uggggg!

this morning i woke up and weighed myself and only lost .2.............yes, i said .2!!! not pleased! i did start my period (may be too much info for some people) yesterday so i am going to just chalk it up to that. i did not take my hcg today and will not take it tomorrow (in the manuscript it says for women to not take it for at least 2 days of their menstrual cycle). i hope i am not starving by sunday!

february 12, 2010: weighed 174.4

today i have eaten an apple and a melba toast............i did take a bit of the pizza hut cheese crust pizza that my husband ordered for the kids and that i have such a hard time resisting. i chewed it and chewed it and chewed it and then i spit it all out!!! that is so sad! i could devour the whole thing right now.........grease and cheese sound good to me! i will make it though! i need to fix some REAL food!

i on the hcg website that i bought the drops from, there is a place where you can ask the drs questions and they will respond to them..........i have really been wondering why i am not registering on the ketostix as burning fat. i called the office yesterday and spoke with a lady and she said that she didn't know very much about the ketostix. i was not satisfied with that answer, so i emailed the drs. just got my answer back:

i asked, "i have friends who are doing hcg injections and who are testing to see if they are burning fat instead of muscle with ketostix. when i have tested, i have always come up negative.....is that normal on hhcg or do i need to be doing something different? i have lost 11.1 pounds in 7 days, so i know that it is working. just wondering.............."

the reply, "not sure why if they are showing positive, you are showing negative. we know that when we've had patients calibrate their body fat percentage and lean body percentage before starting, and measure after, they always lose significant amount of fat percentage, and gain about one percent lean body mass. as long as you are losing and feeling good, keep going, you are burning fat."

so.......................what does all of that mean? i'm still not sure! as long as i am losing i guess i am doing the right things, right?
