New day, New diet!

I am totally new to this whole blogging thing, but I thought it might help me to keep track of different things while I'm on my new HCG diet. Supposedly you can lose over 30 pounds in just a short 40 days of 500 calories a day while taking HCG drops. I'm totally not convinced however, I'm 270lbs, and 5'2". Really??!! How did this happen?!! I've always been a fatty but I'm not sure how I got to this phase. Laziness? Sure. Lack of control? Sure. But every time I've tried a diet, I lose about 20+ lbs and do pretty well. But then I start to lose interest because I don't lose or gain weight for weeks at a time. Seeing no results is worse than gaining weight!!

So now I'm on a new journey. I want to do this for me and no one else. I recently went to the doctor after I started jogging on a treadmill. I may have a torn meniscus because I'm overloading my joints. I don't want to be 24 with a knee operation. I want to be able to run the 1/2 marathon in Las Vegas in December. But I have to take the running easy for a while and really find out if I tore my meniscus or not. We'll see after a few weeks of rest and good ol IB Profuen!

Wish me luck! I need all the encouragement I can get! I start my 500 calorie days on Saturday, so I'll let you know when I'm starving!! Today and tomorrow I eat whatever I can. I'm not sure I can do that. Everything inside me says, "stop! don't put that in your mouth!!" But I can do this. I can do anything for just 40 days.

Thanks for reading.

  1. Way to go girl! I am on a plateau of a recent weight loss (20 lbs since Feb 1) and if I can do that, you can do anything. You also have a very good excuse: pregnancy. :) Read my blog kathrinepage.blogspot.com that was my way of being accountable to blog readers during my diet and 'wellness quest.'
