Phase 2 for me again

Well... after NOT really stabalizing I am back on phase 2 up 10 pounds from LDW. And it is harder each time I go on this phase. I guess my commitment is less because I am not as big as I was when I started on this journey, but also the newness of the program has worn off. So, I was doing well on this round, down the 10 pounds I had gained, and then I ran out of drops. I ordered another bottle, but had to do a 2 day planned interuption. Let me tell you... I have been super hungry all week. I went back on the drops on Monday 4/26 and it is all I can do not to eat each day. I have "cheated" 3 out of 4 days this week. Not big, but peanut butter, chips and nuts and a few pieces of chocolate! Why am I so hungry??? My drops are from a differnt eBay seller, they are Mediral (Detox). The other time when I used this brand, I had the weight loss version and they were fine... I am going out of town next weekend and want to be off by Saturday, so I only have about 6 more drop days anyway, I will try to suffer it out, but this is tough! Wish me luck!

The trouble with Phase 3 aka Stabalization

So, I have been on Phase 3 for about 6 weeks now and FINALLY starting to stabalize. I have had slow gains almost daily. It has been very frustrating and I am now almost 7 pounds above LDW. But the good news is, that I think I have figured it out. I need to eat more! More fat, More protein and more of everything. I posted my menu and my struggles on a yahoo message board and someone added up my calories and told me to eat more. Sounds crazy, but I doubled my calories to about 2000 a day, and have been stable since! What a concept! I had read in Dr. S's book that the biggest problem people have in maintenence is not eating enough, but didn't think that applied to me... wow! HHCG ROCKS!

Hcg update, Round 2 Phase 2 Complete!

Just wanted to post a final update on the completion of Round 2 Phase 2. I have really done well this round, actually my daily weight loss is around .64 pounds per day and I was below .5 per day on round 2 (maybe beacause that round lasted longer?). Anyway, I have lost more than I expected this time, with 31 VLCD's I am down to 152.2 as of this morning. Yesterday was 151, so hoping to see that number again tomorrow! Today is my 2nd day off the drops but still on VLCD and I will start into Phase 3 tomorrow. I am sooooooo looking forward to eating a variety of food, but I have to say I am extremely pleased with my weight loss. I started this on Aug. 22, 2009 weighing 206 (after loading) and as of today, Feb. 2nd, 2010 I have disposed of 54 POUNDS! If someone would have told me that a year ago, I would have laughed and said, Yeah... maybe if I get seriously ill or something. I thank God that I picked up Kevin Tredue's book at a yard sale for 25 cents, last summer. That book started my 3 months of reseach which lead me to the homeopathic version of hCG. It works. I am living proof! I recommend it to anyone that is tired of diets that don't work. It is not a magic solution, it is still hard and you MUST follow Dr. Simeon's protocol to a "T", to get results, but trust me when I say, if you try this you will not be sorry. And, it is one of the cheapest diets I have ever tried! I paid around 37$ for my drops at changesforlife.com and have heard they are even cheaper on eBay. So, if you are thinking about doing this, do your research, make the commitment, and go for it! Good Luck!

Losing again and loving it!

I have had a successful re-entry into phase 2 and am now happy to report the pounds a dropping again! I stopped my first round 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, so I was on phase 3 for 3 weeks and started into phase 4 and stayed there until Jan. 4th. I really loved phase 3 & 4. I was able to eat reasonably and not have huge gains. If I did gain, I would just cut back the next day and I would be back down. I stayed within my 2 pound last dose weight without doing a steak or an apple day. I only gained 4 pounds on my 2 days of loading for this round and have lost 7 pounds in 10 days. This is not as much as the first round, but where else can you lost like this (besides the Biggest Loser TV show).
I weighed in at 160.6 this morning, and am looking forward to seeing the 150s in the near future! HCG is the answer to anyone looking for lasting weight loss! Just ask me if you have any questions and trust the protocol!
