Hit my Ultimate Goal

Its been a while since I have blogged & been on www.affordableHCGdiet.com so I thought it was time :)
I have been very busy @ work trying to get things done before I go on vacation.  I wanted to share with you that I began the HCG drops from affordablehcgdiet on March 19th, 2011.  My ultimate goal was to lose 40 pounds, but I didn't....I LOST 46.7 pounds in a lil over 3 months.  My starting weight was 186.5 & I now weigh 139.8.
Thanks for all the support from my friends & family!!!!

Soft Skin

I think as I get older I have more delayed reactions on things...lol
The other day my husband was like how is it that your entire body feels so soft?  Your skin is really really soft.  It took me awhile for the lightbulb to go off, but I was like oh yea I have been using the Bonita Inside & Out from http://www.AffordableHCGdiet.com/
I have also noticed in pictures there has been a glow to my face :)
I have been taking the vitamins & using the re-pear lotion for 2 weeks & it is noticeable...YAY for the compliments from my hubby :)
If you would like to know more about the vitamins you can go to affordablehcgdiet on facebook & read about them in the discussion section.  
Thanks for reading my Blog today!!!!

I must have lost more then weight lol

I haven't blogged in a while & I have been very busy @ work, but I wanted to share with you & http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/
I got a phone call today from Tricia Myerink that she reached her 1st goal & she wanted to call & personally thank me.  That made my day!!!!
My sister, Kathy & her husband Dave were home yesterday & they are both doing wonderful as well.  They have both lost over 20 pounds each.
My sister, Renae, is also doing great & when she talks about it I can hear the excitement in her voice & see the happiness in her eyes & her body language.
I even got a compliment from my 5 year old grandson <3
I have not been able to be on facebook lately, due to the busy days right now & I have a lot of reading to do on affordablehcgdiet :)
I am now on day 68 & have lost a total of 40.1 pounds....I have 6.4 to go before I go to phase 2 & I can't wait to start the maintenance drops that affordablehcgdiet has now because I absolutely love MY DROPS!!!
Now, the reason I named my blog, "I must have lost more then weight lol." The reason is I just bought my hubby a Harley Davidson for Father's Day...I was very nervous @ first & sort of queasy when I went & purchased it! That's what my title is all about lol
But as the days get closer to him picking up his bike, I am getting more excited because I can't wait to wrap my arms around him & ride with him....through town...lol...getting on the highway might take me a little longer to get excited about :)
Thanks for reading my Blog today & Have a GREAT Memorial Weekend!!

B4 & After Pic

I lost 38.9 pounds & went from a size 16 to a Junior 13 when I went to  http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/

I was very intrigued when I was on facebook & read one of my friends statuses about how much she had lost & how good she felt so I messaged her. She told me about the above website & said they were on facebook (affordablehcgdiet.com).  I read all about it & even did some facebook creeping :) lol.  Thats all it took for me!! I jumped on board & have not looked back until today when I saw this picture of me side by side.  I didn't expect to be so overwhelmed with happiness & tears.  I actually yelled at my hubby & daughter, "COME LOOK AT THIS!!! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!!!"  I am so glad I made the decision to get healthier, more energetic, & happier.  Being skinnier doesn't hurt either, but I have realized I am more conscious of what I eat & drink & I am lovin' it!  Thanks to all of you that post Blogs on the AffordableHCGdiet website & to those of you who post comments, recipes, triumphs, struggles, questions, & answers on affordablehcgdiet facebook page.  I couldn't have got this far without ALL of you :)

Dinner Tonight

I am going to dinner with my youngest daughter & yes I am going to eat a pasta dish.  Why? Because I deserve it!! I have been on this diet with AffordableHCGdiet.com since March 19th of this year & I have lost 38.9 pounds :)  I didn't do my measurements, but so wish I would have.  I was a size 16 & now I can get into Junior 13's.  I have 7.6 more pounds to lose before I reach my ultimate goal & I could not have done it without my family & the support from facebook friends on affordablehcgdiet.com 
For those of you who are skeptical of diets, any diets I would suggest you go to the above mentioned site & read about it.  It is only a 21 day program unless you want to lose more & LOVE it like I do!! 
I am happier, healthier, & READY for SUMMER!!!!!!! & I can't wait to go shopping for that new bathing suit :) YAY!!!!!
Thanks for reading my Blog today <3 Lori

I am back :)

