@greencateyes2 - FYI, in case you didn't have the problem - sometimes the Truvia (if you used it) can have a small laxative effect :( A little uncomfortable to have your stomach start the liquid grumble, but the Choc still tastes good!
Down is good, although I know how much we wish it would go down in larger clumps :). I hope you can get to 180's next week!! Wow 9 years of Hcg is mind boggling to me. You have great dedication! Are you planning on doing before/after pics/vlogs? Your cocoa sounds good. I put cocoa powder and saigon cinnamon in my coffee filter with my ground coffee and it flavors the coffee as it brews..very good! Very cool about your friend! It's people like you that I attribute my starting Hcg to. Thank you!!
@justgranny45 - Actually, it's 9 Rounds that I'm about to finish (not 9 years :) ) - I've only been at this a little over 2.5 years. Still a long time, but not as long as I was obese! Getting down to the end of this Round, and 5 shots left. 8 days to Go!
wow 3 years is a lot of dedication and motivation- the hot cocoa is a good idea- I have been adding a teaspoon of cocoa to coffee and then ice it for an iced coffee drink in the mornings- helps a little for the cravings- when I looked up the calories online it said unsweetened cocoa is 40 calories for 1 TBS- where did you get the 10 calories from?
@carissahcg - From the Hersheys cocoa box - also go to Hersheys online - it also says 10 calories per TBSP. Works for me - really helps on the cravings!
instead of truvia you may want to try 'it;s just like sugar' it is all natural, chicory root and it does not have that laxative effect. they make one that is for baking too that is like when we powder the truvia. I have been able to get it at Henry's. Wonderful news about your friend. I hope to hear you are in the 180's next time you vlog!!!
@Rich714252 - That's still a decent loss so far! I just had some of the Lemon truffles - a LOT more than I should have, but I didn't eat all of the lunch I should have - was visiting family at a hospital and ate on the road. Was craving - but just finished a 1.5 mile walk tonight. My energy levels are really low right now. Need to drink some water too.. I wish both of us luck! I'm hoping to crack the 190 barrier by next Sunday!
Made the hot choc. this evening by a fire outside. Enjoyed it very much thanks for telling me about it. 8-)
