Thread: !! Spring Starters !! (end of March early April newbies)

I might have to try that chili, I like chili but not beans so that would be perfect. Dh loves chili.

I have come to the conclusion that HHCG just isn't working for me beyond a mild appetite suppresant. My weightloss is the same on protocol, rogue, etc, just bounce around the same weight (not a previous set point). That would explain the nightly pain too if I'm not producing HCG and I'm only eating a few hundred calories. No wonder my muscles are screaming in pain from doing anything. Almost a round in and down 8lbs is not the results I expected from HHCG. I could have done that on any plan and better. I'm kicking around the idea of switching to RX but haven't decided yet. I think that's more money then I am willing to pay when I don't know how it will work for me.

I'm not saying HHCG doesn't work, it definitely does, Dh is doing fantastic on it and so are many others, I just don't think it works for my body. Maybe it's because I've been pg 5 times or maybe it's because ????? Not angry, not whining, not even having a pity party. Just trying to figure out where I go from here.

Down 0.8 today! Finally some real weight loss after a 7 day stall! My goal was to be in the 140's by sunday. I think it will be close!

Did you try giving the real program a real chance, AS WRITTEN, no tweaks, no shakes, no breaks, no rogue?

You've jumped on and off and followed like nine different approaches in the three weeks we've both been at this.

Just sayin'

I'm actually on time today. Hopefully, my schedule has slowed down which is must needed. The scale showed that I was down 1 lb. today. I'm very happy with that. Keeping motivated to get to the 10lb mark. That would be so awesome!!

I bet you are so relieved! Congrats on the weight loss

The majority of my time on this plan has been as written. Eliminating a food you do not like is NOT a tweak it is in the protocol, not sure why you insist you have to eat everything that is NOT the way the plan is written. I had ONE yes OMG ONE protein shake, the horror of it all. LOL

I took an interuption which again is in the book and ate the allowed foods for an interuption per protocol. I had one day of double protein but it was a day I worked a lot so that was not rogue since protocol says to up your protein on those days. There have been 2 rogue days one day I used olive oil to cook my chicken (lost weight that day) and yesterday I had 2 apples and a steak.

So before you start over exaggerating and claimining I am jumping on and off protocol get your facts straight. Just sayin'

Amen to that! This diet is a character builder. I will tell you that after last night, watching my guests eat yummy things I couldn't even touch, I realized I am much stronger than I thought I was. We are ALL stronger than we think we are.
