1Body4Sixty – Day 5

Peggy - 210 lbs (-3.0; -9.0 Total)


Happy days, my weight this morning was at 210 lbs.!!! That comes out to 1.8 lbs. per day! I again was up five times during the night, however, I realized that I have not had the nightly bout of heartburn that I had always experienced since starting the 1Body4Life Weight Loss diet. For years, I have kept anti-acids in my nightstand and used them daily. I am unsure of why I have not been experiencing this, but am very glad that I am not.

Morning coffee with Stevia (2 cups), my probiotics, and injection has become a routine.
Lunch was ½ cup of low fat cottage cheese (my protein substitute) with ground pepper and two cups of spinach. Mid afternoon I had an orange and two cups of Oolong tea with Stevia. Dinner consisted of 4 oz. lean steak seasoned with garlic and sea salt and a salad of romaine and iceberg lettuce, tomatoes with two tablespoons of the Walden Farms ‘free of everything’ Creamy Bacon Dressing and two bread sticks. Yum! Evening snack was one cup of fresh strawberries.

It has been an effort to stay away from oil based personal care products. Although my make-up is water based, other personal care products do have oils. My cologne has oil in it!! Apparently, scents do have oil bases. So while on the HCG diet women (and men that use scents) should consider using a ‘toilet water’ type scent.

1Body4Forty - Day 5

Amy - 166.7 (-4.3; 5.6)

Finally down 4.3 lbs to hit the 160 range! So happy the extra weight has come back off!  Such a relief    to feel like I'm back on track to losing weight.

I started the day with a couple of cups of coffee and late morning fruit of strawberries with stevia. (My favorite.)  Lunch was 3.7 oz of lean steak broiled with Weber Chicago Steak spice mix and a vegetable of sauteed spinich (more of my favorites...)  An orange mid-afternoon became my second fruit for the day.  For dinner I had baked chicken marinated in white wine vinegar and cumin, along with a salad of greens, tomato and a red wine vinegar & greek spice dressing. 

I am hoping I don't stall tomorrow because of the steak I ate for lunch, plus I was a few glasses shy of drinking all of the water I needed.  All in all, it has been a good start to this diet!
