I did a little shopping tonight... My husband is out of town and I guess I was a little bored, plus I'm giving away all my old work clothes so I have all this room in my closet that was just crying "Fill me up!" So I had a couple of coupons to Mervyn's so off I went. And all the size 10's fit me! Woo Hoo! I've still been wearing a few of my 12's because last time I checked the 10's were still a little tight, but no more! I only bought one pair of 10's though because I promised myself I wouldn't spend money on pants until I lost all my weight. But I found a pair that fit so great and looked so good on that I bought them in a 10 for now and an 8 to save for later! I did get some new fitted blouses and shirts in get this, size Medium! My closet hasn't seen mediums in quite a while. And actually the smalls fit too but just still a little too form fitting for my taste.
So of course when I got home, I just had to get the tape measure out and see how much I've lost. I don't measure all that often because I'm not very good at it and I'm never sure if I'm getting the same spot, but every place I measured, even my ankles which have always been small, have gone down! An inch each in my thighs, hips, chest, under chest, and upper arms, and 1/2 inch in my waist! So cool and I'm excited about wearing my size 10 slacks to work tomorrow!
Sorry I don't have my pics ready to post yet. I sent an email asking my daughter if she could send them since they're on her camera so maybe by tomorrow.
My friend had her first VLCD day yesterday and reported in a 2.2 loss this morning. That takes care of her 2lb load gain! She seemed very happy about it, but said that she got VERY hungry that evening and drank so much tea and water that she had to get up to go to the bathroom during the night. I told her that it would get better after a few days and gave her a few more suggestions for the hunger so we'll see how she does today.
It's late so I'll have to cut this short and I don't have time to make the blog rounds tonight either :-( So all you bloggers out there, I'll catch up on your blogs tomorrow!

Monica, I used low sodium canned beef broth from Fry's. I just found some at Trader Joe's that's a liquid concentrate that says reduced sodium. You put the little pouch into a cup of hot water. I'll try that next time. They are a little less expensive.

Thanks Biz, yes any loss is good, even the little old .2 I had today. I'll take it! Sorry the pics aren't here yet. I don't mean to be a tease! LOL!

Wendy, you're a motorcycle mama! Sounds like fun and the wildflowers should be great again this year... Pics will get here but it's out of my control right now.

Jen, I wish I looked like you! But I'll be hot for my age! hehe. And if you want to see some pics you can go to the photo file on HCG2 group and mine are there from my first round "kinda" before (I think it was about a week or so into the round) and about mid-way. I'll repost them with the third view when I get them. Thing, thang, rebot, robot, I knew what you meant! LOL!

Soups are the best! I would always make double batches and share with my daughter when she was on the protocol and she would always say that it made her feel like she was eating too much! But she loved 'em too!
