Closing in on Phase 3

I am just a few days from ending r1 ph2, and I find that the weight is beginning to go down slower. It's cool though because I don't think without being on the protocol I would be at this point of any diet this quickly. A lot of the haters are beginning to take notice and are asking what diet am I on? I tell them all the same thing, "I am not on any one's diet, I have had a lifestyle change!" They all give me the same reaction as though I am crazy and they just keep walking. I think I will keep the protocol under wraps until I am down about 75lbs and then it will be very noticeable on me. I was considering starting a my space page to document my progress and give a link to the blog so that if there's any others out there that my want to follow my lead they will be more than welcomed and I'm pretty sure the folks at DD.ca won't mind the little extra publicity. I have tried many different diets and have had minor success on a few but by far the HCG protocol is the best lifestyle change that I have ever made! As I put round 1 phase 2 to a close I am starting to feel more energy and before the protocol I used to take energy pills and now I feel as I don't need them. The main thing is that I want to thank the people at DD.ca for giving me my life back. I think that is all for now, and as always thanks for reading my blog!

Sick and Stalled

I apologize for all that are following my progress and haven't heard from me! I was sick with the flu and I noticed while I was sick my weight had stalled. But rest assure Poppa Grande is back in the saddle. I am better now and my weight as of this morning was 386lbs! I still have 5 more days before round 1 phase 2 ends for me, s I do believe that even though it is 10 more pounds I can still achieve my second goal weight. I was looking at an email that DD had sent me the other day and it said that as a whole all of the challengers have lost an astounding 411lbs!! I don't know if there's any type of prize for being DD biggest loser but even if not what they are giving back to me is priceless.

I was curious about my deflating size and went to some old clothes I had packed up because I was too big to wear them and I was amazed that clothes that have not seen the light of day in months and some a couple of years I am able to once again fit into. My current clothes are beginning to look big on me and I think before the summer is out I will need to invest in some more clothes ... thank god for the old smaller size fat clothes or I'd be getting a new wardrobe after every round of phase 2. Well I think that will be all for now, please check back in a couple days and I will update you on the progress of ending r1ph2. Oh yes and as always ... Thank you for reading my post!

The 2nd goal is in site!

I see my goal of 375lbs being very attainable within the next 10 - 14 days. Since my last post I have come down to 389lbs. I know that doesn't seem like much but for me it's a big accomplishment. I see and feel that the 400lbs mark is getting further and further away in my rear view mirror. I want to have at least reached my goal by the time I go into R1ph3. which will be in the next 15 days when I am scheduled to begin. For the first time in 5 years I can go to the movies without pulling up the arm rest on the stadium seats. That my be trivial but to me it's means a lot. Now back to the HATERS! I was so excited about my new weight loss I told everyone ... even the HATERS. All they could muster up to say was that it was all water weight. I don't think so! I am now able to get into clothes I had since W. Bush's 1st term. But that's all good though. I just wonder what will they say when I go into R2 of the protocol. Well that's enough for now, I want to thank you for reading my post.

First goal has been reached!!

Today when I weighed myself to my surprise after about a stall of a few days I realized that I am under the 400lb mark now ... 396lb!! I know that I still have a long way to go but, from someone that at my heaviest was 456lbs, I think that is an accomplishment. My next goal is 375lbs! I think that is a goal that is not too large nor too small. I am shooting for 300lbs by Christmas and hopefully my goal weight by next May. I don't have too much to say but I hope that I don't go through another stall! Thank you for reading my post and until next time ... Peace

Biggest Loser Challenge

There was an interesting conversation at work today, a couple of people are beginning to notice that I have fallen off a little so there was a challenge issued among my fellow co-workers. I have only told a select few about me being in the HCG challenge but some of the haters have began a Biggest Loser Challenge. I personally think I have an unfair advantage but several people are wanting me to enter. I may just to shed light to the protocol. Many of my haters are probably thinking that I have shed off the the 20lb water weight that people usually lose initially, but they just don't know that I am part of a growing consciousness that in my opinion will shed light to the growing obesity problem in this country. Now there's really no prize except for bragging rights and recognition at the next company town hall meeting, but I think if I do enter and people that know me now see what the protocol has done for me, there will be others to board the band wagon.I still have not tipped beyond that 400lb mark yet but I am closer to putting it in my rear view mirror. Well that is all I have to say today and thank you for your support!

Thomas "Poppa Grande" Good

Energy Level going up

I must admit that before I began this protocol I was barely dragging through the day. Now that my body is beginning to burn more body, mainly belly fat I am feeling like I did about 5 years ago before I became a diabetic. I am most thankful to the people at drug delivery and I will proud wear the HCG badge with honor. Now those same haters that I used to have come to me and ask am I on a diet or something. I always tell them the same thing, "or something." I let them know that I am not on a diet because they do not work. I let them know that I have went through a life style change. Those same people still look at me like I am the crazy one. But no one inquires about the weight loss cure. But I think they see that the protocol is true. So far I have been in phase 2 for two weeks and have dropped 15 pounds. I am ready to get under the 400 pound mark. that is my next hurdle. Well till next time, thank you for reading my blog.
