There are three of us who went on HCG and were dramatically successful.
I've told you my tale of the toll and I've eluded to my friends' results. Now, I'll give a quick update:
1.) Friend Best: She's moved to a new strategy: Atkins. Upon the suggestion of another friend, she has dedicated her maintenance efforts toward a high protein, low carb diet. . . and boy is she having a ball with the full-fat-frenzy! She is absolutely loving the bacon, meat and cheese (with no carbs).
Thanks to HCG, I lost the weight. Bravo! Bellissimo! Encore! But I wasn't finished...
The willpower pendulum still had momentum and so, I lost even more weight. OMG!
As the willpower diminished, I began to fall backwards; my scale skyrocketed. Noooooooo!
After the too-quick relapse, I was left questioning whether all the naysayers were right: "You realize as fast as you lose it, you'll gain it right back." Something inside me suspects if we were 5 instead of
Does anyone know the answers to these questions?
Q1.) What is the Optimal Weight according to Simeon? Is there a chart or equation?
Q2.) It's surprisingly easy to get back to my first round's last injection weight; but getting back to the last injection weight of the second round requires a very restricted diet. Is it harder to get back to the lower weight because a.) it's lower; b.) it's below "optimal"; c.) my body didn't "reset" itself to that weight,

In fact, the hcg protocol was so effective that even without the injections, the knowledge I'd gained from the protocol helped me to continue to lose weight. If this part of my life were set to music, something brightly staccato-cheerful would play--at double-speed. Whirling, whizzing, joyful; annoying to anyone else not sharing the crazy high.
I've lost control and gained weight. I've gained control and lost weight. Now, I've gained weight and lost control? Or perhaps, as Cassy's question made me consider, it was all a Jedi mind trick.
Did I fall for the jealous Obi-Wan-onlookers who preferred the rounder me? As I reached the thinner me, did I truly go too far; or were they--the "concerned"--merely uncomfortable with one of their own transforming beyond the unspoken limits?
