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

**BackToMe** · April 21st, 2009, 12:40 PM

no one has sent me the cookbook yet....I'd still love it!

purchase emailer @ gmail .com Just take out the spaces and voila! Thanks so much! I just want to make sure I have *everything* in terms of food, supplies etc. If I don't have everything planned I'm gonna fall off the wagon! I'm also preparing myself mentally and telling myself that anything I want will still be there in 40 days and that I am not going to suffer going for 40 days without a food. I'm totally addicted to food! Any other mental preps help you? I'd love to hear them!

ASU...I hope today is a better day. Hang in there. You are doing an AMAZING job!!!! It's just a battle that you are GOING to WIN!

**Itzmarzipan** · April 21st, 2009, 01:01 PM

You are a fox girly! What an inspiration! Hubby would die if I were that gorgeous! lol So can I ask for the cookbook as well please??? i t z m a r z i p a n @ s b c g l o b a l . n e t

I feel like I'm watching some good reality TV when I read about all of you on here!

**anadingding** · April 21st, 2009, 01:07 PM

Ok I will make the sacrifice and try something different! LOL yeah I ordered everything a few days ago. I ordered everything seperately like ASU suggested. I got confirmations that some was shipped out on April 18th so I'm waiting.

I also have another question Does everyone skip one day of injection? What about the time of the month. Can I keep injecting eventhough it says not to Okay that was two questions LOL!

**Briggetta** · April 21st, 2009, 01:18 PM

Cookbook mailed to Itzmarzipan and backtome. It is password protected but the password in in the body of the email.

Today I freakin gained .4 UGH!! I dunno why...I didn't cheat at all but I didn't drink a lot of water either.

AUS - Keep your chin up...you have done awesome! I always want to eat eat eat the day before my TOM. Hate that...lol

**Itzmarzipan** · April 21st, 2009, 01:22 PM

Bless you, Brigetta!

**sheemy05** · April 21st, 2009, 01:26 PM

Need help now did not start my hcg today need help with dosage i want to do 200 i.u a day but my syringe has units from 10 to 100 units and the whole syringe measures 1cc ml.

**BackToMe** · April 21st, 2009, 01:32 PM

Thanks so much! I got the book!

**Briggetta** · April 21st, 2009, 02:09 PM

sheemy05 - have you mixed it yet or do you need help with mixing?

**Briggetta** · April 21st, 2009, 02:24 PM

If you have a 5000 IU ampoule of HCG and you want to do a daily injection dose of 200 IU. You would mix 5ml / cc of water with your HCG. On the syringes you have you would withdraw the mixed HCG to the 20 and inject that amount daily. That would give you 25 injections of 200 IU HCG.

Try going to hcgfatloss.com to watch a mixing video.

**sheemy05** · April 21st, 2009, 02:46 PM

So 20 would be good out of the 100 units ? Is it too late in the day to start today ?

**ASU89** · April 21st, 2009, 02:46 PM

WOW! I gained almost 4 lbs this morning... from eating pizza and TOM. Oh man.. I really s u c k. Tomorrow morning is my last weigh in so lets see if I can get it down.
Texas, next time I am FOR SURE doing 23 days, that will be such a breeze.
Briggetta, that is weird that you gained. But you're right, it's probably from the water. Don't worry that will be gone tomorrow!

Yeah, 20 on an insulin syringe is 200 units. You want to start first thing in the morning, so I would start tomorrow.

**Briggetta** · April 21st, 2009, 02:51 PM

You do not s u c k . I am sure that most of your gain is water from TOM. You didn't eat 4 pounds of pizza...lol Maybe another apple day will help you. You will lose more I am sure befor you are out of P3.

I am drinking water like mad today, so glad I am not working cause I am so peeing like every 20 minutes...lol

I would start in the morning 1st thing. And enjoy your 2 gorge days.

