Thread: P2 Poor results...help

Hi Grammy,

This is my second time trying the HCG diet. The first time I did well, I lost 17 lbs. However, this time my results a re very sluggish. The first time I had less weight to lose. I am 5 feet 4 inches, and the first time I went from 138 to 121. I fiqured I was close to a stable weight and finished losing. This time is much different. i was ill and whatever I had (never diagnosed) Made me gain weight. I was a startling 159 when I started this diet. I did not eat poorly to gain this weight. In fact I kept a journal to show doctors and they were all perplexed. Some was water, but they put me on meds to lose that. I have exhausted doctors. In fact I spent 2 weeks at the mayo clinic and they said Fibromyalgia and something else not yet diagnosed. They checked my thyroid and adrenals, all normal.

Anyway. I was sick of the weight gain and feeling like crap so I took back control and decided to go back on this diet. I thought back about how people on this diet that have had medical conditions improved so I was hopeful. So 13 days ago at a weight of 159 I started again. I do real HCG drops. They come already made. I am much fatter and usually you lose fat faster then. I am at 152.1 today. Yes I have lost 6.9 lbs, but that is minimal compared to past experience and what the diet says about the more you have to lose the more that usually comes off.

I DO NOT CHEAT. I weigh my protein before cooking, no exceptions on condiments. In truth I do not use anything but sea salt and that is pure. So my diet has been quite bland. A small price to pay for what I want. I chart everything and avoid foods that make me have poor results (example I cant eat shrimp or cabbage, they make me gain). I even use just pure apple cider vinegar on my salad, none of the recipes in the book.

I am at my wits end. I have never been this weight in my life, and can not lose it. I have gone from a size 4 to a size 14. I can not look like this. I have started some light toning, like sit ups, and walking but that is it. Also, I am a nurse and I am well versed in what I can and cant do. This diet is fine for my health, and I read all products and watch everything I eat.

Please help me!

Thank you,
