~~ Rogue HCG/hHCG plans for week of June 25, 2012 ~~

[Nicole T]

Hello all you wonderful ladies! Yep, I'm back again. I totally screwed up my third round and never stabilized and now my weight is just going up and up and up even though I'm eating the same exact stuff I ate after my second round when I stabilized great (basically Paleo).

Soooooo, here I am again for a 4th round. My first two rounds I got as low as 163 but both times I settled right around 170. After 1 day of loading, I started this round at 181. Today I was already down 3 lbs to 178. So it's not horrid but I'm still frustrated and determined to not play around with the whole Fat Fast thing this time and NOT have ONE drink in P3 (this never fails to bump me up about 3 lbs when I have a few in P3 and then I can never get it back off!).

The only change I'm making this time is that I'm also doing a green juice based off of the juice recipe from the movie Fat, Sick and Almost Dead. It's pretty much all legal veggies and fruit and I spread one drink out throughout the day to give me energy and help with hunger. My juice has 6 leaves of kale, handful of spinach, 1 cucumber, 1 apple, 1/2 a lemon and a small piece of ginger. I'm not eating any other carbs and just doing a veggie and a protein for lunch and dinner. I was a little over 500 cals yesterday but it obviously didn't hurt my losses.

I also saw that my local apothecary carries HCG 1234 brand drops so I thought I'd try them since the last two times I have used the Intermountain pellets I was STARVING for the first 10 days. I am LOVING the drops and having NO hunger on day 2 (and I only loaded for 1 day and didn't even load well at that!). Makes me kinda mad that I didn't try a different brand before and suffered so much in those first 10 days with hunger Oh well, at least I found a brand that seems to work for me!

I see ya all around

Thank you!!! I was thinking I was losing it...hahahha. I am very glad you are getting some labwork done at least. Hoping for some answers for you

I'll be able to view the labs myself, so maybe I can make some sense of them, even if the doctors can't....

I thought you were feeling better! Well, I'm so glad you are going to get things checked out. I understand your lack of faith in Dr's (BELIEVE me I do) but sometimes we just have to go to them. Please tell us how it all goes. We are right behind you 100%.

I think you've got more than enough posts to qualify for a signature line. Under "control panel" there should be an option on the left hand side in that list that says "edit signature." If it isn't there, I'd contact the Admins and ask for their help. Could just be a glitch of some sort.

[minimonkey]

Holy cow ... and I do mean COW -- I got on the scale, and I really AM up 15 lbs since ending my last round. I've done a perfectly clean p3. Something is really, really wrong.

I'll check back after the doctor and let you know what he has to say. I hope they take this seriously.

[minimonkey]

Cheryl -- I did think I was feeling better yesterday, but this morning I felt worse, and I was terribly swollen up. TOM is terrible today, too

Let's hope the doctor can do something for me.

[tay65]

I'm really glad Noah's scans were good! Yayyyy!!! Doing a happy dance!

[EmBee]

Dazygyrl...I read in a post somewhere back you have a different cocoa crack recipe with Protein powder in it...can I have it??? Umm and I know this is totally off topic, but you make your own lotion??? So cool how do you do that??? embeesplace@gmail.com if you can send me the recipes I love trying different things

[RileyWorm]

Carrie great news about your son! I don't quite know the whole story of his situation so apologies but this definitely sounds like good news!

[minimonkey]

EXCELLENT, Dazy! I am so glad your son is doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted doc updates in the other thread (the Atkins after HCG one) -- don't care to repeat all that here... but the doctor thinks my fluid retention is probably because I am "drinking too much water." I'm serious. They did run some tests, though. I am not a happy girl right now.

[pendragginp]

Oh, so happy to hear good news about Noah! YES! Thank you God!

[tay65]

mini, i drink tons of water and often wonder if I drink too much. Especially since I stay in the house most days and don't exercise. I'm glad he ran tests though.

Oh my goodness not rude at all!!! Very cool!!!!! I tried to research how to do soap but it looked a little intimidating. I can do liquid hand soap and laundry detergent...LOL . Can you share the choco delight or do you sell that as well?

[EmBee]

But on a positive note I dropped a whole pound!!!!!! 231.2 wooo hooooooo. Here is what I have been doing.

Breakfast: 1 Egg (usually Brown /cage free etc) 1/2 piece Ezekiel bread
Black organo gold coffee with Full Fat coconut milk and stevia

Lunch : 5-6 oz meat (after cooked) 1 cup veggies (precooked) and 1 fruit serving (I cut back on the portion size).. I piece of coconut something ..chocolate delight or truffle
or Protein shake (Hormone free from Swanson Vitamins) with Fruit in it, coconut milk and veggie on side

Supper: 3 large handfuls of salad, 5-6 oz protein (after cooked) 1 cup veggies (pre cooked) and I am omitting the Fruit in the evening. And 1-2 pcs Chocolate delight or truffle....UMMMMMM
LOTS OF LOTS of WATER (1/2 my body weight in oz) ...Plus if I am a little ummmmm "stuck"...smooth Move peppermint Tea before bed.

This is actually the plan I followed from the beginning but it had fruit in the evening which I cut out ....wooo hoo I am so excited!
