Well, Here it is 8 months later and I am finally getting back to this crazy blog of mine! :) I will keep this post brief, however, I do want to check in and let everyone know that I am, finally, after a 7 month "break" from the weight loss train, I am finally back on and having great success. Unfortunately, during this "break" I gained back most of the weight I had lost. I really don't want to dwell on all of that, however, and I want to focus on what is finally going right.

My husband and I have started the HCG diet together. We have been on it for about 5 weeks. We have both lost about 25 lbs. I love this plan! I know, I know, you are probably like a lot of the people who I have come across who have a very negative opinion about the HCG diet to think it is too extreme and not healthy etc. That is what I thought too .. until I actually started doing some research and reading the medical information behind it. And found out why it works. It is not a starvation diet! In fact, I have not been hungry on it at all .. sure there are times that I get hungry, like everyone, but then I go and eat my meal and I am full as can be afterward. Anyhow, I don't want to sit here and spend my time defending the diet. I have just had many people have negative comments about the diet (most often that it is impossible to keep the weight off, after you are done with the diet) so, I am a bit defensive. But I am here to say that this diet works. I will prove that it is possible to keep the weight off also! We will be going into the the first 6 weeks where we will maintain our weight, before we start the second round of the diet. I will keep you all informed on here, how it goes! :)

I updated the weight loss number on here to reflect how far I am down from the first time I actually weighed in for this blog. So, I have lost 27 lbs on HCG, but I was still down a few pounds from my first efforts on here.

So, no promises how often I will update this. I am now a full time student as well as full time mom and everything else, so my time is limited. But here goes. If anyone has any questions about HCG, please feel free to ask. I am willing to share any information that I have!

Thanks! :)
