Hope you're
having fun in Denver! Well,
today is day 33 on the HCG
program and I'm still
feeling so wonderful! I
have finally broken my
decades long plateau of
never losing more than 23
lbs on any diet! I'm now
down 26 lbs, and the last
time I took measurements
(about 10 days ago or so) I
was down 18.5 inches! I
have to measure again today
because my body still feels
like it's changing so much,
even though the actual
weight loss has slowed
down.
I did an
apple day when I hit a
plateau at 24 lbs and that
did the trick, and I hit
that glorious 25 lb
mark! The apple day was
actually like a treat day
because I ate Honeycrisp
apples, which are the best
damn apples ever! I'm
convinced that those were
the ones that tempted Eve in
the Garden of Eatin'! How
could she have possibly
resisted?! Anyway, I've
been at the 26 lb mark for a
few days too, so I'm
contemplating just starting
phase 3 today. I hesitate
because as I stated a minute
ago, my body feels like it's
still changing. Like it's
being resculpted and I don't
want to stop too soon when I
can get more results. I
will decide by lunch time
today. I'm not having any
trouble following the
program TO THE LETTER, but
Christian is on spring break
now for a week, and if we go
do something during the
week, it'll be easier to eat
at a restaurant.
I have never
tweaked the program in any
way, because after reading
Dr. Simeon's book 4 times, I
was convinced that it would
not be worth it. I am
extremely glad that I
listened to you guys and
read the book, as well as,
learned from your own
experiences on the
program. The weight loss
and inches lost are so
amazing in this short amount
of time, but the other
benefits I have experienced
are just as valuable, or
even more so, to me! There
are so many things that
people take for granted when
they haven't suffered with
all the yo-yo dieting and
the misery that goes along
with that. These things have
been highly motivating for
me to not give in to all the
damn food commercials in the
evenings!
After the
first week, I woke up one
morning feeling "different"
as if something had shifted
inside me. From that point
on, it just kept getting
better and better. I
started to feel lighter,
cleaner, and less "foggy" in
the head. I started to be
able to move easier, and my
body was hurting less and
less. As you know, I was
seeing a chiropractor twice
a week, but I didn't start
feeling the full benefits of
that until I was drinking so
much water and dropping
weight consistently.
What a
difference! I'm now down
to once every 2 weeks at the
chiropractor and they are
very impressed with the
lifestyle changes I've made
and the results I've gotten
in such a short amount of
time. I now can turn
easily to look over my
shoulders when driving, I
can bend down to pick things
up very easily, I can put my
socks on easily, I can kneel
on one knee to do something
with Christian and then get
back up a lot easier, I'm
not in agony when I get up
in the mornings, I have a
lot more energy, I haven't
had anymore headaches (I had
those daily!), no more tummy
problems, no more skin
problems, and my
fibromyalgia symptoms are
soooooo much better!
I've been
wearing tops that I bought
during my last diet that I
was using as incentives to
continue losing weight, but
I couldn't meet that goal
then. I have only lost 3
lbs more on this program
than the last one (that one
took 2 mths to reach 22 lbs
lost!), but my body is so
very different with the HCG
program, so the tops are
already getting too loose!
With HCG helping me to only
lose "abnormal" fat and
inches, it makes an enormous
difference in diet results!
Why, oh why
did I never know about this
program long ago?! I've
been shopping recently and
now when I don't buy
something it's because I
don't want it, versus I
can't wear it! What an
awesome feeling! I was a
member of an eating disorder
group for quite a while, and
we were always told by the
counselor (who was thin, by
the way) that just losing a
bunch of weight wouldn't be
enough to change our lives.
I didn't agree with her
then, and I absolutely don't
agree with her now! That's
like telling a poor person
that money isn't
everything! It may not be
everything, but when you
have enough of it, it sure
makes life more easy and
enjoyable!
Losing weight
in a fast and healthy way
makes such a huge difference
in your self-esteem, which
makes a huge difference in
the way you live your life
and interact with people.
You suddenly feel much more
willing and capable of
living! I know that timing
is everything, and I am so
grateful to you guys for
introducing me to this
program! My husband is
coming for a visit soon and
I can't wait to surprise him
with the new and improved
me! And I will be seeing
family in Michigan soon and
surprising them too! I
can't wait!
