    This is a place to ANYONE who wants to be in the 140's, or is in the 140's and LOVING it!

    I am currently 153.8 and I am just stretching my arms to just touch the 40's!

    I don't think I have been in the 40's since I was 19 or 20. I am 29 with 3 kids, 5'6. My starting weight loss journey began in Feb of 2009 where my weight topped @ 220!!!!!!! I was flabbergasted! I never thought that would be me. I started running and eating VERY healthy, and 2 months ago plateaued @ 165-167. Nothing I did would budge me. When I say running, I am a marathon runner. I have completed 4 half marathons in the last two years, and a series of 5-15 K's. Nothing was helping.

    So, hCG was my answer. I started it at 169, and VLCD 13 I am down 15.2.

    But I tell you, those 140's are hard for me to grab!!

    You are not alone....I am at 151.8.....I am so excited to see the 140's. I'm 41 with 2 kids that are now teens, 5'5". I lost about 30lbs in my 30's and got down to 142 using Atkins but have since gained it all back hence my reason for doing HCG. That resetting thing was very intriguing, I wanted to live my life and be able to eat the crust off of a piece of pizza from time to time. I know I can't go back to my old way of eating but still would like to fit in to the real world from time to time.

    I started @ 191.8 with a goal of 140 but now after reading all the post about p3 would like to get down to 135 just to have a little more wiggle room. My last p3 was great but who knows what could happen on r2.

    I too, have the 140's dream :)

    I started out at 219.8 on January 9th, 2009. I lost about 40 lbs on my own in 6 months, but it plateaued and I got discouraged and gained about 10 back. Started HCG on Aug 19th, 2009 and am currently in round 2. I set my goal for 155.8 this round and this morning am 155.4 with 7 more days to go!!! I have always said my ultimate goal was 145. Now that I am 10 lbs away, I am also thinking that 135 might be where I want to be. My last p3 was a breeze, so I am hoping for the same. I can't even remember the last time I was where I am now. I was 171 the day I got pregnant with my now 17 year old son! Crazy.

    I will be taking a break and trying p3 and p4 thru then end of the year, and then hopefully doing a final round Jan 1st for the last of it......

    Good Luck girls!! We can do this!!

    I can not wait to be in this 140's club. I am doing another round in January to get there.
  1.  
    That's my goal too, 140. I was 140 for most of my life. Once I had kids I would stay around 160 then be able to diet and I got to 130 2x but the weight slowly crept back up to 140-145. Then I met my current husband and my weight just skyrocketed. It went from 130 to 188 my heaviest. Went to WW lost 30lbs but couldn't afford to go any more and the weight came just back on. Went on a diet that was high protien and a long detox. I found out I had food allergies then, gluten. Quit gluten but my weight came back to 188 again. So for last 7 yrs I have gone back and forth from 188 to 160. Right Now I am at 159.2 :) At least I broke the 160!!! I am having a hard time stabilizing but I am staying in the 160 not going above 162 So I am ok with that. Hopefully the next round I will be at 140's. I too would like to go to 135 so I can settle at 140 but I don't know what I am going to do right now I only planned on doing one more round.

    Hey welcome all you 140's!! I am so glad I am not alone!! gjpayne05, if I can get close to 135 I would love to be there too!! But I will totally be pleased with 140.
    Let's be encouraging and there for one another as we reach our goals!

    Kanyenk, I'm so glad you started this thread! I just hit 155 and the 140's are definitely in sight. My goal is to be 140 by then end of this round. I started at 166.2 (highest ever weight). I'm on day 14 of the drops and am absolutely loving it - aside from the occasional hunger and cravings. I weighed 143 about 3 years ago and I know it's a weight I can be happy with. 135 would be amazing, but I don't know if I can do it. I might do another short round after the first of the year to see what I can accomplish.

    Good luck to all!! May the 140's become a reality sooner rather than later. :)

    Hello all, today when I got on the scale I was pleased to see that I had finally reached the 140's! yay! Today is suppose to be the last day of my HCG drops (then I do the 3 days w/out the drops and move on to phase 3), would it hurt to continue the drops for another few days so I can loose a few more pounds and then move on to the next phase? I am scared that I would mess the protocol up, please any advice is appreciated! I'm glad to be part of the 140's with you!
    Thankful People: kristi3782

    Avahlyn..

    Are you on homeopathic drops and how long have you been on them in this current "round"?

    Generally, the rounds are 23 -43 days, with the 3 days of VLCD after.

    skygdss14 - Yes, I have been taking the homeopathic drops. Today is my 20th day for the round of 23, so technically I should start the "3 days after of no drops" tomorrow. Will it hurt to go a few more days with the drops and THEN do the "3 days after"?
