CHEATING!!!!

2010-09-17T15:51:00.000-07:00

According to Dr. HCG ... NOT ME!!!

Faulty Dieting
Few patients will take one's word for it that the slightest deviation from the diet has under HCG disastrous results as far as the weight is concerned. This extreme sensitivity has the advantage that the smallest error is immediately detectable at the daily weighing but most patients have to make the experience before they will believe it.
Persons in high official positions such as embassy personnel, politicians, senior executives, etc., who are obliged to attend social functions to which they cannot bring their meager meal must be told beforehand that an officialdinner will cost them the loss of about three days treatment, however careful they are and in spite of a friendly and would-be cooperative host. We generally advise them to avoid all around embarrassment, the almost inevitable turn of conversation to their weight problem and the outpouring of lay counsel from their table partners by not letting it be known that they are under treatment. They should take dainty servings of everything, bide what they can under the cutlery and book the gain which may take three days to get rid of as one of the sacrifices which their profession entails. Allowing three days for their correction, such incidents do not jeopardize the treatment, provided they do not occur all too frequently in which case treatment should be postponed to a socially more peaceful season.

Dietary Errors
Any interruption of the normal loss of weight which does not fit perfectly into one of those categories is always due to some possibly very minor dietary error. Similarly, any gain of more than 100 grams is invariably the result of some transgression or mistake, unless it happens on or about the day of ovulation or during the three days preceding the onset of menstruation, in which case it is ignored. In all other cases the reason for the gain must be established at once.
The patient who frankly admits that he has stepped out of his regimen when told that something has gone wrong is no problem. He is always surprised at being found out, because unless he has seen this himself he will not believe that a salted almond, a couple of potato chips, a glass of tomato juice or an extra orange will bring about a definite increase in his weight on the following day.
Very often he wants to know why extra food weighing one ounce should increase his weight by six ounces. We explain this in the following way: Under the influence of HCG the blood is saturated with food and the blood volume has adapted itself so that it can only just accommodate the 500 calories which come in from the intestinal tract in the course of the day. Any additional income, however little this may be, cannot be accommodated and the blood is therefore forced to increase its volume sufficiently to hold the extra food, which it can only do in a very diluted form. Thus it is not the weight of what is eaten that plays the determining role but rather the amount of water which the body must retain to accommodate this food.
This can be illustrated by mentioning the case of salt. In order to hold one teaspoonful of salt the body requires one liter of water, as it cannot accommodate salt in any higher concentration. Thus, if a person eats one teaspoonful of salt his weight will go up by more than two pounds as soon as this salt is absorbed from his intestine.
To this explanation many patients reply: Well, if I put on that much every time I eat a little extra, how can I hold my weight after the treatment? It must therefore be made clear that this only happens as long as they are under HCG. When treatment is over, the blood is no longer saturated and can easily accommodate extra food without having to increase its volume. Here again the professional reader will be aware that this interpretation is a simplification of an extremely intricate physiological process which actually accounts for the phenomenon.

I am super PROUD to show you that having a baby wont mess your body up for life! I feel as good as I did before I got pregnant.....

I was sooo afraid I was going to be looking at this in the mirror forever... Believe me that is what it looks like a few weeks post baby. Your skin is wrinkly....

But thank you to the ever so wonderful LAY IT ON THICK....

(for my one, only ONE cm. long stretch mark above my belly button)

Thanks to my healthy diet while I was pregnant... (OK that one was a total joke for my husband, because he was afraid I wasn't going to feed her one good thing while she was in my belly)

NOT thank you for breastfeeding... You were not on my team this time...

BUT thank you to my SKINNY DROPS and willpower...

This is me now.... 9 weeks 2 days POST BABY

Thank you to my sweet hubby for taking these wonderfully CHEESY pics for the blog. He's the BEST!

Now I can't wait to finish MAINTENANCE, go to the State FAIR, and know I won't gain 5 lbs!

I will track and give tips on the Maintenance plan. Its simple, BUT the most important part!

(These results are just Real, and they are just me... Still no time for make up as a mommy! Thank goodness for my Permanent Eyeliner! I told my Sis-in-Law, my new definition on MakeUp, LIPGLOSS!!!!!!!!!)

Day 22

2010-08-31T16:08:00.000-07:00

STOP TAKING DROPS....

BUT

Continue the diet like usual these last two days!

My weight this morning was less than exciting....

Down but... of course you wish it was more....

