Good Morning Everyone,
Today I officially hit the 10 pds lost mark!!! Woohoo, I feel darn good too. I never took measurements but wish I would have. Oh well, I know I am losing inches because my pants feel so much better already.

Sounds like everyone is doing great, I was just curious what sort of price you guys paid for your drops, I am doing the injections and was just curious of the price difference.


Hope everyone has a great day,


Kelly

My homeopathic hcg cost $27 plus the cost of shipping, which may have been $10!!! It is shipped in the US so no need to wait weeks for it to clear customs. Mine arrived in less than a week!! Also if it is used as directed on the bottle it will last for a whole 40 day round!!! I cannot post links so I am sorry I cannot tell you where to get it from. But I will tell you it was NOT ebay!!! I have been able to lose weight in my 3 rounds for less than $100!!! And I have Hhcg left over. How much did you pay for the Rx?

Great job! My first batch I paid $90 for. I saw cheaper ones but I didn't want to take the chance.
My second bottle was $26.00

Yeah I paid a lot first time too, we live and learn, I was afraid to buy the cheaper one in case I was unlucky enough to get a bogus supply.

Grand total that I paid for the all the injection stuff was 140 bucks, because you have to buy needles and mixing stuff and plus shipping for international, that was enough for my 40 day round, I didnt think it was too terribly bad, but I think in the event that I am not where I wanna be at the end of this round, I think I will look for the drops since they seem to be way cheaper and you guys are having great results using those. Thanks for all the info

Eek, the scale jumped 1.4 pounds this morning -- I'm not sure why -- so I'm doing my first correction day and hoping for the drop in weight Dr. S. describes .

At least it gives me an opportunity to use a flock of smilies.

I think mine was right around 100 dollars with all the supplies (i am going to be doing injections)...but I really think I could have done it cheaper if I would have looked around more or bought the supplies separate instead of in a kit. The supplies cost like 65 dollars..the actual hcg was only 30 dollars after shipping.

My first correction day I was scared to death! But it all worked out in the end and I lost enough to be in my window. The steak days usually net me about 1.4-1.6 lbs lost. I hope you are successful too!!! Enjoy that steak tonight!!

Good luck on your correction day. Honestly I would much rather do a steak day than the dreaded apple day. Good luck! i I hope you have a big fat release after your correction day.

@ Everyone else.....I paid $38 for my drops. Should be good for 2 short rounds. I can't believe how much of a price diff there is in how much we all paid for these drops. Crazy!!

I paid $58 for a 2 oz bottle that is supposed to last the 40-43 days. Plus it contains amino acids and B vitamins. I never did find any homeopathic sprays.

Is there any way to know FOR SURE that the drops are working? I don't feel as hungry today since I upped my drops to 15 3x a day but it's hard to tell if it's mind or matter sometimes. I'd hate to get past day three and keel over because I only starved myself for three days and nothing more!

Believe me, you will know for sure if they aren't working! On 500 calories per day you would feel extremely weak, dizzy, etc. I have never felt that way on the 500 calories because of the hcg. Also, a little TMI - but the first few days I would pee all day long! No one could sustain the 500 calorie portion of the diet without the hcg.

But people do water fasts all the time without any severe problems, right? There have been lots of situations where people have gotten stranded or lost and darn near starved to death, lost a lot of weight, but still survived. I guess I'm just a worry wort!!! Wish I could just pee on a stick or something to confirm it's working!

TMI? Hrm....haven't got all the lingo down yet!! The first night of the first VLCD I peed a LOT during the night even for me. I just figured it was all the extra water I was drinking tho. Well, not weak, not dizzy, a bit less hungry.... MAYBE it's working.

TMI = too much information

Sounds to me like you're settling in if you aren't feeling any of those. I tell people I don't feel a bit different taking these and only consuming 500 calories than I would if I weren't taking them and eating 2000 calories - that's how I know its working...and the fact that the scale is moving down every single day (until today that is....but I'm holding out hope for tomorrow!)

Another way you will know it's working - if you cheat (even only slightly) you will have a huge gain! Then you know for sure the hcg is releasing the extra stored fat

the feeling of fullness, AND extra weight loss, Marci. I've gone with only liquids before and eventually there's a complete loss of hunger, but not with eating very low calories. Now i did eat vlcd back in January. I was able to make it from meal to meal but I was very hungry by dinner time. I lost weight but probably less than half the rate I'm losing right now. This weight loss is very similar to when I was doing the Master Cleanse, which is fascinating to me, and I have far greater chance of keeping it off this way.

I feel like I ate too much even though I know I stuck to plan perfectly...I guess that is the hcg working..I feel full on 500 calories...so strange... if I feel like this every day I will be able to do the full 30 days!!!!
How long before anyone noticed a difference in their clothes???