I might do the steak day a lot in P3... I'll do it like twice in a row and see if it makes me lose both days... cuz I need to be in the very low 160's before this next round! Thanks for the encouragement.

**Itzmarzipan** · April 21st, 2009, 04:50 PM

I saw a lot of gossip several pages ago. So, has the site started requiring a script to order as of yet?

**greeniz22** · April 21st, 2009, 05:25 PM

twenty pounds is fantastic!! Take it easy on yourself - sometimes slower is better. You will do fantastic. You are gorgeous just the way you are!! Enjoy this body and slowly go to the next phase. Trust me - 8 years at this weight has been frustrating - but I have gotten used to this body and enjoy it. I am just ready to get into the one hundred club!! Enjoy p3!!!

Thank you greeniz.

You will be in the 100's in nooo time! I'm excited to see your progress!!

**Oshun** · April 21st, 2009, 05:37 PM

Hello All,

I would like to receive one of the cookbooks.

oshunbaby@gmail.com

I have one question.

I know that you are not supposed to use oil products or touch oil products, but what about sugar products? Are they banned as well?

I use a lot of "kitchen" ingredients in my hair - like honey and agave nectar to condition. I am wondering could I continue to use the honey at least.

**greeniz22** · April 21st, 2009, 05:37 PM

one more question for you pros - In the protocol it says no seltzer - but I thought I read in this forum people add the flavored stevia to seltzer as "faux paux" soda. Am I mistaken? Is sparkling water the same as seltzer?
I am a diet soda junkie and have drowned myself in it the past two days lol. Also - tonight is "wing night" at my local pub. Since this is my 2nd gorge day, Im gonna go live it up! Since it is gorge day, can I have an alcoholic beverage??? lol

Also (and sorry for all the additions), i tried to put my pic in my profile, it doesnt show up. I clicked an avatar and it does show up. When I click on the avatar and my profile comes up in a different screen, the pic is there!!! WTF!!

Also - is anyone interested in seeing my 400 pounds to 250 pound pics, or should I just start with my 250 HCG starting pics? I look totally different (MO- wait till u see your transformation from the 300s to the 200s!!)

Even at 250 I can wear a size 16 jeans. I have tons of clothes - including business suits from sizes 22 to 28 - if anyone is interested I can send them (or I am donating them soon - lol) no more bigger sizes in my closet - never going back. If intersted email me at my address below

Hugs xoxox

**Itzmarzipan** · April 21st, 2009, 05:59 PM

Show us all the pics already!!!! I love pics! They're the best motivator, wouldn't you say??

Sent! Sugar products are banned, yes. The only "sugar" allowed is Stevia.

I am not sure about the seltzer, sorry.

Definitely live it up tonight! I would say yes on the alcohol, but don't go too crazy with that.
Okay, to change your picture follow these steps... Click USER CP. On the side you will see "edit avatar." Scroll down and click "use custom avatar." Then click "choose file." Once you clicked the photo you want, click "save changes." That should fix your problem.
DEFINITELY SHOW US 400 LBS TO 240 LB PICS!!!!!!!

**Chrijodo** · April 21st, 2009, 06:46 PM

ASU---- You and me both my love you and me both. I was HORRIBLE at least half the time I've been on this dang diet. My TOM showed up on Sunday and I have not lost 1 iota of weight since the 14th.

It's okay. I've decided I'll try my best until the end of the round and then next time I'll do it right. And like you, I'll be doing the 23 day round instead of the 40. How long do we HAVE to have between rounds? 2 weeks? 3?

**Oshun** · April 21st, 2009, 08:10 PM

Thanks ASU,

I really appreciate you sending that to me. It really clarifies a lot about the phases.

Is there anyone who has done the smaller injection amounts? Like 125 or 150?

**Oshun** · April 21st, 2009, 08:12 PM

Ok, so TOM makes you stop losing?

Or does it just appear that way because of the water weight?