I was at 158

TOTAL 16 LBS

I was hoping for more like 155ish but NO such luck.... I did have travel and a baby thats not sleeping consistently. I know that not having good rest definitely affects how your body is going to burn fat.

I hope all of you are doing well...

I will be doing my after pictures as soon as I am done to prove to everyone that I have been ON IT!!! I want you guys to see if you think I shrunk where I had stored fat...

It wasn't my arms or my lower legs... It is all in the MIDDLE! yippe....

I am 5.5 lbs away from pre-baby weight now.

I would say not SHABBY for 3 weeks!!! It took me 10 months to gain it!!!!!

My skin on my tummy has amazed me... it has gone back to just like before... I am loving that... Because I think I had myself psyched up to be a sloppy mess. Thank you Lord for the miracle that you do with our bodies bringing these wonderful angels into this world!!! I am ready for #2 ;) (when its time)

I have kept it sooo simple but today I just got to the point I cant even think about steak....

I was struggling thinking I still have some to lose and I am sick of eating the same things.... I loved the cauliflower salad Mom made me this weekend. I got the stuff to make that and have it in the fridge. Got some different sauces and such for some new flavors! I am looking forward to this week now!!!

If you guys have hit plateaus you DONT have to do apple or steak day....

try switching up what you are use to... different veggies raw or cooked... hang in there... you will see some change.

SO SO

2010-08-24T11:47:00.000-07:00

I am still stuck!!!

Lb wise... Still the same.... It happens really...

I am going to try and drink even MORE water today.

I measured though.... 3.5 in off the MIDDLE.... Yep that "Tenley POOCH" is shrinking fast!

Second week is always the slowest pound wise for everyone...

3rd week it picks back up a bit...

It is hard not to focus on that number and get down, but I tried on my favorite pair of Rock and Republic's and they were on and buttoned. That pretty much does it for me, not going to lie. I am SECRETLY in love with those jeans... SHH (don't tell Nick) ;o)

Yep they are mens... Crazy I know I am not sure what man would like this style, not my man... I got them at the RACK and they were in the women section. I loved them so much bet every time I tried on other women's ones they were REALLY low. Not into the juck showing when you bend over, thats why I loved these so much... Did my research and the BUTTON fly only comes on Mens... There you go I am a cross dresser. Or I guess someone who doesn't like to show the goods. Nevertheless, I love these BOY jeans on this GIRL.

Hope everyone is DOING GREAT!

Everyone that I have talked to is having huge success DO SHARE!!!!!!

Nick had a really crazy week and weekend at work... So my crazy self decided I was going to mow the lawn so he wouldn't have to on our family day SUNDAY.

WELLL...... NOT smart!

104 degrees at 2pm in the afternoon. PURE HUMIDITY.

took me about an hour and a half Drenched.... and dizzy... I come in for water... And start thinking GREAT... Im not going to lose because of how strenuous this was. About like a 4 mi run and I am not kidding.... We have an OLD push lawn mower. Our house is brand new so it has new sod and a new sprinkler system so it is all uneven and lumpy. My husband keeps saying oh its fine... I almost drove straight to Home Depot and bought him a new one... That was practically slavery. No one should have to do that!

With that being said... WAY to many calories burned and It will mess me up for sure.... WE WILL SEE

What if...

2010-08-22T03:23:00.000-07:00

The question I get asked a lot is... What if I don't have 20-25 lbs to lose ???

What if I just have 5, 10, 15, to lose? Is HCG for me???

YES

Skinny drops are the Fastest, Easiest, and Healthiest way to get off any stubborn pounds.

No matter what you have to lose the cleansing and detoxing benefits are amazing. We have had so many people complete the diet and get off of many medications they are on.

As many of you know, before I was on HCG, I was lactose intolerant. After coming off, I had some on accident, and for once I wasn't at home in bed moaning. It was a MIRACLE in so many ways.

We have seen in drastically improve Diabetes, High blood pressure, relieve painful symptoms of Fybromyalsia, Thyroid problems, Heart burn, Indigestion, and Migraines.

How would you do SKINNY DROPS to lose this amount of weight?

1. Start the diet like normal. Take drops while doing your load days.

2. Say beginning of Day 1, you have lost your 10lbs that you were wanting to lose. HOORAY!

3. On day 11 you will continue the 500 calories as usual, BUT do not take your drops.

4. Day 12 you will be the same.

5. Day 13 you get to start your maintenance plan.

Its as simple as that. You will be on maintenance for the same amount of days you were on the diet, so that would be 12 days in this case.

Once you have completed it, you will be able to keep the weight off just like someone who did the Full 23 day plan.

