FIFTEEEE!!!!

Them weight loss journey started in May of this year. I made a goal to try to lose 60 pounds by the end of the year.  I never thought I could make it and wasn't very encouraged.  I started counting calories and lost 10 pounds in 2 months. I was encouraged. I maybe could do this after all.  Then I started the HCG diet on July 5 and my life completely changed! 

I wasn't sure if I could do the diet for 21 days.  It was a challenge to me to accomplish this huge task.  I didn't cheat once time in 42 days. The first 21 days I lost 21 pounds. The next 21 days I lost 9 pounds.  I was sooo excited because I had lost 40 pounds!

I started the HCG diet again on September 1. In the first 13 days I lost 10 more pounds. FIFTEEEEE POUNDS!!!!  Holy cow I have lost 50 pounds since May!!!!!!!!!!!  I have another 8 days in phase 1 and I am hoping to lose 10 pounds.  I am planning to stay on phase 1 until the last 10 pounds are lost. Then I want to work on 12 more pounds before Christmas. 

My goal is to lose 22 more pounds before the end of the year. I feel amazing! I can buy clothes from any store. I told my dad I am not sure I have ever been this size as an adult.  He laughed and told me I am still not an adult. LOL

Art has been sooo encouraging through this entire process.  I am surprised I didn't wake up with a pillow over my face.  I know there were times he just wanted to smother me because I have been cranky.  My family and friends have been such a great support team!

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!
