166.6

Dang, I never thot I would get off of 167.8!!! I was that weight since Thursday (or Wednesday...I can't remember)!!! I'm just glad I saw the numbers go down! I just hope that I can lose just another 2lbs by Thursday!!! I just want to hit 164 so that I'm under 165! And that will be 30lbs that I would have lost! =) I was expecting more in the beginning, but I'm glad and I'm also glad that I can fit into some size 12's!!! That's coming a long way since I couldn't fit anything less then and 18 when I started! And I'm talking jeans!!! I tried on a size 8 dress and it fit perfectly! But it's the only dress I tried on! I'm headed to Pheonix in a couple days and I might do some shopping there before I head home for Thanksgiving! I hope people notice the difference, I know I sure can!

167.8

Yeah for apple day! dropped 2lbs!!! Let's hope I keep it off!!! I'm going to eat an orange right now to kick of metabolism and then really stick to the diet and drink my gallon of water throughout the day and stop eating by 6pm! And go to bed early!!!! I hope I really do lose another pound by tomorrow...then I think I really will hit my goal of 165 by Sunday!!! Yeaaaaaaah!!!!

169.4

So yesterday I was 169.8. I just feel like I'm not dropping anymore and I have no idea why! Maybe I need to finish eating earlier. Maybe I need to drink more water, I don't know! But I really wanted to be 165 by Sunday and the only way I'm going to make that is if I really do lose a pound a day! And it just doesn't seem like that is happening! I only have 9 more days to go and I'm getting scared that I'm not going to get under 165! And I want to soooooo bad! Maybe I need to start going on walks too, I don't know. But I'm going to do everything I can in these last 9 days! I have to!!! Today I'm doing an apple day and that usually helps me out a lot, but lately I've been noticing that I gain the day after an apple day! Well, time to hit the plan again hard core for these last few days! They are going to go by before I know it and I don't want to regret not working hard for the last few days!

170.8

I'm so aggravated! I do the apple day and lose 2lbs, but then the day after I gain another pound! I don't get it!!! I guess I'm just going to have to stop doing apple days or something. I just have 11 days left and I'm really starting to think that I'm for sure not going to hit 159, unless I do an apple day for the last 3 days! haha, and I think I would just die with that little food for 3 days! Oh well, I think I look and I feel pretty good that I'm even 170! Even if I can get between the 159-164 for now I'll be good. I think I've had some good success with this so far and I'm anxious to see how the maintenance will work out with it. If all goes well, I'll do another session next year!

169.6

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MADE MY GOAL!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!
I just hope that I don't gain weight since I did the apple day yesterday. I'm gonna eat all my food without salt! haha! Nah. But for real. If I hit 168 tomorrow I'll be really happy cuz that means I might really hit 159 by the time I'm done with this! I only have 12 more days (including today) so I really have to make every day count! No cheating what so ever!

171.4

Well, I didn't hit 170 today, but since we're going to Idaho and will be in the car all day I decided I better do an apple day for peeing reasons! So hopefully that will give me an extra boost of weight loss and and get me to my goal of 169 by tomorrow!!! Or maybe that's just hopeful wishing. Oh well, I'll take either.

172.2

Why do I keep cheating?!?! I ate a pinch of chocolate chip cookie dough! MMmm, it was so good, but I really shouldn't have! It was just there on the kitchen table, staring me in the face! So rude of someone to leave it out like that! haha! Okay, well....I didn't drink enough water yesterday either =( I ALMOST drank the minimum requirement of 1/2 gallon! Dang, but I am for sure back on it today!

172.8

Yeah, I finally got off of my plateau! I was hoping for this number back on Tuesday! That puts me 2 days behind! grrrr...oh well. I'm just glad I'm still going down, instead of going up or staying the same. We'll see what happens on the weekend! I walked into the kitchen this morning and Julie was like, "wow...skinny! I hate you!" haha, I told her I loved to be hated!!! haha! I felt really good. She told some people that I'm doing the HCG diet, including one of my good friends who I know is going to want to have words with me because of it, and that scares me! I'll probably see her tonight at choir! I just don't want to have to justify anything to anyone! Just let me be and let me lose weight the way I know how. I know they are just concerned for me, but it's not like I don't know people who have done it and are just fine...and skinnier! haha! Arite, I'm out!

