I did the HCG diet and I am not ashamed.....
I am one of the rare success stories and I am chosing to share it because I see so many get bashed on here just for asking about it much less doing it.

Need HELP, LOW Carb & Low FAT...is it possible??
I have lived low carb for 2 years, now to some stomach issues I can no longer eat "fake sugar", which if course is a staple in low carb diets.

Maintainers ~ How do you maintain?

What…

Food and Fibro ~ Eating badly = pain
Some day I will remember that when I vary from my pretty low carb diet too much that I will pay for it even after.....Every time I eat badly for a day or two, I hurt more with my Fibromyalsia pain for at least 3-4 afterwards. There are certain foods that can cause it to "flare up", and they are also the foods I know I…

being held accountable....
I have found in my years of gaining and losing, that having to be accountable to someone, every day....really helps!!! It makes you think twice before you but something in your mouth!

Finally in Control!!!!
In a world where you pretty much cannot control anything....I have finally learned I can control one thing. MY WEIGHT!!! For years I was a yo-yo dieter. Up and down the same 20-30-40lbs. Finally Jan 2010 I had enough. I chose the controversial HCG. While I do not recommend it for everyone, very few actually. (Don't shut…
