Starting again.. need drops..real ones!
 

Lost well on my first round 1.5yrs ago and have held it..so Im ready to get going again.
Loading is out of the way..( gained 4.2) I just finished day one succesfully. So I thought I should jump back online with you all before I wonder around on my own and mess up..lol. ( like my last 2 sol attempts)
Now I have a bottel of drops that has about 1/3 left in it from some past failed attempts. I have used it threw my load and today. with looking at it I have about 3 days left. I am so worried about buying some that are fake.. Do you thing GNC is a reputable store ?
I would love to but cant afford the shots.

restarting again loading through Sun starting lo calorie Monday..Got the same drops I got the 1st time comes with amino acids and B vitamins I know nutrition sells them too so I won't mention the brand name I have spoken with the company on the phone with my zillion question and they have answered everything I asked...Last time 3 months to the day I started about 1/3 of my hair fell out..That was 2 years ago..Well the diet worked and I felt great so I am going to do it again...Taking biotin just hoping it works out better..

:hiya: Lorrie!!!! Happy to see you here :jumpjoy::jumpjoy:

GNC doesn't have the hcg with the hormone in it. I therefore don't recommend those. I suggest you get the ones from Netrition. I hear the pellets are great! If I needed some more, I would go with those ;) I am hoping this is my last round and I won't need anymore, but if I do......Netrition is where I would go, as everyone else has changed their formula to contain no actual hcg.

:welcome: It is good to see you back too :jumpjoy::jumpjoy: Glad to see some familiar names. Good luck to you. I am only on VLCD#2, so I hope to progress nicely with y'all. I have re-started this round I cannot even count how many times :doh: and Easter is only next week. I need all the help I can get :stars:

starting again
 

Hi I'm new to this website and I have done 3 or 4 rounds of HCG but I have struggled with maintaining 20 lbs, I graduallyl crawl back up in weight, what do you use to maintain your weight and keep it locked in after losing?

adeline---that is my struggle too. I have lost weight on hcg just fine. It is the keeping it off that I am lousy at. I really want to stay at my LDW, but it is a big struggle. I am on another round so I can get back down to my goal of 115 (was there 2 summers ago thanks to hcg) and this is what I have planned for keeping it off---I am going to do P3 just as Dr. Simeon's says with the no starch and no sugar but then for P4 I am going to do a diet called JUDDD. It is not so much a weight loss diet per say, although others do lose weight on it, but you can use it to maintain. It is very successful for those who have done hcg and that is why I am going to try it. I am doing a re-start to my latest round, so you have company in re-losing weight!!

We will be here cheering you on alll the way!:clap:

Hey there lady! I was thinking of you when I was posting my question. I should have just private messaged ya instead a starting a new thread :) Nice to see ya familiar face. Lets rock this. Think I might look into those pellets. Hmmm.. Thank you sooooo much for the advice. Money is tooo tight to waste money on bad drops.

Just looked.. are the pellets you ae speaking of the ..Intermountain HCG
HCG Pellets ? for 27.99 If so..how long do they last? I rememebr the drops costing more...

Yes, they are the Intermountain. I have not used the pellets, but I do know that others have used them with great success. I don't know how long they will last. Hope someone on here will jump in and let you know. I was going to try the pellets the next time I needed some hhcg, but hoping I won't need anymore. I have heard that some do better with the "no hunger" on the pellets so that was why I was willing to try them. I am experiencing hunger and don't like that. It is causing me to go off plan and I have to stop that!!

I have not weighed myself all week and while it is killing me to NOT know how much I have lost, I don't want to know the actual numbers. I hope this makes sense. I can totally tell I am losing because I can see it in my clothing. Just when I am ready to quit, I pull out my pants and they are loose. So I am hanging on by a thread---literally LOL. I will be here as long as I can stand it! And hopefully that will be long enough to reach goal LOL.

I'm not on the pellets, but I understand it is a 15-20 day supply at the suggested dosage. Good to see you again, Dawn. Although maybe I should say that as it means you are back here having to lose again! :)

intermountain pellets are my jam. they're great!

I use the pellets and they are working great for me. The ones netrition sells are a 40 day supply.

Serving Size: 3 Pellets (three times a day)
Servings Per Container: 120

Sounds like a great deal to me :high5:

Oops! My bad. I misread the size of the bottle. That's a great price for a 40 day supply.

I've been happy so far with the intermountain pellets!! I just bought 2 more bottles "just in case" but I'm hoping to get to goal on the bottle I'm using. I think they are a bit more stable than the drops, especially if one bottle is used for 2 short rounds.

dawnyama,

What is JUDD, please. I am starting my next vlcd on HCG when I come back from easter weekend visiting my children. If I have a plan for afterwards, it will encourage me while I'm doing my round. thanks for your input.

No HCG?
 

Doesnt contain any HCG or HHCG? Im confused. I just bought a bottle of Intermountain HCG...did I waste my money??

Here is a thread:

Here is another:

And yet another:

These will explain all.

JUDDD is the Johnson Alternate Day Diet and there is a forum here for it. I will link it here:

JUDDD - Low Carb Friends

There is a book (The Alternate Day Diet) and Dr Johnson has a website. Just google for it!!

Thanks for the link.... I am going to look at JUDD too.
Dawn....awesome you started before Easter.....I was not brave enough, so I will be starting the day after.

Thanks for the advice Dawn. Mine arrived today....here we gooo!! :jumpjoy:

Im so glad you posted that. I was so excited about getting them that I ripped open the box and didnt even read the directions . Is it still the under the tongue ?

Hey Sweety.
I know this subject has been discussed a thousand times...Vitamins
I am going shopping tomorrow and cant remember ther exact list. In your unbelievable wealth of knowledge ..do you happen to know a link that spells it out from a-z Exactly what is needed? That would be sooo great. Dont wanna miss out on anything and feel yucky.

Thanks :))

For all vitamins, try to get capsules (or gel caps when not on P2) instead of pills. Pills do not dissolve well in the digestive tract.

Potassium - citrate or gluconate, 200mg-800mg, split dosage morning and evening (start dosage low and increase if experiencing leg cramps or tiredness)

Magnesium citrate - 200-800mg per day, evening (start dosage low and increase if experiencing constipation or leg cramps)

B100 vitamin - Multi B vitamin

B12 - methylcobalamin form, 5000mg-10,000mg per day (more bioavailable than cyanocobalamin), morning. Sublingual tabs or liquid are good but watch for sugar in the ingredients

Iron biglycinate - 50-200mg per day (less tummy troubles and more bioavailable than other forms of iron), split doses, morning and evening (start dosage low and increase if experiencing tiredness)

Optional:
Glutamine - 500-1000mg (for carb and sugar cravings)
L-carnitine - 1000mg (for energy)
Acai berry - 1000-3000mg (for fat burning)

I'm a bit of a vitamin geek. :o HTH

Thank you Sooooooo Much!!! :goodpost: Your wonderful my dear.

definitely take biotin...and don't take vitamin D because its fat soluble

Biotin! :doh: THAT'S the one I forgot! Blame it on the early morning! I take 10,000-15,000mg of Biotin daily on P2, split doses morning and evening. My hair has never looked healthier!

I have added it to my list from above..thanks!

wow good thing I read this thread woke up this morning with leg cramps I'm off to get potassium