Hello my fellow bloggers, friends & family @ AffordableHCGdiet.com ,  I just got back from traveling in a semi with my hubby with just a cooler to keep food in.  Before i left I cooked up some chicken & veggies for our trip to the West Coast.  I was unable to prepare food for the trip back to South Dakota so it was quite challenging to keep on track.  You wouldn't beleive the signs for FOOD on the billboards & then as you got closer to the West Coast there were even more signs for the LapBand Surgery.  I smiled each time I seen a surgical sign for I knew I made the smartest & best decision I could doing the HCG Drops from AffordableHCGdrops.com. The day i decided to do the drops was also the day that I said to myself I only have to gain 4 more pounds & then I am eligible for the lapband surgery.....It took about 5 minutes for me to say to myself...what are you thinking???? How sick was I to tell myself to gain more weight to have surgery?????  I cried for awhile & then went to facebook to a site that kept calling me back to it (affordablehcgdiet) & I couldn't be happier. 
So, as I know some of you are waiting to know if I gained, maintained, or lost while traveling.  I am happy to report that I LOST .4 pounds.  The key to my success for a weight loss was drinking all of my water & eating an apple each night before bed.  I had many challenges & temptations as I watched my hubby eat fast food, candy, & drink sodas.  I just kept seeing myself on our boat on the river LOOKIN' GOOD :)
I cannot express enough how I am amazed that I have such willpower, but after seeing the surgical signs it is even easier for me. 
Thank you for reading my Blog today & Have a wonderful weekend!

Dieting & Traveling

I will be going on a trip with my husband in his Semi.  I will probably drive him nuts when I need to use the restroom more then he is use to stopping for lol.  I have prepared myself the best I could while I travel & to stay on track of my diet.  I made grissini breadsticks & tortilla chips, bought canned tuna with a peel off top, fruit, leaf lettuce, water, green tea bags, & of course stevia for my coffee.  He doesn't have a refrigerator only a small cooler or I would take more! I am ready for this trip with him & it is my chance to hopefully get him to do this diet for @ least 21 days.  If I can do it for 40+ days, it should be a breeze for him.
I will not have internet access very often while I am gone & I am sad about that because I go to facebook to affordablehcgdiet everyday because I can see what others are having for dinner, get new recipes, &
there is always something new to learn everyday.  They are why I have been so successful in losing 34.1 pounds in 42 days :)
I will also have some reading to catch up on @ http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ with all the new Blogs!
Enjoy this Beautiful day & thanks for reading my Blog <3

Didn't realize how emotionaI today was going to be today

 Despite my last blog, I have decided to continue on Phase 2 until I reach my ULTIMATE goal of 140 pounds (less 14 pounds from now).  The reason I decided to continue is because I have never felt so good in a long time & I figured no time is better then NOW to stick to what I am doing because it is working so well.
I took my dog for a walk & I am so glad I did.  A neighbor stopped to talk to me & told me I look "Amazing".  What a great compliment & it was very much appreciated.  She asked me what I was doing & I told her about AffordableHCGdiet & she can go to my facebook & check it out & I would also help her with any questions she had.  The conversation we had brought tears to my eyes because I realized that what I have accomplished inspires others as well as inspired me to be a better person.  I love talking about affordablehcgdiet because I am living proof that it works!!
I also got a facebook chat from someone today that told me I was inspirational & they would have given up a long time ago if it wasn't for me.  That was such a heartwarming feeling <3
Who would have thought that I, Lori Goodbeau, would be thought of as inspirational.  I have a lot of my dad's characteristics and I come off very gruff & sometimes by the look on my face I am perceived as looking bothered or unhappy.  My dad was not an unhappy person & until now I didn't realize he is where I get my dedication from.  Whatever he put his mind to he was dedicated..."Thank you daddy for such a great trait!" I miss you!!
AND Thank you Glee & Peggy for making my day even more special <3
Thanks for reading my Blog today & don't forget if you want to hear other Blogs of people that are doing the same plan as I am go to http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ & go to Blogs on the lefthandside.  You will be glad you did!

Phase 3

Today is my last day of  Phase 2.  My beginning weight is 154.6! I will definately be keeping a food journal during Phase 3, too.  Because I definately need to keep my ultimate goal of  -46.5 pounds in mind.  I am hoping that my dedication to Phase 2 comes into play in Phase 3. I will be going to http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ & reading about Phase 3 until it is embedded in my brain....lol...A big HUG & THANK YOU to all of you on facebook @ affordablehcgdiet for helping me reach my 1st goal of a weightloss of 30 pounds (really 31.9) in only 6 weeks!!!!!! I couldn't have done it without all of your positive feedback & inspirations & of course your BLOGS!!!!!
Have a GREAT Weekend & thanks for reading my Blog today <3

I look amazing!

