HCG or BUST!!

So I have lost 15.4 lbs since I have started HCG. I find that eating shrimp is bomb diggity.
Today is day 13 and I have lost a little more than just 1 lb a day.
I did have a stall. I got on the scale today and It was great. 181.0 today

I'm just letting you all know that my stomach was the first problem area I have noticed change. My face and my thighs.
I went from a size 16 to a comfortable 13. And certain designs on 12's.

I went shopping and wanted new out fits like crazy. I kept thinking differently about that too. Delayed gratification.
I bought a size 12 pants for my new job which starts in 6 days. That is 6 lbs give or take. The way it's been going it looks like 6 more lbs. I'm at 181 right now that would lead me to 175.

Hcg has been a wonderful thing for me. I know for others it would be great for them as well.

I have stayed away from tempting foods. Hit and miss certain things in regards to foods. I've cheated and I'm still mentally in the game.

I am excited for my friend to do this with me.
I feel good and great off to get some oranges and shrimp, and zucchini. i loves me some zuch.!!!!
Then to the bank. I also need gas. ha ha ha all to do. Thank god I am getting closer to my goal weight. 181 wow. tomorrow ill wake up and see 180. fabulous.!!

Lesson in life today, materialistic things are not important.

I am interested in writing this topic because my friend is going through a hard time right now and she is stressing about all the THINGS she is losing.

Health, love, friendship and inner peace is what its all about.

Thats my rant.

Day 12 wow, i made it almost 2 weeks. I am feeling really good. I have felt like now this is a habit.
So it's easy now to resist food.
TOM is coming, and I know water weight is heavily upon me.
Usually TOM (time of month) I gain quite a bit of weight. For every gallon of water there is 8 lbs. !!
8 lbs!!!!! that is a lot. So just remember that.



Drink your water even though you don't like it. I love to put cucumbers in my water it tastes crisp.
lime juice, maybe some mint leaves. or just suck it up and drink your water.

2 liters a day is suffice, I drink 2-3 liters a day.

Women are usually more irregular in their weight loss, often not affecting any loss for 2 or 3 days, and then a sudden loss which reestablishes the normal average.
These fluctuations are due to variations in the retention and elimination of water which is more apparent in women than in men due to menstrual cycles.

I'm excited to weigh my self this morning.

So I am writing today being my 11 day anniversary. I'm pretty happy about this!!
Yesterday- and yes day 11 is a big deal for me because I have usually only made it about day 8 and quit. but i am very happy to know that i stuck with this for almost 2 weeks and I have about 2.5 to go or 3 I dunno.

So In lams term for HCG, or Perhaps my own HCg for dummies LOL here we go:

For 2 days while taking the drops 3 x a day you are to eat as much fat as humanly possibly.
Fat including but not limited to Mayonnaise, CHEESE!!, oils, I would highly recommend doughnuts.
Breads, Any type of butter, Fatty meats, Fatty everything. Go to sonic and pig out!!!
Sticking with fat vs. sugar on this loading will help you not be so hungry while you are doing the diet.

Take the drops at the same time each day if possible.
It will not mess up your period. Especially if you are doing the drops. DO NOT WORRY.
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT. Think about it if your body thinks it's pregnant how can you have a baby!!??

Then you have different phases of the protocol. P1 is loading P2 is 23-40 days of drops and 500 calories. P3 is The maintenance phase is the 3 week period after you finish your injections. Dr. Simeons outlines a few rules here:

•you must weigh yourself every day
•you must remain within 2 pounds of your last injections (but we do drops here) weight and,
•you cannot eat sugars and starches

Helpful Lists
Learn about fats and starches, so you know what to avoid.
For a complete list of the foods to eat, see the Phase 3 Food List at the top of this section

