Best wishes to Pruney

So sorry to hear you are having some health issues, Pruney. I think you have to feel good to maintain enough stamina to stick with this program. I hope you are feeling better very soon. You have done so well, I know you can get back to it when you recover. Tell that Doctor Man to take good care of you! Yo Mama

50 Pounds

Today marks an important milestone in my weight loss journey. I have lost a total of 50 pounds. Yippiee!!!

It is hard to believe that if I were to lug around a 50 lb. sack of potatoes It would be the same as if I were still at my starting weight. I can't even imagine the wear and tear that must have been taking on my poor body.

I have been doing great on this round. Loosing about a pound a day. I am on my 12th VLC day today. In the past rounds, I had slowed down to about half a pound a day by this point but I'm still going strong.

I have really been concentrating on keeping my water intake up as much as possible. I know that this has helped me this round.

I'm sorry that I have not been blogging much this week. I've been pretty busy and just have not had the time.

I have received word that Pruney is taking a break from the diet. She is going through a very stressful time right now and that coupled with some stomach ailments has caused her to stop for now. She tells me that she is working on maintaining her current weight. Best wishes go out to her.

That is all for now. I hope the picture of the taters dosen't give anyone any crazy ideas that they will later live to regret.

Remember, if it is not on the list the answer is NO.

Yo Mama is off to a good start

Hey Kooties! Where did everyone go? Last week we were all writing like crazy and then it all quit at the weekend. I just wanted to share my successful start of round 2. Yesterday was the first day after the gorge and I dropped 2 pounds. Another 2 disappeared today. Yippee! I think I am gong to do better this time, although I am very proud of my success last round. I have done a lot of reading since then, and I think I understand the process better. This time I plan to drink a lot more water (even though I had about 2 litres a day last time). I am not going to mix my vegetables, and if I have fish for lunch I will have chicken for dinner rather than repeating the same thing. I ate lots of apples last time and seemed to do well with them. Osbert & Pruney, I am interested to hear how some of your modifications are working out. Yours for a skinnier, healthier bod. Yo Mama

The weekend is here

Dearest Kooties,

I am happy to report that here in the North, the sun is shining and It is going to be a lovely day.

I was blessed to have 2.2 pounds taken by the fat goblins overnight. That takes me down to an even 215. A total of 43 pounds lost thanks to the hCG.

I adjusted my dosage yesterday. I have increased it to 175 i.u. and think that it may have contributed to my success yesterday. I was less hungry and I lost weight. For dinner yesterday I had a nice piece of fillet minion and asparagus. It was quite tasty.

I am very excited about the "Body By Kootie" TM fashion line that was announced earlier today. I believe that it will be a huge success. I hope to meet with executives at Nordstrom, Dillards, and Wal-Mart sometime in the near future to see if they would like to carry the line. I had thought about trying to do it as an independant distributorship but I just don't think that I will be able to handle the demand.

Tonight, we are going over to some friends for dinner. I think that it is not going to be fun at all for me. Oh well, I will survive.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Nothing Lost Nothing Gained

Hello and Good Morning,

The "Lord" giveth and the "Lord" taketh and sometime he does nothin... I got nothin...

I didn't loose one single ounce nor did I gain... Very upsetting for Mrs Pruney this morning so I am flying around this house on my broom.. Yes ...Broom..

I had a good day yesterday which makes me very concerned. I did not cheat what so ever.... I was perfect... Getting up this morning and see this reading on the scale is very disturbing. I wonder is the scale is broke? I think I will go buy 3 new scales today to make sure I am getting a correct reading.. I would think one of them would read a pound down....

As you know we have a pool... I have noticed that in the past I am able to swim in the deep end without treading water... I thought maybe Bruce added enormous amounts of salt to the water to keep us afloat.. It never occurred to me that it was my fat body keep me a float. Sooooooooo today we are going fishing and I am going to jump in the water and hope I sink... I think this would be a great way to see if I lost today or not... Its time to test the waters...

That is all from Mrs Pruney today...

If you don't hear from me tomorrow you will know that I am at the bottom of Quail and things are all good.. I will make sure Bruce puts a hook in my mouth to pull me out should I sink... Nothing like catching a WHALE right???

Yo Mama.... Have a nice two days at pigging out... I do not envy you... Eat that Bread that your missing... To bad Bruce isn't there to bake for you... Keep us posted as to how your doing. I will send you my picture of the Beached Whale if you need it..

