Day 7 of the VLCD, and I have lost 10 pounds. WooHoo!!!!! Have not really been hungry so to speak. I believe the hcg drops help that, and being focused on what I am wanting to accomplish. Getting rid of the fat around the torso (which is linked to heart disease, and is a heavy factory in my family history) is very motivating. I was measured at the doctors office and have lost inches....didn't total up yet, but it was good. Tried on some different shorts yesterday, the fit but not comfortable like it like them (a little loose and baggy), size 6 though! I do have a pair of shorts that I was to be able to wear, and I will be wearing them in a few short weeks. I think one of the reasons for my success, is I can't smell so any smells of food don't bother me. Will really help at the baseball game today, POPCORN.....ARGGGGGG!!!! Well til next time. See you soon. It's your life make it great.
