Diet-33 for me definitely

Yeay! Woke up to a new lighter me at 64.6 kg after stalling at 65.3 kg for 2 days.... There! Typical of this diet to do this to me...stalling or up a little bit and then wham...600 gram down.. I don't mind, I'll take it and I know I lost inches even though I might not be showing on the scale. My skinny jeans and pants are at least 2 inches bigger on the waist where I wanted to lose the weight most. All previous attempts at losing weight have always made me looked haggard and yet the waistline still hanged on to the bulges and muffin tops and spare tyres whatever you called the nasty stubborn fats there...ha ha.
My hubby and I have decided to continue with this phase for another 2 weeks as we managed to get the new batch of HCG on time to just push through for us to reach our target weight. I'm targeting 60-62 kg now and hubby is targeting 82-83 kg. Those were the weights we were at more than 10 years ago. My sis in law and niece have started the drops 3 days ago and will try to put some updates on them when available. They were impressed with our fast progress and wanted to try HCG as well. The same case with two of my close friends who want to try it out and today they are coming over to get the drops and I will brief them on the program. Key to success is commitment. It's easy if you really want it. You have nothing to lose except the weight...I know it after so many failed weight loss attempts and I am sure I am not the only one. HCG works and it's not another fad diet..

Diet-33 and eating out

Happy to see my weight this morning to be near my immediate target of 65 kg this round. The scale showed 66.1 kg quite a drop after my stall due to cheating and period. On the 18 April prior to my loading, I was at 74.1 kg hence officially I have dropped 8 kg in 27 days that I have been on this diet, fantastic considering that after so many previous weight lost efforts, nothing ever came close to this result. HCG works people....homeopathic drop works great despite many skeptics. Hubby weighted at 86.6 kg this morning so after 27 days, he lost a total of 8.6 kg from a start weight of 95.2 kg pre loading. Ain't that great, inches lost are great too as both of us can now wear all our thin pants that were so tight before....yeay!!
But honestly, this VLCD thing is getting on our nerves and we have been quite relax in following the strict protocol. We have been eating out most days since we started the cheating days....I suppose you tend to be less committed after seeing great results on our first 2 weeks. So we are still losing but the rate has slowed down due to our own faults. Key to HCG's success is don't cheat and your results will be consistent and fast. But with cheating you can get great results too like us but I hope we will be stable when we get to Phase 3 onwards.. So far we have been trying to stay as close to the protocol with the restaurant menus such as the type of protein and vege but of course we have no idea on what they put in the sauces...eg sugar etc.. I still want to get to my target of 62 kg and now waiting for a new batch ordered hoping to be able to just continue until 40 days at least. Wish me luck..

Diet-33 Challenges

Have not been in the mood to post as I cheated while on my Penang holiday over the weekend and have been feeling kind of low for sacrificing my progress. All because I bowed to temptations..hubby wanted asam laksa, pasembur and other stuff which we can only get the best in Penang....huh.... So we deserved the unimpressive weight yo-yoing between the loss and gain over the weekend with me stalling at 67.7 kg from previous weight of 67.3 kg achieved earlier. Hubby gained between 400 gm to 500 gm yo-yoing between 88.1 kg to 88.6 kg over the weekend, he cheated a lot more and only this morning managed to break this by losing a huge 800 gm to 87.8 kg. I am sooooo jealous as I have to lag behind, plus my period started on the 8th and I have to stop Diet-33 for a while. It's becoming more and more challenging as the diet progresses as it's so mundane and boring to eat such limited choices without creative cooking. A fussy husband is not helping.... Anyway, both of us are still over the moon with our weight loss despite the occasional cheating, not much we have been quite good....I know I promised not to cheat but the temptations were just too much.. Only when the food is worth it okay! We would never have lost this much if it's not because of HCG. It was just amazing..no doubt about it. I am already thinking about doing another session and reordering as my Diet-33 is finishing..

Diet-33 to cheat or not to cheat

Just got home from a weekend in Penang and survived the temptation to join the wedding festivities by overeating as we usually did. Packed a slow cooker and bought some fresh protein and vegetables to cook in the hotel room for me and hubby... What a sacrifice.

Unfortunately, we tried to experiment with Pomelo, a type of fruit very similar in taste to Grapefruit; hubby is a huge fan of this fruit and we bought about 8 slices of the fruits to share between us on the way to Penang. Well bad decision as the next morning we suffered from the foolish experiment, hubby still lost 200 gram and then stalled at 90 kg the next day with no weight loss, lucky him as for me I gained 200 gram...darn! So after 11 days on the VLCD diet, I weight at 69 kg. Huhuhuhu....first time suffering from a weight gain after a daily lost of at least 200 gram is depressing....

Enough of self pitying for our foolishness and back onto the protocol for the next 2 days and yeahah! Managed to push the weight down to 68.5 kg for me and hubby down to 89.4 kg. What a big relief... Will have to really stay on track and not stray away as we have a lot more to lose..
