ON P2! ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME.

[C'Marie]

@buttah, I'm 5'4.75" so not much taller than you! LOL. I have always been large boned and hefty size muscles, even when I was thin. I know I won't look the same as someone else at the same weight or even the same size, just the proportions that I am built. But I did hide the higher weight well, to a certain extent. People look at me now and don't guess my current weight. When I say I want to lose more I get told "from where?" but still I can see it very easily. Ah, well, and now the extra skin from being very overweight for very long - but I'm still motivated to at least continue to try!

[Bitsky]

Hello,

I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round starting Feb. 15, I'm doing the drops again. I didn't prepare for anything on my first round so this time I would like to be ready & do things better.
I want to eat proper loading foods for my loading days - any suggestions?

I am going to make a week's worth of food already portioned out for quick & easy meals - any suggestions for simple and tasty creations?
I haven't been creative with the veggies, usually get bored of the falvour and end up having a hard time stuffing them in. I would love to try beet greens or chard but have no idea what to do with them.

Also this time round I'm actually reading P&I, which contradicts some things that we as the dieters have come to discover about the diet and ways to tweak it to suit our goals/needs. That's fine because everyone's different but I would like ask what your thoughts are on taking vitamins during the hhcg. He says not to but I've heard others claim to take them, I would like take them because I would think the body could only benefit??? I did experience light headedness and headaches during my first round, which I read was normal but I wonder if there's something I can do (diet legal) to help with that. It just gives you the feeling that your body is really lacking something and I want to fix it lol. Should I just try to enjoy the weak and frail feeling till P2 is over?

thanks for everyone's time and thanks for having this thread!!!

So happy for you, C'Marie!

[C'Marie]

@Bitsky, I take my vitamins NOW - prior rounds I didn't because I wasn't good about taking them. I am having MUCH less headachy, frail, dizzy, wobbly feelings this time around. ALSO a big part of that I think was loading completely low carb. I stopped all sugars several days before I loaded. I had no sugar and only a teensy starch when loading (I had a few of those nut crackers to stuff cream cheese on top of - and they have a little rice flour in them) so I had almonds, avocado, olives, full fat cream cheese, sour cream, and Greek Yogurt, and lots of bacon. I basically almost did a fat fast. I highly recommend it.

@ME - down again! Woo Hoo! I'm at last round's LIW now big smiles today. I hope to get to the prior round's LIW before I'm done. (that was my low before menohell)

Mommy! You're doing grand!

@Buttah, thanks for being my cheering section! LOL

Hi all

I use coconut oil while I'm p2.( not original protocol) That seems to help me a lot. With my melba toast I've been adding cinnamon,stevia and a tiny bit of coconut oil. It's sooooo goood.

I stayed to same today as yesterday 186.2. I totally see the inches coming off, This round.

Yay! C Marie

[sillyme]

Mommy congrats i see the 100 pounds lost mark coming up for you really soon!

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Thank you I was over 300lbs after I had my twins. I was able to get from 312-285 with Atkins and balanced eating. So I'm at over 100 lbs lost in total. But I'm very very excited to almost be at 100 lbs lost with hcg alone! I'm so glad I found HCG

Don't be shy about it!! OMG!!! You have done so well Yay you!!!

[buttah]

Per my RX HCG clinic, I take vitamins as long as they're in tablet form (I guess there are trace calories/carbs in the gel caps, etc.), but no fish oil (as it's adding fat to the) during P2.

I use CO as a moisturizer (also approved by my clinic, much like Simeons was okay with mineral oil), but I do not eat it. That just seems risky to me. Seems to be okay for some, though.

Everything else, I'm by the book. Although I skip the melba and make up the calorie deficit with a bit more of approved veggies. Oh, and I sometimes mix veggies. Other than that, protocol all the way baby.

Oh, and I load high fat/protein with no carbs or sugar.

MOMMY, that's AMAZING!!!!

Wow Mommy that is fantastic Way to go on the loss. Keep it up, you are an inspiration

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Well today I hit 185.6 today so officially have lost 100 lbs with HCG!

Thank you guys!!! I'm so glad I have you low carb friends!! You guys have helped me a lot with all your knowledge and advice

[dawnyama]

Yay!!! Congratulations!!! what a great accomplishment.

[sillyme]

Congrats Mommy! I know what an awesome achievement that is and how hard you must have worked for it!

[wannabethin57]

Just wanted to introduce myself...

