You know me Grok. I have some very impassioned views about food, the entire "medical-weightcloss-pharma-industrial complex" and I have no love for or blind devotion to "convention". And ironically, I don't disagrees at ALL with the OP or with any of the content of the article for that matter. Yet, yes, it still felt a bit…

Is it me or does the "tone" of this post sound condescending? I have my own definitions of what junk food is. And I'm pretty passionate about my feelings about food. For me, junk food is anything that has ingredients I couldn't buy on the open market and make myself. BUT I'd never presume to tell someone else what "we"…

HEY! so this is where everyone is! OK well, I only just started VLCD Phase 2 today (october 3rd) so mine would only be a 12 day challenge but I'M IN! I picked up 3.2 pounds during loading so I'm 247.2 today See you tomorrow!

5'8" and 157 sounds pretty close to perfect, my dear. At 121, you'd look like death walking. I wish movie stars and public people would quit lying about their weight to give the impression that someone 5'8" could weigh 120 pounds and look healthy. In most cases they cannot. I'm 5'9" and the LOWEST i've been in my adult…

Hello fellow Floridian! Feel free to friend me if you want. We can walk this road together. I've got about 75-90 more to go myself

Well where I live Lioness there are three places to buy food: walmart, publix and winn-dixie. Yes I can buy some produce from one of the side-of-the-road stands, but I'm not sure that food is organic. It's just locally grown which doesn't mean jack. I hear what you're saying. When you're close to a major city, it's easier…

Oh, Lioness, I don't bother actually SAYING anything to anyone because people are stupid (or rather, people are addicted). Our food supply has become as powerful as drugs in terms of the way they react chemically without bodies. And those chemical reactions create imbalances that further drive the desire for these…

Sneak out the back door until they eat it all - which they will. Seriously, tell them you're trying to lose a few pounds and trying to stay away from sugar. Tell them you're addicted to sugar and your are detoxing or something. Ask them to do you the favor of eating ALL the cake for you right away. Trust me, they will be…

Way to go Heather! Congratulations on holding steady (and even losing) during Phase 3. I feel like you do - I want to hand this stuff out in the streets and give it to every person who has decided to give up and wait for heart disease to kill them because they've tried all the "conventional" stuff and haven't been…

OMG Skinny that is just AWESOME NEWS! I am doing a happy dance for you and your 120-something self, girl!!!

Lioness - so glad to hear you're feeling yourself again. Congrats on the loss!

AWESOME!

Pleased to report the apple day worked. Down 1.4 today after a two day stall. I'll take it. :bigsmile: I bought some apples called JAZZ APPLES. I laughed with my husband when we were looking over the selection of apples. I asked him whether JAZZ apples were lile JAZZ hands? :laugh: Anyway, I'm looking forward to moving on.…

Wow skinny...sure sounds like allergy. I guess when we're all detoxed it's easier to see what our bodies react negatively to. I'd recover and try it again in a few weeks - see if you get the same reaction. Then phase 3 you'll know. I wonder if it's all dairy or just stuff like yogurt? I'd die without cheese!

I inject. I mix myself. Some do RX Drops some do Homeoathic drops. As long as you get the drops from a reputable place, from what I can tell, it works just as well as the Rx injections. I'd stay away from premixed rx (usually only given at clinics) because you don't know how long they've been mixed. If you have a large…

Damnit skinny, you're going to just MAKE me try that thing aren't you? You make it sound like HEAVEN - so damnit tomorrow I'm doing it. happy now? :bigsmile: XO

Good morning fellow HCGers! I'm still at the same weight. Ok, well it was .2 down BUT today was the first day I was able to poop in a while so even though it SAYS I'm down .2......I'm not really considering that a loss of FAT, if you get my drift. :laugh: So I'm taking an apple day today. And truth be told, I'm VERY happy…

Lori, I am SO happy for you! I feel the exact same way. I've been on for about 16 days now. I;m down 11 pounds (although I;ve been in a stall now for two going on three days). It is a wonderful thing this HCG. Mentally ad emotionally much more satisfying than the "standard" weight loss recommendations but also because…

all the best to you!

what type are you doing? RX? or Homeopathic? there are tons of places you can get it but how soon you can get it depends on what type you are ordering. If you want, send me an email and I will direct you to a place that has a listing of reputable sources and tons of people you can ask about their ordering experiences (how…

So here's to another day, fellow HCGers. I'm sort of feeling like I was bad today but I wasn't. I've had plenty to drink, not so much peeing, though, which is usually NOT a good sign. Well, maybe I'll be surprised in the morning.In a good way, that is. Fingers Crossed. Good night all.

Skinnytime, I've heard some people say to take an epsom salt and baking soda bath for "water under the skin". I've not tried it.

Yeah I do 4 ounces raw of protein. I find that with 3.5 raw I'm looking for things to eat and I feel just....bad. I have a muscular build and I think that may be why I have slightly higher protein needs. I often feel puffy too. And I also wake up overnight to pee. During the day, I drink starting at 10 a.m. but I never…

It's the abbreviation for Human Chorionic Gonadotripin. It's a substance that is used in conjunction with a very specialized Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) plan that causes an average weight loss of .5 to 1 pounds per day and resets your hypothalamus. It was developed by an Italian physician in the 50's. You can read about…

Good MORNING HCGers! very little drop today (only .2) so I'm calling it stall day. I expect that I'll drop big tomorrow. My loss seems to go in cycles: little/nothing, little/nothing, 2 pounds. Little/nothing, little/nothing, two pounds. At least that's how it looks when I check out my stats. I was 100 calories under…

You're not alone FL. I did coke for years. I'm not sure it messed up my metabolism or not but I can honestly say getting off the **** (as I called it) for me seemed easier than dealing with weight. I think sometimes people like us use various substances to medicate. Sometimes it's booze or dope. Sometimes it's food. My…

w00t! congrats! It IS great isn't it?

I don't eat the melbas at all. It slows me down. I managed go eat a great dinner and apples! I hope that's enough. I'm 100 calories short.

Hey skinnytime, I use it to make dressings and on my meats as a sauce (when mixed with a touch of stevia or truvia it mellows out the tartness and makes a nice sauce or dressing). Tonight I had shrimp with chopped celery (cold) for dinner and used ACV, truvia, lemon, salt and pepper. I also use it to steam my veggies…
