The Good, The Bad, and the ugly. It was all there. 23 days of sheer madness.
Let's take this in reverse. The Ugly. 500 calories a day. And exercise actually being listed as a reason you might gain weight, so don't do it. I think both of those are probably the worst of the diet. Oh, and spending money on a placebo (arguably by some folks) drops 3x a day.
The Bad. That is how you feel. Even though you try to kid yourself that you feel great. The truth is, you are hungry most of the time and either thinking about the next time you are going to eat, or pick up smoking to deal with it. I had times when I just didn't feel like moving, and moving something heavier than 5lbs from here to there, really would leave me a bit winded.
The Good. Ok, so This is where I tell people I was surprised about this diet. And I'm not suggesting you do this diet to get these good things. I'm just telling you what I've learned. First, 25lbs lost in 23 days. Can't argue, that is not awesome. Besides the, YOU'RE LOSING IT TO FAST POLICE. Whatever. Second, portion control. I find myself, eating smaller portions in general. That's an awesome thing. I am also better at eating at meal time, and cutting out the snacking. Sure I still grab something here or there, but I am much better at it. This leads me to the next one, which is not eating late. I was notorious about eating close to bed time, and now I don't feel it necessary to eat before sleep.
So, even though it is a bit insane, and i don't really agree with it, I can't say I didn't develop better habits because of it. I could see someone possibly tripling the calories, eat the stuff it tells you to, and learning the same thing without such a drastic reduction and feeling better. Still mixed about a lot of things about it. I'm going to try and get hunter on another show and hopefully we can discuss a bit more in detail there.

The hCG Diet: End Results
So it's finally over. And I finally cheated... BIG TIME. I had some onion rings for lunch, and stopped by the BK Cafe for some dinner. And it was SOOOOOOO good. I was actually surprised to see I lost another .4 lbs this morning.
So, in 23 days, I lost 24.8 lbs. Just .2 lbs less than my 25lb goal. I can live with that. Now on to better fitness and health to go along with the initial weight loss. After this weekend, Chris and I are going to start the atkins induction diet, and then start eating low carb. I don't expect to lose as fast as this diet, but I expect to feel better. More on that with the complete recap.
Thanks for all that followed along the hCG diet reading how it was going and hopefully you learned a little bit, or saw information on the diet. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.
Beginning Weight: 333.2
Weight: 308.4

The hCG Diet: Day 23
Ahhh.. the end of the madness. So today is my last day doing this diet. I'll be posting complete thoughts on it in the next few days.
Today, I feel hungry. A little lightheaded and I'm not sure why. I did eat more protein with dinner last night. Probably 6oz instead of 3, and that could be the reason for filling like this today. It could just be everything catching up as well.
I also didn't lose any weight today. But i didn't gain any either. I think if i had stayed home and had weighed after another restroom visit, I might have shown more weight loss as well.