For Now.... Princess Pruney

Remember.... Its not what we get off during the diet, but what we keep off after we are done..
We must change our eating habits or we will all be fat again...

Hello my Kootie friends. Tomorrow is a big day for me - the first day of shots for my second round and the greatly anticipated two days of feasting and stuffing. I'm afraid I might gain some weight, but I know it is necessary so I will give it my best! (oink oink)

Congratulations Pruney for your jumbo drop. Your scales were just playing tricks on you yesterday. Hopefully now you have motivation to keep going. I know I am very thrilled every time I look down where blubbery belly used to be and I can actually see a waistline. Already! I can just imagine how good you look since you have lost much more than me. You can use your gambling winnings to go buy smaller clothes!

Kootie - you are probably in the same boat. You will most likely see a huge drop in the next few days, too. I just hope everyone is over their headaches and can get back to business as usual.

I will keep you posted on how I am doing - but don't be surprised if I don't tell you how much weight I put on this weekend. I am mostly excited to get back to not needing to figure out what to eat for the next 23 days - there just aren't many choices and I like it that way!

Wishing you all a good weekend. Yo Mama

No progress

Hello Kooties...

I would like to congratulate the Princess on her amazing 3 pounds and her winnings in the city of sin.

I did not loose any weight today. I think that I had too much salt on my cucumbers for dinner. In times past, not loosing would have upset me greatly but not this time. I have learned that sometimes you don't loose every day. On the days that you don't loose, you usually make up for it in the next couple of days with a bigger loss than normal.

I have received the many, many requests from the women Kooties out there about the t-shirt design. They want something "sexy". I have contacted Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, Versace and Stella McCartney to see if they would like to design something for the "2009 Kootie Fashon Line". I have not received any responses yet but I am hopeful that they will want to get on board. I will keep you posted.

Here is wishing everyone a successful hCG day!

Remember... If it's not on the list... The answer is NO!

Osbert

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Kootie Friends and Family,

Today, I lost 3 pounds.. Yes, you read it right 3 pounds...

I was very good yesterday. I drank more water and cut out the cauliflower.

I am feeling really good. I am not getting hungry much but find I want to nibble on a chip or two, however they are not on the list..

I keep my mind off eating by sewing and gambling. I sewed most of the day yesterday until my eye were no longer able to see the needle so I hopped in the car by myself for a ride down the road. I have many many friends who live in Mesquite.. I thought if I went and visited with them it would help get my mind off of wanting those chips.. I had a very good time and they gave me $100.00 for my efforts and good work on the diet. I gladly took it and ran..

Today is more of the same.. I am going to sew, but don't think I will go see my friends. Bruce might want to go so maybe I will tag along... He gets so jealous when our friends give me money and take his... LOL... By the way... He is a bit grumpy this morning bc be gained a pound.that

That is my story for today... I hope all Kootie memebers write on our Blog bc it really does keep you going..

Until Tomorrow,

Mrs Princess Pruney

*****Its not what we loose on the diet... Its what we keep off after we are done..

Something Goes Wrong..

Dear Members:

I have woken to an added few ounces... As you all well know its very upsetting to gain so early on.
I need my Kooties friends and Family's support today as I am down down down in the dumps.

I ate my normal stuff yesterday, but I did drink a little diet coke which will not happen anymore. I had some mixed Veggies with Cauliflower and Broc, so maybe it was that.. I will omit that now..
I also took some asprin for my headache which could be the problem. My headache seems to be gone so I shouldn't have to take that anymore... Thoughts are welcome.

I do not think my Dear Husband as added any fat to my coffee.. He was golfing so I was able to relax and not worry about him Sabotaging me.. My eyes are on him at all times... He can be a snake in the grass..

Congrat!!!!!!!!! to Osbert G Kootie for his postal experience.. I have not experienced that sort of up lift... Way to go... I love you and wish you all the best..

My energy is over the top.. Did not sleep well last night at all.. Also I am back to being cold all the time.. Nothing new...

I will push on... I am down, but realize I will have many days of this... Bouncing around....

I do like the new shirts, but would ask that we have a girl shirt.... I don't wear mens shirt so would it be possible to maybe get one that is more fitting to show off my sexy curves? I do have them now you know..... Yo Mama has complained about wearing mens shirts so maybe we better get girl shirts... More fitting.. colored ones would be fun as well..

