Day 19 of VLCD Done!

Starting weight: 182
Yesterday: 168.2
Today: 168.2
0 lb. Released Overnight
13.8 lb. Released Since Start of VLCD 1/14/2008
0.73 Avg Daily release

I'm switching to my new scale today. That number looks great and it saved me from agonizing over a new century. There it is! I'm in the 160's! What a nice birthday present & if we win the superbowl, that'll just add some more punch to this weekend!

Here's what I ate yesterday
B: Yerba Mate tea with stevia
L: Boiled cabbage & shrimp with essence & strawberries
D: Steak, carmelized onions, baked apple, stevia lemonade

I'm going to take it easy today. I'm turning 35 and I'm feeling pretty good that I'm going into it lighter than I was last year & I'm so grateful for finding this protocol now. I don't have children yet and I've always been afraid of how I would take off the baby weight. The women in my family have never been able to do that, but now I know how.

I did get a chance to do a chart of my progress so far. You can click on it to see a larger view:


This weekend... so far so good. I'm going to look for a special protocol recipe to try today.

In response to yesterday's comments.

Biz - aawww... thanks :) I did a whole lot of my research by reading your blog, so thanks for being so open with your own research and information. I needed to be super informed if I was going to start injecting myself with something I got off the internet. I could never have been a pioneer at going it alone. I was way too scared in the beginning. Now, doing these shots everyday is like a walk in the park.

Ed & Jennifer - I am certainly going to enjoy myself. I'm going to find as many non-food related fun things to do as I can think of and plus... My BOYS are in the superbowl! It's going to be a great weekend! Oh yeah... almost forgot. White grapefruit is 9 cal per oz & Pink grapefruit is 12 calories per oz.

Mary - Yeah... I'm kinda glad I don't have to excercise, but I love the muscle definition the firm gives me, plus DH says he likes to watch me do squats in the morning ;-) Gotta get back to that.

OMG, I forgot to tell you how funny that comment was to Mary about how your husband likes to watch you do the squats...they are such pervs aren't they?!

Oh, jenn, give me a good old perv -- or man who likes to watch me do squats -- any day of the week!!!! Monica, the more I learn about your husband, the more more I just gotta ask: can we clone one of him for me?

And isn't this protocol the BEST birthday present you have ever gotton? Look at your shrinking (and admired by your hubby) body! You're right about the kids thing -- your body DOES change after you have one (or two). I had my one and only one at 38 and, while she is the joy of my life, my body definitely started holding on to weight afterwards, big time. I'm thrilled to finally be below y pregnancy weight!

Have a GREAT Superbowl day!!
