I hope everybody has a great day, today is crazy at work, just like every Wed!.

Drdrew: Those pictures are incredibly beautiful!!!Thank you so much for sharing!

Mydear: I hope you feel better, I have two herniated disks and I know what that pains feels like and it's NOT fun at ALL!!

Juls: You can buy HCG online, in either drops or pellets form, I ordered mine in a website called HCG Diet, HCG Dr. Simeons, Why HCG Works, HCG Homeopathic Drops, Buy HCG they are like twenty something dollars for the drops and the pellets are just a little more. The diet is very strict but you do loss a lot of weight very quickly, the only thing is that if you eat something off plan you gain very quickly too.
but you do loss a lot of weight, my husband did it the first time and lost 60 lbs in 44 days. Once you finish with the drops, you have to have 3 days with the diet but no drops and after that pure low carb.

Angelface: you ARE great! working out for 1.5 hours! wow!! amazing!!

[Angie]

Wow!! I typed fat4energy and it changed the entire thing with the link... okay you can just click on the link LOL

Actually, I just visited the site, since I hadnot been there in a while and the price changed incredibly! you can google it and find it cheaper, I believe there is also another one called hcgforless.com try that one.

[Angie]

Uppss I checked that one out as well and they are not selling because of the FDA

[chocgirl]

Weight is going down again, phew...felt like a bloated balloon this last week!!! Not eating too much salt, drinking more tea and taking it easy on the coffee might do it!!

Fully committed again!!!

I've seen it referenced in people's profiles and never knew what it was... I'm just curious. Also, my Mom is looking into Lap Band surgery so I want to suggest this to her as well before she goes to that extreme. She did low-carb for a little while but then got on this sushi kick and hasn't been able to give it up since. I read a little about the HCG diet just now and I think she could manage that.... not to mention I'm intrigued.

Any info would be greatly appreciated... from anyone else too!

Thanks,

Juls

****************
Sorry did not answer yesterday, very busy at work!

I tried two different HCG's the first one was a little more expensice, but it certainly work wonders, very high on the limitations thu, NO sugar, no salt, one can use just certain spices, limited vegies and amounts of meats, and certainly no exercise at all! The instruction tell you what to do for constipation or if one stalls. I lost 22 pounds in one month and after doing HCG, atkins seams like heaven. LOL.

When I tried the second round I bought cheaper brand of drops, but not very effective, at least to me.. I was unable to stay on track, ended up sending them back for a full refund. My co-workers tried them too and had no effective results.

After my 22 lbs lost I just was really careful with my foods and definate no fast foods! That way I was able to keep the pounds off.

HCG Diet | HCG Drops | HCG Weight Loss | Official HCG Diet Plan this one was the one that work for me and they are drops only.



and this one for active ingredients actually does have some HCG! the website will give you more information.
Hope this helps!

I didn't officially join the April challenge, but I did start Induction in April. Here are my losses so far. I was hoping I'd have lost more than 6 pounds, but it's only been 9 days. It feels like so much longer that I started this program.

So I'm on the hunt for a delicious barbecue sauce for chicken that has little to no carbs, little to no sugar, and littler to no CHEMICAL TASTE! "Ay, there's the rub." Sorry, can't help but quote Hamlet; I'm an English teacher! Anyway, I've bought and tried two from Netrition: the Walden Farms hickory smoked BBQ sauce with zero carbs and zero sugar. It smells great, but it tastes like chemicals. Yesterday, I tried Nature's Hollow hickory smoked BBQ sauce which has 5 carbs and 3 sugar alcohol. It tastes better than the Walden Farms, but still quite chemical-tasting.

Any suggestions for a DELISH BBQ sauce??
