start and B12 sublingual tablets, equally I will get bi-weekly B12 injection from my Naturopathic Doctor who will be following me while I am on my journey of metamorphosis.<br /><br />I will try my best to post daily, as a means to help me journal my progress and to follow others who are also on this journey also for tips and guidance.<br /><br />I plan to weigh in on Wednesday when I start the VLCD to use this as my starting weight.<br /><br />I am so excited to make this a life change, not only to lose weight but to hopefully get off of medication and to live a healthier life for my daughters and my grand daughter.Angel Locshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14509270312095771185noreply@blogger.com4
