A good bit of inconsistency (weight was up and down) this week as I took some advice from others and worked on tweaking the diet to find the way it works with my body (which is not very well). I seem to have it now where its going down, but at a ridiculously slow pace. Can't eat too little, can't eat too much, gotta keep that fat and protein in the sweet spot. Honestly, I'm getting to the point where I think I have to accept that for whatever reason, this method of weight loss does not work great with my body.

I've decided I will go on HCG with a VLCD to get some weight off quickly and restore my faith in my ability to lose weight. I'll do a 21 day round of P2 and then 3 weeks of P3 (which is essentially a LC diet). By then it'll be time for our Spring Break cruise to the Caribbean. When we get back from that, I'll decide where I go from there.

233.4 lb Lost so far: 3.6 lb.    Still to go: 33.4 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
