Thread: April 2011 Loaders

I started my 2nd round today - the fat loading days. Had a fried chicken salad w/ranch and the fried seafood feast for dinner complete with loaded baked potato and hushpuppies. My first round wasn't as successful as I'd hoped, I lost 12 pounds in 26 days and the weight stopped coming off, but I didn't load properly and I cheated. I have kept those 12 pounds off, though - for 2 months without even trying and I eat whatever I want. I will not be cheating in round #2!

My goal is 30 more pounds. That'll put me at 135-140 and I'm 5'1'' - size 8 for me. I'm looking for a BMI under 30, too. But I feel like crap right now - too much fried food and I just want to go to sleep. Good luck, everyone!

Hello to all!! New to this forum and to the hcg. I'm doing the liquid drops and have started them along with my first day of "loading" today, finishing up with the load tomorrow. All I can say is UGH! UGH, for now I cannot even think about eating any more food, let alone another day of this I plan on only doing this for the 3 weeks as I only want to lose about 10-15 lbs (depending on where these load days put me). I KNOW I will need all the support I can get from y'all as I work with a bunch of gals who feel the need to bring in baked goods daily and also fill up a candy bowl each morning. *sigh* Heaven give the the strength to walk past all these temptations!!

Hi Balltania,
You and I sound like we are in a very similar situation. My starting weight is 181 and and I am only 5'3" so I need to lose probably as much as you. I'm loading today and tomorrow and am doing the rxhcg sublingual. Looking forward to following your journey!

Paula: YOU CAN DO IT! I will be rooting for you - and the other gals on here.
My story: Did HCG back in October - lost 17lbs. My husband got diagnosed with Leukemia on the last day of Round 3. AMAZINGLY, I managed to stick with it and keep the weight off. Clean Eating and LOTS of exercising with weights have been the two things giving me sanity the past few months. My goal is to compete in a figure competition now. I have one more round of HCG left to do to rid myself of the last of the fat. I have been working my butt off these past 4 months but my thighs & butt still won't budge (the affects of a very obese adolescence). So I am hitting it hard one more time. I am loading today and tomorrow and start the VLCD on Monday. I have a 3 year old, my husband is getting his last round of chemo in the hospital, and we are moving in 4 weeks - WHAT COULD GO WRONG, right? I have become an expert at managing stress these past 4 months. My goal is to get my body fat % to 17 (I am 19.3% now) and to lose the last 10-12lbs. Because I have been SO good about eating clean, it is VERY hard for me to load this time. But I bit the bullet, ate 4 spoonfuls of peanut butter, some of my son's macaroni & cheese, 6 homemade granola bars and some macademia nuts. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Excited to finally get down into the 130's (which is my goal).

How are we all doing today? It's my final day of loading and I'm really looking forward to getting started tomorrow as I don't think I can eat anymore 'bad' stuff today...never thought I'd hear myself say THAT, lol! Today I need to figure out the profile part of this board so that I can post my soon-to-be losses

Load Day 2 today. I have not felt good all yesterday and feeling slightly better today...I had diareah(TMI) all last night about every 30mins to an hour. That has gone away since about 8-9am this morning, and I am hoping it doesn't come back. Im not sure if the diareah is a normal side effect or because I had my gallbladder removed in 2005 so can't handle too much fat.

Does everyone have a meal plan set up for the next few days? I did my shopping yesterday and got a good bit of stuff to eat, so should be set.
