    Hello my name is Lisa and I have been researching this diet for about 6 months. I just picked it up yesterday. So thrilled!! I have 1 son who is 22. . I have always been active but ever since my 40's its been a up hill battle, im sooo tired of killing/ injuring myself. I hurt every where shoulder, knee, foot... im over it...

    Im not considered obese but My BMI is over 25 thats a lot for me I want it to get to a healthy 18%. I am 5-2 maybe 5-3"... 150. I am going to get to my goal weight of 120.

    So if any one would like to join me on this journey it would be greatly appreciated. Lots of love and best wishes sent out to you all who are in this program.

    You say "This diet"...what diet are you on? I'm on a low carb, high protein diet also counting calories, so really we can't give you any advice on recipes if we don't know what your diet allows. If you could elaborate a little more that would be helpful. :wink:

    Wow...everything I've read about that diet is really bad...it's something I wouldn't do. Too few calories...not good for your body IMHO. :indifferent:

    This is a bit clearer than the first post, thanks. What diet did you just pick up yesterday?

    Edited to add: Ooops sorry, just saw that you are doing HCG.

    Try just sticking to a reasonable calorie goal. HCG works because you eat next to nothing. My friend has tried it about 4 times now and keeps losing and gaining the same 5-10 pounds of water weight.

    If you're looking for something sustainable, I'd highly suggest avoiding HCG. The best 'diet' you can follow is to just log all of your food into this website and that's it. Stick to your calorie/carb/fats allotted and you will lose weight that will last you long term. Don't have foods that you 'can' and are 'not allowed' to eat. Just fit it within your macros and enjoy.

    Any doctor who tells me to eat 500 calories and to stay away from lotion gets a punch in the berries.

    All joke aside, you can be successful without such a harsh change in your calorie consumption. I would also seriously question any doctor who recommended the HCG or any diet under 1200 calories a day...and restricts lotion. WTF?!

    Basically everything that hcg thing does is lowering your appwtite while bringing your bidy to burn more.
    Well and afterthat? Yoir appetites back. You learned nothing.
    Why not making the life changes, chynging the things that lead to you feeling unwell in your body now?
    You did the unhealthy eating thing to yoir body for korethen two weeks right? So why trying to get rid of tge weight now in two weeks or so?
    It wont bring you anything in the long run...

    Thank you for your input. Appreciated.

    Hope you've got a thick skin as most people on this forum don't have a very good opinion of HCG (I have none as living in the UK it's not one I've ever come into contact with).

    By all means ask for advice, but be prepared for some negativity... and if it doesn't work/makes you feel ill/you put all the weight back on etc etc then do come on and ask for advice on losing weight the way most of us are doing it (simple calories in, calories out, not dipping too low on food each day and getting in some exercise). It's not fancy, it might seem boring, but it does work (and is cheap!).

    Yikes! May want to get a professional second opinion on that diet. :smile:

    Any diet that requires me to inject myself with a needle each day I would run from so fast I wouldn't need a diet!

    I would have to agree with this one. That diet is not only dangerous, it is unsustainable. Any weight you lose you are going to put on as soon as you stop the diet. You should try making a lifestyle change. it will take longer but the results will last.

    Yikes, from what I've just read about HCG, you couldn't pay me enough to try it. I'd rather be fat. Of course you're going to lose weight - you eat 500 calories a day! And some of it just seems a tad outlandish to me - the fats they use in skin lotion seep into your system and help make you fatter??? That's why you can't use lotion??? Really???? Eating well and exercise is the way to do it. Sure it's a slower process, but there are no quick fixes. Messing around with metabolism and things - who knows what that might do in the long run. Nope, couldn't pay me to try it.

    Are you serious or trolling?
    Hello my name is Lisa and I have been researching this diet for about 6 months. I just picked it up yesterday. So thrilled!!
    I don't know anyone who had a good experience with HCG. I would rethink your choice to do that diet if I were you.
    I have 1 son who is 22
    So?
    and recently I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation while recovering i have put on a few lbs.
    Sounds to me like you have some major body issues and that you like to take the quick way out instead of the best way. I'm assuming you made your chest bigger not smaller right? And the tummy tuck wasn't medically necessary either?
    I have always been active but ever since my 40's its been a up hill battle,
    I'm younger but yeah, it gets harder as you get older. I don't think it's worth going under the knife for though.
    im sooo tired of killing/ injuring myself. I hurt every where shoulder, knee, foot... im over it...
    Have you considered seeing a counselor for your body image concerns? What about a dietican or personal trainer?

    If your 1st instinct has always been to get something cut or take a pill instead of a healthier route... I think you need to reconsider your choices.
    Im not considered obese but My BMI is over 25 thats a lot for me I want it to get to a healthy 18%. I am 5-2 maybe 5-3"... 150. I am going to get to my goal weight of 120.
    18% is the LOWest end of healthy for an adult woman. Why not aim for a more modest goal instead of an extreme? You're in your 40s for crying out loud!

    ....and needs to have his medical license revoked. I just looked up this diet and I can't believe any real DR would agree to it.

    My calories will be at 1,000 to 1,200 a day because of my activity level.

    Please read through this link. It might help you understand a bit more about how a caloric deficit works, and make you realize that vastly undereating like that is far from necessary. You can eat significantly more and lose weight the healthy way.
