Day 323 “If I can do it, you can do it.”


Down a total of 99.5 pounds since January 1st. LOL My body is teasing me. I am hovering at 175.5. I so wanted to get on the scales and be able to say, “I’ve lost 100 pounds!!!” But, I know I will be able to say that this week. I’ve lost 11.5 on this 4th course of HCG with 11 more days to go, and then 3 weeks of stabilization, which will end on December 24th. I will say it once again… too bad the pounds don’t slip away on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th courses as easily as they do on the 1st course … lost 31 pounds on the 1st course. This is still the most amazing Christmas gift that I have ever given myself. This has been quite an experience. 

If you have been following this for any length of time, you know that I am a realtor with Keller Williams in Kansas City and I am taking a real estate class called BOLD (8 weeks long). I took it last year at this time too. They recommend we take it every year. I guess they know that some of us are just slow. Anyway, I got a letter the other day from myself. Last year they had us write ourselves a letter with goals for the next year. Opening it was great fun and I found I had accomplished most of what I had written. One of the goals was that I wanted to lose 50 pounds in 2011. When I shared this in class and then told everyone that I had lost twice that, I got a standing ovation and so many people have come up to me to congratulate me and to say that I am giving them hope.

I really feel that I have not only done something for myself, but for others too.

Take care you HCG Lovers. Stick with it.

Aside from books bought by metaphysical students, her best-selling novel is a historical, science fiction story, based on Mayan and Native American myths, called Saving the Crystal Skull.

She currently serves as a staff writer for ACA’s Executive Life Magazine producing a monthly real estate column and submitting other articles. She expects to have her second real estate book published mid-2017.

    Maybe there is just something about that weight… 175… I have been hovering here for three days myself, and it is my all time low number. I have never been able to break below it! Your success has been amazing, so I am sure the time is close for you to jump on that scale and bust through that that plateau. Congratulations on all you have accomplished this far!