The hCG Diet: Day 22
Only 1.5 days left in this madness. I've stopped taking the drops, and I've had a few things that I haven't normally had on this diet. Like eggs and bacon, and broccoli.
I'm feeling well still. It's right before lunch, so I'm starting to get a little hungry. I don't really feel any different from the days when I did take the drops, so I'm really wondering. Did they do anything? Even placebo wise? I just don't know.
Someone should try saving the $ on buying drops and just do the diet without and see if you get the same results as I've had over the past 3 weeks. 3 weeks. Wow. I can't really believe that I made it this long on show a low calorie restriction.
I really think what I can take away from this is that I do have will power and I can keep myself from overeating, and eating things that are bad for me. Now to get back on a normal diet eating more of the right things than bad, and hopefully continue to lose weight. Albeit at a lesser speed.
I think I'm ok with that. Maybe I can transfer my daily weigh ins to weekly weign ins and it'll feel about the same. Lost a lb or 2 a week.
I also want to get back into fitness and start building some muscles that I have surely lost over these weeks. It'll surprise me if I'm actually able to lift the same amount and do the same things I was doing like the Power 90. I will definitely let you know how that is going.
So, what's the transition going to be? I can't just go back to how things were before hand or I will most definitely gain the weight back, and probably faster than even I could believe.
I will be getting me a 5 guys hamburger the day I quit this, just because I've been craving it for so long. I will also walk that day to burn off whatever calories I eat from it.
Then from that day on, I plan on going low carb. Possibly even doing the atkins induction diet for a month. I'll make a final decision after talking to Chris and see what we want to do together.
Speaking of Chris. I could not have done this without her. I truly couldn't. She has been an inspiration and a rock whenever I had those temptations for something else besides what we were eating, she has been there to help me through. Very understand of irritable moods, which I don't think I've really had that many of. But she might have a different story. Thank you Chris. I love you.
Ok, enough of that. I have today and tomorrow, and then on WED I will have my final weigh in for the hCG diet and everything I've learned from it. Let's see if I can get another lb lost and really lose 25 lbs. As it is now. Unless I gain weight, i will have atleast hit the advertised 1lb a day mark.

The hCG Diet: Day 19
So as you can tell from my post yesterday, it was a hard day. I really want a cheeseburger, and I didn't lose much weight yesterday. Well, it's days like today that reaffirm this crazy masochistic diet. I lost almost 3lbs. In one day. That's freakin crazy! I was hoping to lose atleast a lb, and dreaming of losing 2. But almost 3. That's awesome.
Only like 4 more days on this thing if I'm counting right. I thought 6 days last night, but I swear it's 23 days total. I'll have to go back and look. Then on to the next phase of my weight loss. Currently, we're still thinking low carb, whether it's atkins or something else. But I'm going to add in some exercise which should help me be healthier in general.
Who would have have thought that starving yourself could actually work? ;)

The hCG Diet: Day 17
Last night was another tough night. I think Chris and I talked for 1/2 an hour about different foods we wanted to eat. That's never a good thing. Just makes you more hungry.
I left off one of my fruits yesterday, and I'm going to eat more of the hCG special at Ruggby's today for lunch. Mmmm...
Oh well.. Only like 6 or 7 days to go. i forget if it's 23 or 24 days. But I'm almost there. We keep discussing moving to a low carb plan at this point. I know I'm going to have a blowout day between this madness and whatever we do. I keep thinking of 5 Guys burger and fries. Then we might do a month of atkins induction and then a mix of atkins and paleo.
So, that will be cool. Something new. Coming SOON! (6 or 7 days)

The hCG Diet: Day 16
Well 1 lb lost today. I hoped I would lose all that I gained yesterday, but wow. It didn't happen, but oh well. We'll work on that one today. I'm trying to look at the total and not the daily progression.
Last night was a bit harder than usual. I had to cook for my kids and my nephews and it's spring break fever, so they all had things like CHEESE PIZZA. Yowzer that was hard not to have a bite. Also, memories of brisket and ice cream were still in my head. But I prevailed and ate only what I was supposed to, when I was supposed to, and for the most part, I was fine. About bedtime I was feeling hungry but I had my final apple, and that held me through till sleep.
I'm feeling a little hungry this morning, working and waiting for lunch time. More steak and onions and water. Lots and lots of water.

The hCG Diet: Day 15 - Broke the Wagon
Wow, last night was not good! We had a family dinner and we were being good eating our steaks and asparagus. But then my father in law put that brisket he had made out on the table, and we had to try it. And WOW it was good. Then the hotdogs looked real good.. and the chips... and the easter eggs filled with peanut butter!! OH MY.
We didn't fall off the wagon. We plain broke the axle on it! We ended the love affair with meat and chips with a stop by Brewsters on the way home and a Strawberry cone later, we made it home.
The day after. It is seriously like a hangover. A meat hangover. I swear I feel brisket juice sweating out of my pores, and I've been on the pot all morning long with a stomach ache. It's TERRIBLE! But holy cow if nothing else, it's made me WANT to go back to eating nothing. So, the damage done for one day, and I didn't think it would really be that much, but I gained almost 2 lbs. I went overboard last night, but not THAT overboard. No way I ate 2 lbs worth of food. But I guess the scale doesn't lie! OR DOES IT! Bring out the flood lights, and the GNR! We'll get to the bottom of this.

