VLCD #36 Another Milestone!

Glory be to God! Great Mornin' to ya!

Yesterday I attended Jumuah (prayer service), and it was one of my first public appearances since losing over 20 lbs.  I ran into a girlfriend who immediately noticed my face was smaller.  She was like, "Wow, girl, you look good, look at your face!" LOL.  Together, we went to visit another friend, and later she told me she was surprised to see my face looking so healthy and vibrant.  She had known others to lose weight fast, and their face actually looked a bit gaunt and aged, sometimes with darkness under the eyes.  Masha'Allah, I was like that's the Hcg, honey!  And my other girlfriend's reaction? As soon as I hit the door, even with my coat on, she was like, "OH....MY.....GOSH!!"  She kept on looking at me in disbelief.  A beautiful day, I tell ya.

Now onto my results for yesterday:

I lost another lb, bringing me to an even 165 lbs! That is my official Driver's license weight!! Now, I only have today and tomorrow left for my hcg VLCD days, followed by 2-3 more VLCD days without hcg as the hormone is leaving my system.  Then its time for some good eatin', and I can't wait! TOM is on its way (was fighting some serious cravings so getting out of the house helped distract me), so I'll be glad to add some more foods in, and have some stevia hot chocolate with half n half cream! Ooooh, and that natural sugar free ice cream I told you all about (Clemmy's from Harris Teeter).  I made that hot chocolate for my sister yesterday (who is on P3), and I did take a lil' taste--it was a creamy pleasure!

Now, today may wind up being my last day with hcg, because it seems I'm a bit short (if you go slightly above that .5 cc mark, it adds up over the days, so next time I may add an extra cc of B12 to account for human error in dosing).  My sister had a tiny bit left over, so I'll see if its enough for me to do my last hcg day tomorrow.  I wanted to try and lose another lb or two, to give me that 2 lb wiggle room to go up to 165 lbs instead of 167 lbs (if 165 winds up being my last dosage weight).  Another part of me is like, "you know what?? Yes, I'm done!!" LOL.  I'll keep you posted.

Once again, I cannot WAIT to show you guys my after pic...just another day or so, God Willing  :-)
