HCG Injections..15 pound loss in ONE wk, can this be????

**MO-chic** · March 16th, 2009, 06:23 PM

THANK YOU!!! I know I hope it goes fast. If it works out the way Im planning I will have lost ALL my weight before spring next year. I JUST CANT IMAGINE!!!

**MO-chic** · March 16th, 2009, 06:25 PM

MY aunt and uncle who live in California told us that when we lose it all they are going to send us to DISNEY WORLD FOR A WEEK! Thats almost more motivating then being skinny! Then again, I want to be skinny when I go. So thats triple the motivation.LOL

**ASU89** · March 16th, 2009, 06:36 PM

Haha! Ah yes, I love little motivations that kick you in the butt a little harder. My mom said she would buy me a whole new wardrobe. That would be AMAZING because I love clothes, and never got to be able to wear the cute things that only seem to be for skinny girls! I can not wait to be at my goal weight and just go crazy clothes shopping.
P.S. MO, I lost 2.6 lbs yesterday. I lost more in 1 day than I gained for the 2 gorging days!!!! Not too shabby for a beginner, huh?

**dhawkins** · March 16th, 2009, 08:05 PM

Hey everyone!! I have been reading you all posts and I see that some of you all ordered after me and got your HCG befoore me. I ordered from drug delivery .ca and I have not received it yet. But today I did get my supplies I ordered from health warehouse.com. So I am one step closer to starting. All I need now is my HCG. You all are so motivating. I am looking forward to sharing my progress.I did not tell my husband I don't know how I am going to hide it. I think he will flip out if he knew what I was doing. I said if he finds the needles and starts to see me loosing allot of weight he might think I am on crack!! LOL!!

I want to start posting some pictures of me. can someone tell me where to go. I am clueless. Thanks again and keep us all updated on your progress.

**KoiOne** · March 16th, 2009, 08:48 PM

Hi, I can't wait! Mr Postman bring me a package or 3. I am so happy for everyone. This seems to be to good to be true. But I see it is working for so many. I keep reading. Please keep posting what you are losing.

**MO-chic** · March 16th, 2009, 09:07 PM

ASU- THATS NOT SHABBY AT ALL!!! THATS AWESOME

DHAWKINS- PLEASE tell your husband. He needs to know, Just give him reading material

**dhawkins** · March 16th, 2009, 09:15 PM

I really don't want to tell him. I know he will not approve of this. Especially since I am not under a doctors care. He will not go for it. I will tell him once I start seeing results. But for now I have to keep it from him.

**ASU89** · March 16th, 2009, 09:31 PM

I hope you have more than 1 fridge in your house! :P

**roguelyn1** · March 16th, 2009, 10:53 PM

can someone pm me or give me the quick synopsis of the 500 calorie diet and what i need to purchase to try this. I need the details and am a little lost. I appreciate help in advance. Also, do you know of any issues with people who have had a full hystorectomy or thyroid issues?

ASU89 I am a clothes junkie to but I can never buy exactly what I want because they are all for skinny girls! My Hubby said he would buy me a whole new wardrobe once I am at my goal weight so I am going to take him up on the offer and buy everything I have ever wanted in Forever 21!

I did buy a really cute dress in my goal weight size so I look at it everyday for motivation. I am really excited to start this diet I just wish my stuff would come in already!

MO I LOVE Arbonne! could you send me a book also?

**dhawkins** · March 16th, 2009, 11:52 PM

ASU- Your right we only have 1 fridge... WOW!! what am I gonna do? I have to think of something. Maybe i will tell him my doctor prescribed it. I don't really want to tell anyone yet. I don't want people to try to change my mind. I am going through with this one ay or another. This is our little secret.... SHHHHH!!!

**MO-chic** · March 17th, 2009, 12:08 AM

FANCY- I would love to. I think the easy way would be for you to look online at Arbonne.com and write down all the product numbers of the stuff you want and call me. I will PM you my number. There is a new line out that has some amaizing technology in it AND we are the only one in the states that has this technology, in fact there is only one other company in the world that has it. They have figured out how to extract the cells of fruits and veggies that are great for your skin, without damaging the cells. Its like putting an egg in vinigar for 48 days. It eats the shell away and leaves the membrain in tact so you can see the cell inside. Thats how I would discribe how it looks. But anyway, the cells are fresh until you put them on your skin, so its more bioavailible to our cells. The antioxidents in the fresh cells repell free radicals from our cells keeping our skin from aging. Its amaizing and it smells WONDERFUL. Its called the FC5 line. If you know anything about our cells and free radicals, then you'd know that our cells have a positive charge and the free radicals have a negative charge and they are like magnets. But the free radicals can cause our cells to not only be damaged but also go hay wire. And what causes cancer?? A cell that has gone hay wire. Scary huh!

ROGUE- If you look on pages 3 and four of this thread, there is all the info you need. But in the meantime check out Dr Simeons manuscript called "Pounds and Inches" It pretty much tells you what the diet consists of.