Low Carb Vegetables
This list is roughly arranged from lowest to highest carbohydrate counts, but all are non-starchy and generally low in carbohydrates. Exact carb count depends on serving size. Remember when counting carbs in vegetables that the fiber is not counted, and can be subtracted from the total.
•Sprouts (bean, alfalfa, etc.)
•Greens – lettuces, spinach, chard, etc.
•Hearty Greens - collards, mustard greens, kale, etc.
•Radicchio and endive count as greens
•Herbs - parsley, cilantro, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.
•Bok Choy
•Celery
•Radishes
•Sea Vegetables (Nori, etc)
•Cabbage (or sauerkraut)
•Mushrooms
•Jicama
•Avocado
•Cucumbers (or pickles without added sugars)
•Asparagus
•Green Beans and Wax Beans
•Broccoli
•Cauliflower
•Peppers
◦Green Bell Peppers
◦Red Bell Peppers
◦Jalapeno Peppers
•Summer Squash (including Zuchinni)
•Scallions or green onions
•Bamboo Shoots
•Leeks
•Brussels Sprouts
•Snow Peas (pods)
•Tomatoes
•Eggplant
•Artichoke Hearts
•Fennel
•Onions
•Okra
•Spaghetti Squash
•Celery Root (Celeriac)
•Carrots
•Turnip (see Carb Counts of Root Vegetables)
•Water Chestnuts
•Pumpkin
Starchy (High Carb) Vegetables
The main veggies to be avoided when reducing carbohydrates are the starchier vegetables:

•Beets
•Carrots on some diets, but they aren't as high as others in this group
•Corn
•Parsnips
•Peas
•Plantains
•Potatoes in all forms
•Winter Squashes (particularly acorn and butternut)
Eat Low Sugar Fruit 


so in easier terms:


P2 is the 500 calorie portion of the diet. It is the only part of the diet that involves hcg.

P3 is the first three weeks of NO "starches nd sugars," or, as Dr. S called them 40 years ago, "the so-called carbohydrates." Many people just follow Atkins induction for this phase.

P4 is where you can begin to introduce various carbs to the plan to see how your body responds, and develop lifetime maintenance eating. This can be much like following Atkins carb ladder, except there are really no "rules" about which order to add things in.

so there you go.

I am about ready to weigh myself, I have actually had a lot of physical activity yesterday. Bowling, hand ball with the kids. So I was a bit more active than I should have been.
It's ok. Monday I am going to start running again. I'm going to try and run 6 miles a day. I have to practice for a marathon.

I need you all to realize that HCg is not a quick fix. And you should not be doing this diet if you want to lose weight fast you need to do it to be healthy.
Once you figure that I am sure that you will succeed.


                                                             REMEMBER



                                                              HEALTH
                                                              _______
                                                              Quick weight loss

OH MY GOD!!! day ten huh??? wowo!!


So yesterday I went to Ross to try on size 12 pants and by god they fit!!

I feel really good today and that first week was hard, But I did it!!!
almost 2 weeks now.

So my sister suggested that I write kind of like a cheat sheet for HCG novices. When I get more time I will do that but for now
I will have to just write about how day 10 feels. TOM is on its way ( time of month)
And so i worry about the excess water weight being on my body.

I believe that there is something that needs to be brought to all of our attentions.
With all of this obsession with weight loss and how women should look I would like to take the time to write this.

You are beautiful regardless. Weight really has nothing to do with it. Beauty is laughter, and humor and intelligence. It's being unique and enjoying stupid crap. 

This bullshit society has put us through is awful. 


I'm pretty sure Kiera Knightly is only doing what society is telling her to do. That thin is in, and weather you want to be comfortable in your own skin is not where you should be.

People I'm telling you we are losing sight of what is important. And doing HCG has taught me that it's not the weight I need to lose. It's the health I need to gain.!!

I need to point out that extreme dieting is harmful and can take rule of our mentality. I have a friend who is anorexic and it's scary.

You have to understand this diet is for us to change our mentality of health and gorging out.

You also have to understand that anorexia is the same as obesity I do not care who you are. Eating disorders are all the same and are very unhealthy. I hope you are trying HCG to be healthy.

because all in all it is a cure for obesity.


thank you for reading-

Alrighty then,,,, day 9 huh, wow. Today I woke up in the best mood ever I feel fucking fantastic!!

So I weighed in at 184.4. So cheating was actually a 3 or four day ordeal.
Last night I took my cousins to FudRuckers, It's a burger joint and I ordered a side salad although I really wanted one of those veggie burgers and fries!! I knew it was not a good idea to do that. So I'm watching my cousins eat their food and I don't feel anything. Nothing at all. No jealousy or nothing. I remember back in the day I was really jealous of my friends and family eating whatever they wanted to eat.
I was down right saddened that I could not eat what they were eating. Did it make me depressed? YES!!



