About Me

Weighing 221.6lbs, I started using HCG sublingual drops. Previous to starting the drops, I had exercised for 5 weeks straight using P90X. I felt great but had only lost 4lbs. I was gaining muscle which offset the weight loss but I was not happy with the slow results and needed to do something else. That is when my wife discovered what everyone has been raving about. HCG has been a miracle for us so far!

HCGHealth VLCD Day 18

Weight: 208.4.
I gained a pound yesterday, but now I'm back down. I didn't change anything with my eating so not sure what happened. Anyway, I didn't post due to being a little depressed about it.

HCGHealth VLCD Day 16

Weight: 208.8.
Yeah! Two pounds gone in one day! Back to my normal eating routine 'til lunch. My wife made some awesome tasting cream of chicken soup that is HCG friendly. I'll let you know how it goes.

HCGHealth VLCD Day 15

Weight: 210.8.
I gained weight over the weekend. I went over the 500 calories by adding two tomatoes and some onions to my salads, eating 2 bowls of miracle noodles with chicken boullion on Saturday. So, that is a setback. I got back on track Sunday by eating the way I was last week.

HCGHealth VLCD Day 12

Weight: 210.6
The only times I feel hungry now is at normal meal times. This is good.
My wife made smoothies last night. Well, I had three of them. This morning's weight loss shows it since I only lost .4 lbs. :-(

I made a smoothie last night. It was awesome and extremely filling!

HCGHealth VLCD Day 10

Weight: 212.0
Had zero hunger yesterday. I didn't eat my second piece of Melba toast, again. However, today, I forgot to bring my apple. :-(
Still doing well. My wife is still hungry but she has been losing 1 1/2lbs a day just over the last couple of days. She just increased her drop dosage yesterday to help with the hunger. Some posts we have seen talk about increasing the dosage or even decreasing it to help with the hunger. So, we will see...

HCGHealth VLCD Day 9

Weight: 212.8
Had pretty much zero hunger yesterday. I didn't eat my second piece of Melba toast.
I'm not hungry at all this morning.
My energy level is the same as before going on the diet.

HCGHealth VLCD Day 8

Weight: 213.8
I took off from posting over the weekend but here is a summary. Very little hunger over the course of the weekend. Cooked steaks yesterday on the George Foreman. They were surprisingly tender for once!
I felt full after eating, which hasn't happened yet. My wife however, is still dealing with hunger, but it has gotten better for her.

HCGHealth VLCD Day 5

Weight: 216.4
Today the hunger was a lot better, especially after dinner.
Not much to report.

VLCD Day 4

Weight: 217.8
Today the hunger was a little better, especially after dinner.
I am starting to wonder if we should increase the dosage per some of the other blogs and forums.
Not much to post today.
I am working on a deal to sell HCG for a pretty good savings. If you have an interest, let me know.

VLCD Day 3

Weigh in this morning: 219.6. Body fat from the scale: 31.6
Hunger got better yesterday. I was hungry around 9am and then again right after I ate lunch at around 11:30am. After that, I was okay until around 4:30pm. The hunger did not last as long, though.
Today has been good so far.
One thing I can say about the hunger that is different from before the diet is that before, if I was very hungry, I would get the shakes badly. I have not experienced that at all thus far on the HCG.

VLCD Day 2

Weigh in this morning: 223. Body fat from the scale: 32.2
Yesterday my wife and I struggled with hunger. I started feeling hungry around 9am. I ate an apple which helped some. The hunger returned around 5pm, but ate dinner and felt good after that.
My wife struggled with the hunger all day and into the evening. I'm feeling pretty sorry for her. I hope she is better today.

Very Low Calorie Day 1

Weigh in this morning: 227.6 Body fat: 31.9
I feel no hunger so far. Made black coffee with one tablespoon of milk. I hate black coffee, but actually it ain't too bad for some reason this morning.

Day 2-Loading Day

I woke up and weighed: 224.4lbs. Wow, that was a lot of pigging out, yesterday. Looking forward to another day of it. I've already had a piece of pineapple upside down cake and two pieces of toast with peanut butter and syrup! Yesssss!!!!!!
I have to say that the HCG drops are not very tasty. The B12 leaves a nasty 'soapy' taste. I leave them under my tongue for 15 minutes. I don't eat 15 minutes before or after the drops.
Hunger pangs have been nonexistent. Ya think?!? oink, oink...
Tomorrow will be the real test when I start the very low calorie days (VLCD).

Now for something gross: This is about bowel movements. I will post this information as well, not to be gross, but maybe to help if you are on the diet and have concerns about different things going on with your body.
If you are easily grossed out, do not read any further...

We'll say that normally for me, things sink to the bottom. Yesterday, they were all floating, indicating a lot of fat.