Morning...

2010-08-21T08:57:00.000-07:00

GOOD APPLES.....

They did the trick....

162

TOTAL 12lbs...

I am starting Day 13...

THANK YOU SKINNY DROPS... I am getting there fast!

Day 12

2010-08-21T08:55:00.000-07:00

Sorry SO late

I woke up this morning and hadn't lost any so I opted for APPLE DAY...

ALWAYS A FAV among the experienced!! (Nat D) ;o)

ALL YOU EAT IS 6 apples all day...

YOU WILL FEEL MISERABLE FULL! I was trying to shove my last down last night.....

(this is great if you are busy, or doing something that you can't prepare meals like traveling!)

I was full... but I told my husband last night.. ALL i want is one melba round, and he said NOPE you would have to blog about it! ;O) OKAY fine I wont!

DAY 11

2010-08-20T01:46:00.000-07:00

IT is recommended to take a day off the drops once every 7-10 days so your body doesn't become use to the HCG. This was my NO DROP day.

Morning TEAS And WATER

1pm 3.5oz of chicken (weighed Pre-cooked) and green leaf lettuce with vinegar. 4 MELBA rounds.

Afternoon WATER

4pm Apple

7pm Leftover Sirloin patty from yesterday heated with yellow mustard. Steamed Broccoli with sea salt and pepper, and 4 MELBA rounds.

WATER

10pm Magnesium and Potassium

It was really hot today and I was kinda dragging. I did not have my B12 with me. If I had have taken it, I would have felt a lot better! Remember to have yours with you anytime you need a little boost. I think mid morning and early afternoon are GREAT times! Listen to you body, and take accordingly. Some people do once a day, some like my mom 4x per day. It is really up to you. Find what works.

GOOD Morning

I weighed in this morning...

164.5

Now I am at a total of 9.5 down at the start of DAY 10.

REMEMBER:

2010-08-18T03:54:00.000-07:00

Post any questions that you may have in the recent comment boxes, and I will get tight back to them.

I had one girl start a few dys ago that wanted to SPEED up weight loss and go running every night. I know it sounds crazy but, you WONT lose nearly as much to try and workout while on the diet. While that is really hard for some, that is great news for others. Like me, I don't even have time or access to the gym right now.

There is no way I can take Tenley and leave her with a 16yr old girl that doesn't care and will sit and do homework and not even look up at the 18 kids she has in the room. I have also realized that older kids love babies and they want to but their grimy hand ALL over her. NO THANKS. We don't have family here, so it really isn't an option.

It all ok on HCG. You burn such a HIGH amount of calories already being on the DROPS that if you burn extra by exercise it make your deficit so HIGH that it starts making you body think it staving. That = not losing as much, because your body tries to hold on to stored fat.

We have all tried not eating much, DOESNT WORK. And if you do lose a few, as soon as you LOOK at food its back. STARVING is not good for the body...

So everyone one on it with me, try to stay away from the gym for you 3 weeks, and then continue afterwards! But I never had to workout even close to how I had to before to keep it off! I JUST LOVE HCG!!!

Thanks everyone who joined the Blog and have told their friends. We are having TONS of readers from all over the country. I really hope it encouraging HEALTHY change!

AMERICA REALLY NEEDS IT!

DAY 9

2010-08-17T15:28:00.000-07:00

I stayed the same again this morning!

SOME WOULD BE DISCOURAGED, BUT NOT ME.

I know I will keep rolling along. Big loss coming my way... I could be losing more inches these past days. Im ok with that my pants are sure needing that!!!

Today we opted for the FULL blown

STEAK DAY!!!

Love them they are a miracle!

They sound hard but they aren't really! Lots of water and tea or coffee! (also B12)

You have NO FOOD until Dinner..

Then you have BIG juicy steak... 6-8 ounces! THAT'S it... EASY!

We will see what it does for me!!!!

I feel GOOD today!!! Not tired or sluggish at all... I have been cleaning away and playing with Tenley all day!

Testimonial from Facebook

2010-08-16T14:53:00.000-07:00

I did the "skinny drops" after I dried up when i was nursing my son who was 5 months old... I was sad about that part but really excited to get my baby weight off.. This was baby number 3 for me and also.. he was 11 pounds 4 ounces and I got HUUUUGEE... but after hcg i lost all my weight and am back to normal!! ( i lost my last 14 pounds in three weeks) it really does work.. this sounds so much like a infomercial but its true...

BOO

2010-08-16T14:51:00.000-07:00

Today My weight stayed the same...

