Simeons Protocol (HCG) January 2010

[dlkin91]

Good morning all of you beautiful people! I am very happy that the eating fest is over and I can get back to business. I love being at work where it is easier when it comes to food. I bag lunch it so if it is not here I do not eat it Anyway because I am accountable to you all I was 10 lbs over this morning but BERNICE already showed up ...thank goodness...and I am doing a shake day! I will get it all off over the next 12 days before my round 3. clean P3 and some reset days will get me back in window. Frustrating to let myself have that much fun with food but I really enjoyed my time with family and friends. Sooooooo, I am not perfect but I am forgiven. Anyway so many new people. You all have to stay with us and be accountable and stay intentional. Really folks we have all tweaked Dr. S. protocol a bit here and there and I have not heard one success story from the alterations. Stay on plan and we will all be thin and healthy before we know it. I am very excited that so many people I know and care about are doing this protocol and are winning big time. I am really enjoying my work outs and I am loving the way I feel after I am done.

Bob, Dizzy, Chelangal, Melissa, and so many others...You are losing wonderfully and I am so proud of you all for crossing your t's and dotting your i's. You all do not know how much you have helped me on my journey and I am very thankful for you!

Is there anyone out there loading on the 16th and 17th? I am starting that weekend and I am so excited to be starting again.

So many new people you will do well and be successful. Most of us have not used a clinic as the cost can be pretty high. My family has lost closed to 400 lbs and we have all used the HHCG and followed P&I by Dr S. to do it. After reading it and you have questions then ask away but please read it. I know I have to read it again before my next round. None of my family has gone to a clinic to lose the weight.


Chelangal have a great trip in Hawaii! I would love to travel more and am contemplating a part time job so I can...

Keila: glad your home safe and was able to stay so close to your LDW.

Lindy: I miss you but suspect you will be starting another round soon...I think you and I were on P2 together for a good bit of our last round. Hope things are well for you and your family.

I live in Arlington, Virginia, right off of 395. I have quite a few friends who live out in Sterling and go out that way often.

Kiley and Sharon, my folks live in Reston and I lived in Sterling for about 14 years in Country Side. I work in Reston off the toll road. I moved out to Charles Town because the housing market forced me out but do hope to move back in at some point. I drive a lot!

[Crazymama5]

I have been on PTO (Person Time Off) for 3 weeks and at home I stay busy, busy, busy!

I have been doing well. I am currently in P4 and maintaining pretty well. After the Christmas eating was over, I had gain 5 lbs. I couldn't do a steak day the next day, but went to P3 eating and drinking lots of water. After one day, I had dropped 6 lbs so ended up not having to do a steak day. I figured most of the weight was water weight because I hadn't been drinking enough.

My daughter will be starting the diet next weekend. I think her load days are Sunday and Monday, but could be Saturday and Sunday. I am very excited for her! She is doing the same total body cleanse that I did before my first round this week. I won't get to start my 3rd round until the weekend of February 6th. We have a Biggest Loser at Work contest that will start the 26th of January and I think I am going to sign up!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Let's get losing!!!

I am very stoked to get started, some time this week is my plan. I kind of thought that the no-no to coffee might be questionable, but I don't want to mess anything up.
Anything else about the spray? It seems pretty straightforward/easy, but I am one who will screw up the easiest things imaginable. Seriously.

I switched to the spray because I found myself getting mildly stressed about forgetting to do the drops. My first round was 6 times a day for drops - grandson finally programmed my cell phone for me. Second round I switched drops to 3 times a day - still pain in my memory bank. Spray before I get out of bed....and early evening or when I go to bed as I leave the spray on my side table. Super easy...and it was cheaper than the drops I was buying!!!

Lindy so nice to hear from you..missed your wonderful insights. Happy HCGing in 2010...know you and your daughter will have great success since you are a 100% INTENTIONAL to P&I kind of gal.

[MzMelissa]

Good Morning everyone, glad to see that all is well with the world, (here at least) gotta stay away from CNN...
I was up 1/2 a pound yesterday from TOM, did an apple day and today I am down 3.4, so nice correction.

Lindy you have been missed my friend, glad to see you are maintaining and had some nice home time.

To everyone new, you will find all the support you need here and very nice people, good luck I look forward to enjoying your journey.

Bob so steady, AWESOME!

Slim have fun losing.

My 2 cents on the spray. I did shots my first round and by day 30 it was taking my way too long to do my shot, just couldn't stick myself! I decided to switch to something else for my 2nd round, but didn't like the fact that I was going to have to do drops 3 - 6 times a day. When I found the My Fat Cure spray (even though it is more expensive than the drops) I knew that I had found my answer! I love the MFC spray!!! I lost 20.8lb in R2 and will be starting R3 in February.

[Crazymama5]

I lost a total of 47.4lbs in 2009. That was since starting HCG in August.

My goal for 2010 is 36 more pounds at least. That will get me to a normal weight from my height for the first time in 25 years! I may try to lose a little bit more that that, but until I get there

Melissa - It is good to see you back! And you are rocking this round! KUTGW!

