Thanks!

Hi Miz Grits. Since my bio-identical hormones came in cream form, I stopped using them during P2. I had to take a maletonin before bed to help me sleep though since I wasn't getting the progesterone that helps with sleeping. Otherwise I haven't had a problem with not taking the cream. I'm not having any issues with hot flashes or night sweats when I'm on the HCG.

Colleen

Hi Colleen. It's great seeing you again. How are you doing? It's great getting your daughter to try the plan also. I give blood every 2 months. I had no problem giving while in P2. In fact, the first time I gave while on the HCG my cholesteral dropped from 189 to 135.

I'm sure I will never catch all the way up but I'll try some in my spare time..

OMG Gwendolyn. Look at you. You look wonderful and beautiful!!! Congrats on reaching your goal and maintaining during the holidays. You have got to be ecstatic. I am so proud of you and happy for you. Yayyyy another HCG success story. WTG!!!!

I guess it's great timing that it's 15 degrees outside right now.

Gwendolyn! We have missed you. It is wonderful that you have gotten to goal! So sorry to hear about your aunt's passing and your parents having the virus during Christmas. I understand busy. I was off of the board for 3 weeks!

Woke this morning to yet another loading day and the icky stomach lives on - waiting for the reprieve that will come tomorrow! Tonight going for onion rings and bacon burger with avocado - that should take care of any fear of not loading on enough fat! We'll see what tomorrow's gain will be! I must say, love not being worried about it - it'll drop off in the first few VLCD days

That's too funny! My stomach has been feeling yucky, too. I'm REALLY looking forward to eating low calories tomorrow!! I've been doing a lot of fat. I still have a pint of banana pudding ice cream to eat tonight and then I'm done. Finally! lol Can't wait to see how we both do

i am not taking any hormones but i have continued to take all my prescription meds and the only vitamin i have cut out has been my D because it is in an oil base and my flax fish borage oil pill..

HTH

good luck!!!

So, do you take a dose before supper or does it matter? We can take our doses anytime and it doesn't necessarily have to be before we eat? You all have been so helpful!

Thanks!

Mis Grits, I'm post-menopausal and have continued to take my hormones throughout all of protocol with no problems at all. The hormones/supplements I take are estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, Vit D and Vit B12. The B12 I take sporadically along with iodine - just because sometimes I forget

[SuperSim1]

Hey there everyone!! Just wanted to say thank you for all your kind words of welcome and support!! I have a limited amount of time during my day to get on here, and your all such a chatty bunch (which i LOVE LOVE LOVE!!) but i will be trying hard to cheer you all on in the upcoming months! I'm so excited to be on this journey with you! (i thought that little guy was dancing.. but it says kicking... I see a dancing man happy to be on HCG!)

Day 2 of VLCD and can't believe how good i feel and how my huger has been at bay pretty much all day! and down 3 more lbs this morning which started me off jumping for joy!! It really is "real"!!
Tracey, do you work in the resturaunt biz too?

I hope the morning finds you lighter, brighter, and wiser!!

It doesn't matter when you take them, although you should space them out during your day. Also, you know that you wait 30 minutes before AND after taking them to eat or drink anything, right?

Yes, it's REAL!! Congratulations on a great loss!

[Dizzybell]

I've been awake since 4:10

Down another 1.6 pounds! Looked back at my WLT and I'm in virgin territory by .2 pounds (from my lowest weight during P4). I'm going to take my measurements today...haven't done that in a month or more and I'm curious to see what's up (or down ). Have a great day, HcGers!

[Brown]

Must be something in the air. I've been up since before 4:30, too. <_<

[Bob1956]

Good morning All. Today is VLCD 12 of R3, and my weight is 192, a loss of 1 lb from yesterday. Hope everyone has a great day. Stay INTENTIONAL.

Colleen, glad to see you pop in. I don't know if you can, but if you can donate blood when your pregnant, you should have no problem with donating while on hCG. Pop in more often.

I just pop up, and am wide awake. It's not like I'm groggy or worried, or anything like that....I'm just...awake. I've decided to get into agreement with it rather than fighting it so today I got out of bed, read, got dressed, and started my day! I'd love some company here in the wee hours, so pop on when you're up early

Awesome, Bob!! Keep it up, Loser!

[suzypepper]

Donw .8 lbs!!!

Everybody is doing so well! Still haven't seen that little fairy anywhere...but thanks everyone for the suggestion of magnesium... I took 1200 mg last night after reading the post and will take more this morning...hopefully that helps!

Dizzy and Brown.............Try taking MELATONIN tonight. It is a natural sleep aid.

HAVE A WONDERFUL LOSING DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to share with anyone struggling to lose weight about this MIRACLE!
BUT......at the same time.......not sure if they would believe me. It seems sad that more people don't research this protocal and just DO IT!

LOVE IT!!!

Pepper

I love Hhcg too!!! Welcome to our club!! That would be the I hcg club we all belong to!!! Isn't it great that not only do we not feel hunger while on the VLCD but that we lose weight too??!! How awesome is that?????!!!!

Yay Pepper! WTG on the .8lb release! If I see Bernice today I will send her your way! If the Magnesium doesn't help, try adding some fiber. KUTGW!

[KD4181]

I do my first drops when I get up. Second dosage about 2:00 PM and, as recommended by my supplier, late, like about 8:00 PM for my last dosage.

[Steadfast]

Thanks to all of you who answered my many questions! Yesterday was the first weight day since starting VLCD and I was down 4#! Today, another 1.5 Not as much as I had hoped for but it will all add up!

Everyone looks GREAT here!! The photos are So inspiring!

[mlilly11]

Today is VLCD 2.

Yesterday my final Loading weight was 150.6 and this morning I am down -2.8. Yay, loading weight gone and then some.

I am, however, still dealing with the ucky tummy. Yesterday I blamed the nausea on the loading, but this morning was even worse. I pulled the car over on my way to work and barely got the door open before losing all my water on the side of the road. (TMI- I know) Anyway, I left work as I continued to feel sick.

I am committed to this protocol, so I am going to hang tough, I just wondered if anyone had any similar issues. I notice I'm a little shaky in the morning so my first guess is low blood sugar. So I have skipped the coffee in the morning. As much as I'd like to wait til lunch to eat, I may have to try having a few apple slices tomorrow morning to see if it makes any difference.

I'm going to use the day off to nap and work on report cards- wishing you all big losses this morning!