I will check in tomorrow.. Not such good news for me today but will push on..

Forever Thin

Going Postal

Hello Kooties....

I am down 3 more pounds today. That is a total of six this round. I'm back to below my last injection weight from last round. Feeling pretty good about that.

I went to the post office today to pick up my mail. When you do this, you have to show your ID. I gave the post office employee my drivers license. She looked at my license photo and then at me and then checked the photo two more times. Finally, she said "My gosh! You've lost a lot of weight haven't you?" I replied "Yes I have!" I had not looked at my drivers license photo for quite some time and I must say, there is quite a difference. Anyway... It made me feel good to have a stranger notice that I'd lost weight.

I have been a little bit hungrier today that I was yesterday but I think it is more cravings than actual hunger. I've been able to drink lots and lots of water today which is good.

Yesterday, I had quite a headache and I did not sleep well at all. My headache is almost gone but I think I will have another restless night - lots of energy right now.

That is all for now.

Remember... If it's not on the list the answer is NO!

Hello from Yo Mama

Hello from Yo Mama! I hope my fellow Kootie buddies realize how much the things you share are helping me with my fight to lose weight. I still can’t believe how a skinny girl turned into a great big fluffy grandma! I tried to convince myself that grandmas are supposed to be soft and cuddly, but in reality it is no fun struggling to get up and down from playing on the floor, or to try and hide those annoying toots that sneak out after disturbing all that natural gas I’ve been storing! I also hate shopping for clothes – probably because I can’t believe I have to buy sizes in the double digits. I am tired of wearing men’s tee shirts and sweat pants. It has taken a lot of mental preparation to muster up enough determination to stick with a diet longer than two weeks (yes, I’ve tried them all), but I am very excited about my success during the first round of HCG and I am really looking forward to doing it again.

I was very comfortable during the 500 calorie phase (the fewer choices the better), and had lots of concern about adding starches. I’ve been amazed at the variety of things I have been able to eat while maintaining my loss. We went to a nice restaurant for our 13th wedding anniversary where I ate prime rib, salad, and half a baked potato with both butter and sour cream on it! Yummy! I swore off desserts a long time ago, so sweets are really not a temptation, but I am very afraid of bread. Oh yes, the bread! I know it is my demon. One day I had a piece of toast, but I am still very afraid of the bread. Good thing Bruce the Baker is several hours away!

I am also worried about my loading days next week. I should have really stuffed myself the first time, but I just wasn’t hungry, so that part was difficult. Reading that you guys feel it isn’t as much fun as you thought, or that you couldn’t stand all that sweet stuff makes me worry what I will do. Of course, I can always eat bread – oh yes, the bread! Maybe that is something to look forward too after all.

I am so proud of you, Kootie and Pruney. You are both doing so great! Just remember all those people who diet for months and even years before reaching the point you are at right now, and most of them will gain it all back! With the HCG program, we should not have to worry about getting fat again once we learn to eat properly. Besides that, we don’t have to do strenuous exercises and we won’t have to worry about surgery cuz we won’t have left over flab!

Thanks for all the encouragement and good advice.
Yo Mama

Welcome Yo Mama.

Dear Kootie Members.... I would like to take some time to welcome a new member "Yo Mama"
We are very happy you have come aboard our ship... Please keep us informed as to how you are doing...

I doing very well thank you... I lost 2lbs today which brings me to a total of 5lbs this round.

I think knocking the shot down to 155 has really helped.. I am finding it hard to eat anything. I sort of forced fed myself yesterday.. Maybe I will go to the doctor today and ask for a feed tub.. It would be much easier since I really do hate cooking this food... I am just not sure about the tub hanging out my nose for the next 20 days.. I am finding it hard to even drink water...

Last night I had a headach as well as this morning, but I know this will pass in about 2 more days or less. I didn't sleep so good last night bc I have a lot of energy, but again my body will adjust.

I am very please with the progress so far... I am happy with what I have lost so far. I feel some people on the diet have to high of expectations... If I can get 10 lbs off this round and maintain it then I feel very good about myself.. Remember Kootie friends.. Its not what you get off during the rounds its what you keep off after you go off.. Very important..

Lets all work together on never wanting sugar or bad carbs... They make you fat..

