For those of you that are not familiar with hCG, I will provide a short explanation: When you get pregnant your body creates a hormone called hCG which allows your fat cells to open up and suck in as much food as possible. This is the storage used to feed the baby for the 9 month period. On the hCG diet you inject the hormone into your body or place drops of the hormone under your tongue for a period of 23-40 days. For the first 3 to 5 weeks you eat a VLCD or very low calorie diet of 500 calories. This diet is very strict and allows for specific portions of food and excludes sugar, carbs and fat. While you are on this VLCD you need to drink TONS of water. What happens is your body lives off of the fat cells tha hCG opens up so you are not hungry and lose weight SUPER fast. You lose an average of 2-3 pounds a day if you stick to the VLCD and take the shots daily!! SOOOOO I started the shots on Saturday and for the first 2 days you eat what you want to get some fat in your body and get ready for the VLCD. Tomorrow I will not be able to eat anything but whats on my list. My current weight is 186, my goal weight is 160. I CAN DO THIS!!!! Stay tuned for a daily update on what I am eating and how much I'm losing...

I have been considering trying this. I will look forward to your updates. Maybe I will jump on the bandwagon.
Good luck! My husband did this and lost 60 pounds! It works!
You go girl. Just the thought of 500 calories & no caffenie makes me cranky.
Where do I get me some of this HCG stuff?.....As you know we had babies at the same time my friend and I too need something to get my body going!
I get the hCG from my aunt, she is a nurse and mixes the shots from hCG and a binding liquid into insulin syringes. Sounds scary but its really not. She is the best price around that I have found, she will do 40 shots for 250.00, which is a smokin deal because most people are charging 400-600 or 75 bucks a week. Let me know if you want to do it, its totally worth it to me!
You can do it! Love you!