Slim - Glad to see you! I have missed everyone of my HCG family! I won't be starting R3 until the first week of February. I could have started on the 16th and 17th but have Special Olympics Winter Games February 4 - 7, so decided to wait until that weekend to load. I am going to do a long round and didn't want to be on the VLCD part while dealing with SO athletes and getting them where they are suppose to be and on time! I will be here to cheer you on!

Thanks Lindy! I did not have problems with giving myself shots as I was a fertility shots gal (maybe tmi, sorry) but the whole deal with ordering, mixing, refrigerating just didn't appeal to me this time. My first round, I took left overs from my Mother who had lost 60 or so and was finished. She used a clinic in Waco and had fantastic results.
I had great results too, but realized about 9 days in that I hadn't loaded properly. I have gallbladder/ibs issues and all of that fat was absolutely killing me, so I went too "soft" on loading. This time I'll just deal with the pain.

[Dizzybell]

Lindy you've been missed!! Glad to know you're maintaining well and being such a great way-shower for all of us!! Good luck to your daughter. I have a soft spot for them, you know

Slim, my loading days produced a 10 pound gain, so I hear you. You'll whittle away at that and then off you'll go to P2.

Melissa, I love your new photo. You're so beautiful.

[donia]

Loading has begun! I have a bowl of dried pineapple that I'm eating while my sausage rolls cook in the oven and my pint of Bluebell Mexican Praline ice cream is within reach. Lunch will be a big sub with avocado. We're going to Olive Garden tonight with my mom. She loves that place. lol

[suzypepper]

I'm down 1 pound this morning! 1 week 8.4 lbs lost....(even though I gained almost 4 lbs loading!)

I like to eat Tilapia steamed in a little water, and the frozen box of asparagus did taste very tasty laying right next to the fish. I didn't know if I would like it but............not bad.

For lunch I am trying what Dizzy had....Chopped up chicken breast, chopped up apple, and 1 cup chopped celery. Sounds Delish...QUESTION: Can I add a little apple vinegar with some stevia to juice it up OR is there something else I should add to this wonderful salad>

HOT, HOT is all I can say. Reallllly awesome picture. HOT, HOT

[Chelangal]

OK..I really don't like that scale not moving down this morning. What do I know: I have been 100% on P2 protocol. Bernice is not as active this round as past. I have not been eating fish this round. I am behind my last 2 rounds at this same day by 1.2#'s.
So what to do. Well first, I leave at 3:45 a.m. tomorrow for my trip. Therefore, I am not going to stress. I will stay 100% Intentional then when I get settled and watch the scale for a couple days, if it is not cooperating than I will add fish back in to the protein mix. Will throw in some magnesium (in my suitcase, not my body!!!!) and if Bernice doesn't change her mind by tomorrow night then will convince Bernice with mag that she realllly does want to come play at my house.
Bob, ? did you try using splenda in your coffee? Remembered you were thinking about it..just wondered what the results. You certainly are having a fantastic P2R3.

I believe that being INTENTIONAL is key to the success of this program. Everyone have a great day, and keep losing Pounds and Inches.

Ah Bob, I expect nothing less from you cause you are truly a fine example of how protocol works when you are 100% INTENTIONAL!

I agree with Dizzy. That nervousness coupled with excitement makes my tummy whirl, but believe us all when we say if you follow protocol to a 'T', you will attain your goal.

Aggie! Haven't had the opportunity to meet you before now.

I haven't used the spray, but probably would if I didn't have a good supply of drops for my next round. I did not give up my black coffee and don't know if it slowed my releases or not, but going on 70 years of age, I have absolutely no complaints with my body's release of fat.

I am happy as well that the eating fest is over and done until the next holiday. You'll shed that 10 lbs. quicker than a scared bunny running.

Lindy!! So good to see you posting again. I was MIA for a time myself, but routine has set in again, and I'm liking it.
You are so excited that your daughter will be joining you! How nice!
I've been maintaining pretty well myself, but like you, put on about 5 lbs. but easily taken care of with some modified shake days.
Happy New Year!

Isn't it a good feeling to see that number drop on the scale? Good going!!

[Aggie95]

Thank you Gracie! Nice to "meet" you, and thanks for the info. There is such a wealth of information and personal experience here. Love it

[traceym1]

Doing great. Down another 2.8 pounds for a total of 8.2. This is going well and I feel fine. The first day I did not have fruits, the second day I did. I was satisfied, though. I need to find some Melba toast and will add that in. Is 40z 100g. That is how my scale reads. Just wanted to double check.
Tracey

[Micmac]

I'm finally back and ready to start round 2!!!
First round I did the injectable hCG, this time I ordered the oral spray. I am excited to start and feel back in control again. The Holidays, traveling, family wedding, and out-of-town company was quite challenging. Much fun and very busy, but as for eating;
Today and tomorrow are loading days. Wednesday starts day 1 of VLCD. I am a little anxious to try the oral spray, hope it compares to the injectable. I just couldn't afford another round through the doctor.
Here's to a New Year of great poundage losses

[Grizzy]

Quick drive by posting, nice to see you back Lindy!

