Updates!

Wow, it's been forever since I last posted! The last time I posted I said that I was going off any special dieting, and just keeping a close eye on my weight. Well, it has worked. I haven't gone down to 137 since I started just eating whatever I chose. So... I got to eat to my heart's content on Thanksgiving! It was a little scary though, coming home and weighing myself to see the scale say 144! But by breakfast time the next day, I was already back down to 141, so I didn't have to do a steak day. I ate cautiously, and stuck to low carbohydrate and starch foods. By Saturday morning I was back down to hovering between 139.5 and 140.0. It seems that my hypothyroid might be pretty stabilized! I'm still going to watch my weight VERY carefully until the end of my 42 day maintenance phase.

I have to say I am really enjoying being able to eat banana bread, tacos, corn on the cob, and, of course, sweet potatoes! Yummy! I am also enjoying being able to eat these foods without the fear of bloating and weight gain :D

I have been thinking about what I'm going to do at the end of this diet... whether I am going to do a second round of the HCG, in an attempt to lose 10 more pounds, or if I am going to try something else. I've been half-heartedly looking into trying Acai berry, as that is said to really do a great job with energy and weight loss.

Here are a few links, so you know what I'm talking about.

Acai Berry Questions and Answers

The only thing is that I think it can be expensive. I'm going to do some more research on it, and will update my blog when I have more information.

Meanwhile, my hubby thinks I look great. I think his words were - "better defined and shapely figure." Oh who am I kidding. I know those were his words... I wrote them down right after he said them HAHA!!!

Loving the new me!
