Absolutely! About the KEEP it off part especially! If I go back to eating like I did before I will look like I did before. I'm learning to eat healthier and the better I do, the better I maintain between rounds!
Seriously - if you're looking for good support and testimonials for this program, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/hcgdieters . There are a LOT of people in there and they are ALL so supportive and all helping each other through their questions. It's a great group - and it's FREE!!! Lots of free resources, links, photos, and a forum. I don't know if I would've made it through both my rounds without all their help!
I would like to know where I can order Eleotin Organic Tea by itself? I always run out of that tea first and I don't want to order the whole tea package just to get more Eleotin. I have searched online and I cannot find anyone that sells it. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me.

Hi, my name is Ali and I was wondering if you found out how to get that tea(Eleotin) w/out having to get it in like a bunch package I too need it alone. Thanks - Ali
Hi, I've been on Phase 4 for almost 8 weeks and have remained 5 pounds under my last injection weight, I eat as much organic as i can (about 80% of my diet) and truly eat whatever I want. I'm still amazed each day I get on the scale and there is no weight gain. I ended up losing from 217 down to 187 so I lost 30 pounds. 3 years ago I had my tonsils taken out and gained weight and could never lose it. I'm very active and never had a weight problem and never had trouble losing a few pounds until I had my tonsil surgery. I'm so greatful I found out about hcg!
Ok, I am getting ready to say "Screw it" and forget the whole thing. I am VERY frustrated and more than a little disappointed that it doesn't work.
I worked really hard for the 6 weeks on the HCG and didn't cheat once. I was really excited that I lost 28 pounds and 33 inches, but I think it was for nothing.
The first two days after quitting HCG I stayed on the diet exactly as told. The first day of eating I gained 2 pounds, the second day I did the steak day and gained another pound. The third day, yesterday, I gained 3 more pounds. So I have gained back 6 pounds in 3 days! Obviously the 6 weeks in between will get me back to where I started or higher at this rate so why bother - it doesn't work for me!
That seems to be quite normal. I typically put 5# on above last injection weight, then it stays there. Frustrating when I still have more to lose cause I hate to retrace pounds I already lost, but it is WAY better than any other diet EVER!! So I just deal with it :-) There are many clinics and doctors who tell their clients/patients to allow 5# above LIW for just this reason. If your body is determined to be at a certain level and you keep fighting to stay a little under that point, you will just end up frustrated. Your body will do what it wants to do no matter how you try to tell it differently.
