I'm reading about a lot of weight loss through the phases; I would like to know / hear from some people on how long have you keep the weight off. I mean that is the real result that we are looking for? yes!

I'm still working on my own success story lol but I can share my friend's the one who introduced me to HCG. She's in her late 60's and started hcg 2 1/2 years ago. She was about 250lbs and wearing 22W-24W clothes. In 1 1/2 years she lost over 100 lbs and is now wearing a size 8 and has kept it off for a year. She is very happy and feels the best she as in years (also has a new, much younger boyfriend!) She can still enjoy foods in moderation, including pizza, potatoes, cakes and bread. She has actually started making a lot of her stuff at home so that she knows exactly whats in it, but even when she cant, she does amazing! she said last thanksgiving & christmas she only gained a few lbs total and was able to have a little bit of everything-and the 2 lbs came off with a quick protein day. Its very possible to be your own success story-but its also a lifestyle change. She now will have a small slice of pizza with a salad instead of 3 or 4 pieces of pizza.

My 4th break was 20 weeks. I had no trouble. :-)

I am not a success story, but I am back. Hi to everyone from the past.

I have had a very hard time with this diet yet here I am 1 yr after my first attempt and I weigh more than ever before AND I am going to try again! I have been lately busy trying to figure out medical issues that may have been the contributor to my weight gain. I have officially received a food allergy test and have found I am sensitive to Dairy, gluten, peanuts, processed corn and red meat. I also have been diagnosed with low adrenal sooooooo........ I asked my naturopath if I could try this diet again and she said yes. She actually does the diet at her clinic but since I already have everything but an empty vial from the last time I tried this diet and quit she said using my stuff was fine! That makes me feel SOOOO good because that tells me she is not in it to make $$$. The first place I heard of HCG was all about the Benjamin's so I am happy to be somewhere that cares about my health :) So I have not officially started this diet again yet (since I need the empty vial) but I plan on starting soon. I thought this could be help to some people who might have struggled like I did. Grammy, mgsondance, and Linda Lou I think you should remember me and my troubles. I hope this helps you guys as well in helping others :)

Thank you

I thought I would add that anyone having troubles losing weight while on the diet might try taking out the meat they are eating the most. If you search my username in the search you find all my troubles from when I did this. Mostly I just wasn't losing weight but I was also hungry and had many other issues. I am hoping and guessing the reason may be from my Red meat sensitivity. I was mostly eating bison and ground chicken. I am going to try this diet with Chicken and fish only and see if that makes a difference.

I also am going to try the lower calorie side of the long debate of "eating a lot of calories to reset your metabolism (Grammy pro) or eating normal amount of calories(mgsondance pro) during P3, I think. Since I already tried the eating a lot and gained.

Again I really hope this helps others who might have gone through the same thing as me.