Depressed and hungry and sad. So Last night I just proved to myself that it doesn't have to be that way at all.
I was happy with my side salad. Although when they brought it to me, it was covered with cheese, croutons, a side of garlic bread, cabbage it was a nightmare salad for me. So I gave it to my boyfriend and he was happy to eat it. I mean it's a salad so still healthy, just not for me right now.

So I got smart. At this eatery they have tomatoes, three different kinds of lettuce, onion and salsa and pickles so you can put your burger together.

What I did was ask for a side plate and I made my own salad and I put salsa on it instead of dressing!!!
It was so delicious!!! I am so proud of myself.

That was a feat. So cheating set me back and mentally I was thinking fuck not again. And I didn't I learned and moved on!!
Any way thanks for reading, It's going grand and I am loving it!!!

Alrighty then, I suppose today is day 8 although its really hard to believe. My clothes are fitting nicely. Yesterday I was very very tired. I talked to my uncle and aunt about HCG and to my surprise my uncle said he was wanting to check it out.
Now you must already know that there will be certain people out there who will criticize you because you want to try this way of eating (us normal folk in the eatery world would call it  WOE - way of eating)
Now my theory on this is that some people think that THEY are right. And that you are just trying another stupid fad diet. Well your not. If your doing HCG your doing something way  more profound than "just a diet"
HCG is like this:

Rebooting your entire computer, Unplugging your alarm clock to it resets to 0, Waking up from a good nights rest and ready to tackle the day, Coming home from a really good vacation, I mean I can go on and on with the analogy's.

Fact is its more, much more than just a diet. There are people who I have met on the Low carb friends bulletin board who say that they would just do this diet because of how it makes them feel.
After some more research and some personal experience, I agree with them. This feeling you get, it's called always being satisfied.
People are going to judge you and try to make you think that your a dummy for "limiting yourself to only 500 calories and taking drugs with it"

You know what the fuck my response is to them: "well , NO. This is not just a diet I'm following. This goes core deep. On a molecular basis. Now can you tell me any diets you have tried that do that?"
Then I go on and on and at the end of the conversation I ask "Are you Mormon by chance?"
Just be prepared for people to not like the idea of you being on such a strict diet. Honestly if they read what you read and did THEIR homework they would know.
So do not let the discourage you at all!!

I'm lucky I have an uncle who is very open minded. My aunt read up on it to its good to know.
. I told them both, I have areas where I know I will have to get surgery. This is pretty much my last hope. I wrecked my body. Even exercise can't help.

So with that said, Do not take criticism like its a shot in the face. People will have reactions. You cannot control that but you can control how you react yourself.

Yesterday I did the apple a day. Im drinking my coffee. And it's off to the scale!  Cross your fingers ladies and gents. I hope I did well.

Good news ladies and gentles. I have gone to 184.7. That is an 12 lb loss in only about week.
Lesson this post is, patience is a virtue
Today I feel good. I feel like I can take on the world.

Dieting is hard. It will never be easy. I remember being at the gym once telling myself "blood sweat and tears baby" while I was looking at my bleeding heels. Sweating and crying because I did a gruesome workout. It's always worth it.
Nothing great comes easy. That is it.
I remember plenty of times getting so down on myself and being depressed about my weight.

Hcg is a great diet because they call it "The cure to obesity" and I believe this is true. Hcg is fabulous.
I need to wake up a bit, I am so happy that i made it almost a whole week.

Feeling good You all keep up the good work and happy times. Have fun!!

   We are going to call this day ""'The Aftermath"    ha ha ha. I am drinking my coffee. My friend said that I will have gone back 2 days. So it's really not worth it at all.
The sunshine is coming through my windows and it's so pretty!!!

  Yesterday marked one year since my grandma's passing. I got a new job and so I guess I felt really emotional yesterday. Sooooooo that is why I cheated.
Emotions play a huge role in this. I
So make sure that if you do indeed cheat, don't beat yourself up because that will lead you to cheat again.
It's O.K. You and I are all humans.
So in the protocol it says don't do the apple a day.
Now the "apple a day" is when you eat 6 apples throughout the day and drink a lot of water.
Maybe I should just suck it up and get through it.

weight today FYI is 190.4

Not upset. Just a set back. Moving on!!