175.0

So this entry is from yesterday. I was still stuck at 175! Agh!

175.0

Well, I don't know what happened, but I gained a pound! I didn't do anything wrong, I don't think. Maybe I ate too much sweetner...? Who knows? So that was sad, since I thought I would be 173 today. Oh well...I'm just going to fight it out. =(

174.0

So even though I said I was so done cheating, I did it again on Saturday night. I blame Halloween for that one! haha! I made some guacamole at Trisha's and had some pizza and bean dip and a few too many 3 musketeers! haha...but it was so yummy! I only gained 0.6lbs, so I was happy about that. I really thought that I was going to gain like 3lbs! haha, so I went up to 178.8. But after my Sunday fast I'm down to 174!!! I can't wait to see 169! I won't even know what to do with myself! And I went to DI and bought some jeans for me since all of my other ones are just waaaaay too big!!! I got a pair that is size 14, and they fit just right when I got them and they are already feeling just a little lose! But I think it's because they are streatched out. But I was a size 18 before! So I'm really happy that I went down 2 sizes in just a month! So I really want to get into a size 10 by the time I'm done with this at the end of November. That's my new little goal! I hope I make it! I feel like I'm just as skinny as I was on my mission even though I'm still 14lbs more then I was. I wore a skirt I wore all the time and it fit perfectly! Just like back then! So I'm hoping I will go down and be smaller then I was when I got home, even though I'll weigh the same! Okay, just 18 more days and counting!

175.2

So...I don't think I'll see 173 by tomorrow, but I sure am glad to see 175 today! So next week I should be sure in the 160's and i can't tell you how happy that's going to make me!!! I just want to be noticeably smaller when i go back home for Thanksgiving! And then keep working on it from there. Well, I'm feeling good about this so I'll just check back in tomorrow or monday! toodle-ooo!

176.2

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Gosh, I was so happy to see 176 already!!! Now I think I might see 173 by Sunday!!! And if I do, then by the end of next week I can be around 166! Wowzers! And the following week I can be about 160 and then hopefully finish off around 155!!! Dang, that would be the best! And then just keep working out after that and try to break into the 140's! Okay, maybe I'm getting a head of myself! haha! Let me just focus on this week and hit that 173 on Sunday! Yeah, 176 already! This is how much I was back in 2005!

177.6

Man, was I happy to see that I still lost a pound from yesterday. I ate a little late, so I was afraid that was going to affect it! But since I did eat so late, I passed on my extra fruit. I was going to have my apple with cinnamon and sweetner, but I wasn't going to eat that until like 10, so I just passed on it. So I still hope I will see 174 by Sunday so that next week I can be in the 160's!!! Gosh, I don't think I've been less then 160 in my adult life! That's so sad! But I really want to make it happen. Weather it's during this hcg, or after. I will work my bum off to get as far down as I can! See you tomorrow!

178.6

Yeah, I broke it!!!! I'm so glad! I have to admit I really just wanted to see 179 today and it was such a pleasant surprise to see 178.6!!! Actually i weighed myself again and it did say 178.2, but I decided to take the higher number so I can feel like I lose more tomorrow. Hopefully I will still lose tomorrow!!! =) For the 1st time I actually felt really weak yesterday. I think I needed to eat a little more. I didn't eat an afternoon fruit and I didn't have very much chicken in my lunch salad. But I did drink my gallon of water! yeah, Oh wow...If I got down to 174 by Sunday, that would be such a treat! This Halloween is going to be hard. Cuz I have such a sweet tooth and just want to eat all that chocolate!!! But then again, seeing the numbers go down really helps. I can't wait till I hit what I was when I came back from the mission at 160! I hope I can get there by the time I'm done with this on Nov. 19th!!!