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I thought to myself....I looked amazing and it wasn't that long ago that I didn't have anything to wear because all my clothes were getting too small.  I realized that in March of this year that I made the BEST decision ever by reading comments from people I didn't even know on facebook (affordablehcgdiet)!!  I decided to do some further reading @ http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ & now I feel amazing & have got a lot of compliments in the last few days.  I started @ 186.5 on March 19th, 2011 & this morning I weighed in @ 155.2.  I cannot believe that in such a short time I have lost 31.3 pounds.  I was skeptical at first that it was not possible to be down 6 pant sizes in just 6 weeks so I followed the diet 99.9 % & I am now a believer. I have some family & friends that are now doing the HCG drops & they too are losing the weight & feeling fantastic.  They are all going through the same things I went through @ first & I am glad that affordablehcgdiet can help them & I can too & I wish them all the success in their weight loss goal <3

Should I or Should I not?

Well, I need to decide if I want to continue on Phase 2 until I reach my 1st goal : weight loss of 40 pounds (only have 9 more to lose) or do I go on to Phase 3???  I have been strong for 37 days & have not cheated, yet! & for that I am proud of myself,  but how much longer can I go is the question I am asking myself.  I love going to affordablehcgdiet on facebook because everyone is different w/ how long they do it & seem to all be very successful in different situations.  I am going on the truck with my husband for a round trip to Calif & back so can I stick to the protocol???? I have to know what I am going to do Saturday morning for Friday will be my 6 weeks of doing the HCG Drops.  I LOVE my drops...I would miss them LOL.  I am going to miss reading the other Blogs on http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ while I am traveling (won't get internet very much) :(  I guess I will let you all know Saturday what I decided to do!
Thanks for visiting my blog today <3

I will look further for pics of me alone so that I can post them later, but I wanted to get some up now so that others can view my results :) I have been on this diet http://www.afforddablehcgdiet.com/ since March 19th, 2011 & have lost 30 pounds

I am pleased to say that I fought off temptation today. I didn't realize that I would have so much willpower.  I even drank an extra liter of water just in case I gave in.  This is by far the BEST diet EVER! I kept telling myself that I only have 5 days left of Phase 2 & 10 pounds to lose for my 1st goal of losing 40 pounds AND I have not cheated yet.  I amazed myself once again & you know, it feels GREAT!! My youngest daughter said to me, "But it will be all worth it when you have reached your goal."  I can't believe that I started this diet w/ http://www.affordablehcgdiet.com/ 5 weeks ago AND I am so grateful that I did.  Everyday I go to their facebook site (affordableHCGdiet) to see other successes, tips, humor, recipes, & support...thank you :)
Thanks for reading my Blog today...Hope you had a very blessed Easter!

TOM on Easter weekend! Really?

Well, I expected some visitors this weekend, but not TOM!  I didn't even realize TOM was coming to visit.  I usually have a headache 24 hours prior, tiredness, & grumpiness.  Hmmmm, what did I do different?  I began a diet from  http://www.affrodablehcgdiet.com/ :)  I am truly amazed by how good I feel during this TOM...this is truly something different for me & I am lovin' it!
It is day 34 for me & I have lost 30 pounds & don't miss them at all.
Thanks for reading my Blog & have a Blessed Easter!

I will be indulging in some sweet treats

Yep, I said it.  I will be indulging in some sweet treats. They are two 8 & 5 year olds & I think they are the sweetest treats I can indulge in on this Easter weekend :)  I will definately keep AffordaleHCGdiet on my mind, too for they are the reason that I am a happier & healthier person to be around & I can share my happiness with my friends & family.  It is going to be sweet indulgence on my part when I color Easter eggs with them, play outside (weather permitting) with them, & of course putting together their Easter baskets and the first thing I hear in the morning is, "Grandma! Grandma! The Easter Bunny came!!"  I so want to eat a chocolate bunny, but I know that there are too many friends on facebook @ AffordableHCGdiet that also want to & we all need to keep strong together & fight the temptations that will be put before us on Easter Sunday :)  Thanks for reading my Blog & Have A Very Happy Easter!!

Stay Strong

A lot of people have been asking me how I do it...How I stay so strong.  I think that when I started the HCG drops & seen on the 3rd day that I had lost 5.1 pounds that nothing was going to stop me until I reached my goal of losing 40 pounds.  As I stepped on the scale each morning & was losing, it got easier for me to stay focused & dedicated.  What do I tell people when they ask me how I do it, well one sentence says it all, "The HCG drops are AMAZING & I feel amazing!." I also love their page on facebook (affordablehcgdiet).  The other losers (lol) on there are very inspirational.  I can ask a question & they get back to me right away.  I am now on day 29 & have lost a total of 28.1 pounds AND I am down 6 pant sizes. I couldn't be a more happier and excited person right now!!