**MO-chic** · March 17th, 2009, 12:12 AM

DH- I hope it goes ok for you. That might be a good idea to tell him that the doc gave it to you.

**alykat06** · March 17th, 2009, 12:17 AM

Ok I have been trying to read this whole thread and it is just too long and confusing for me to understand right now. Could someone Pm me with all the info about hcg: where to buy, the good and the bad things about hcg..how to take it etc. Also I eat low carb due to insulin resistance so I do eat splenda when necessary and cut out most sugars. I cannot do 500 calories a day because if I do my body goes into starvation mode and I cannot lose weight..my body needs constant food in order for me to lose weight so I eat 1200 calories a day. Wouldn't the HCG still work though? I mean if it really helps than it shouldnt really matter how much my defecit of calories are right? I mean I already get a defecit of over 1000 calories a day. Thanks for the info. I need to get these last 25 lbs off and if I could do it before I go to Germany in May that would be amazing.

Your body would probably gain weight if you took HCG with a 1200 calorie diet. There is a very specific diet, with very specific foods. Dr Simeons did a 50 year study with what would work and what would not. The book says even if you add 100 or 200 more calories to the diet, you will most likely gain. That being said, no, a 1200 calorie diet would not work. There is a section in the book dedicated to insulin. I would read the book because you have a lot of questions. You can go back a few pages, I have listed where I bought my HCG. Everyone else seems to be ordering from there as well. There is not one side effect of HCG, and you can not over dose on it either. Also, you take daily injections of it a day.

**SouthernCharm01** · March 17th, 2009, 01:50 AM

Hello Guys.
I have been away for a few days due to the fact that I dropped my laptop and now my screen is completely black but hopefully it will be up and running @ full force pretty soon because I have gotz to keep up with my HCG Homies,lol but I recvd all my stuff to start on the protocol but I am waiting until TOM packs up his things and take a vacation for awhile....at least until next month...lhahahahaha....But ladies I just have one question though, where are u guys buying your foods from,like the melba toast and so forth and how are u weighing your foods or do u weigh them. Pls Advise.

Also just want to say congrats to all of u that just started the protocol and are already seeing the weight drop off and a big WOOHOO to all that have jumped on the HCG ban wagon and are just waiting on your supplies. Way to go ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be Blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SC

**ASU89** · March 17th, 2009, 03:45 AM

I bought my Melba toast from Walmart. I have never had it before - it's yummy! I am just eye balling 100 grams, but MO told me you can buy one for around $10 at Walmart. So I'm gonna have to go there to pick that up soon. GOOD LUCK!

**DoNiSe2009** · March 17th, 2009, 08:30 AM

I dont think I would be able to handle that 500 calorie diet yikes
does the shot not make you hungry?
or do you have to be on phen do not be hungry?

**Chrijodo** · March 17th, 2009, 09:47 AM

The shot does make you not hungry. It pulls your fat stores out into the blood stream so your body is getting plenty of calories and glucose to work with.

Oh and ladies.. I ordered from ADC today.. it'll be 3 weeks tomorrow so my HCG shipped from DD.CA and still nothing. Not even a tracking number. And they say I can't even file for a resend until it's been 25 BUSINESS days. I'll be interested to see if ADC gets here before DD.CA even though I ordered it 3 week later.

**dhawkins** · March 17th, 2009, 09:57 AM

Wow!! I can't believe that you still have not gotten your hcg from drug delivery. I ordered it on March 7th they did give me a tracking number. It said that it left Hong Kong on the 14th. So I don't know how long it will take because it does not give me a arrival date. So I will keep you all posted on how long it takes. But I guess I can be happy that it is on it's way. Hopefully I will have it by april 1.

Is anyone still taking HCG while on TOM? I heard that it is ok to take during that time.

**Chrijodo** · March 17th, 2009, 10:02 AM

Oh yeah I got a tracking number the day it shipped on 2/25 but as of yesterday when I checked the tracking info it still wasn't able to be tracked. 3 weeks later. Which means either it isn't even state side yet or it wasn't entered in to the postal service when it got state side. And from what I've read on the reviews on dd.ca this is a COMMON occurance.

I hope you have a better experience than I have with them..

**lmphd** · March 17th, 2009, 10:35 AM

Thanks for all the info because I have hit a plateau and need to get back to reaching my goal. I started in Oct. and with 1200 calories and 5 days of workouts I was losing an average of 2lbs a week. The past 3 weeks I lost nothing and actually put on 2 lbs. I do have an appt, with my Dr. and I hoping she will be able to up my dose or I will suggest this HCG injection. Right now I'm taking 30mg but I feel like it's not working for me. I'm getting depressed because I'm worried that once I'm done with the meds. I will fall into the eating trap again. I don't take the meds and wish it away I have been truly working hard with counting calories and working out. The past couple weeks I haven't been feeling well so I haven't work out as much. I need to get back on track and I need some major encouragement. What dose are you taking?

