Valerie...I am 31 (29 to anyone who asks though!), 5'7" Was 229.6 at the beginning As of today, 195.0... I am on my 3rd day after the cycle but I think I will do just the 3 weeks of P3 and 1 week of P4 (as long as I am stable) and then jump back into another course! I started out wearing a size 22W/24W and now I wear a size 14 NO W!!!!! OMG I just couldn't believe it when I slipped them on and was able to button them without any problem. I have been wearing baggy cloths since Day 1 and am graduating Radiology school this Friday so my mom took me out shopping for some nice cloths. I was so blinded that I started with a pair of Size 20W in the fitting room and was amazed when we ended up leaving the "Plus" cloths section and heading to the "...I don't know what you call it section cause I haven't shopped there in 12 years" section...LOL! Anyway, I am ecstatic to wear my new cloths for my ceremony and show myself off! I am still wearing the baggy cloths till then so that I don't give anything away! Oh!...my goal is 135-145...my prepregnancy weight 12 years ago.
I am Linda. I am 5'3" (really, honestly used to be 5'6" throughout high school but I have shrunk; okay it's been 37 years...Yikes! Did I say that???!!!). I started at 171.6, size 16, on February 14th, 2009. As of yesterday, I have lost 26.4 lbs. and now weigh 144.2. I weigh in later in the afternoon, after I wake up (I work graveyards, and need to get to bed shortly). I'm just sipping my Oolong Tea before retiring. My ultimate goal has been 125 lbs., but I will see how I feel when I get there. In theory, I can go lower, particularly if my skin tightens as it is alleged to do on HCG. So, I am considering maybe 115 lbs. Plus, I do BodyFlex, which has an awesome face and neck excercise as part of the program, and quite frankly, if I do say so myself, for a chick who's going to be 55 on July 28th, I'm looking pretty darn good (just need to get the weight off:-) Oh, if you don't know what BodyFlex is, look it up on the 'net. In a nutshell, it's a system of deep breathing and isometric excercises. Check it out, if you're interested.
I started in January 2009 at 182 pounds. Completed first round with a loss of 26 pounds and 34 inches. I then lost 2 pounds during P3. Started second round April 2, 2009 and today have lost 16.8 pounds. My current weight is 141.6. My goal is 125. I'll probably get to 135 by the end of this round and will wait until after the summer to do a final short round to get the other 10 pounds off. I'm very happy and excited I found this wonderful substance.
Joanna. . . I am 36 and 5'6" Was 149 before load 152 after Today was 130!!! I'm absolutely dying to see it drop below 130. I haven't seen 12? in 10 years!! Today is day 37 in a 41 day cycle. My goal was to lose 34. I wanted to be off the diet by the time my daughters got out of school, but plan to do another round when they go back to school in August. I'd like to lose another 20.
Michelle...39 years old, 5'7.5"(used to be 5'8"-where does it go???) Started at 252 lbs. Lost weight before starting hcg diet, 24 lbs from January to March but then wasn't losing no matter how dieted or exercised everyday for two months. Started program and gained 4 pounds on load days, day 26 of shots have lost 25.8 pounds, down to 206.8--my goal is 130 so I have at least two more rounds to go. Looking forward to getting under 200, then 170 how much I weighed before I got pregnant with my second child, got down to 180 before 5th but then blew up again, 150 when I got married and haven't been 130 since college. So excited about this program, don't think I could do it any other way.
I started at well over 300 lbs. I had a goal of health, looks and feeling better. When I first started I had a goal of 240 lbs, but the closer I got to that well, I just readjusted my goal.
I have reached my better health and I feel tons better and most all my health issues are gone, now it is for looks and overall well being and the best health I can have!
stephanie- 41 years old, i am a shorty 5 ft 4 inches. I have tried everything, been fat since grade school.I even had gastric bypass 9 years ago. Top weight 289, got down to 198 for my wedding, but have slowly gained over the years. Had been maintaining 238 for the last couple of years (how i managed to maintain such a high weight must be from my stomach stretching out after the surgery) For some reason in 2009 i actually gained 12 lbs. Scared the shit out of me, i actually hit the 250 mark. That is my start weight. I will never see that weight again. I am on day 18 and i am 238 now. So 12 lbs in 18 days Weight before HCG- 250 weight now- 238 goal is anything under 170. My husband met me when i was just about 200 so anything under that is new territory for him. Havent been less than that in decades.
29 yo female 5'4" Very muscular - I was a 12 at the start. I started at 173lbs. Was down to 160 after the 1st 25 day round. started 2nd round 9 days ago have lost 5 lbs do far - down to 155lbs.
Total weight loss: 18lbs
Goal weight 130-135 - we'll see, I will probably need to do one more round after the current round, because I don't seem to lose weight as quickly on the protocol as others - even though I am waaaaaaaay strict and stick exactly to the protocol. But I am very happy with the HCg diet - I have lost weight much more effectively than other methods - I had managed to get from 185 to 170 over 2 years following a more traditional diet.
None of you know me, but I have been following this forum for many months! I'm Kim 43 y/old 5"10 started @ 213 and am now at 158!!! Was a size 18 almost 20 Now a size 12...my goal!!!! One week into phase 3 after 3rd round and hoping to keep this momentum going! Thank you all for your honesty and wonderful advice!! Good luck to you all!
