I seem to be back on track. Down another pound to 154.6 this morning. I did eat my melba toast yesterday because I was up from 8AM-2AM and was hungry between meals. I did not have my fruit. I had half a serving of tilapia( I was in a hurry) and a whole serving of chicken/greens. I also had a sugar-free apple cider. I guess I need less than 500 calories a day to lose weight. But surprisingly, I am not having the huge emotional let down watching my coworkers eat Olive Garden breadsticks. I'm getting more OK with the deprivation thing. 

It's amazing to think if I am back on track, that in a week I'll be down in the 140's. It's been years since I've seen 149 on a scale. I'll be really happy. (Guys may want to skip to this paragraph.) I wonder if having my period will slow down my weight loss. I plan to continue the injections unless it causes too heavy  a flow (which is the reason they suggest not doing the injections then, but I've read several blogs where women say it is no problem for them.) I anticipate there will be 2-3 days w/o weight loss, maybe even water weight gain. Well, next week we'll see. 

Two of my coworkers started injections yesterday. So starting Saturday I'll have some more moral support. However on the 4th of July we're having a potluck as we always do on holidays, and there will be plenty of goodies. I'm sure I will be ok as long as  I don't hit another plateau before then. I will be happy to have the support of my hcg-coworkers tho.