Until Tomorrow..

Mrs Princess Pruney

A Good Day

Good morning my Dear Brothers and Sisters.....

I am happy to announce that I lost 3 lbs this morning...

I was never hungry yesterday at all but left like I should try and eat a little bit of something. I ate Strawberry's, Orange, and a little cooked chicken.. Nothing more.

I think I was a little weak from the day before with my bout with the runs.... I did not get dressed all day and took a very long nap.. I am wondering if sleeping for the next 23 days might be a good thing... If they offered a sedative I would sleep my way through all this... I would like to be put in a coma...

Osbert G Kootie is right about the "war zone" I am going to be facing.... My Dear Sweet Husband is going to Sabotage my efforts... This morning he gave me my morning coffee with alot of cream in it.. Yes Cream!!!!!!!!!! He has also had the bread books out so I fear he is going to make hot bread today.. Last night he wanted puddings.. Fear not Kootie friends... I am on to his plan..
I will keep you posted as to his plans and how I handle this problem..

As for the Gravy..... I didn't like the gravy... It had to much butter for me... It smelled like that horrible chicken I made... Yes... I admit I didn't like the gravy... Now its time for you to admit the chicken sucked... Bruce finally did... My feelings will not be hurt bc I know the dinner wasn't good.. Just ask Noah.... He didn't like it either... LOL

Will keep you posted on being Sabotaged by the Boner..

Here we go again

Today is the first day on the VLCD for this round. I am not hungry at all. I sat in a car for over five hours today and all I ate was a tiny piece of beef jerky and a couple of bottles of water. I think that this is quite an accomplishment since road trips and snacking have always been synonymous in my book.

I have had to force myself to eat something tonight. I baked a piece of chicken and had a few bites along with an orange. I really wasn't hungry but I knew that I needed to eat something.

The only thing that I am craving right now is some of the very delicious gravy that I made over this past weekend when I was doing my load days. It was sooooooo good! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

I have received reports that Princess Pruny is struggling. Lets all keep her in our prayers. She is living in the middle of a war zone. Fresh bread is being baked non-stop at her house. The baker just happens to be a former Kootie Clinic patient too... Oh how quickly they forget.

That is all for now.

Remember... If it is not on the list, the answer is NO!

Princess Gorges

Dear Friends and Family,,

It is time for the 3 round of the HCG diet... I have to admit I have not been looking forward to this round. It seems to me that the more rounds you do the harder it gets.

I started the HCG diet at 203... I ended the last round at 177 and today with the gorge I am starting the 3rd round at 179.. I am only 2 pounds over the last round.. I think that is really good.

I did have a very hard time with gorge this time... Its very hard to eat foods that your really not eating anymore.. I don't eat much or any sugar and I went crazy with the sugar.. It didn't agree with me at all. I am not sure what went wrong this time but I just could not eat... I did get very bad gas and diahrea.. I am not sure if its something I ate or if I have a little bug, but I was miserable yesterday.. I didn't eat much.. I cooked Fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes and Rob made the gravy.. I thought the whole meal was terrible so either the HCG has kicked in or I have a bug.. Nevertheless I worry I may suffer in the few days and wish I had that Chicken dinner and even the gravy.

I am going to work very hard this round... I will not cheat..

Comments for encourment are welcome..

Time to start a new round

Hello Kootie Fans... It is time to get you updated on my HCG weight loss progress. I am nearing the end of my two day gorge. I am really looking forward to getting back on the program.

This will be the start of my third 23 day round of the HCG protocol. So far I have lost a total of 40 pounds. My starting weight was 258 and I ended my last round at 218. I have put back on about 5 pounds during the past six weeks of maintenence. My goal for this round will be to get down close to 200.

Gorging has not been as fun as I thought it would be. I can tell that my tastes, wants, needs and desires regarding food have definatly changed.

I have had numerous friends and acquantances that have tried the HCG protocol over the past couple of months and have been very successful. I have been able to track down some very reliable sources for the HCG as well as mixing and dosing supplies and have been able to help get several people started on the protocol.

This round, I am dosing at 150 IU. Previously, I had been doing 200. I'll keep you posted on how it is going and if I make any dose adjustments.

Please feel free to post any comments, questions or suggestions regarding the diet. I'd love to hear from you.

Remember... If it is not on the list, the answer is NO!