180.6

Okay, so I don't do too good with catching up on here on the weekends! I just try to avoid the computer as much as possible to be honest, since I have to stare at it all day during the week! So on Saturday I was down to I think 182.0 and then on Sunday I hit 180.8! That was nice to see. But this morning I was just down a bit. But at least I might see 179 tomorrow! Let's cross our fingers. I have to admit I ate some cookie dough yesterday. Barely any, honestly! But I did eat. Oh well, you live, you learn rite? K, wish me luck for tomorrow! I can wait! I want this weight to melt off!

183.4

Well, at least I'm going back down. I almost threw my hands up yesterday and say "forget it", but seeing that I dropped a pound from yesterday makes me feel better. If I can make it through the weekend, I should hopefully be back to around 180 by Monday. I just need to think of that and know that I will be in the 170's next week! Oh, that sounds sooooo good right now! And if I stay strong, I should be 175 by the end of next week! Okay, I'm pumped again. I'm going to do it and stay really strong to see that number! Gosh, it looks so good on here! haha! And then after 2 weeks...160's!!! I haven't seen that for over 5 years! Okay...this is Alisha...back on track!

184.4

Gosh, I'm so mad at myself!!! It was Niva's birthday yesterday and she wanted to go eat so bad and I felt like I would be so out of the loop if I didn't go and enjoy her birthday with her! So we went to sushi and ate that and got a bit of icecream after. Why do I do this? I just said I wouldn't cheat again during the whole process! I felt completely guilty and now I really won't be cheating. I just can't let this all go in vain! I really need to concentrate for the next 26 days or so or I'm going to regret it all so much! I just have to push for the goal!!!

184.0

I know!!! I'm such a slacker and I'm sooooo mad at myself! I totally cheated 3 times!!! On Friday night I went crazy and just started eating all sorts of stuff in the kitchen! Some frosted mini wheats, a hot pocket, a little of this and a bit of that! I was so mad at myself the next day and said never again, but then I made the mistake of thinking I could go out to eat and stick to my diet with getting a salad or something! I was so wrong! I went to Thaifoon and had some mango chicken! Noooooo! Then on Sunday I felt guilty so I hardly ate anything. Then yesterday me and the old roomies got together and I thought I could be good again, but I was wrong again and I ate! We even just went to Souper Salad! Well, it was super bad for me! haha! So I totally regret cheating and wish I just stayed strong. But the moral of the lesson is...Alisha can't eat out when she's on a diet or be anywhere near a restaurant! haha! Nah, for real...I can't! So I'm back on track today and I promised myself that would be my only slip up! Come on Alisha...just until December 11th!!! Then you're home free!!!

181.8

I'm kind of depressed that I didn't even lose a whole pound from yesterday, especially since it was an apple day for me! I ate only 4 apples and I ate them with cinnamon and sweetener...and now I wish I just ate them plain because I'm paranoid about the sweetener making me not lose as much weight. Well, today is my no injection day and that concerns me too. I hope I still lose!!! I really still want to see 179 this week!!! Or at least by Sunday. I also even did a little swim yesterday in hopes of it helping me. Well, we'll see tomorrow morning when I weigh in again.

182.6

Well, yesterday I was 182.6 and today I'm the same thing! Talk about sad...! I really was hoping to see 181 today, but maybe tomorrow will be the day. I just read that moderate exercise was "desirable" so I'm going to start going to the gym again. Nothing extreme...just a brisk walk or a short swim, some abs and light lifting. Just something to get me going. I'm doing an apple day today, so I'm not really looking forward to that! But I have discovered the goodness of putting cinnamon and sweetener on it and microwaving it for 2 minutes so it's nice and soft like apples in an apple pie! Mmmm, yum! So wish me luck today. I really hope I lose some of this water weight and get back down. I know I've been eating a lot of salt, so I might just have to cut back on that during the week. I wanna make my goal of 179 by Sunday!!! Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeze!