Ready to start soon!!! Ordered pellets, but the website said it may take 1-2 weeks. Hope not! I did one long round a couple of years ago and one short round. i managed to stay within 2 pound of lwd ? until recently! Gained ( 6 lbs.)over the holidays and then we had to put our beloved cat down and that has taken a tremendous toll on me! Having a reunion in April so maybe this will help give me some incentive. Looking forward to posting again.

WTG !!!!!!!

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Thanks ladies

Hi and welcome New people good luck!!

184.8 Sunday and stayed the same today. I really want some hummus and pita chips!!!! Sorry having mental cravings lol

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Still 184.8 I still feel the inches coming off. My size 14 jean jeans are hanging off me now. Nothing fits,its all way to big what a great problem to have.

[sillyme]

I've only been down ounces in the last few days, no full pounds
216.2
215.6
215.4
215 today
Its still down but a day or two of 1 or 2 pound losses would be nice to see again! I plan on doing the short round only and i'm starting day 18 today so hopefully it will kick back into gear soon and give me a reason to want to stay on longer than the short round lol.

Also needed to add anything under 215 will be virgin weight territory for me. The last time i saw 215 was in 2007 and only for 1 day before i bounced back up and never made it there again no matter how hard i tried with Atkins, don't get me wrong i love atkins it just wasn't working the same for me anymore which is why i ended up here!

[Eunytuny]

WoW.... I came across this site 2 days ago ad pout this post yesterday and read through all 12 pages of posts and what a journey you guys have been on!!! I feel like I have been on a roller coaster of emotion with the ups and downs (mostly downs). I am so please and excited to have met all of you (although you don't know me yet). This is my first post on the forum.

I am on my second round of hhcg. The first started at 182 lbs. July 22 of last year, did 40 days and lost 20 lbs. I didn't drink nearly enough water, seldom reached 500 calories and after P2 I was 162. On P3, I lost 18 lbs. without the drops so I did just about everything wrong (except cheating. I never cheated and stuck strictly to the protocol food-wise). I ended up at 145. I Gained again and started P1 at 157 lbs. on Jan. 26 and after the load was done, I was a 164.

I agree about you learn more about yourself when you are going through this journey. I love hcg. I am 38, 5'3", have a 6 year old and my goal is 120 whenever I get there.

So happy to have found you girls.

My husband had gastric bypass 3 years ago, and he started at 430 and lost 210 lbs, but they crept back on and he is now 250. I encouraged him to do hcg with me and he is doing reluctantly so I have learned my lesson that you cant push someone else into something they are not ready for. He went up 6 for the load and is down 8 right now.

Thanks for letting me get all that out there.

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Hi silly, welcome. HCG is my life saver! Is this your first round?

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Hi, euny, welcome back to hcg good luck this round. How long is your round?

[sillyme]

Yes this is my first round Mommy. I've enjoyed losing weight again!

[Eunytuny]

I am seeing a nutritionist who highly recommends the diet as the healthiest diet she has ever seen in action in her 20+ years of working with clients. She recommended I do 3 weeks on P2 and 6 weeks on P3 and back to 3 weeks P2 until I get to where I want to be.

Thank you for your welcome... you are a rock star.

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

Up .2 today toms in town. 185.0 . This always happens before I end a round. Stall then up and down. Come on 2/13!

Hope everyone has better luck on the scale today

Be back later

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

silly what has been your menu the last few days?

euny thank you


so today i am wearing my goal shorts and they are loose. They are a size 12. I was a size 22/24 this time last year!! I'm so happy. Its time to go buy more goal clothes. I seriously have to throw out all my big clothes, because they look just plain ridiculous now. I used to love big baggy clothes to wear around the house. Now it feels so heavy and uncomfortable.
So now to a size 9 no more double digits

[sillyme]

I'm not worried about my menu its basically what i've been eating from the start, an apple a day, cabbage with a bit of tomato and rotating between very lean ground beef and chicken, occasionally I have romaine lettuce or cucumbers and shrimp. I'm always very close on the 500 calories. I think TOM is on his way since i feel kind of crampy the last few days but as of yet nothing happening! I am still moving down on the scale just at a much slower rate. 214.6 today. Seems to be going down in 0.4's instead of 1's lol.

[MOMMYONAMISSION]

I was just wondering because on my last round tomatoes and lean ground beef all of a sudden started to slow me down
