April 9th, 2010 Day 28 of VLCD includes measurements

• You don't just want to hear about our weight loss today, you'd rather hear more about our inches lost so here goes...
• Terrie has lost 17#'s (now that includes 1 monthly cycle in which I read in a few women's blogs had gained 2#'s during, I didn't gain nor lose so I feel fortunate and ready to start losing again, infact lost 1 more # this morning); I lost 3/4" off my neck, 1" off upper arm, & 2 1/2 off waistline, 1 3/4" off hips, and 1 1/4" off my thighs! Yahoo!
  

• My son has lost 24#'s on VLCD in 28 days, 3 1/2" off chest, 2 3/4" off abs, 2" off thigh and 2" off waist.

• My daughter has lost 8#'s in 14 days , 2 1/2" off waist, 2" off abs, 3" off hips.

Dr. Simeon was so right HCG puts the fat where it needs to be...along your organs and along your bones. And HCG takes off the bad fat where it should NOT be. I have no more problems with the plantar fasciitis that I had severe for 1 1/2 years. Also, I have never dieted where I lose weight so evenly around the whole body.

April 1st, 2010 Day 20 of VLCD

• weight 138

• April fools...I'll be there soon but today my weight: 159 :) that's 14#'s in 19 days of VLCD

That means I have 21-26 more pounds to lose. So far I have lost 19, that is since the start of the year = I'm at the middle
Wearing size 34 or 14 regular non-stretch or 12 stretch jeans! Yes! Hello pile of pants that I just knew I would be back.
I'm not if I told the story of my closet breaking down last October? I had to add another pant size and the bar just couldn't hold any more weight and it clasped. What a nightmare! I had to pull everything out and sort. I made a nice size stack of pants neatly folded below all the hanging ones.

• My son has lost 19 #'s in 19 days! I might add...he is looking really good. I believe I stated that he had already lost 32 #'s on the liver cleanse so he has lost a total of 51 #'s and has 49 more.

• Snack: grapefruit
• Lunch: Chicken Onion Soup
• Snack: Fuji Apple
• Dinner Balsmic Fish, something new to try
  

It feels really good when your clothes were too tight to wear and now you put them on and there is extra room!