TOTALLY normal since I had a 2.5 loss yesterday.

If I stay the same again at my morning weigh in, I might try a plateau breaker.

I am not down at all, 8lbs in the first week is great!

I know a lot of you are starting so post your loss in comments please!!!!

FYI I had a girl ask me a question that I felt like I needed to share. She said she looked and looked to find a vinegar with no sugar, which did I use?

Remember to look at

INGREDIENTS

and

NOT

NUTRTION FACTS

Natural occurring sugar is acceptable such as your apples, tomatoes, and grapefruit. Vinegar has sugar as a part of its aging. It has not added fructose or glucose sugar.

Thanks Kristin!

1 cucumber diced

1/3 cup purple onion chopped tiny

1/2 cup of Balsamic Vinegar

Garlic pepper, Frech Ground pepper, and Sea Salt to taste.

(Note: I usually make this the night before I want to eat this. I put it in a rectangular dish so it marinates well. The day afte,r it has soaked in the to veggies more and tastes even better.)

I ate really late tonight because my parents were coming into town, and I wanted to wait on them. We will see on the scale tomm, but I bet you can definitely tell...

That's why I like to eat early and go to bet early.

ASTONISHED

2010-08-13T17:58:00.000-07:00

I had no idea...

We have had over 500 visitors to the blog in the last 2 days.

AMAZING.

I am not an author by any means. I am not the BLOGGER that everyone can't get enough of. So please, bear with me!

I am just a NEW MOM that wants to be healthy and feel good about myself! Just like many of you.

I hope that this is reaching people. I want to share the good news of how to change you life... It's easy. For generations women have struggled with body image and wanting to look the best that we possibly can.

I hope to help many people be freed from that, it is a stinky way to live... It makes it hard to enjoy all the blessings in life that we are given DAILY. Don't miss out on another one of those. BE HAPPY. It makes me feel happy to know I am working on taking care of ME!

WHAT.... Did you just here that!!!!

TAKE CARE OF ME!

I think many MOMs get so busy doing that, being a MOM, that they lose THEMSELVES!

Yes, we are to love our children the greatest duty and blessing we can be given in life. We are to be there for them, teach them, and guide them. We are to nurture all of their needs. We have been given that gift.

But, I feel the Lord tells us we ARE BETTER at all of that, if we are taking care of ourselves physically and mentally. He wants us to take care of our bodies.

Feast on the food of the LAND. (That isn't Micky D's)

The HAPPIER

and

HEALTHIER

you are the

EASIER

it is to be the

BEST

that you can be.

AT EVERYTHING... WIFE, MOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER, AND FRIEND.

(okay.... It also helps just to feel SUPER HOT!!!)

I am not saying the only way to do any of that is with THIS diet, because there is many ways. Everyone finds their own personal happiness in their individual way. I just know for me personally, if I feel good about myself when I wake up in the morning I can accomplish anything. I know that my Father in Heaven smiles at that. He wants us to be AMAZING... We all need his help. When I feel like I am doing my part, I am more willing to accept the Strength I need from the Lord.

OKAY enough of that.....

Let's get SKINNY!
(and stay there forever!)

I seeee.....

169

So nice to see that number 6 in the middle again....

But really looking forward to the 5!

NOTE:

My weighing time is 9:00am. Find yours and stick to that same time everyday. Not just morning because there is always a difference in your 7am weigh in and your 10am. Just be consistent!

DAY 5

2010-08-12T15:00:00.000-07:00

This morning I weighed in at...

170

That's 4 lbs down so far!

I like the feel of that...

I usually keep my foods very simple.

One of the "Plateau Breakers" says to NOT mix you veggies.

For example you could make salsa and put on chicken or a salad. To make that you would mix a few veggies, tomatoes, peppers, onion. You are allowed to have all of these on the diet.

I choose to not mix veggies very regularly because I feel that I lose more weight if I don't. That does not mean that you have to do this same thing. Feel free to make salsa, gazpacho, or have multiple veggies with one meal of any kind.

Everyone's body responds differently.

You can also have Organic Tamari soy sauce. Clients of ours LOVE making a stir-fry with it sautéing onion, peppers, and beef or chicken.

For me the sodium in it causes me not to lose as much, so I would just rather skip out on that. Do my 3 weeks and then eat all the SUSHI AND STIR-FRY when I am done!

KEEP A JOURNAL OF WHAT YOUR EATING.

YOU WILL FIND THAT CERTAIN FOODS WORK GREAT WITH YOUR BODY.

