I am so excited to talk to others about this. I have been researching for a few months now & everything I read seems to make sense - still just a little scary. I have A LOT to lose! Do you give yourself injections? Ohhhhh - what does LIW mean? I have been able to decode other abbrev - not that one.

Thanks again.

So, LIW would mean that last weight on a day WITH an injection? So much to learn :-)

I am a first timer. I have been on the hCG for 10 days now, and lost 12.5 since I started them. I was more nervous about the shots than the VLC diet, but neither is really difficult--at least so far! I've had some challenges, but none that haven't passed. Every plan I have ever done has taken a period of adjustment, and this will be no different.

I can tell you that any difficulty I have faced has been so worth the weight loss!!! The support here has been amazing, and there are other support sites as well that offer a wealth of information. I am grateful that my husband is doing it with me, but he is likely going to reach his goal with one round, whereas I have at least three or four more ahead of me. That is why I am so grateful for all the help here.

So, I'll join the others and offer any help I can!

I am soooo excited I an hardly wait. I have about 180 lbs to lose. I cannot believe I have so much to lose - that part depresses me!

My husband is also going to do this with me. I am thankful for that - we can support each other. I have let a few of my coworkers know what I am doing - they are excited for me too.

It seems from blogs & vlogs I have found that some people choose different strategies. Like the dose of injections, the foods they eat during injections and during the "off" cycle,
the length of time on & off........ so many decisions. Can I ask what you are doing?

Thank you soooo much for the reply, I really wanted to chat with another newbie!

Terri;
When I first started losing weight a year ago, I had 190 lbs to lose to reach my goal. Using another program (Ultrametabolism) I had already lost 36.5, but plateau snagged me several months ago. So, when I started this I figured I had about 155 lbs to lose. It seems like a huge number, and in comparison to some it is, but it is not un-doable.

As for the dose amounts, we loaded with 200 mg on days one through three, then cut back to 150. The variation will come if we stop losing or start being hungry. At that point you can adjust up a bit.

The more you read, and become educated on various forums or books on the program (I have two besides KT's, one is called HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide written by Linda Prinster (Pounds and Inches Away, LLC) , and the other is the HCG Gourmet cookbook. Both are amazing resources, and have helped me a lot. I figured since I had so much to lose and would be doing the phase 2 program several times, it would be wise to educate myself as much as possible to make it fun and stay successful.

As with any program, you do have choices, and since our bodies are each unique, we will find one thing or another that works best for us. The key is not getting stressed out over it! If one thing doesn't work, try something different for a while. The other key is drink LOTS of water. That is what flushes the fat cells out of your body. Teas and water are really essential, both for the flushing and for curbing hunger.

Cheering you on!

Hi Terry! I just joined this community site. I just finished my first round of the injections. I still have a lot of questions myself. I didn't know that you could adjust the amount of injection you took. I was on Phase one for 30 days and lost 34 pounds. Then, I was off of it for 8 months and didn't gain any back!!!! Then, I went back on phase 1 for 18 more days and lost another 20 pounds. Then, I started the injections and have lost another 43 pounds. Altogether, that's 97 pounds! I still have another 65 to go and can't wait until I can start with my second round! I also wrote a cook book with complete meal plans, grocery lists, and menus for phase one. Some people just need it in black and white...a plan.. I am very excited about this! I am a church secretary. Because of my success, at present, there are 11 other women in my church who have ordered the injection or who are on their first round already! I wish I could shake Kevin Trudeaus' hand for bringing this cure to the forfront and helping so many people to gain control of their life and health!

I hope you have great success!
Cindy

WELL DONE!

I am impressed, I cannot wait to start. Still a little nervous about VLCD - but if the HCG works like most everyone says that should help with hunger. When you say phase 1 - is that Simeons or KT?

Thanks, I look forward to hearing more from you.

What dose have you been doing?

Are you having crazy hunger? Do you find that because of the injections you are able to handle the hunger? Are you following the Simeons diet?

I had hunger the first few days, but not crazy, just enough to remind me I hadn't eaten! The injections do make it much easier to handle the hunger, and if you have read Trudeau's book, there is a method for helping that described in there. I haven't had to use it, but it is nice to know it is there if I need it.

By about the fourth day, I found I wasn't hungry, and even the small portions were almost too much. Slow down and savor your food, that helps you feel fuller and for your mind to assimilate the fact that you really are NOT starving your body!

I am following the Simeons diet, and leaning more toward KT's version of it. I am also doing the eleotin tea, which I would highly recommend if you have had any blood sugar issues at all. I think that has been one of the keys to my rapid loss so far.
