Despite waking up feeling weak and congested (allergies? cold? death from starvation? jk), I stepped on the scale and found I was 2.2 pounds less. After gaining about 3-4 pounds on my loading days, it's expected to lose the "loading weight" within 48 hours so I'm off to a good start, I guess. It was tough going to my mom's group this morning and denying myself the yummy-looking chocolate chip scones and pineapple and kiwi, but I satisfied my appetite with tea. Ok, "satisfied" isn't quite the right word, but it'll do. I made it to lunch which was shrimp sauteed in lemon juice and Wildtree Scampi Blend along with half a raw cucumber and a breadstick. I don't actually enjoy shrimp that much, but since it's one of only 7-8 meats allowed (lean beef, veal, tilapia, chicken, lobster, crab, white fish), I decided to go ahead and make some occasionally. Dinner was Baked Apple Chicken with Melba toast snacks and celery. I went to home church where there was a very tempting spread of desserts, but I maintained my composure and my diet by trying to stay away from it all. I'm still feeling tolerably hungry and am hoping this feeling will go away after my first week as they say it will. But overall, it's not too bad.
I found a great tutorial video explaining a little bit about the HCG diet:

I woke up after my first 500 calorie day feeling congested as well I also had a nagging what seemed like sinus headache. I could not decide if it was the early spring weather (ie allergies) or the drops (I know the literature says you could have headaches the first few days)...It will be interesting to see what others say. It is exciting to have that "loading weight" off!
