It's the small things...
I have been to Knott’s Berry Farm in SoCal many many times. There has always been this one ride, this single ride that I always dreaded getting near. Anyone I was with always wanted to go on it, but I knew from the first humiliating experience that I was too fat to go on it. I would try at the “sample car” that sits in front of the entrance to the ride, but the buckle would never...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm thinking about doing the HCG diet, but I guess you could say I have some reservations. I'm afraid it won't work very well for me because I'm already on a VLCD... Sorta slipping into unhealthy habits I suppose. I usually have between 300-600 calories a day. Will I still experience the quick weight loss from HCG (like 15-25 pounds a month)? Oh, for reference, I weigh 189...

Anonymous asked: i just received my hcg in the mail. now i have to buy a food scale to weigh my food and pray like hell that this will work and just go for it. My only question is the whole menstruation issue. Dr. S's blog said no hcg for those on their period. Did you not take it while you had your period? He also said start at least ten days before you get it.. but i don't know how to work around...

The countdown begins…. 8 days remain on VLCD.
Anonymous asked: being at your lowest weight in 13 years (WOW! congrats!!) how does your body feel? I mean..do you feel like its fat loss as opposed to the de-bloating loss of water weight? I can't imagine how excited you must be right now!! I want that feeling!!

plus2hot-deactivated20110506 asked: You may have answered this already but what made you choose HCG? It works for you and that is fantastic and you are a positive for this diet and can break the bad hype about it. What made you say this is what you want to try and hope it works? Congrats on all you have lost already!
Anonymous asked: how is your energy on the 500 cal? And I've been reading a lot about HCG & I get the impression that you can take it upto 40 days, right? At least that seems to be the case with the injections..why not continue to 40 days & then take 6 weeks off? btw I THINK YOU'RE DOING AMAZINGLY! stay strong! You inspire me!

My boyfriend and I are doing the hcg, starting this weekend. (Superbowl weekend-gorge days)
I have attempted the hcg diet previously, but failed and actually put on a few lbs:/
How did you start your first few days off, and were you using the drops when you were gorging?
Thank you
