Where does the weight go?
I have read a few post about where people are losing the weight. Myself.. I started in my face then worked its way down. I still have the belly, but much better. I think that it was just so big to begin with. I am hoping that it starts to melt away like everything else.
Great Recipe site for HCG

Foods that I miss and dont miss
A quick list of my favorites that I haven’t touched since the protocol began.
1. Chicken wings. Honey and spicy hot (mostly just the wing sauce)
2. Bread - tortillas
3. Cheese
4. Booze. Even a little glass of wine would be just lovely
5. Any good salad dressing
6. Flavored nuts. I love wasabi and spicy nuts. Never thought they were bad for you, but read the label. Loaded with sugar.
What I don’t miss:
1. Beef (once you have veal or buffalo youll know why)
2. Sweets like candy or sugar gum
3. Creamer - even though a nice cappuccino sounds good
4. Milk
5. Diet soda (just crazy because I used to drink so much of it) Mimosa has really been great about not drinking soda too. (Which is awesome)
6. Butter. A little Olive oil is the solution.
Im going to keep comming back to the list as time goes by. I kind of feel like those guys stuck on a island that talk about what they are going to eat when the get rescued. "Im going to have a beer, cheeseburger and two scoops of ice cream". My prison or rescue meal right now would be a buffalo foccacia from zipps and an 8th street ale. (make that a half yard of that 8th street sir)

Day 24... feeling good - night cravings
Just had a chicken, cabbage and apple lunch.. I threw the rock (football) around with the boy and getting some quiet time in before Reed is up and at em.
The last few nights I have had some cravings after dinner around 8pm.. Usually if I get any cravings during the day I just drink coffee and that works. I think I’m going to try some decaf tea at night to see if that helps. When I have cheated (not really) I have had a handful of nuts. Pretty tasty.. Make sure they don’t have sugar. A ton of almonds and nuts have sugar in em. Eat a few of those and say hello to hunger. I think it’s amazing I haven’t cheated yet. Every diet I have ever been on I always have a cheat night or cheat meal. EVERY DIET. I am not sure if it is this diet or me this time. I think when you step on the scale and see so much coming off, that you really don’t want to lose that day or two for a brownie or pizza. Trust me; I have had it all in front of me in the last 24 days. I should stop right now so I don’t jinx myself and end up with a los betos burrito at 2am. (I have had too many of those tasty, amazing, fatty, cheesy things to count!) The problem with eating at 2am as you know is that you are way to buzzed to taste the food and end up swallowing the whole thing without breathing.
I am feeling real good today. Even though I said never to do it, I did a few sit-ups earlier.. I just feel so useless when I don’t pick up a weight or do something related to exercise. Ill keep you in the loop about how bad it is..
I made tasty pork and taco night for family last night.. And double size brownies. They loved it up.. I had some cabbage and chicken. Sound familiar?

Weigh in day .. 21 days in
Thought I would update my weight (step on scale every Friday).
Started at 238 and this week was 217.. So 21 pounds.. Awesome. That was with all my clothes and a ton of coffee before my Dr. appt.
Did you know a gallon of water weighs 8.35 pounds! Keep that in mind when you have just downed 5 glasses and step on a scale!