YAY Ally You made it over to the dark side!!! Havent seen you in a while! Anyways...You SOOO could do this (I am SURE you would lose more than 25lbs before your trip home) The 500 calorie thing is what makes SO many people turned off to this BUT you have to realize that your body is getting up to 2000 calories of stored fat everyday too... So you will not get hungry.. Maybe the first days but that is it. Also, the list of foods that are allowed are not that different from a low carb/low fat diet.... We also have to do 3 weeks after the injections are over of maintenance..we can eat whatever we want besides sugar and starch.... If we gain a pound we eat nothing all day and then that night we have a big steak and a tomatoe or apple...

SO it isnt a not eating type diet, By our fat being metabolized we are actually "eating" our old nasty fat a s s e s..... YUM

However, if you plan on doing another round, the book says, "Once you have completed one or more six-week rounds of Phase 2 and have lost the weight and reshaped your body to your personal satisfaction, then it is time to go on to Phase 3."

**ASU89** · March 17th, 2009, 12:07 PM

I lost another 2.4 today..... That means in 2 days, I have lost 5 LBS!!!!!!!!!!!

**Chrijodo** · March 17th, 2009, 12:16 PM

WOW ASU you are flying!!!! I can't wait to get the HcG in...

**alykat06** · March 17th, 2009, 12:47 PM

Ok guys thanks for the info. ok as long as my body wouldnt be going into starvation mode I see it being alright to have a 500 calorie diet..after all i really dont have much of an appetite but have to force myself to eat with phen. I would be concerned about coming off of the shots and having to eat normally again. And not eating all day and having dinner at night doesnt really sound healthy..my main goal here is to lose weight but do it in a way that I can manage for the rest of my life and be healthy you know. Thanks for all the info Sabine, I am def considering ordering it! Have you ordered or started it yet? I would also be exercising as well because I believe it only helps the process and here int he next 25 lbs I may be toning up more of my body and I would love to build muscle. ASU the site you ordered from, mychemist, how long did it take for you to get your supplies? I see a lot of ppl having issues with shipping with other sites and after trying to read a whole bunch last night my head started to hurt lol.

**texasbeauty1982** · March 17th, 2009, 01:03 PM

Ok Mo-chic....I have been on HCG Cream for 2 wks now...the gorge days I gained 2 lbs but immediately lost them within the next 24 hrs...and I didnt weigh again until yesterday and I am pissed....I went on vacation last week and didnt get back til sunday night...I did really good with my eating out there BUT there was one problem...honestly, 500 calories wasnt enough for my body doing as much vigorous mountain climbing and stuff so I ended up eating more around the 1000 cal mark...BAD IDEA...I honestly think that if u dont follow that diet to the "T" that you WILL GAIN WEIGHT...I weighed last night and not only did I gain back my 2 GORGE pounds, but 2 MORE as well...I am soooo aggravated...I am fixin to just buy the HCG injections next time too cuz idk if the cream is really working or what...I dont FEEL like my appetite is gone or lower...the phen did better than this right now...I am hoping that I gained becuz I didnt follow the diet exactly so the rest of this week I am going to follow it exactly and wont weigh either till next week cuz its depressing me...I dont need more stress than I already have right now...Whats ur thoughts on this matter?? Do you think its just cuz I ate too many calories or what??

When you come off the shots, you eat normally but without any starch or sugar for 3 weeks. 90% of the people that did this, lost the weight and kept it off. Seriously, please consider reading the book or manuscript online. It is unbelievably helpful.
I ordered my HCG Feb 25 and received it March 6.... 9 days total.

In Dr Simeons book, it says, if you eat even 100 calories more than what is recommended, you will probably gain weight. That is DEFINITELY the reason for the weight gain.
I would go with the injections next time, cream doesn't sound like it would get into your blood stream as well as injections would.
Also, they tell you to weigh yourself EVERY morning right after you rise and use the bathroom.

For the manuscript, the original protocol, Google "Dr Simeons Pounds and Inches" The first link should be to hcgdietinfo. You can either buy the book or read it online as well. It's by Kevin Trudeau, "The Weight Loss Cure They Don't Want You to Know About"

**alykat06** · March 17th, 2009, 02:20 PM

Thanks, I'll read it over tonight, I have already decided to buy it but this might help with any doubts I have.

**alykat06** · March 17th, 2009, 05:45 PM

OK, so I want to do this! Now the thing is that I go to germany in May, I would probably have to start the injections by the beggining of April after tom..well I would be going to germany May 21 and that means I dont have a way to eat normally since a lot of their foods are carb-oriented and I will not be a bad guest to my grandmother by being picky on what needs to be eaten. So I figure I need to stop the injections 3 weeks before Germany so I can get back into a normal eating routine...That would mean I only have a month to do injections..so I should do a 20 day round correct? I am just trying to make sure I get the rules right...ok so another Q I have that I saw mentioned in the transcript is not taking any medications or allowed makeup..I can deal with no makeup..I dont wear much neways..but medicines are crucial here..I have high blood pressure that I take medicine for, acid reflux, asthma/allergies..is it ok to still take my meds?
