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!

Yay Lilly! A 2.8lb release and all the loading weight gone! KUTGW!

As for the ucky tummy, try a tablespoon of ACV in a cup of water. Works like a charm for me. Make sure you get the kind "with Mother". I keep Braggs at the house and have used it a couple of times while on protocol for tummy troubles. And if you have having the shakies in the morning, then by all means eat a half of an apple to see if that helps. You can split your food up anyway you need to. Just don't add anything extra.

Hi Dedee. You look marvelous. Thanks for checking in and sharing your picture. It's great to hear you basically maintained during the holidays. Eating carefully should get rid of any weight gain.

[Ragdoll24]

Released another 1.6 lbs. today for a total of 6 lbs. in 3 VLCD, woo-hoo. Now I'm 3.8 lbs. from LDW

Dizzy being .2 in virgin territory is great, you'll be releasing lots more and will be seeing a wonderful new LDW by the end of this round.

Good going Mlilly, As has been suggested try Apple Cider Vinegar for the tummy. Another thing to try is Peppermint Tea.
For those of you who don't know me, I thought I would show you my before and after pictures. The before picture was in March 2007 when I weighted over 200 lbs. At one point I was up to 210 lbs. I did low carb until I stalled out for over 6 months at 134 lbs. I started the Simeons Protocol in September 2008 and have seen a new low weight of 108.6 lbs. in recent months.

Thanks!

Enjoy your loading day. I also take the HHCG and usually dose at 6:30, 11:30, 5:30. Also, my last round I continued taking bio-identical hormones (I took a compounded capsule); this round I have discontinued the hormones (I may go back on them, just wanted to see if I would notice a significant difference being off of them for a while). Hope this helps!!

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'm with you on why more people don't do the research and get on board! I know most of the people I have shared my "secret" with only get to the "very restrictive eating" part of the plan and shut down. This round, my husband and two nieces are also on plan with me. Last night was our last load day and I cooked some P2 foods for one of my nieces (a college student) who is very concerned about the mental hunger (she is also a picky eater!).

Look forward to following your losses!!

I agree with Sharon - you look great!! With no correction days, are you eating mostly P3 style or are you eating everything but in moderation? I would love to know any tips you have for maitaining successfully! Also, please post on if you like the ab circle - I've seen them and thought it might be fun.

2.8 lbs - great loss!! I hope you start feeling better! Have you tried ACV? I took it all through R1 and never had any tummy troubles.

[anaidm]

Today is VLCD 1 - I really hope the 8 lbs I am over R1 LDW come off fast!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

[Steadfast]

Lilly, I had severe cramping and diarrhea (TMI) with my first dose. DH was very concerned about me continuing, but by night I was better. May have been some of the loading foods..? I do not get shaky or hungry but I do have an increased in "hot flashes" that I think are low BS! I think I would try to spread the food out more and not go without eating until 12!

I am not hungry but I am worried about the weight loss stopping even eating right! I have thyroid problems and I can just see it coming to a screeching halt! Thanks for the encouragement and letting me know that some of you continued your tyhroid medication, throughout. Do you all still drink the coffee? Although protocol says we can, many homeopathic people say not to... I am still drinking it in the mornings!

Please let us know how the ab circle pro is...looks like fun!

SuperSim, Dizzy, Bob, Steadfast & Mlilly congrats on all those losses!
Dizzy whhaaa whhoooo to NEW Territory !

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

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

Suzy the magnesium works very good for me. It sometimes takes a day or so to get things going at first. Once things get going and you keep taking it regularly things seem to stay regular

Many people that have had upset stomach have taken some of the Mother's Milk ACV and they reported it successfully helped calm down their stomach. If you have some please try to drink it and it should help. Hope you are feeling better.

It's normal to slow down, especially after week 2. The average daily weight loss for women is .5 pounds. It's exciting to see the big losses at the beginning but you need to prepare yourself for when it slows down. Let's change "I can just see it coming to a screeching halt" to "I can see it continuing at an average of .5 pounds per day!" Thoughts become things...choose the good ones

Hey everybody, I keep fiddling with my signature to accurately reflect my progress. Please tell me if you think it makes sense. Thanks!!

Thanks so much David for you very nice comments. Even after a year I'm still getting used to my new body.

SuperSim, Dizzy, Bob, Steadfast & Mlilly big congrats on the release of the lbs.!

Dizzy, your signature line makes perfect sense to me. Thanks Dizzy for your kind comments, it takes appox 1 hour for my posts to show up.

[mlilly11]

I will try some ACV, and maybe a few apple slices in the morning for tummy troubles. Thank you for all the suggestions and encouragement. I love this group, and I love hcg.

[River_Goddess]

Good morning all you sexy people! Wow, the avatars are looking great on here. We must be doing something right, lol...hCG perhaps?

I am down another.4 lbs today, VLCD 3. Slower than my start last time, all around. I wonder if the healing from surgery is affecting my losses? Either way, I'll take every ounce!

[dlkin91]

ok I think I read most of the posts but do not have time to reply individually. Wow I know it probably gets old but what bunch of losers you all are! People losing, people maintaining people posting pictures that are so inspirational!

THANKS FOR POSTING AND SHARING YOUR JOURNEY!

I am at 3.2 lbs over LDW so I believe I am going to do another shake day tomorrow and see if I can officially get back into range. You all have a wonderful day!

Yayyy Steadfast. A loss of 5.5 lbs in 2 days is really AWESOME!!! When you hope for more and don't see it ask yourself what other diet would give you those same results. It will certainly put things in perspective.