183.8

Good morning!!! Another good day! Not as good as I hoped for, but still...being down another 0.8 from yesterday is great! So all together now I've lost 11.2lbs!!! I know, I really never thought that would happen! And just knowing that I can possibly be in the 170's by the end of the week just seem so unbelievealbe! And I'll take it! I've been eating strawberries with some sweetner for my fruit and it's soooooo yummy! Now I just have to get creative with my veggies! Cuz what I'm eating right now is getting REALLY OLD! I only have 38 more days to go...and it seems like it's going to be forever...but now that I see the numbers going down, it's totally worth it! I just really hope I look different at the end of all of this! My pants totally don't fit anymore, but it might be partially because they need to be washed. You know how they get when you wear them a lot and stretch them out! So I'm going to wash them today and see how they fit after! I might have to go buy some pants cuz for real, I'm having to roll them up at the top and that aint too cute! haha. Well, I've drank a liter so far today...3 more to go! And I think I might take another little walk to the gym and do some light weights and abs. Well...until tomorrow!

184.4!!!

Yeah, so much better then I even anticipated!!! I was so happy to see the scale this morning at less then my hoped for weight which was 185!!! Yesterday I got on and it was 185.4 so I'm just glad it still went down!!! I'm not going to lie...the diet is really getting hard. Just eating the same thing over and over. So I started to get some different fruits and I got the allowed sweetner since I do have a sweet tooth!!! But just seeing the numbers on the scale go down, and having my clothes fit a lot better makes me more determined to be sure to stick to this!

It's funny cuz I keep having dreams that I cheat on the diet. Like I'll forget I'm even on it and I'll eat chips and salsa and then realize what I just did!!! I wake up so mad at myself because I really think I screwed up! It no fun!!! haha! But I'm always glad to realize that it was just a dream! Arite, well, that's all for today. Weekends are always a little harder then the week because there's so much extra time! But I've been drinking the gallon of water and I think that helps a lot too with my wanting to eat. So wish me luck for this next week. I have so far completed 8 days out of 46!!! Just 38 more to go! haha...seems like forever!

188.8

I'm so sad...that I went up! I know it's only .6lbs, but still...I really didn't want to experience that during this! But I do partially blame aunt Flow who just arrive a couple days ago and the fact that yesterday was my non-injection day! So I just hope all goes well from today to tomorrow. I cooked all last night and prepared my meals for the next week, thru Tuesday...that helps since I'm not the biggest fan of cooking a small meal for one every day! Well, that's about it. I little sad so I'm just going to drink my water and eat my yummy grapefruit for this morning! MMmmm.....

Wow, and now ever more depressed seeing the pics below!!! I look way fatter then I thot! Well, hence the reason I'm doing this!!! Gotta look up rite! Can I get a whuuuu whuuuuuuppp!

This is me now...

188.2

I was sooooo happy to see that an apple day got me down more then 2lbs!!! I mean, trust...it was harder then I thought! Not impossible, but just as hard as fasting for more then 24 hours! Agghhh...but you know what? It really made me appreciate the 500 cal days!!! haha! For the most part I can ration my 500 cal throughout the day and not be very hungry at all! Really! I guess it helps with drinking a gallon of water a day too. That really fills you up...and has you running to the bathroom about every 1/2 hour! Oh well, I guess that's so good lil exercise! haha. Well, I'm still going strong and by the time today is over, I will be done with my first week! From the highest weight in this week, I have lost 6.8lbs already!!! And I do feel a little skinnier! But I'm just trying not to get my hopes up. I really want to see 185, which I haven't seen since my highest weight! I can't wait!

190.6

So I am sooooo new at this whole blog thing, but I really wanted to keep track of my HCG diet! It's the 1st time I have done it and have done a lot of research on it before going forward with it. There's weren't any really hard facts on it validity, but I was persuaded when a good friend of mine told me she did it a year ago for 26 days and lost 21lbs!!! I was like...I should at least try it out then!

Momma got a lot more to lose then her (and by the way, we both started it together...she wants to lose another 20) so I'm doing the 46 day diet! I know rite...it's gonna be hard, but if it works, it will be worth it!

So for the 1st few days you pig out and then on the 4th day you get to start to oh beloved 500 cal diet, along with the hcg. So since I missed the 1st few day...here are my stats:

Day 1 193.8
Day 2 194.6
Day 3 193.6
Day 4 195.0
Day 5 192.0
Day 6 190.6

So far, so good!!! I just don't want to see it go up!!!

Today I'm doing an apple day and I thought I would be a lot more hungry, but thankfully, I'm pulling thru. I just have to keep strong!
