Day 10: 180.4
Day 11: 179.8
Day 12: 178.8
Day 13-16: ? Christmas celebrations
Day 17: 179.6
Day 18: 178.8
Day 19: 177.6
Day 20: 177.4
Day 21: 176
Day 22: 175.6
Day 23: 175.4
Day 24: 174.8
Day 25: 175.0
Day 26: 175.8
Day 27: 174.8
Day 28: 175.0
Day 29: 174.6
Day 30: 173.8
Day 31: 174.0
Day 32: ?
Day 33: 173.0
Day 34: 172.8
Day 35: 174.8
Day 36: 173.2
Day 37: 172.6
Day 38: 170.4
Day 39: 169.8
Day 40: 168.6
Day 41: 168.1
Day 42: 167.0

The stats are in- that's 22 pounds lost in 42 days. At first I didn't want to bother with keeping a log of my weight loss, but now I am so glad I did. Per the instruction manual,  I start my second round in 6 weeks (March 5th) three weeks of the maintenance phase,  3 weeks of nothing at all, then the 3 days of the gorge phase. I am so tempted to keep going with the drops, but I know if I do that then I run the risk of becoming immune to them and never being able to lose the rest of the weight. I've heard that people still lose weight even after stopping the drops- I am very interested to see if that happens to me! If not, then another 42 day cycle will bring me almost to my goal weight of 125 lbs. I will keep everyone updated.
Stay tuned! :)
