So here's what happened this weekend. I cheated. I agreed to volunteer for the troopers to be a drinker for their FST training.
When one cheats it takes three days to recover. Thus the spike on Sunday. It's a hard lesson to learn, and it won't happen again. I am hoping from now on to average a pound a day. I have 26 days left.

Trying Something Different
I have been really good about eating only 1200-1500 calories a day. My problem is having time to exercise. It doesn't do a fatty much good to eat well, and sit around because one only loses a pound (if that a week). In the last six months of doing just good eating I lost 18 pounds.
My accountabilibuddy is in the same boat. She went to her doctor to talk it out, and he suggested she try the HcG diet. I read the information, and decided it was worth a shot.
HcG is the hormone a woman's body produces when she is pregnant. It boosts your metabolism, and helps burn the fat. One has to stick to a 500-calorie diet for x amount of time (depending on how much weight you have to lose.) No dairy products, starches, or sugar of any kind. Meals typically include 100-grams of approved meat (beef, chicken, fish) a serving of salad, and a serving of strawberries, apples, or grapefruit.
I am doing the 42-day plan. So far so good. It's really a good thing I starting eating chicken before I started this plan otherwise it really would be torture!! I am done with my first week and have lost 8 1/2 pounds. Pretty good. After the 42-days I will take a 6-week break, as your body will grow immune to the HcG, and then start another 42-day round. By then I should be within a range where doing it on my own will help lose the last twenty, if I hit my goal at the end of this.