Only 9 more days to go. I can do it. Or will I? Chris is done in a few days and it's going to be hard when she is scarfing down a pizza. Though I don't think she will be. But I can fantasize can't I?
We are going to grill out later for dinner. That sounds good! Going to do steak tips and onions. I also got the hCG cook book in. We will check it out today and see if there are any good recipes. If it is any good I'll post a review on the site. At first I was a bit miffed because it wasn't downloadable and by the time we got it I only had 11 days left in the diet and already did most of the shopping. Oh well i know a few people who just started
Anyways. I guess I'll see you tomorrow on day 15.

I'm posting from iPad today so it makes it a bit tougher to type. But at least I can post from anywhere now. I'll try to get used to it.
Oh yeah. One cool thing I have been playing with this week. Mealsnap by dailyburn.com. You take a picture of your meal and it figures out what it is and tells you the calories. It's pretty cool

Weigh in day at work! yay! From the last weigh in here, I dropped almost 12lbs. That should be pretty good. Not sure if it will put me in the lead, but it will sure drag my bot from the bottom of the pile.
I am now down 16 lbs total. In quite a short amount of time. That's the crazy thing. I know my doctor on monday is going to call me crazy, but in a nice way.
I have REALLY been craving a visit to 5 guys this week. Fries. I miss fries and onion rings. And cheese.
Ok.. i'm going to stop now before I eat my arm. Have a great FRIDAY!

Well today was more weight loss. A WHOLE 1.4 LB. I can live with that! 14.8 lbs in 11 days. Really 9 since the first two are load up days. I guess that's how you count it. One more day till weigh in. I'm on track to lose more than 15lbs for the competition, which I think will be good. May or may not be the last week due to layoffs out here on base, but hey! Could definitely use the extra $$ from winning! Oh god.. I can't even type the word without hearing Charlie Sheen in my head. HE IS A WARLOCK. That's magic. Pure Sheenius.
Anyways. I'm off to drink some water and try not to think about food! I did notch my belt in another slot today, the last one! So I'm trying to think about that as well :)

The hCG Diet: Day 10
DAY 10! It feels like a file stone of sorts. I keep telling myself only 21 days in this nightmare of no food. I really wasn't starving this morning, and I had some steak tips for lunch that my brother and law brought in to work, and they were yummy.
Talk about frustration. I thought I was miffed with the .8 of a lb yesterday. Today with only .4 of a lb. ARGH. Now that IS frustrating. I'm trying to tell myself, Well, it WAS 1.2 lbs in 2 days. When on earth would you argue that's not enough. Oh yeah. When I'm hungry. Blech. Anyways. One more day and a little more weight.
Weigh in is friday for a contest at work. Hopefully I'll get off this plateau (is it a plateu.. hmm..) and drop some major lbs over the few days and be able to come in dropping atlest 15 lbs before the contest. Wish me luck!

The hCG Diet: Day 9
Another long day in starvationville. And yes, I keep calling it that because I want people to know that, you ARE starving yourself in away. I don't care what they say about the diet, that you're eating your own fat or whatever. You're going to be hungry. I'm still not as hungry as I would think i would be. Whether that is the drops or just my body, but I AM still hungry.
I would love to have a cheeseburger and fries right now, but I think I would on just about any nutritional eating regimen.
Short and sweet today. I only lost .8 of a lb. I would have liked to have lost a full lb, but I didn't. I'm trying not to get frustrated.

