Thread: April 1st 2014 HCG'ers

Today P1 VLCD7, down another .4 lbs (total 5.2) whoohoo!

I could be disappointed I have not had a better loss as some of you are already down 10 lbs. However, Im stoked! I was not perfect on protocol a few small slips until 2 days ago I got it together. I've learned a lot by that. I'm not only losing weight, its massive inches! And most importantly I am learning to cope with my unhealthy relationship with food. Its like stripping down all my barriers. I'm vulernable to deal with my emotions without food. I feel empowered by this. Its the journey not the goal that I appreciate today. Thank you HCG. I've learned a lot about myself and can't image how amazing I am going to feel in the end. I will not only have reached my goal weight but I can see that I will have a healthier attitude with food and my emotions

Happy Day

Cabin is associated with good food and booze and I've ever been able to completely avoid it while up there so this will be a true test but I DO NOT want to move backwards. Only forward. Getting into the 170's again for the first time since early pregnancy feels great. That much closer to my prepregnancy weight in the 140's. Way to stay strong everyone, make it the best April yet!

That's amazing Red door! Did you have a stall before your massive loss? What's your secret?

I am on VLCD D6 today, and this is my..I think 6th round. I had two very successful long rounds in 2012, and lost 70 lb. I didn't quite get to goal then, so I tried to do a whole bunch of short rounds, loosing the very same 15 lb over and over again. I learned a lot about my love/ hate relationship with food, so this is my strength now. I tried FMD, and love that way if eating, so that will be me in P4. But now, my first goal is to loose weight and finally get to my goal. I am not sure yet if I'll do one long or two shorter rounds, I'll listen what my body says. So far, I'm doing great and loving feeling of lots of energy. Good luck to us all on this journey, we can do this��

Miri... My journey so mirrors yours I lost 73# in 2011- 2012 I think April of 2012 was my lowest weight I have struggled every since to try to keep it of or maintain I now weight about 195 not sure what my ticker will show... I have tried maintenance and gained UI have tried intense BeachBody work out and done heavy weight lifting work out I still gain I have even tried Ideal Protein Diet...I just cant get the scale to go down more that about the 5# of water weight and then the scale just stops.......So I am going to give hCg one more for all its worth try. We go on vacation the end of May and I would love to at least have 10 or MORE # Gone by then ...So here I am ...

So glad to meet you AlaskaLadyei!!! I am happy to find that I am not alone on this journey. It is such a learning and trying experience, isn't it?
AFM, after that sudden gain on Saturday, the scale is finally moving down again. So far in two weeks I lost 11.2 lb. It is going so sloooow, but it is going down, so I am happy. I think I will do a short round this time and try to stabilize in P3. In past, that was my trouble, so this time I'm hoping to do it right.

Good evening all. Had my third day with a goose egg I think I found possible culprits (TOM starts soon and I tried some lotion prior that may not have been P2 friendly) but I am really hoping I see something on my scale in the morning. I know I have had great losses so far and can absolutely notice, but you know those stalls are never fun! Keeping my hopes up for a loss tomorrow.

In addition, I have begun to get a rash on the outside of my thigh, itches like crazy, but when I do hydrocortisone and benadryl it relaxes. I have checked out some other threads that address this so it looks pretty normal. Not sure what is causing it.

Good luck everyone!! Happy losses!

Good Morning Everyone!
I haven't checked in because I wasn't losing and I was getting discouraged. I was losing inches though, to the point 3 people at work asked me how much weight I'd lost because they thought it was a lot. I'm not really sure how that happens, but I'll take it This is my round so far:

185.4 - Load Day 1(start weight)
187.0 - Load Day 2
186.6 - VLCD 1
184.6 - VLCD 2 (R)
182.6 - VLCD 3 (L)
181.4 - VLCD 4 (R)
180.0 - VLCD 5 (L)
179.6 - VLCD 6 skip day
179.8 - VLCD 7 (R)
179.8 - VLCD 8 (L)
178.4 - VLCD 9 (R)

I hope everyone is waking up to fantastic losses!!

Another pound bites the dust…. I'm still in shock. I never lose weight this fast on hcg. I know a slow down is coming, it always does, but I'm excited for how well this one has started. I can't wait to see how far it takes me! I'm hoping to goal!

Kannia- I'm SO glad you checked in! Your losses are really good! We women tend to average about .5lb/day loss. You are ahead of the curve with what you've lost so far. And even if it feels like you weren't losing, you had one day where you didn't and the rest have been losses! A loss is a loss! Hang in there girl! And if you are adding anything into your diet that is off protocol, stop and see what happens. If not, keep plugging away, you're doing GREAT!

Thank you for the encouragement, shkelly! You're right, overall it's pretty good! I had compared to the first week of my last round expecting the same losses....but each round is different!

It looks like you're doing fantastic!! Keep it up girl!!
