Thank you so much!!!!

**Chrijodo** · June 9th, 2009, 09:54 AM

Well I lost today

I lost the weight I had gained from the cheat and lost another 0.2 lbs on top of that. YAY! 3 injections left..

**texasbeauty1982** · June 9th, 2009, 09:59 AM

OK, OK, OK...Im here...Im just pulling my hair out and stressed and PMS'ing (yes, Im actually having a da*mn TOM grrrrr)

I stopped taking phen and hcg altogether for now, until I can get my head back on straight...If Im not going to put my all into it then Im not going to waste it ya know?

I also started school again and Im taking 3 classes (9hrs) in 4 wks...which adds up to 13 exams, and 3 finals...so that averages out to a little more than 3 exams a week!!!

plus Im stressed at work for cutting my hours and I HATE being on TOM becuz I get all depressed and sensitive on it lol and yea, so Im hoping in the next 3-4 wks to get back on phen and the hcg too maybe but as of right now, my life is a chaotic mess and I am back to having no time for a life so its all on hold until then!

**Chrijodo** · June 9th, 2009, 10:03 AM

OK ladies, I lost my copy of the HcG recipe book. Can someone send me a copy again??

**bratface** · June 9th, 2009, 11:29 AM

Chri - please pm me your email address if nobody else sends it to you. I'm determined to find and print out that recipe book today.

Tex - good luck next time around. Are you going to try again after this 4-week class binge? TOM ****s!

Welp, yesterday was day one of VLCD for me and boy was it weird. I was going to the bathroom every 1/2 hour it seemed. I'm normally an absolute diet pepsi addict and only drank 3 yesterday. Usually it would be 8-12. Today I'm shooting for only 1 or 2. I definitely felt some hunger but not overwhelmingly so. I was more disturbed by the feeling of emptiness in my stomach. I drank tons of water.

How much HCG are the rest of you taking? I know Mo said she does 175 IU. Does anyone only do 125 IU? I started my doses kind of weird. Knowing it takes a few days to get in your system my first few days I dosed the following: 250 iu, 225 iu, 200 iu, and then 175 iu today. I haven't decided whether to stay at 175 iu or keep going down to 125 iu and only move up if my hunger stays/gets out of control. Any thoughts on this?

Good luck to everyone today!

Ooops, I almost forgot to add that my weight went down 5 lbs exactly... to 178.8 from 183.8. Yay!

**Monicole82** · June 9th, 2009, 11:54 AM

Good morning ladies!!

So this is my first day on the vlcd. I need some lunch suggestions because I didn't have a chance to cook lastnight.

Please help!

understandable, but everyone has basically answered your ?'s all through the entire thread, you just have to read, if no one answers you, try reading, not asking the same ? again.

**maliax3** · June 9th, 2009, 12:22 PM

Chri- no problem, let me know how you like them!!!!
TEX- welcome back, and good luck with your studies
MONI- you didnt cook anything at all????? I would go to mcdonalds or somewhere and just get a plain grilled chicken sandwhich, and dont eat the bread or anything like that. Get a side salad, NO dressing, and eat the lettuce, and nothing else that is in the salad.

**Monicole82** · June 9th, 2009, 12:39 PM

Thanks Malia!! You're the best. I am so going to cook tonight.

**jayjaysmomma81** · June 9th, 2009, 01:31 PM

Hi everyone,
well I don't want to sound like a broken recorded and repeat all questions that others have ask about HCG. Anyway, I"ve read all of the posting in this thread. But now I have a question. lol. Can someone tell me what I need to get and what place I can purchase from. I'm going to be ordering the HCG book from amazon today. I've been on phen for about 3 or 4 months now and lost about 25 lbs and 25 on my own from it but it's been a slow lost. So I have a remainder of 30lbs+ to lose to be at my goal weight. I've gained nearly 80 lbs when i was pregnant with my son. Also, if possible can you give me more information about HCG and what diet plan is followed with this. Also, what are your results from it and was it easy to follow. Thank you.

**anadingding** · June 9th, 2009, 01:43 PM

YEY, Tex Im glad you posted! Your still alive! LOL

I hope everything gets better for you.

