Encouragement

Starting Wt. 264 - R1 D21 - Today's Wt -250

Today is a heavy TOM day and I thought for sure I had put on about 100 pounds, so I was plesantly surprised to see the scale at 250. My total weightloss on the Dr. Simeons protocol is 14 pounds so far, which isn't the best in 21 days, but considering having to have been travelling on business and then TOM, I guess I am doing ok. I am really looking forward to these next two weeks of the protocol. I want to finish up my R1 with a bang! I am hoping to lose a total of at least 30 pounds on this round, which I am not sure if that is realistic or not, since I have nothing to base it on.

Reading the yahoo message board has really been encouraging lately. There are some great people out there who have been very inspirational to me. Thanks everyone!

I have also been reading about Stevia. Hmmmm flavored Stevia. I had never heard about that before. I will have to try that. I wonder where you get it. I'll have to check that one out.

I haven't had any visitors lately.... Where did you guys all go? It's nice to get comments on the blog.... it helps keep up the motivation.

Handling TOM

Starting Wt. 264 - R1 D 19 Today's Wt. 251
Down 1 Today... Yay!

Today was my first day back to work after being out of town for 8 days. It was nice to be home over the weekend and great to have a couple of days off after such a long trip. It's also great to be back to strict Dr. Simeons Protocol.

At this point I am wondering how to handle TOM. I should have started by now, but haven't. Do I stop taking hCG for a couple of days? Or do I wait for it to start? and then stop taking hCG ... and for how long?
