Day 21: Halfway!

Today marks the end of our third week on the injections with only three more weeks to go, and I'm pleased with my progress so far.  Chicken Day #2 was successful, giving me another 0.9 pound loss.  That makes my total loss 17 pounds from Day 1 and 20.4 pounds from my peak post-load weight.  If I can maintain that rate of loss (which is supposed to be difficult to do), I'm looking forward to being 35-40 pounds lighter by the end of the month.  Too bad I don't have any control over the rate of loss!  


I saw the doc again this morning for measurements, and I lost a little bit all over this week.  Each arm lost another 0.25 inches (for 1.5 inches each), my bust is down another inch (for a total of 3 inches), my waist is down another inch (for a total of 2.25 inches), and I lost another 0.75 inches around my ribs (for a total of 2.75 inches).  My big ol' butt got another 1.25 inches smaller (2 inches total), each knee lost another 0.5 inches (1 and 1.5 inches each), and one calf lost 0.5 inches.  All in all, I lost another 6 inches this week for a total of 24 inches.  Many of my clothes are getting quite baggy, but I think the smaller items I have are still a little snug, so I'll go gangsta for awhile.  I'm NOT going to buy new clothes yet because I anticipate going many sizes smaller.  


Time to go make our 6th chicken meal in a row.  If we have another big loss in the morning, I'll be buying more chicken tomorrow.  If we don't, I'd really like a good piece of beef!  HS claims to not care what we eat tonight because he doesn't care if it tastes good anymore, but HS is full of BS.
