Update I have kept off the weight. My final weight was about 187 if i remember. This morning I weighed in at 180.4 lbs so for a total of 26.6 lbs. I have lost a total of 35.6 lbs this year. I feel so much better and my belly doesn't shake when my heart beats anymore. I exercise regularly, and lift weights. I still watch the carb intake. I eat carbs, I'm just more conscientiously watching it. I eat apples, they supposedly help with the metabolism and keep the dr. away. Thanks and good luck to all.....

New weight update

So this morning I hit my milestone of 185lbs. I found these low carb wraps called "FLAT OUT BREAD" and the are real tasty to make a pizza on. The only thing wrong with this product is they have a weird sensation, kind of like you are chewing on aluminum foil. Strange.

Assesment

So I feel that this has been worth it. Absolutely. I spent $45 for the HcG, and have lost a total of 20.2 lbs. This morning I weighed myself and the scale read 186.8 lbs. I haven't met my goal of 185 but I am still working towards it. That is a little more than $2 a pound. There are people that spend way more on that. I am now in phase 3 which is the maintenance eating. No Carbs. No Sugar.

I feel so much better. The coolest thing was that I had to go and buy new pants well I actually bought some used ones at the thrift store (D.I.). I tried on a pair of 34's and they fit! with room to spare! I normally wear a size 38. So there is a little testament that Dr. Simeon's HCG protocol works.

I would do this again, if I needed to. The other thing is, this diet and I say diet because of the calorie counting that you have to do, but I have learned which foods are low in caloric value. I have also learned that I can eat without eating crap. (Carbs, Sugars, high fatty foods)

From Memorial weekend to Labor day weekend I lost about 10 lbs, net. This was from sweating it out at work and I stopped drinking Coke and Mt. Dew. From Sep. 13th or so I have lost 20.2 lbs on HCG. That is a total of 30.2 lbs this year. Awesome.

If anyone has questions I will help you out. I will be periodically posting random weigh ins and updates that I am keeping the weight off.

Before and After...

So the full body shots are the before and the closer ones are the after. I feel embarrased putting these up but oh well....

I will be putting up my final thoughts on here later either tonight or tomorrow.

FINAL WEIGHT

MY FINAL WEIGHT ON HCG: 189.0 lbs. This is the weight I will need to maintain for the next 3 weeks. Still no sugar or starches. Today is the start of eating 1500 calories.

Last night I made this flax meal bread. Not the best tasting but it has no sugar and starch in it. I will probably get used to it. So for breakfast I just ate an egg sunnyside up on toast and will top it off with an orange at work while everyone else will be eating donuts today..... "ummmm....donuts....."-Homer Simpson.

ANyways I will be posting before and after pics this afternoon.....

THE END IS HERE

Well I survived the experiment. I have lost a bit of fat. My stomach and chest are a lot flatter I will be posting my final weight tomorrow as well as before and after pictures. Stay tuned...

Day 17 morning weigh in

So Day 17 morning weigh in: 188.8 lbs. So I am 3.8 lbs from my target weight. With 2 more days of HCG and 5 days of 500 Calories. I have been reading more and more about the Phase 3 Maintenance part of it. During Phase 3 one still needs to avoid sugar and starches like the black plague. Which means I'll have to make and alternative version of Pizza. My neighbor has baked some flax bread and so I think I will make my pizza with that. My wife has been a trooper through all this. She just wants to be able to go out and eat. Pretty soon Hun hang on.
