Day 27: Seriously?

So it's been a week since I broke one twenty-pound threshold (on Day 21, I dropped to more than 20 pounds below my peak post-load weight).  I haven't celebrated yet because I wanted to make it official by being 20 pounds below my Day 1 weight (which was 3.4 pounds less than my peak weight).  I figured that would only take a couple more days, but I still haven't hit it!  For the past six days, I've had THREE POUNDS to lose, and this is how my weight loss has looked:
Day 22: -1.3 pounds
Day 23:    0
Day 24: -0.9 pounds
Day 25: -0.2 pounds
Day 26: -0.3 pounds
Day 27: -0.2 pounds
---------------
  2.9 pounds!


I definitely have some pre-menstrual bloating going on, AND it's probably time for me to plateau a bit, but SERIOUSLY!  If my losses don't pick up again, I'm going to end up FAR from my goal, and that will be depressing.  


I'm already a little scared of "Phase 3"...that's the three weeks following the six weeks of injections.  For that period of time, I am to increase our calorie consumption with an emphasis on protein.  I am still supposed to avoid starch and sugar, but I don't have to limit fat or calories except to stay within two pounds of my weight on the morning of my last HCG injection.  If I go above the two pound limit, I am to have a "steak day" in which I fast all day until 4-6pm, when I have a large steak and an apple or raw tomato.  I'm dreading Phase 3 because I'll need to start worrying about what I eat again.  Of course I can't live on 500 calories for the rest of my life, but it's been surprisingly nice to not have many food options because I just don't want to have to put that much thought into it.  


So back to the doc tomorrow.  Hopefully her measuring tape will have better news than my scale does.  

181.0

Wish I could say things were going better but I'm back to small loses again.  From Saturday to Sunday I lost nothing and this morning I was down half a pound.  Didn't post yesterday because I had a cold and for the majority of the day I was sleeping.  Not sure what the deal is, hopefully tomorrow I'll hear some good news regarding inches.  Today I had move the belt down another notch.  One more hole left then I definitely need a new belt!
