Loss

We'll start with the weight:
 23 pounds gone.
Start 182 - End 159
 I'm on week 1 of my 3 weeks of stabilizing at this weight. I will then proceed with round 2 and attempt to lose the last 29lbs. 130 here I come!

Inches: I'm only going to note locations of significant losses.
Chest- Start 42- End 38 = 4inches and 1 cup size (NO MORE DD EVER AGAIN!!!)
Waist- Start 40- End 36 = another 4inches!
Hips- Start 46 - End 42 = Yet again 4inches... hmmm trend?
Thighs - Start 23.5 and 24 - End 20 each ...well you can figure out that loss on your own

I'm not thrilled that I bumbled up and down as much as I did through the diet this time. There was a lot of stalling and re-gaining weight lost which frustrated me but I stuck with it and came out pretty victorious. Now I'm working on the Paleo/Primal thing for three weeks before I begin again. I'm doing really well with it actually, I like the restrictions it provides just like I needed with the HCG to be able to contain my exuberance for eating. It feels good to not have had back problems and not to constantly be reeling from the acid reflux.

Other losses-
 Love lost. It happens. I'm in the process of mourning currently and you will note that I am completely and utterly distraught and devastated and any other word you can use to describe insufferable pain. Yes others suffer worse and I'm thankful for not having those problems. However, I am not sure how long the recovery will take here. So don't ask. In the meantime I will be focusing on my upcoming trip to Colorado for a week, possibly 2.

Money lost. If you ever need something to take your mind off your horribly broken heart trying having your bank card information stolen and your hard earned money maxed out.This can be regained as soon as the amounts that have been spent process their respective banks. Once they have officially posted my bank will refund the money. I have spent most of my Memorial day on the phone and internet with 1. the local police, 2. my bank's fraud dept, 3. iTunes, 4. the FTC, and 5. the credit bureaus. Luckily iTunes (the scene of the first crime) has tracked down the account that was using my credit card number and subsequently shut down their account and prevented any further use of the card listed. My bank canceled my card and is sending me a new one. The police have filed a report and I have contact information for them and you'd better believe I will be keeping on top of this situation until they have done all they can to catch the thief. A word to any of you out there contemplating criminal behavior- Don't. Get a freaking job and try earning the money you plan to spend on iTunes, that website you decided to build and whatever else you plan to buy...then perhaps you will understand what a crushing blow it is when someone steals from you. And then watch out for the little brown headed woman who barely reaches 5'2" and will kick your ass as soon as she finds out you're the asshole who stole from her. I'm just sayin...put me alone in a room with this fool...we'll see who comes out cryin.

Don't worry about me...I'll survive this. I always have, I always will.

Holy blah. What a tough run. But that's awesome you're doing HCG again! I'm jealous. I bought all my stuff at the beginning of the year to start again and THEN figured out I was pregnant. I day dream of the days of fitting into pre-prego clothes. Best of luck with it! As you know, it's hard but totally worth it! Keep at it hon!

Thanks Kelley! I'm glad I was able to find such good deals on the HCG since they've stopped selling it in kits. But I found on Amazon the injection supplies and was able to order from the online pharmacy the HCG. Not bad and after struggling so much with the first round I decided I would try the whole cycling thing and do a second round to hopefully get down to where I really want to be weight wise.
You might be interested in checking out the whole Paleo/Primal thing by the way! It's really awesome and the main focus is staying away from refined sugars and grains so instead of baking with regular flour you use almond or coconut flours and instead of sugar you can use agave, raw honey or pure maple syrup or even stevia. I've made a few things so far and it's turned out really great and it seems to be in line with the same kind of healthy eating you have to do with the HCG diet.
