4w4d 127.8 (+1.0)

Okay, so I am now 4 weeks 4 days pregnant (4w4d)and so excited. Today is my third day of not taking my hcg injection. I did another pregnancy test, and my positive line was even darker than two days ago. On Friday, I had a faint positive line. When you are pregnant, hcg is supposed to double every two days and make the line even darker. So today, I did another pregnancy test (same brand) and the positive line was much darker. Yes!! I felt bad at first because some of the people on the HCG forums thought the hcg was giving me the positive line but all of my tests were negative until the day of my missed period and now that the line is getting even darker even though I am three days off of the shots, I am feeling great about it! I have had some morning sickness this morning. I was up 1 pound this morning and I don't know why. I did the three days after my last shot of low calories and yesterday I was so sick to my stomach that I didn't eat very much. However, I didn't drink enough water so I am hitting it hard today. For breakfast, I had a Kashi bar and then for lunch I am going to have skillet squash that I made and a 3 oz steak. I am so unsure of what to eat today? Do I eat cheese? I may grab a cheesestick and eat my chicken and salsa tonight!

Okay, so I am still in shock that I am finally pregnant again! We have been trying over a year to have our third child! I wonder if the hcg helped? The first month that I start the hcg diet, I am pregnant!! I am still losing weight though and have lost 1.2 pounds since finding out I was pregnant. Today I am at my lowest weight again of 126.8. I ate around 850 calories yesterday and stopped my shots yesterday. If feels wierd not to go in the fridge and get my hcg shot but I know my body is making its own hcg. The first trimester, it said that pregnant women burn an extra 300 calories and should not gain weight. I never usually gain weight in the first trimester and now it looks like I am losing. I am still taking my prenatal vitamin. Yesterday, I ate my Kashi Double Chocolate Cherry bar for breakfast and had cabbage and grilled chicken breasts with salsa for lunch. For dinner, I took my boys to Chick-fil-a and I had their Chargrilled Chicken with Fruit Salad with no dressing but I did add the granola. I am always down when I eat fruit and chicken salads!! I was the same way with the one at Panera!! I am up early because we are going to look at a basement home today and my DH is already shopping for bunk beds for the boys. I hope they like sharing a room!!

VLCD Day 25

Weight: 127 pounds (-1.0)

I was down a pound today! I am so excited. 127 sounds so much better than my higher weight of 135. I feel better and my clothes are actually lose now so maybe I will be in size 4's at every store and not just the Tommy Hilfiger outlet!! My size 6's are falling off. Yesterday, I ate a Kashi bar double chocolate coconut and it was delicious!! For lunch I had a grilled chicken breast and some fajita chicken meat so I had about 6 ounces of chicken. I went over because I am not supposed to eat more than 4 ounces. Oh well, at least it was protein!! For dinner, I had a 3 oz steak and some broccoli and it was delicious. All of that and I was down a pound!

HOWEVER, I am going to have to take a break from the hcg diet. I hate it because I have lost so much weight but I am now making my own hcg :) I am expecting, no wonder I am losing so much!! Wish me luck and I hope that my pregnancy is healthy. I am going to keep this blog updated now with my pregnancy info!!

My body loves 128.0! TOM is getting ready to start soon (most likely) because I have been bloated and feeling hungry! I always feel really hungry before TOM starts. I made a bunch of more cabbage tonight and some more steaks. I put 5 large frozen chicken breasts in my crockpot and poured a huge jar of salsa over them with one cup water and cooked them on low for 8 hours. It is like shredded chicken! It was delicious!I did eat to many melba toasts last night and I think that is why I was up. I ate around 750 calories and I have been losing around 700 calories or less. I will do better today. Only two shortbread cookies today and one serving of melba toast!!

I am down today and very excited. 127.6!! Almost to the 126.8 on day 20 which has been my lowest so far. Today I drank a protein shake for breakfast. I bought some more shortbread cookies from my co-worker who is selling girl scout cookies. They are great and just 4 of them is 120 calories. I have been having 4 every day and losing weight. Since I increased my calories to 700, I have finally been losing!! I brought some cabbage for lunch along with my mesquite grilled chicken breast. I am going to have my hubby buy some more cabbage so that I can boil it. I love it!! For dinner, I am going to have my steak and broccoli. I can't wait to see what the scale says tomorrow. Hopefully 126!!

I knew that such a big loss was probably due to water but at least I stabilized at 128, which is 1.2 less than the 129 that I was stuck at for two days. I am very happy with 128 and still only 8 pounds from 120!! I also think that I went up some because last night we went to see Avatar and I was starving and ate one cup of the popcorn. It was delicious!! My son and boys ate two tubs of it so at least I didn't eat that much! Today I drank a protein shake again for breakfast. I ate chicken fajita meat and broccoli for lunch along with 100 calorie serving of melba toast. My snack will be one shortbread cookie (30 calories) and tonight I am going to eat cabbage and steak.

Wow, today I was down almost 3 pounds to 126.8!! I swear that the Fuji Apple with Chicken Salad at Panera Bread always helps me lose. Last time I ate it, I lost two pounds and now I have lost almost 3 pounds after eating it again. I am so close to my goal weight of 120!! Today, I am going to drink a protein shake for breakfast again and then for lunch, eat my chicken breast and tomatoes with a wheat tortilla from Dillons. They are only 60 caloreis!! For dinner, I might eat some chili or a steak. Since I cut out the fruits and added the protein shake for breakfast, I have been very successful. It is slightly off protocol but I believe that sometimes it has to be changed in order to fit your individual body. I have finally found something that works for me!!
