Simeons HCG protocol--August 2010

[sassy_red]

I decided not to weigh myself this morning. It isn't that I cheated or am afraid of what it'll say, I just didn't care.

Yesterday I made the decision to try this next grocery cycle with only chicken and fish, no beef. I've had good losses this last week and the burgers have been a large part of my diet, but I want to shake things up a bit. I'll have to get creative (yay stirfry!) so I won't get bored, but no beef this grocery-time. To that end today's lunch is fish, asparagus, apples and a Melba. Dinner is going to be chicken, and me rushing around weighing my groceries I'll be buying this afternoon.

In other news I seem to be rapidly going through my HCG bottle. May need to buckle down and order more sooner than later....

Not much time this morning. Headed out the door in just a minute. I am down another .5 giving a net of 17.5 in 23vlcd's. I am going to TRY for the full 40. We shall see.

I am feeling 'empty' today. Not hungry...just empty. And I think I need to up my potassium. Leg cramps! And I feel weak.

Talk to you guys soon, Lord willin'!

lost one lb so .4 lbs away from where I was b'fore the weekend!!
I will post weight once I'm back at siggy weight

[Healthy and Happy]

Wow, I woke up to an all time low of 194.6! I was hoping to stabilize at 195 so this is great! P3 starts tomorrow, and it feels so weird to not be dosing anymore. I plan to do 3 wks. of P3, 3 wks. of P4, and then start a 21 day Round 2. I am hoping for 20 lbs. lost on Round 2 with no off plan eating at all this time! If I can stabilize at 175 after Round 2 I will be beyond thrilled!!!

ON SUNDAY..... I have to prep for a colonoscopy. It's my first one. I am already worried about the PREP for it. SOUNDS DISGUSTING!!! So...I have a feeling that my weight will be UNDER the 2 pound leeway. ANY ADVICE FOR THIS?????

JAN

Docs always trying to get me to do those since I'm 'over 50' but I always so NO WAY! Same with mammo's. No more nukes for me! No yearly physicals either. Just some 'food for thought' for ya. No pun intended.

You taking a good multi and some extra B12?

See
dont worry about the "temporay" under 2 lbs for 1 day
after your colon is done and when you recover from the nausea
and you eat again you will even out.
everything will be fine

That was so me this morning! I woke up to a 1.6 loss and I was so disappointed cause I wanted to see at least 2 pounds gone forever. lol We're so spoiled.

TOM showed up last night though so I'm hoping once it's gone I'll get a nice whoosh.

Congrats on your pound gone forever. I'm excited for you to get into the 160's!!!!

Yup...I guess so! You have lost nearly 20 lbs in 16 days! That is so awesome!

[paulabob]

Second loss in a row, so maybe my stall is over? Still 0.8 over my lowest weight.

11.8 net pounds on vlcd 25.

So ladies, celebrate those one pound losses! You are lucky!

Me too! I can't wait for cream in my coffee - that is going to be the first thing I add back. I stayed the same this a.m. (no surprise ), but I will admit I was absolutely ravenous last night after a day with no dosing.

I plan on doing a full P3, but I really want to squeeze another round of P2 in before I go on vacation in October. Some of the activities I have planned (hiking, riding) will be much easier on me (and the horse) if I'm even 10 lbs lighter. I know I should do a whole P4, but I really want to be lighter.

I also want to continue running through the phases this time. I do feel that doing a week 6 of C25k was difficult for me. I don't know how that will go...when I have been running I know that my legs are building muscle.

Yes,but to already have lost 109lbs.Wow.WTG That had to take ALOT of effort on your part.

[RenoMom]

Congrats Ladies you are all doing so well.
I'm down a pound so holding at 21lbs down so far. I'm happy with that, it's my own fault that I didn't stay 100% when sick. It messed me all up. Lesson learned.

[MellaBella]

OK, so VLCD1 for me. I gained 1.2 lbs loading, I thought it would be more.

Had my first dose this morning but nothing to eat yet. Figured I'd wait until I really feel hungry before I eat.

Need to go downstairs and take my 3.5 oz package of chicken out of the freezer!!

Congrats on all the great releases today

You know I can not wait to make a mocha malt in the morning! I used to drink them every morning, but the hhcg spray I was using specified no coffee or mint so I've had no coffee the entire P2! I plan on having some bacon and my mocha malt, yummy!!!

Surprisingly I was very content yesterday and today so far, but I've been eating lean protein 3X a day so I think that's helping me feel full.

I read in P & I that some alcoholics (NOT saying she is!) did so well when given hcg (lost their craving) that when they were done they actually purposely gained their weight back so they could go back on hcg for alcohol cravings.

He'll never let us go it alone!!!

Me, too, me, too! I love Jesus! I have about 40 lbs. to lose (depending how much preloading I do in the next couple of weeks:blush and am premenopausal and fighting roughly 50 lbs. for 30 years, so I hope I do as well as you did!

What's the big deal concerning where we buy our HCG? Second, when I get to Phase 3, will I be able to drink alcohol again? Thanks everybody! All are all great and I just can't wait for my darn drops to come in the mail so I can get started losing too!

Wine is what I am looking forward to adding back in in P3, BUT I have read to proceed with caution. After doing a round of hcg your body reacts differently to alcohol. Even with just a glass or two the next morning could be BIG hangover Haven't had one of those in a long time!!!

I now wish I would have gone on to P3 sooner, I wasted too much time trying to make a goal number . Enjoy your P3, but take it slow.

I will definitely remember this when I get impatient to lose it all NOW!

Did you feel hungry when you started back with VLC after your weekend off?


About 2 more weeks until load days start. Unfortunately I have doing a bit of preloading:blush: so I'm hoping I'm not setting myself too far back! Everyone is doing great, I am truly inspired!

Funny, the things that we think about eating first.

So...yesterdays weight, the morning of my last drops, was 179.8
Today was 178.6. And I have the "runs" this morning. "WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!!!" First, you can't go....then you can't NOT go!!!

Had my yearly physical yesterday. Dr. very happy with all my numbers. Having a mammagram today.

ON SUNDAY..... I have to prep for a colonoscopy. It's my first one. I am already worried about the PREP for it. SOUNDS DISGUSTING!!! So...I have a feeling that my weight will be UNDER the 2 pound leeway. ANY ADVICE FOR THIS?????


JAN

{{{Jan}}} You did great on protocol first of all! Congrats on your great losses.

My DH went for his first colonoscopy last year and he said the prep was the worst part of the whole thing. I don't think you'll permanently lose too much by doing the liquid diet only the night before and it will come right back. Hope it goes well!

[cookie34]

I lost nothing last night.. It is so disappointing! But, I did try on a pair of pants that I really had to squeeze together last week to even get buttoned and they fit.. No squeezing required. I am wearing them to work today.

They look absolutely hot this summer. They are boat people and wear skimpy clothing, if any at all!!, while in the yard. At least now when I look in their backyard I don't see that beer gut They have done very, very well!!! You might be surprised--at least I hope you will be.

What a bonus for you!!!!

I really do not know her too well. She is a neighbor and we really only used to get together at neighborhood parties. Sunday we had another neighbor over and he told us that her DH was out of town so we invited her for dinner.
She does drink a lot and nightly, I know that. I hope it works well for her. We are suppos to be walking every night but I had a nasty head cold Monday night and DH didn't get home to watch the kids until late last night, so hopefully tonight I'll get the scoop on how it's going for her.l