Malia- Girl so when are you going to see your weight? Im so excited for you because it seems like your doing great.. And we started around the same weight, but you have way way past me! That shows who has more dedication! LOL

**maliax3** · June 9th, 2009, 02:09 PM

ANA- i wont know until my last shot that way I know how to eat on P3, I know we have to stay within 2 pounds of our last injection weight as far as gaining but that counts with losing right???? Like what if I lose 3 pounds from my ending weight, what do I do, gorge??

**MO-chic** · June 9th, 2009, 02:15 PM

OMG- Its been like 5 days since Ive gotten to get on here!!! Things have been crazy from sun up to 11pm like every day. I have 3 days til I get to P3. I actually got into the 280's FINALLY! I hope you all missed me. I havent read the post for the past days so I need to go back and read em. LOVE Y'ALL

**MO-chic** · June 9th, 2009, 02:18 PM

BREE- Its Ok. I think most of us keep our loss updated in the spot under out avatar. At least I do.

TEX- DANG GIRL! Can you ever get a break!!

**ASU89** · June 9th, 2009, 02:25 PM

Thank god MO and Tex are back!

**MO-chic** · June 9th, 2009, 02:30 PM

I know! I cant believe Ive been gone so long. I even missed our hundred page mark. BUMMER!!

**maliax3** · June 9th, 2009, 02:51 PM

WELCOME BACK MO!!

**BreeBabby** · June 9th, 2009, 03:14 PM

Thanks mo! :]

i started my TOM today, and im just now ordering my stuff today lol.. im pretty sure it wont be here in 6 days. dang it. I think im just going to do the injections during my TOM anyway, im excited. ive gained like 5lbs this past week (two or so from period im hoping lol) i just cant seem to start my phen back up. i dont think im going to. im just gonna wait it out till i start HCG. :] my brother & sister are doing it with me lol Im excited to see our results :]

does anyone workout during this? i know it says to walk for an hour a day,
but im wondering if i can do the elliptical (jog/run) for 30minutes instead?

Also: i was talking to a clinic that does HCG and the lady said the only thing lotions and makeup does to you is add an ounce or two. its not like youd gained actual weight from it? does anyone know if this is correct? i dont think i will stop wearing it either way

**MO-chic** · June 9th, 2009, 04:00 PM

THANK YOU!

BREE- If most of your make up products are farely oil free then you'll be fine but waring make up and using lotion that has a lot of oil or mineral oil will make you stall and sometimes gain. Im glad you have some people there that will do it with you, the daily support is really what helped me more then anything. I think any kind of light cardio is fine while on the protocol. Its the weight training that they advise to stay away from.

**BreeBabby** · June 9th, 2009, 05:12 PM

I know im glad their doing it with me. I dont think ill have a problem sticking to this. maybe giving myself the shot but not the actual diet. when i get motivated i have self control. I did the master cleanse for 15days. Didnt eat or drink a thing, im sure i can do this for at least 30 lol.. i hope! i really wanna loost a good amount of weight :]

i feel so gross today. im wearing shorts and im bloated from my TOM.. there goes the self confidence i was slowly gaining. ughh. my husband made it worst. I got out of the truck to go tanning and there were these two guys looking over at us, and honked. i got a smirk, and said "how embarressing' and hes like their not honking at you its my truck.. rudeeee huh?

**jayjaysmomma81** · June 9th, 2009, 05:20 PM

Mo,
Hi! I just recently read thru this thread and thinking about trying this. I have 30 lbs more to go and the phen is starting to not work for me. What kind of lotion can we use, i get try skin fast!! Also for work out, could I just run if so is there a limit? I'm training for a 1/2 marathon. Thanks.

**Grrrl** · June 9th, 2009, 08:02 PM

Hey Bree -

I used moisturizer ONE time and gained half a pound! I didn't think it contained oils, I guess I was wrong. My advice - stay away from creams, lotions, makeups (except the allowed ones) for the first few days, then one at a time start adding different products and see if they affect your weight loss.

Also, I think I remember you do hair? Did you see this in the protocol?

