Starting New Years Eve
Hello all. I'm starting my HCG injections Monday so i can use New Years Eve and New years day both as my days of gorging. I'm looking forward to doing all of my measurements and taking the dreaded before pictures. With only 25 pounds to lose I plan on doing lots of work outs (yoga, cardio, and weight lifting) so my measurements will be more important than actual weight as i build more muscle. I'll keep you all posted! Currently i'm 38 yo, 5'11, 215 pounds. I would love to get down to 185 +/- a few pounds due to muscle mass.

hi, im am injecting subcutaneously. i got the 10,000 units as well. My hcg from ghi was not synthetic. i was worried about that too. supposedly the bacteriostat that is mixed with it is a preservative also. so far so good.

Hello...
It is awesome to hear how all of you are doing, very encouraging!!! I look forward to Phase 2, I am wanting to follow the P & I format, yet I am not sure on the IM vs SubQ it sounds like it does not truly make a difference, all seem to be losing the weight... I did the lifeforceplan.com candida cleanse, this has helped me with the hunger, gave me great clarity and most of all the ability to read what my body needs whether it be protein or an organic smoothie (stevia was allowed) ... I have done several colon cleanses sonne #7 & 9 and the Almighty one... In the lifeforceplan, sweating is essential to removing the toxins, saunas have always been something I have liked, and hotsweats are a great way to get the water down.. I drink more than plenty of water, I am now drinking the Wu Long tea, yerba mate, chamomile and Eleotin... the interesting thing about Eleotin is it almost sweet to taste, easy to drink and each packet is 3 c of tea, so I am doing 1/2 packets to help the cost. Wu Long tastes a lot like regular tea, I just drink it down while I get ready for work, both are fine to be drank at room tempurature, even cold... My husband picked up a shower filter from Home Depot I am thinking, as most I found are very spendy, and I had to make choices as to where to spend and not to spend... I am presently researching himalayian rock lamps for ions in the house, the pendants are a might spendy that I have found.... someday I will find just what I want.. Otherwise I am close to starting the HCG, my projected start date is Jan 24th...
Cybil.. in reading this thread, if I recall correctly you obtained your HCG from GHI too, did yours come 10,000iu where you mix it all at once? When I first began my research and did the blood work and such, I was told I would receive a 45 day supply, yet once I got to the script.... it is now a 40 day supply and the HCG is said to have a 60 day shelf life refrigerated?
There is so much information and than cross referencing it gets very overwhelming when we all have 'life' to address daily ....
Thanks for your time

Beth......id did get the 10,000 iu (mixed all at once), but the person I talked to told me that mine was synthetic, and manufactored in the US. Not sure if I understood wrong or what, but that is the way I took it. The 45-40 day thing is because of this reason.......you have enough hcg for 45days.....HOWEVER, 1 day a week you do not inject youself, (to keep from building up immunity to hcg). Thus, enough hcg for 45days. However, if you choose to chance that you will not build up immunity, (as some people succesfully do), you will only have enough drug for 40 days worth of actual shots. Hope this helps.

Hello...
I am working to begin injecting in 11 days. When I spoke with the Pharmacy they stated that I was getting a 40 day supply which contradicted what I was told on my initial conversation. After I did all the blood work and history and the process was underway they change it from a 60 day supply to a 40 day supply. This week I will be making some calls and finding some understanding of it all. I have seen where in some cases there was no injection on sundays, so that is another possibility. At this point I intend on just doing the 40 days, and that will be a total of 43 of HCG hence the 3 days at the end with no injection. I thank you for your posts, most helpful and I will go digging into the threads on the forum, I have read there some... I need more time to be on here!!! * smiles *
Thanks for your time.....

Hi Jamie et al --
Sorry i haven't been in touch. Been way too busy. Ive been inching along -- have lost 13 pounds to date; im on day 20. I too gained 1.5 pounds over weekend (friend had a toga party). I had one glass of wine, a few shrimp and two jello shots...oh well. So im back on track. Ive been working out about 3 times a week. Definitely have lost inches because I had a meeting the other day at work and had to wear a suit that was tight on me back in October...it fit much better...
Id really like to get down to 150 (am 157.6 as of this morning)...Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Jamie and all.....I'm at day 24 of P2 and have lost 15.2lbs total. However, my body is taking on a totally new shape......(WOW, I HAVE CURVES!!!!). I went downhill skiing again last night, and it was while I was putting on my Under Armor that I really noticed the difference. Under Armor is pretty form-fitting, so I was able to analyze my new "shape". Like Jamie, I'd still like to loose another 10lbs .....but if my body contines "shaping" itself like this, I'll settle for the shape!!! I did hit a "plateau" last week, where I went 10 days without any change in weight, (no, no cheating on my part either)........but now have dropped 1lb per day for the past 3 days. I did read in Dr Simeons' protocol, that plateaus like that happen, as the body cannot keep up with the fat lose, and needs those several days to destroy the old "fat cell housing units", and get rid of them. Not sure if that is what happend or not, but I'm thrilled either way, even though it WAS fairly depressing to get on the scale each am and not "see" a difference there.
My sister is doing great as well. She has lost over 25lbs total....and literally seems to be "melting" away! I notice a HUGE difference on her around her middle, and in her butt and thighs. CONGRATS! to everyone on their success, and hope you all are as happy with your progress as we are.

Hi Cybil
Glad to hear about your reshaping. I am on day 18 and have lost right at 15. I know you got your HCG from the same place I got mine. I am not going to have enough for 40 shots. I am taking only 200 instead of the 250 and will still run out. how is yours holding up? I am think about calling them. we paid to much not to have enough to get through the cycle.
My husband is about 2 days behind me and he has lost a little over 20. I am starting to see a difference. I can now get back in some of my clothes.
good luck and stay in touch.

To Dan, I found the hCG to be pretty inexpensive at drugdelivery.ca. Just go to this website and type in "hCG" and it will go directly to what you need. Hope this helps.

Congrats to all of you. Wow! You've all lost your weight and my HCG and needles haven't even come yet;-( If it's not here in a couple of weeks I'm going to order again from drugdelivery.com. Thanks for the site.
I have to land a new position first. If anyone knows of a company seeking an HR Generalist in Southern CA or even Northern CA please email me at: StaceyandBobby@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Stacey

Hello Cybil & Everyone.... I had planned to start on the 24th but after some thought it worked best to begin on the 22.. I gained a little over a pound i think on the two big days, than on day 4 I lost 2.6.. I am now on day eight and I've lost 11.2... I have not cheated, and do not look forward to a plateau, but I too read about plateau's via Simeons manuscript.. I drink more than enough water including the tea's so far the first 2-3 days I had a headache it has now gone. I was hungry in the beginning but it has tapered off. I work for a Montessori school, the first day of the VLCD our snack for the kids was peta bread sliced in half with a garlic olive oil topping, than cut into pizza like triangles and baked in our toaster oven and she included a hummus bean dip.. It smelled so good and drove me crazy but I managed not to even nibble ... the second day one of the children celebrated there birthday, and the mom brought two large boxes and one half box FULL of Krispy Kreme donuts... It was to much for the kids so I had to cut them in half.. again I did not even sample a morsel.. needless to say with the storms we are getting up here school has been out on snowdays for mon & tues and will be out again tomorrow.. Yet much of the hunger has died off and my routine is in place... I feel good
Take care and goodluck to all... Jamie I will be only half way when you finish I do hope you continue to come see us all.. Are you beginning Phase 3 or going six weeks?