OK. I am just letting you all know I cheated today. "How did it go?" You all ask?  Not like I imagined it. I am actually a bit happy and disappointed.

I imagined more feelings for the food than what was really there actually. I mean I had full fantasies of eating before I went to bed on this diet. Then I take the chance to do it and I don't want to. I was happy because now I get it. When I ate that food it didn't taste like anything really really really amazing like I had planned in my mind.
The food I ate which was a sandwich and a cookie, actually tasted like crap!
I've eaten this food before and have actually loved it before. I just don't know how to describe this...

I'm glad in a way that I did it. I didn't eat like I would have usually. I was able to eat what ever I wanted and I still ate differently. My mind was not talking the same with my stomach like it usually did. It was more like, my brain was board of eating. "Why am I eating still!?!"

I don't feel like I needed to gorge out on food. When I was done I felt awful. I felt like I had a head ache. I felt just
"Icky". It was no where near as rewarding as losing weight felt. It was no where near as rewarding as this clean feeling I had.
So, tomorrow I am expecting a gain. And I will not be mad at myself. Or beat myself up about it. (although if it is a gain hopefully it will be just a small one  ::crossing fingers::.

I feel like it was good that I did that. I get to share my experience with you all. Then to top it off, I just felt so gross I never want to stray away... I thought it WOULD have been worth it, Actually wasn't

It's like this people: 

See I'm Brad Pitt, And I got this awesome sexy all American sweetheart Jennifer Aniston

*or my Hcg diet.
Food Is Angelina Jolie. Do I cheat on Aniston and go for Jolie?

Well knowing he did and now wants Jennifer back is kind of how I feel with food and this diet. HA HA HA

Today is day 5. Wow is all I can say at the moment. I am feeling very good today. I feel energized and refreshed from sleep. I haven't yet eaten or weighed in. 

So you have to weigh your self every day. Some times I get carried away and will weigh in 2x a day. I do that just to make sure that the other times during the day are really affecting me. 
Let's say I weigh myself in the morning, It will be different then if I weigh myself in the late afternoon. I just want to find the time of day where it's the most accurate. So far it's been (always) the morning. 

I'm just drinking my coffee. After the coffee I'll go weigh in.
Im going to start another post with all my weigh in's.

It's nice to have pictures before and after. 

So this is me at 279 lbs. That is the most I have ever weighed. Now I don't want any one to think that I have lost all the weight on HCG. I didn't. I lost it by counting calories and exercising. I really watched what I ate. 

After losing 60 pounds lost, I decided to go on the Atkins way of eating. After losing another 40 pounds on that, I had a friend named Amber who talked to me about HHCG. 

I have had friends go on the HHCG diet and fail. 
I have seen co-workers try it and have so much success. I was jealous of their weight loss. Seeing them lose it so fast and look great was hard to see. "Nope, I didn't exercise and I feel great!" 

What the hell is that all about? I kept thinking they are going to gain it all back I promise that. Thinking it's so unhealthy, making all these judgments on them before even researching it. 

Now, I don't do that. I try to keep criticism at a low. 
I find myself doing it at times, but I think it's a jealousy thing ha ha ha.

I now look like this:






Those are my cousins :)

I tried HHCG  (Homeopathic)  back in September of last year (2010)
for the first time. I was under a lot of stress then. I was living in a household that was high stress. No work, no money, car was breaking down.
So I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO THIS DIET WHEN YOU ARE UNDER VERY LITTLE STRESS.
That is the one key element in success with this.
I messed up a lot on this diet in the first time I tried it. I didn't follow the protocol, I still lost some weight but cheating was always my problem. 
Obviously lesson learned here was (ha ha ha thanks Amber) :FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL!!

  

So I have started taking HhCG four days ago today. Two days, I have taken it for loading so together I have been on it for 6 days. Taking it for the 4 days and carefully following instructions has made me able to lose 8.5 lbs so far. 


This blog is something I am creating so I can record my progress, feelings and any Findings.


Like for instance is there any one out there who knows how hard doing this diet really is?? 
Or is there anyone out there who is going to be non-judgmental when they hear someone THEY know is doing this diet?
What kinds of questions do people have after reading the protocol?


Hopefully I can get a few good readers from this and answer some questions about the diet.


I have found this protocol to be so fascinating personally. 
So far sooooo GOOD!!!