The hCG Diet: Day 8
Man, what a bummer. I only lost 1/2 a lb yesterday. I really want to be losing a full lb every day if not FOUR! come on now! LOL. Well, it was a lazy day. Not much exercise, so that probably was a key factor, not to mention I wasn't feeling that well. I hope it's not because I was mixing veggies in the chili/stew/roast or adding a few leaves of lettuce in that. Hmm...
Well, we'll see how today goes. Feeling much better, and besides the building I work in smelling like a wet rug (flooded over the weekend). Things are going swimmingly well. Soooo... back to work, and I'll see you all tomorrow with another update on day 9!

The hCG Diet: Day 7
Another day in starvationdise.. it's like paradise but without food. I'm down another 2.4 lbs today. Weighing in at a svelt 321.4. That's nice. Just had an awesome lunch of filet mignon and asparagus with a grapple. mmmm... no really... it was really good, and filling. I did have a few extra asparagus since mine were microwave'd and Chris's were grilled fresh, and I wanted to try them. They were really good.
I do think my blood sugar spiked a bit today after my grapple. I might have to cut them out. I couldn't find anything on the packaging that said they added sugars but they do add artificial flavoring, and I'm not sure what that means really. Maybe it gave me a bit more sugar or something, because after lunch, I felt a little shaky, and stuff. It's subsiding a bit now that I'm writing this, so I'll definitely keep an eye on it.
Next week I go to the doctor's for a checkup. I wonder if he's going to give me the 3rd degree over being on this craze. It's ok though.. I'm used to it at this point. It's almost comical the reactions you get when you say.. yeah.. I've lost 10 lbs. Then they of course say.. Nice! And then you tack on the... In 3 days, and they goggle and go what?! Well now it's over 10 lbs, and with the weigh in at work this week.. maybe we can hit 20. Though that's a bit of a stretch.
Or is it?

I do think my blood sugar spiked a bit today after my grapple. I might have to cut them out. I couldn't find anything on the packaging that said they added sugars but they do add artificial flavoring, and I'm not sure what that means really.

The hCG Diet: Day 6
It's Saturday! Yay! So I'm slowing down on the weight loss. I knew that would happen, but come on.. only 2 lbs lost today. LOL. Ok. So i'm crazy if I don't think that's enough in... A DAY. So.. 3 days.. 9.5 lbs. That's normally like 2 months for me.
I've had my coffee this morning, and I'm at work checking a patch, and a little hungry, but that's ok. A wise man once told me the trick to staying thin and losing weight was to get used to being hungry. I don't know how wise he is because I know hunter would say you don't need to be hungry if you eat the right things, and I plan on going down that path after I finish my round of the hCG.
I will really be prepared to eat veggies and low carb after this is over. I never thought i'd be craving asparagus in my life. EVER. But I'm looking forward to running by the store on my way home today to pick up some asparagus. Lots and Lots of asparagus. In the can. The mushy kind. Yum. Really.
Ok.. time for me to go take my drops and begin a new day of starvation! WOOHOO!!

The hCG Diet: Day 5
So wow. What to say about this painful diet. For the most part I'm surprised out how.. NOT HUNGRY I am. Though I am hungry. It's just tolerable. I wonder why this is hard on a 2000 or 1800 cal diet?
I told Chris before I got on the scale this morning, that if I didn't lose atleast 1 lb.. I was done. And part of me thought I wouldn't with losing 3 lbs yesterday. Part of me was really hoping that i wouldn't so I could go back to being mcfatty mcfatterson and eat a big honking cheeseburger for lunch.
I lost 4.5 lbs.
My eyes bulged. I absolutely could not believe it. Talk about motivation.
I know I can't keep this up for a long time, but everyday I can lose 1 lb or more, I think will be motivation enough. I only have like 19 more days to go. I can do it. And to think, I could lose 19 more lbs or more. In less than a month losing 26 lbs. I might finally get under 300 lbs.
Now don't misunderstand here.. I am hungry. But I'm also fat, and sick of being fat.