Mine are STEAK, CHICKEN, BROCCOLI, APPLES, GRAPEFUIT, and EGGS (on maintenance)

Just because those are mine, doesn't mean they are yours.

If anyone knows there's please leave them in the comments section.

YOU EAT WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES!

Yep that's right... ANYTHING

CHEESEBURGERS

ICE CREAM SUNDAES

MEAT LOVERS PIZZA

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

okay, you get it!

The diet recommends you try and have healthy fats like Nuts, Cheese,Avocado, Tuna, Salmon on these 2 Days.

It says to EAT TO CAPACITY.

That doesn't mean one big meal.

It means eat all day breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and snack.

You begin taking your drops.

3 times per day. Leave them under your tongue 2-10 min. Longer the better I think.

My Day 2 of loading was yesterday thats when I take my BEFORE picture. (I will load it later)

I already start to not really be that hungry in the afternoon DAY 2, but make sure and eat eat eat. This helps support your energy level and such while the HCG gets into your body. It takes about three days.

The first few days of the 500 calories is a little hard just retraining yourself not to hit up the pantry or grab a morning Coke.

After the first weeks its a breeze, and you have lost around 7 LBS so that helps!!!

Don't forget to do your grocery shopping on one of these days.
Its all about being prepared.

Aftermath...

2010-08-10T15:06:00.000-07:00

Ok here is the damage...

I am 5'8 and a half.

I weighed 152.5 when I finished HCG the first time.

I weighed 154 the morning I found out I was Pregnant.

Everyone in my family gained around 50 lbs when they were pregnant. That scared me to death.

We sell a diet product... I can't be confused as the BIG RED BARN!

Thankfully, I weighed the day before I gave birth and...

26 lbs would be the MAGIC number!

I WAS AT 180...

THRILLED, I thought I would have a 7lb. baby and at least another 5-7 of other stuff :)

I thought I would come home and have somewhere around 10-15 to lose.

I was planning to breastfeed, and everyone said that just makes the weight fall off....

But I knew I would eat healthy and it would be now prob. Right back to normal in days.

HA...

Needless to say I came home didn't weigh the first week I was really swollen from all the meds and stuff.

I got on the scale and to my amazement I had only lost 5lbs.

I WAS AT 175...

Yes I know she was a 7 lb baby! Makes no sense.

But I was so in love with her it made no difference to me. I knew that it would come off.

I did start losing slowly.

WEEK 4 post baby

I WAS AT 168...

My milk supply started going down, so I had to start eating a lot more and eating creamy things.

It didn't help much, at 6 weeks they switched her to formula. She wasn't getting enough food.

I weighed the next morning

I WAS BACK AT 174...

I decided to get this going it was TIME...

BRING ON THE HCG!

Not to mention that pregnancy really changes your body and I have some stored fat in some no good places. We will see....

The History...

2010-08-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

Nick, my Husband, and I started an HCG company over a year ago after our astonishing results with the diet.

I was just amazed... I have done it all...

Atkins

Weight Watchers

South Beach

Detoxing Diets

3 Day Diet (I know laugh it was a Fav!)

Cabbage Soup Diet

Metabolic

And last but not least...

EVERY DIET PILL THERE EVER WAS!!!!

I admit I was a diet junky...

I have really always been on and off diets. I have never been extremely overweight, but I would be if I was'nt always doing one of these. I was on Weight Watchers I think starting in 8th or 9th grade. I had a girl ask me one time when I was a Jr in HS why I was always on a diet because I wasn't fat... I answered I would be if I wasn't on a diet. It sounds crazy. It was a battle I never wanted to fight if it got out of hand, so I knew I always had to watch it. Being naturally thin was not the genes I got!

When Nick and I first started dating he looked at my book shelf and started laughing because I owned ever diet book ever written!

With PRIDE I can say I have thrown them all out!

After I completed the HCG diet I had lost 17 Lbs in 23 days... It was simple and SO fast.

I didn't have any hunger pangs, jitters, or CRAZY moodiness.

Anyone that has dieted before knows ALL about these!!!

I really believe the HCG Diet is...

THE WEIGHT LOSS cure.

In 3 weeks I was a size 6. I hadn't seen that number since 9th grade (on Weight Watchers)

I kept it off every bit and I was eating normal...

DID you hear me...

ACTUALLY EATING

cake balls I had made for a tailgate and NOT gaining any weight!

HOOORAY for HCG!!!!

then... I GOT PREGNANT 4 months LATER...
