Christmas THIN diet Challenge Begins!! (Updated)

I'm so glad that many of you have jumped on board for the Christmas challenge.  I am wanting to lose 20 lbs by Christmas, which is 4 weeks away.  I am going to post everyone's progress (that is doing the challenge) on my blog weekly. My current plan to lose the weight is to stick with HCG.  However, I will do the diet like I am supposed to and not by cheating all of the time. See below at all those who are participating:

DIET CHALLENGE: Christmas Thin

Posting this on Thanksgiving is probably the worst idea ever, however, I want to have a Christmas challenge.  As of right now, I'm about 150 lbs.  I want to be 130 by Christmas.  Yes, I know, 20 lbs in a month is a lot, BUT, I think I can do it.  I would also like to invite all of you in on this challenge.  You can set your own goals, but if you have other people doing it with you, it should help.

Let me know who is in! 

Skinny Girl Ice Cream

Something I have recently discovered is Skinny Girl Ice Cream.  It comes in small (probably around 5 ounce containers) and it's about $1.50 per container.  However, it is a nice treat and it's only 150 calories.  That has started to be my treat, when I really want one.

Today in class we were talking about blogs and the professor asked who had one.  I raised my hand (real smart right).  The he asked what kind of blog I had.  I said it's a diet and exercise blog.  Then one of my classmates was like "you have to send me the link."  I definitely don't think I'm going to do that.

Also, I'm still on HCG and yes it is still working.  Someone today (that sees me almost everyday) asked if i was losing weight.  This made me super happy! :) Yay, someone finally noticed!

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a fabulous day.  Enjoy the photos :)

Oh...the HCG weigh!

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update.  My weight is around 154, which is 3 pounds lower than last time.  Now before you jump to conclusions and say "HCG doesn't work like it is supposed to," let me give you some information.  For the past week and a half I have literally been pigging out...a.k.a Mcdonalds, Burger King, Sports Bars, buffets, cupcakes, candy, etc.  You name it, I have probably indulged in it the past week.  Obviously, NOT the diet I am supposed to be sticking to with the HCG drops.  On the days I ate upwards of 3,000 to 4,000 calories I did not gain one pound.  I maintained the weight I was.  This shows me that the drops DO work.  Because if I were to eat that much without the drops, I would have gained 3-5 pounds.  Yesterday I jumped back into eating like I am supposed to (for the most part) and I am already down a pound.  So no, I probably won't lose 30 pounds in 30 days, but not because the drops don't work, but because I decided to eat like a pig! 

3 pounds down in 4 days!

As promised, I said I would provide information on how I was doing on the HCG diet.  I'd say the HCG drops really work.  On day one I started out at 160.4, today (day 4) I weighed in at 157.  I have even more eating more than the recommended calories usually 200-500 calories more and I have still been losing.  So far so good :)

Quick update on the HCG diet

I started the HCG diet this morning.  My starting weight is 160.4 and my goal weight is 120.  For the first two days (while taking the drops) you eat as you normally would.  I will keep everyone updated every few days to let you know how my weight loss is doing on this diet.  At the end, if it works, I will post the website that I bought my drops from. 

Sorry there are no pictures, I didn't have time this morning. 

I got my drops, time to lose 30 lbs in 30 days.

I received my HCG drops in the mail today!!! I am super excited!! However, I am going out of town this week, so I am going to start this diet on Saturday!  Trust me I will keep everyone updated and let you know of my progress. I really hope this works! Wish me luck :)