**KoiOne** · April 21st, 2009, 09:16 PM

Briggette, I gained 1 pd over the weekend and I have not cheated once. I think I did not drink enough water. I was down 2 pds today and have drank about a gal of water today so I am looking forward to the am weight in. Good luck.

Good luck to all the newbies. This diet was harder than what I thought not that I could not do it hard but the first week is a tuff one at least for me. Keep yourself busy. I am down 23 pds in 24 days. I have not cheated once. Makes sure you drink plenty of water.

**Chrijodo** · April 21st, 2009, 11:11 PM

Oshun... can make you appear to not lose weight because of water weight but really shouldn't make you gain weight I don't think (unless you cheat).

**Chrijodo** · April 21st, 2009, 11:11 PM

PS--- I went shopping today because I had 1 pair of jeans that fit... I AM NOW IN A SIZE 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS ON THE SIZE 12!!!! Wow, thank god I am not alone. Next time I am definitely going to give it my all. 150%. I can't BS around anymore. I think the 23 day round would be so much easier than the 40 day, don't you think? Um... Okay, don't quote me, but the book says 6 weeks. MO is doing 2 weeks between all of her rounds. I'm going to do 2 1/2 weeks (17 days) because this round that I ended today I was doing 200 units. MO was only doing 175 units (I believe) so she will have less of a chance of immunity, which is why I'm waiting a tad bit longer. Anywhere between 2-3 weeks I think is fine. For HOPEFULLY my 3rd and final round I will only wait 2 weeks because I'll be done after that (cross your fingers)! Really just whatever you think you should do. I'm getting nervous because tomorrow I'm on P3. I know what to do, but while doing it I want to lose at least 5-10 lbs before this next round... Yikes.

No problem! I don't think anyone is doing it that low on this thread... but MO I believe is doing 175 units. 125 and 150 is perfectly fine though! Less chance for immunity.

Today I unexpectedly received TOM and I got some cravings and gave in. I ate a medium thin crust sausage pizza all to myself. I feel so disgusting. I was a 166.2 lbs a few days ago, then gained almost 3 lbs from the IV's in the hospital. I lost 1.8 today from the apple day... now I know I'm going to gain that back PLUS some tomorrow. Tomorrow is my last day I'm doing VLCD then I'm going to do no starches and sugar, and really stick to it. It just depresses me how much I have been playing with HCG and messing with it to the point that I have only lost 20 lbs in the past 39 days. I know 20 lbs is still wonderful, but I was expecting to lose at least 30 lbs with these 40 days. After tomorrow I am going to do no sugars and starches and try to incorporate more exercise into my daily routine. I'm going to start my second round on May 9th and I hope to try to lose weight on my own until then. I really hope I can be 160 by my next round... Ugh. I just feel so s h i t t y right now.

ALL that and you still look great!!!!!!!

**ASU89** · April 21st, 2009, 11:56 PM

Haha, I beg to differ. LOL but thank you Roguelyn!

Did you get the cookbook I sent you?

**hizboo** · April 22nd, 2009, 12:16 AM

I'm just checking in... Seems TOM visited everyone or about to this week. That's why I feel like CRAP! I did the elliptical today, but barely. So I was down .6 today (lowest yet). So I am 201 even today--I hope I get to the
100's this week and TOM doesn't stall it.

ASU, girl you did great! DId you enjoy the pizza and swallow it whole?? lol....just pick up from there and lose it! You came all this way and you know what to do to get it off. Work it.

Can't do my usual roll call...I feel like I am about to pass out. I'll holla at you chikas later!

Thanks for clarifying that! I was about to get worried.

And congrats on your loss!

Thanks for that. I wanted to know how much I could get out of the 5000IU. I am going to see if I can get my mixing supplies locally because I don't want to wait for the shipping. I found one pharmacy that sells the bacteriostatic water and they told me no without a script, but I have a friend who regularly gets antibiotics from another pharmacy so I will ask if I can get it that way. It only costs about a dollar and some change locally.