Dr. Simeons stated that most people find it hard to believe that the fats, oils, creams, and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed into the body and interfere with the weight reduction by hCG just as if those ingredients were eaten. This almost incredible sensitivity to even such very minor increases in nutritional and caloric intake is a peculiar feature of the hCG method. Simeons found that persons who habitually handle fats, such as workers in beauty parlors, masseuses, butchers, etc. never show a satisfactory loss of weight when using hCG unless they avoid all contact with the skin of such fats and various products.

Good luck with it!!!!!!

**BreeBabby** · June 10th, 2009, 12:40 AM

Grrl- do you think he means just lotions and oils and stuff or hair products? ughh this is going to piss me off i cant loose weight. i mean i can go without lotion if i have to, h e l l i can go without makeup.. but i CANNOT go without hair products. i look like a boy! lol & i got to have my hair done if im trying to do other peoples hair. hmm.

**MO-chic** · June 10th, 2009, 01:46 AM

BREE/JAY- Dr Simeons wrote his protocol a very long time ago and back then they didnt have oil free make up and lotions. I use Arbonne lotions, makeup, and I tan so I use Cal tan products. All of which dont contain any mineral oil and are great for your skin. AND I have had no problems with stalling or gaining using them and I use them quite often.

JAY- I think the running is fine. I wish you luck on the marathon and I also think it may help with your loss.

**MO-chic** · June 10th, 2009, 01:52 AM

OH BREE- HAIR PRODUCTS ARE FINE!!! I SOO cant go with out them either!

**MO-chic** · June 10th, 2009, 02:41 AM

Ok so I went back and read and scanned the last few days and I have a couple of comments.

BREE- On the sublingual hcg.... You have to take twice as much every day ( the same amount that we take only in the morning and at night) and from what I've heard from ppl who did it, it doesnt work as good, plus if you get hcg from a doc weather injections or sublingual it will cost you out the butt. Online is the best way to go. Seriously the insulin syringes are a total breeze.

MAL- I really dont consider P3 similar to atkins because, isnt atkins only protiens and fats? On P3 you can eat anything you want except starch and sugar. You can have veggies and fruit and diet pop and whatever else. As long as you stay away from the starch and sugar you should be totally fine on P3, thats all I did my first time on P3 and I stayed pretty much the same. I mean I would gain a lb or two and the next day lose it but as long as you stay within 2lbs up or down your doing good. By the time I ended my first P3 I was lower then my end weight. My second time on P3 I didnt stay away from the starch and sugar like I should have and BOOM I gained 12lbs which took me 21/2 wks to get off so its mega important to keep up with that. I also think its even more important to keep daily track of your weight since you need to stay within that 2lb range.

**maliax3** · June 10th, 2009, 11:52 AM

Morning gals- still losing, still eating the noodles as well. For lunch I plan on making shrimp scampi, so I will let you know how it turns out!!

Dang! I knew it! I thought mineral oil was ok! No wonder!

I had bought a hair growth aid for my hair growth challenge (waist length by oct) and it had mineral oil in it and I thought it was ok to use bc I thought mineral oil didn't penetrate the skin.

I will have to stop immediately.

Please tell me this ends in P3.

Wow 12? Over what time frame? Was it a number of days or in 1 day?

Since no sugar or starch - i guess that means no alcohol? I have a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne that I have been saving for the fall holidays- does this mean I have to sit and watch other people drink?

I have to find more recipes for P3. I need to find a way to make brownies, dehydrated chips, cake, pie, something using stevia and a flour type product.

OSHUN- It does penitrate the skin a little but then clogs up your pores but thats the problem. It acts like a plastic coating on our skin. Not letting the good stuff in and the toxins out. Our skin is an organ just like any other organ and needs to be able to function the way its supposed to and mineral oil keeps that from happening

**anadingding** · June 10th, 2009, 01:11 PM

Yeah mineral oil isnt good. Staying away from oil is only durring P2 but I would never use anything with mineral oil anyway since its so bad for you.

I gained that 12lbs over the course of a 3 wk P3. No alcohol. I have had a glass of wine 2 times since starting hcg and its wasnt that bad but you definatly dont want to be drinking a lot or very often.
