    I think I have some before pics and can take a current "in progress" pic to post. I'll check our digital camera tonight and send you a PM. I can see why you'd like to see actual pics....
  • Hi All,

    Maybe you can help me. I am day Day 7 into my drops, and for the first time today I am feeling really off. I have taken A pack of Stevia thinking it might eb low sugars, and then ate more bread sticks, but still not feeling good.

    I don't feel hungary at all, just my tummy is not feeling good and either is my head..Did anyone else feel like this.

    Also I am 200 lbs and wondering 500 calories is this normal for a girl my size????

    I never had any issues like that at all, other than a slight headache the first week. It could be totally unrelated to the diet - could be an intestinal flu coming on -

    or if it is blood sugar, Stevia won't help that, and I don't think the breadsticks will either - have you tried eating any orange or drinking a bit of orange juice or pineapple juice? If it is blood sugar, that should fix it right quick.

    There is no different caloric intake or dosage change based on size/weight. That being said, if you have a really active job (like my husband, he works on his feet all day in a factory) you might consider adding extra protein..... My hubby is 263 (started at 305) and he eats double the protein at each meal, which puts his caloric intake around 900 a day....

  • Thank you LdyGeko,
    I have a sit my bum down job all day. So not active at all. Mind you I did go for a walk last night, so not sure if this is part of it.

    I will try the orange juice or pineapple juice and see if it helps.

    And continue on with my 500 calories and hope for the best..
  • I do but I don't know how to transfer them from facebook to here!! I have some from three weeks ago and it blew my mind when I saw the difference!!

    I agree...the fast weight loss is the boost so many of us need to be motivated. To see progress fast and get you to a place where you feel more comfortable to incorporate work out into your lifestyle.
    I am on day 8 of the vlcd and have lost 9 lbs and feel so motivated to move forward. Once I am done on my drops I plan to start yoga and step aerobics but had not done so before my HCG because I felt wayyy too self conscious about my body to be IN those classes.....but I know after this my confidence will be there.
    There is SO MUCH information online about this diet and it is VERY easy to get confused and there are still things I am working out and learning along the way. All I know is that for my husband and I, this has brought us closer together as a team and opened our eyes in such a big way as to HOW we have eaten in the past and why we are both overweight.
    For US, the weigh loss each day is testament to something working and we are headed in the right direction. AFTER the drops we are both FULLY aware that we will have to work out and continue to WATCH the calories we eat.....and I think that is what this diets does for so many is open their eyes to the intake of food and to make better choices. For us, we are very happy we are doing it, have seen amazing results from others at work that have done it and on youtube there are so many great stories of people on the same journey. To each his/her own I say and no need to bring someone down if this is working for them....when so many other options did not.
