Am I Ready for Round 2?

Today I had yet another doctor's appointment, and I weighed in at 184.5lbs. I am loving that I've been off injections for my 3 days and I've still managed to lose weight. Thing is, I'm pretty certain that I'm going back on protocol next week. I really want to lose all of the weight that I can before becoming pregnant. Yep, if I hadn't mentioned it before, my husband and I are trying to conceive. So, we thought it would be simple. It isn't. For some reason or another I am not ovulating. So I'm taking 100mg of clomid. Clomid is a fertility drug that from my understanding helps the ovaries produce follicles that release eggs...Issue is, sometimes it releases more than one egg and the possibility for twins, triplets, and quadruplets are raised. Now, do I think that I'll be one of the lucky ones who gives birth to multiples. NO. Absolutely not. But regardless of whether or not there are two buns in the oven or just one, I want to be as healthy as I can possibly be before that times comes. So, I am taking a really short break, and hopping right back on the HCG protocol next week. Kevin and I officially start trying on 'Labor Day.' No pun intended. My first round of clomid will be over and I should begin ovulating. Wish us luck!

17lbs Down

I have to say I'm quite proud of myself. Maybe 17lbs is not a lot, however I definitely know that at the rate I was going that I could very well be 17lbs heavier. I'm going to take what I can get, because after all, I did work hard for it. This HCG protocol is not easy. It really is for people who are serious about losing weight and making a lifestyle change. It takes effort and dedication, and a real desire to do better with yourself and your life. It's also not a solution to eating whatever you want to eat and then taking HCG to lose a few pounds in order to fit back into you size 2's. No, this is a serious inquiries only, not to be taken advantage of, lifestyle change. I'm very proud to have gotten out of this protocol what I have put into it, and that's definitely the benefit of hard work.
