First Day VLCD!

Well, today was the first day on the very low calorie diet, and it went fine. The loading didn't however--I got such bad heartburn on Sunday night, that I couldn't sleep--so I decided to load one more day. Also, I had had my shot so late in the day, it was like it went with the day after. So I feel fine about loading 3 days. Next time, I'm not going to eat such rich foods that gave me heartburn though!

My friend Ann is also starting the hcg diet for the first time, and I was helping her figure out how to mix it today. She had had an appointment with the hcg coach Shalom, but still had a few questions I helped her with. I feel like I should start a support group, since I've learned so much in the last year. This, by the way, will be my third round.

I gained some of my weight back since the second round, plus gained some from loading--so my official starting point this round is about 35 pounds lower than I started, instead of the almost 50 I had lost. But, I really believe I became immune before the 40 days were up, and I was losing the wrong kind of fat, because about 10 pounds came back almost right away. But then I stabilized and stayed pretty much the same--something that never happened on any other diet. This plan is amazing!

So today went pretty well, but I have been feeling a little dizzy this evening. It does take a while to adjust again when you start back on. But I can tell I'm already losing weight, so it's all worth it! Well, it's late again--more later! Until next time, Merry
