To begin with I wanted to share how and why I decided to begin using HCG. I was not always a choompy (this is what me and my sister call "thick") girl. I began to gain weight around my Junior year of high school. I just kept packing on the weight without realizing just how much I was gaining! By the time I realized that it had to stop it was almost like it was too late. I did the exercising and dieting before, and I did have results, it just never lasted. So I would give up, not even intentionally it would just happen. I have stopped and thought, "Geez! If I would have continued with that diet and exercise I could be ten times smaller right now." It is depressing to think about and I have suffered with the feelings of disgust about myself. I cant even try on clothing at stores because if I do and it doesn't look right I feel sad. I know I know, you can do something about it! Well I had been researching the HCG diet for a couple of months and saw all these great before and after pics. It was a glimmer of hope that I needed. However, I never talked myself into doing it afraid it would be a waste of money and time. What if it was all a lie? A friend on Facebook started posting about her success on the diet and I watched her statuses for about a week before one night when I could not sleep I messaged her. I asked her to please give me information that I could use to begin she so kindly did! The very next day I ordered all that I needed online. I even reached out to my cousin who I know also wants to lose weight and she decided to do it while I do. I have never admitted to anyone my real weight after I spoke to my sister and cousin I felt so good about admitting how much I really weighed. I am about 5'5" and according to my Dr. I should be weighing between 120-150 above that you are overweight, below your underweight. Above 180 and you are considered obese! This is where I fall weighing in at 211.7 lbs =(. My ideal weight would be 135lbs. If you would like to see where you should be I am going to post a link to a website where it will calculate that for you, http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/calculators/ideal_bw_women.htm. I began my HCG VLCD(very low 500 calorie diet which is only after your two loading days)yesterday, and it was easy in the morning and horrible towards the night! To begin you need to take all of you measurements, your arms, chest, waist, hips, thighs and calf's. You will be shrinking in inches along with fat! (It sounds like your not eating anything at all but you really are! The HCG helps to suppress your appetite, and from what I've read and seen online the first week is the worst. After you can expect a burst of energy!) I knew within myself that I was full and content, but my stomach thought otherwise! I am so use to eating when and what I want that my stomach was upset at me! haha. You take the HCG drops under your tongue when you wake up, wait 15 minutes then drink your protein shake which you add a product called MCT oil to, two hours later you drink one again all the while drinking lots and lots of water. Take your HCG again, make your lunch, two hours after you drink another shake and then your dinner! which you need to weigh out your protein so that you do not go over. Before bed take your HCG and drink your last shake. It is time consuming to remember the routine but it is going to be so worth it! This morning I stepped on my scale (because you need to weigh yourself every morning and record that weight) and was surprised to see that my weight was now 208.1! that is -3 lbs lighter!! That gave me all the motivation I needed to get through today. I want to thank my sister for giving me the idea to start a blog! This might have been a boring first post to some but was fun to write! Thank you. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Oh, by the way the picture above is the first lunch meal that I made. It is Cajun blackened salmon (about 3.5 oz of my protein) with spinach!
