Anyone with 100+ pounds to lose had success with HCG?

natesmomma99 · 09-24-2010, 07:57 AM

I know on Atkins people with more to lose usually lose at a faster rate than those with only a little to lose...have you found this to be true with HCG too?

I have (had) about 75 to lose according to the doctors "charts". I am losing at a fantastic pace (in my opinion). I set my standards pretty low because altho' I love Atkins and was losing, I was STUCK and could NOT for the life of me break my stall. So, I chalked it up to me being a slow loser and thought I would only take about 10lbs off with hhcg. however, w/Hhcg I am losing so fast in comparison. yesterday was day 16 for me and I have lost 14.5lbs....I just hope it stays off

I've been stuck on Atkins for about 6 months, and it was just getting harder and harder to stick to plan knowing that it wouldn't make a difference either way.

14.5lbs in 16 days is great! It took me about 3 months to lose 14 lbs on Atkins, and I had to work haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard for it. Very low carb, very low calorie, and I was just turning into a miserable person.

It takes determination and focus when doing vlcds especially with everyone around you (my family) eating good stuff but the time actually passed quickly enough.

Aside from the weightloss aspect of doing hhcg, i like that i can go back to atkins (with more allowable fruits

) which is really my fav way of eating

I lost 60lbs on atkins then for 7 months my weight went up and down the same 5/10lbs I started HHCG and lost again this is a godsend, I am just sorry I didnt find this years ago!

You are going to be shocked and pleased with the results this plan brings

the average person loses .6lb a day most people lose alot more!

I lost about 100 lbs on Atkins 7 years ago and have maintained i pretty well staying LC. I gained back about 10-20 over the past 2 years. I was working on it, exercising, following LC, and still couldn't re-lose it. My body was very happy at that weight, but I wanted to be back down to 165ish. I'm on day 19 and have lost 20 lbs from my load weight, and 15 from my preload. So, I'm pleased and very happy with the results so far. I'd love to lose 2 more by my last VLCD which will probably be Tuesday, but we'll see.

I decided to give it a go, as I can do almost anything for 3 weeks. It's been hard, but worth it! Not sure how round after round works for others, since this is my first one, but I think you'll be pleased.
