Anyone starting today for the first time? 11/13/10 - Page 8

Lil Donna · 12-06-2010, 03:57 PM

Molly, you want to hear a real kicker?

I've maintained 147 somehow while I was waiting for my drops. I went back on the drops Friday night. Today I got on the scale and I was 149!! ON THE DROPS!!! CRAZY! How did I maintain at 147 while not on drops and not eat that great but going back on the drops and eating well, I gain 2 freaking pounds!!!! I don't understand!!!

I would definitely not be freaked out about .4 pound because you know you will drop it tomorrow. It could've been water. Who knows! You've done a tremendous job! I didn't even think it would be possible to lose as much as you did! Now you've raised the bar for everyone!

Be proud of yourself!!!

CurveControl · 12-06-2010, 05:21 PM

Thanks Donna, I am feeling better about it. You would think it would have motivated me to do better with water today but I only got abot 40 oz of combined water and coffee.

I am sucking a bunch down before I go to bed.

mereby · 12-06-2010, 08:21 PM

hey ladies! I have been away for a while. I was off the hcg for a week or so since it was tom. I ate EVERYTHING in sight or so it seemed. I even had fried alligator, french fries and TWO sweet teas on Sat. The good news is I only gained 2 lbs from my week of weakness. Took my first shot (half dose only 1 ml) yesterday and was down 1.6 this morning! Tonight I am already less than I was yesterday (granted its only by .3 oz) so I am so excited to do my weigh in tomorrow. I am down 9.6 since Nov.15 start date. Not as much as I wanted BUT lets face it, Thanksgiving I gained 4 lbs and then last week...well lets just ignore it! I am going to Universal on Friday and I am shooting for 165 by then. This morning I was 168.6 so there is hope!!!! I hope that my next round of shots will be here next week so I can start back full force.

I have been drinking Caramel Vanilla Creme coffee with just a touch of milk and some Truvia to curb , or attempt to curb, the sweet desire. Its not too bad but its not a peppermint mocha frappacino from Starbucks!!!!

mereby · 12-07-2010, 03:14 PM

whoo hoo down another 1.2 today *happy dance* also found out my next rd of shots should be here on Monday. YAYAY!!!! orange ginger chicken for dinner.....hope its yuuummmyyy!

Lil Donna · 12-07-2010, 03:25 PM

Congrats Mereby! That is awesome weight loss.

I am back down to my safe zone of 147. Hoping for some budging tomorrow!

And Mereby, that's great that you only gained 2 pounds while off the drops!!

I was in Florida for a little over a week and was not taking drops. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted and probably too much and am back on the drops starting last night.

I was a little hungry today but ate protocol and am hoping for a loss tomorrow. But I know I need to up my water intake...

not if it is less than 14 days.

I am on to P3 tomorrow. Didn't take any drops yesterday and at 166.6 I was exactly 18 pounds down as of LDW (Tuesday). I did lose another .6 yesterday morning to bring me to exactly 166, but no change this morning so I have a little wiggle room on my P3 window. This is y last day of 500 cal till the new year YAYYYY!

arbycat · 12-09-2010, 08:12 AM

Down 2.2 pounds after my first full day back on the drops - YEAH!!

Are all of you doing the 23 day cycle or is anyone else, besides me, planning on doing the 40 day??

Congrats! I am taking the drops but not following protocol at all! Unless you count Wendys fries as protocol! I really don't know what I am doing right now.
I try to be good but then blow it at some point in the day. I think I'm doing low carb but not really.

I am maintaining at 147 with the drops. These new drops seem like they do nothing for my hunger. They are GreenWeb and I know Molly you take these with great success! I am sooo disappointed right now.

I will do drops til Sunday and then go off til the new year and hopefully follow protocol for the full 23 days. I need to realize that this could be the diet to end all diets and I must do it correctly once and for all.

I am interested in looking into this too. I've never heard of the pellets before.

CurveControl · 12-09-2010, 09:25 AM

If you google pellets they are the ones in the blue bottle. LOL I don't lnow that they have a brand name because I have seen them in 2 places that the bottle looks the same, same HCG and same amino list.

CurveControl · 12-09-2010, 09:42 AM

I found it~They are Great Lakes brand.

arbycat · 12-10-2010, 10:15 AM

I never know where to buy the stuff from and want to try the pellets, too! I looked up Great Lakes and just got stuff about the Great Lakes <lol> - can anyone PM me where they purchased pellets and if they're happy with them?

So down to 261.4 today. I had really been hoping for the 250s but hopefully tomorrow. EXCEPT today is the office x-mas party and I'm sure I'll eat some stuff that is not so great for me. Plan is to not eat anything except possibly a protein shake until the party at 3 and then not eat dinner. Hopefully the scale won't be cruel to me in the morning!!

Nope--cannot PM sources either as that is against TOS. Just google "Great Lakes hcg pellets" with the quotes and I am sure you will get hits.

You could also google Vox hcg pellets there will several hits that you can find for them.

arbycat · 12-10-2010, 11:38 AM

Thanks!! I've been pretty happy with the HCG Fusion from this site but the pellets just seem like they'd be SO much easier.

arbycat · 12-12-2010, 09:17 AM

Well only down .4 pounds today. Had been hoping to get into the 250s but scale stuck at 260 - hopefully tomorrow! But figure that is still pretty good. 20 pounds so far in 27 days and 8 of those days I did not take drops and ate whatever I wanted. I'm starting a new way of doing things now - going to do the protein and veggies (no melba or grissini or apples) 6 days of the week and then have 1 day where I can have whatever. This week it was Friday since that was the office x-mas party. Next week it'll be Saturday for another xmas party, then will do xmas and new years eve. This way I get to eat normal on the hoidays and still hopefully lose weight by eating vlc the rest of the week!
