I'm going on a diet.

I've tried a great deal of diets. Atkins, slim fast, watching what I eat, super low calorie, all with and without additional exercise. I've played Dance Dance Revolution until I burned 1000 calories a day. In 6th grade, I shot up to 200 pounds but hovered there. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted and didn't seem to gain anything. Until I moved out. I shot up to 265. Yuck. About the only things I haven't tried are eating disorders and HCG. And lets face it, I love food too much for eating disorders. So, I'm going to try my last ditch effort - HCG.

HCG stands for - Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Here's the wikipedia on it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_chorionic_gonadotropin

Don't worry, it's doctor prescribed and is garunteed not to mess with me in any weird ways. (It's a female pregnancy hormone.)

It's injection based; get to shoot it up every morning. And then there's a strict diet that goes along with it.

So, I decided to post this blog to update on my status and hopefully get some positive feedback to encourage me to continue! I'll be posting more details on various aspects of the diet as well as some before pictures. (I haven't started the diet yet.)

I currently weight 265ish. My desired weight is about 170. Average monthly weightloss on this diet - 20-30 pounds. Roughly a pound a day. So, please comment and keep reading for me making fun of myself as I hope to shed nearly 100 pounds.
