Day 1 Starting the diet 83 pounds and 79 pounds to lose!

Well, what can I say? It has been a great journey so far. We are now on day 13, but I am going to go back a little to give some info about the first couple of days. We were going to go the injection route with the hcg, but decided in the end to do sub lingual. It has worked great so far. I have lost 14 pounds and Bob has lost 17 pounds. It is amazing to see how our clothes are fitting so much better. I can't believe how much our stomach's have gone down.
The first couple of load days were a little rough. It's hard to gorge on so much food, but I am glad I did because I had no hunger at all the first couple days of the diet. Bob on the other hand, did. He had a harder time adjusting to the reduced calories. He felt much better on day 3. So if you are just starting out and are wondering if your hunger is going to be in control, just wait it will. We also had a major headache the first week or so, probably due to caffeine withdrawal. We have both been shamefully addicted to diet coke. The first couple of days the loss was huge like 4 and 5 pounds each and then it has leveled off to average 1 lb a day. Don't however expect that everyday or you will be disappointed. I hit a plateau around day 10 and did not lose again for at least 3 days. I didn't worry about doing an apple day or anything like that, I know they are normal to weight loss. We are drinking the correct amount of water each day and haven't had any constipation yet. We did find a tea for that to use if it is a problem. It was at Harmons called "chocolate smooth move" It has sienna among other things to help keep you regular. The other thing I want to mention is that we have some awesome recipies that have kept the food very interesting and so we aren't bored with it yet!
It would have been nice to have some sort of support group to talk to. To get idea's like when I hit my plateau. This is why we are doing this blog, to help other's on their way to their goals! If we can do it SO CAN YOU!
