How Many Big Girls Are on This Forum? Weighing Over 250 Lbs?

[Carol-Marie]

@Sondancer, CONGRATS!!!! -4! NICE!!!!

@Thanks so much again Moongazer! I did more than 40 days but I was doing hhcg so do not know who doing the real thing will affect. I know the concern by the experts is to get kind of inmune to the hcg.

@Kandy, WOW, MAJOR accomplishment!! Congratulations!!!!!

@Pspalin, glad to hear you are stabilizing; enjoy P3!!!

AFM, -2.2 today!!! I am so happy!!! I am drinking all my water & prepared quite a few of my meals, so it should get easier this week. Tomorrow is small group night again, so we'll see what's in the menu!

Happy Losing everyone!

Carol, how many days did you take your drops?
Yaaaaaaay on the pounds gone and good luck tomorrow on your night out with your foodie friends.

Well, I think I got my dose figured out - hunger wasn't too bad yesterday - I guess today will tell. Either way, SO happy with my loss. 10.4 lbs in 3 days, even if I only lose 1/2 lb a day from now on, I'll be happy!

First day of P3...Very excited about this. Love greek yogurt and can't wait to start adding things to my diet. So happy Was up a little 200.2 but I am not going to get crazy about it. I saw 199 and I am happy.

If I am not mistaken I did close to 60 days cause I kept on pushing it to see if I could lose a bit more. And to be quite honest I will probably do the same this time. I want to lose as much a s possible in one phase before I can do the others & start all over. But that's just me! :-)
Thanks for the support, lets see how it goes tonight! :-)

Good Morning all! Today I am not sure if I had a loss or not cause my routine this morning was a bit different & had to do quite a few things before my regular time to weigh in & when I did (usually do it 3 times in a row to make sure), at first it was -1lb, then like -.5, then no loss, jsut the same. So, I am taking the no loss/same just so I do not get my hopes up and then results are different tomorrow morning.

At our small group tonight, found out the menu is chicken, brown rice & salad. DO not know if the chicken & the brown rice are going to be cooked together like a casserole so do not know what to expect. I will have me some apples before I go just in case & eat salad if nothing else & then have dinner when I get home. I fixed dessert (cake balls) for them (won't say flavor or any details/no cruelty needed here!!! LOL LOL) since is again, no hard temptation to me.

Well, gotta go now, have lot of work & a seminar to attend to.

Hope you all have an awesome losing day!!!!!

...Question. Has anyone ever gone 40 days or longer on P2? I'll be on day 40 when I stop and was wondering if that should be my cut off day or if I should go a little longer. I see some have gone as long as 60 days but I fear my body wouldn't like that. Opinions and suggestions would be appreciated...

Yes. I get a "40 day supply" of rx cream in a roll-on canister. I just go until the cream runs out, even knowing sometimes that goes a bit over 40 days. But the pharmacist might have gotten distracted or something for my last round--I think I went 57 days. If you decide to try that, also know the losses got real small those last days, so as long as that isn't discouraging to you. But after that 57th day, I was never so happy to say "Thank heavens I'm OUT of this stuff!"

OK here is the news. I am now offically in ONE-derland. On the scale this morning was 199.6 YEAH. I started 97.4 ago at 297. I can not remember the last time I was in the hundreds. This is just a great day...

So happy for you, Kandy. I know how hard you've worked for it.

Hi - I'm doing injections, I tried 30 today, and it seems to be working a little better. Less hunger today. I am going to stay on this for 2 more days and if all is well, then just keep it there, or I guess figure out how to adjust. I am SO glad I found this forum - how could I have done this on my own!?!?!

Congrats on finding your "sweet spot" on your dose. I have often thought the same thing about this forum--it saved my proverbial butt. I needed a book, a doctor and this place to help me figure this out. Lone Rangering this thing is not a good idea.

I had to attend a work luncheon very early in my first round, and there I am with my apple and a gallon of stevia iced tea--and my fellow guests and hosts were trying to push the food like it was *crack*--not taking no for an answer--but then again, we live in the South with southern hospitality is taken VERY seriously. But they finally took "I'm on a program and medication" after uhm, five times or something. People from other parts of the country recoil abhorrently that one should have to say no so many times, but what can I say--it stretched my assertive muscle.
I will say, CM, you must come from another planet than I, because sweets are my thing! But I have learned to be more picky, meaning if I cave, it's not going to be for any old crud that comes down the pike. That's much easier to say no to. Does that sound familiar to anyone else?

Veggie, I know HCG comes in a few forms but I had no idea it came in a roll-on canister. Must it be used on a specific spot on our bodies in order to work well? Interesting.
I haven't had any problems with going out to eat as of yet....because I haven't gone anywhere where food was a problem. When I was doing Atkins I was terrified to go out because sure as the feet I walk with, someone would bring out the carb filled foods and I would start to sweat. It's only when my weight started to dropped did my friends show understanding. I would bring my own food on many occasions and not one person ever got insulted. Phew!

Carol, thanks for telling me of your experiences. After reading the board a bit more I think I'll push it to 47 days as oppose to my planned 40 days. I think that extra week might get me a few more pounds in to onederland which will help. I am so terrified of getting just through onederland's door only to slip back in to the '2's'. If I end this session weighing around 196 or lower, I feel I'll have a fighting chance. P3 has me still a bit concerned. I read that some lose while on it and other gain yet the idea is remain stable, hope I get it right and I hope I can get through P4 with success too. I'm still going to go back to using HCG once I go through all the Phases the way it is meant to be so as to correct my hypothalamus setting.

Great news Kandy....you're in onederland. How does it feel? I can well imagine you are so happy. I'm happy for you!!!


Great to hear you found your correct dosage Pamela. I found that using 10 drops was too much for me and I'm better with six. I would imagine it's the same with injections as well. You just have to find what works for you.

AFM....still at 202 today but I sort of thought I would be given how it's been moving along so far. Maybe tomorrow I'll see a drop. As long as I am giving this my all I can't beat myself up when the scales aren't moving down but instead I just have to wait it out.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