I was up a smidge today but I weighted much earlier than usual. Still within my range so not worrying about it. Day 17 of P3, so close to P4 I am thinking about the carbs I will add in already.

Happy losing everyone!!

I actually joined in August, halfway through my first round with injections and loved all of the guidance I got from all of you for P2-P4. I got cocky a bit over the Holidays and will start round 2 to shed a bit of FAT. Here's where I need help: I just received the MFC spray and would like to hear from Sharon, Lindy, etc who have used the spray. The literature states to NOT spray for load days. This is against the usual rules..what did y'all do? Also, no coffee, mint? Do I need to "activate" before spraying? For a short round, exactly how many VLC days are there? Finally, at the end of the round, we do 48 hrs. of no spray AND VLC? I guess I am mostly confused about the number of days I must spray to consider it a complete half round.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies/has advice. I do not have too many chances in the day to post but I absolutely love reading about all of your experiences. hCG is awesome!!

Jennifer

Jennifer. Glad you have joined us. I used another brand of sublingual HHCG spray first. The dosage on that was 3 sprays three times a day for the first 3 days and then down to 3 sprays twice a day for the duration of your VLCDs. Then there was a 3 days at the end where I did the 500 calories with no HCG. I started using the MFC HHCG about half way into my round 2 so I just went with the 2 sprays twice a day. On this last correction round, I went with the same regimine as my original HCG; 3 sprays 3 times a day for the first 3 days and then down to 2 sprays twice a day. I found I was a little hungry w/ only the 2 sprays twice a day so I upped mine to 3 sprays three times a day. I hit the bottom of the bottle 10 times before using (activating). I did spray for my load days. I guess I didn't read that part in the literature. For this correction round, I lost after my first load day. Hmmm, I wonder if that was the reason why (because I used the spray during my load days)? You are to do a mininum of 23 VLCDs. It can be more days though (up to 40). Once you've decided on your number of VLCDs, then you do 2 days after that with 500 calories and no HCG. P3 starts after that. I hope I have answered your questions. If you download the excel spread sheet Lindy put together, it gives you a better indication on the days.

Wooo Hooo Bob!!! Congrats on your 1 lb release. You are rocking this round dude. I am sooo happy for you. Only one more day to watch your wife load and then you two will be able to do VLCDs together. Yayyyy!!!!

[Brown]

Yesterday was the last day of my break from hCG. I had a sausage and cheese omelet and 4 slices of bacon yesterday morning, then for lunch, a big salad with lots of bacon bits, shredded cheese, and creamy caesar dressing. For dinner I had 10 wings from Buffalo Wild Wings with lots of ranch, and about 4-5 fried mushrooms with ranch. Then I had a ginormous brownie with frosting last night. :blush:

Let me back up... my LIW for round 1 was 154. I quickly gained up to 159.4. I started round 2 without finishing P3, got down to 152.8, then took my break 12/28-1/3. At the end of those 6 days of eating without caring, I was exactly 159.4 again yesterday morning. After eating all I ate yesterday, I was down .8 today to 158.6.

My stabilization may be late-to-start, and higher than it was, but it sure looks like i may have some sort of stabilization which is a massive improvement. Today's my first day back to VLCD and my shots.

19 more VLCDs, including today, and hopefully I can get down to low 140s and then stabilize somewhere under 150.

Awesome Bob, and a great inspiration for all the newbies!

VLCD Day 4 for me. I let go of another 4.2 pounds for a 3 day total of 14.4 pounds! I'm now 4.6 lbs below my LDW. I'm looking forward to the day I get below the lowest weight I was during R1, which is 2.8 pounds away....after that it will be all virgin territory. Last round I always lost well right after my period, so I hope to continue big losses for the next 3-4 days. Have a wonderful Monday!! I loved the holidays and I'm glad they're OVER!!!

Wowwww Dizzy!!! Another impressive loss. That is reallly freaking incredible. Being that far below your LDW in your last round must have really triggered something for this round. Whatever the case may be, I am so happy for you and very impressed. KUTGW!!!

This is against the usual rules..what did y'all do? Also, no coffee, mint? Do I need to "activate" before spraying? For a short round, exactly how many VLC days are there? Finally, at the end of the round, we do 48 hrs. of no spray AND VLC? I guess I am mostly confused about the number of days I must spray to consider it a complete half round.

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies/has advice. I do not have too many chances in the day to post but I absolutely love reading about all of your experiences. hCG is awesome!!

Jennifer - I too activated the spray by tapping it on my hand 10 times before spraying. I also used the spray on load days. I got mine before the change in literature. Rob was doing an experiment on loading with and without the spray. He said that doing the loading with the spray was hard on people. Well, loading while injecting HCG was hard! I think that is part of the protocol. By the second day of loading you are ready to and sooo ready to start the VLCD. Dr S says to load with HCG so that is what I do.
