Jan 19, hcg weight loss programs

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:32:27 GMT

Hi all, I wanted to let you know that I have started a new website on hcg weight loss programs. I wanted to clean up what I have and distill the randomness of this site into something that might be a bit more helpful to people. The new site hopefully will be a bit more organized, and it is the wordpress blog format so it can handle some comments (which of course I will modify with an iron fist after my forums experience!) Anyways, if you are curious, or if you have absorbed all of this site, go over and take a look! www.hcg-weight-loss-programs.com (if you have suggestions for the new site, use this one to 'contact me directly' and tell me your thoughts) be good!

Hi all, Wow, its been a while since I was last online to talk about this round. As it turns out, my friend was sent out of town on work orders and needed someone to watch her dogs... Being the dog lover that I am, I jumped on the chance. So right in the middle of the week I made a bunch of routine changes to allow me to basically move over to the house with the dogs. What that did was get me out of my routine access to my computer with all of the passwords and what-not plugged in. Long story short, I didn't make any updates all week...But here I am today! Let's see. I'm down over 20 pounds now in 14 days. It has been easy and it has been hard. Not all of it is rosy, but hey, go take a look at the pics on my facebook page! It is worth every minute of every day to watch what you eat and make a decision if you should really be eating it or not. A break through weight for me would be below 200 pounds, and I am nearly half way there! In 14 days!!! Not sure if there will be stalls in the future that drag it out, but it is very encouraging to be sooo close to 220 now that it gives me great motivation and even greater satisfaction! Please, join me on facebook. The "click for more info" link at the bottom of this post takes you there. be good! Curt

Sep 26, hCG Diet VLCD 7 complete

Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:42:27 GMT

Ok, it is Sunday 9-26-2010 and I have completed 7 full days on the hCG Diet. So far I have lost just over 13 pounds and am really close to an average of 2 pounds per day. Along the way there were a few learning points, and some reinforced concepts. New- (well, I should have known!!) not all 'spices' and 'sauces' are created equal. Turns out some things have sugar added. You REALLY have to watch that ingredients label. I mean, come on!!! Garlic powder has sugar? (yup!!! in some that I found on the shelf). New- Not everyone is excited about my progress. There are many interested and supportive folks, but some have nothing to say but negative things. "its unhealthy" blah blah blah. I was shocked by one person who flatly told me "its all water weight, you'll just put it back on as soon as you stop" and "the only way you can lose weight is to get it through your thick skull that there are no cheats- you have to earn it." -this coming from a twinkie eating fatty just like I started out as. Reinforced- water consumption is critical for me. Having built that plan and then executing it has really helped me with getting enough water in and, I think, with the hunger and weight loss. Reinforced- PRE-PLANNING is probably the most critical attribute to my success in sticking with this diet. Granted I strayed from what I was told to do, but that was a result of my misunderstanding of what was allowed. There is NO WAY to get through this program without planning out your week and, most importantly for me, the next days meals. Hunger does come sometimes. The best way to beat it is to be armed with your plan. I know what I will eat the next day and when I will eat it. If I left it open to be decided as I go, I would soon be rationalizing things and wind up eating way too much for what I really needed. I've posted some new pictures on facebook and put another link on this post for you to go find them. The before and after pics aren't all that impressive (fattie still looks like he needs another twinkie) but the pictures of the scale every day surely tell the tale.

Hello all! Well, as usual I was distracted and did not make an update post on the diet. Hmm... how does 231.8 sound??? That sounds really good to me from the 242.6 I was after loading Sunday morning...but it is really not that far from yesterday's weigh in of 232.6. Its cool to be down 10 pounds from my pre-load average weight in 7 days. Don't get me wrong! Ok, so what happened over the last couple of days?... I have validated what I have learned about me several times before. I am a creature that needs a structure to guide my daily activities. If I sit down and plan my meals for the next day then it becomes really easy for me to be successful the next day. If I approach a day without a plan of action, I find that I can wander a bit and wind up eating more often (and more) than I should. (this applies to before the diet). Since starting the diet, I have noticed that I have a bit more time at work because I arrive with a plan already. I know I will get there around 6:30 and will eat some yogurt at 7:30. I know at 9:30 I will have half a fruit, at 11:30-12 will have lunch (turkey and vegies) at 2 will have another half fruit and at 3:30-4 go home. The whole day is now planned out before I even step out the door. And you know what??? It works for me!!! That is how I have been getting through the days so far... Be Good! Curt

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 01:28:19 GMT

Hello all! Well, It dawned on me that I did not log in what it was I was eating for the previous days, so now I'm trying to remember... Sunday was VLCD 1 and I remember having a yogurt for breakfast. Lunch was some chicken cooked in a pan with some lea&perrins and a handful of salad and half a large apple. Dinner was actually really really good, I had bought a package of fillet mignon that was four servings of 5oz each. I broiled it and had my favorite tomato and onion with vinegar and oregano. (I had a slice of bread toasted too). About an hour later I had the other half of that large apple. Monday (yesterday) I had yogurt again for breakfast. Lunch was an open faced turkey sandwich and some strawberries and cucumber slices in vinegar and black pepper and some salt. I was so happy with the fillet- I did it again, again with the tomato and onions. The morning weigh in was 235.4 and I posted a picture of the scale again over on facebook. Kerri contacted me yet again and we did talk about some hCG diet related stuff, for sure! I will be making some videos and posting them soon, and I would love it if you guys could take a look (and if you agree they are good, make sure to "like them" both on facebook and youtube!) Be good!

Good morning all!! Yesterday was really good for me. I managed to make it all the way through with no hunger pains or issues with the diet at all. In fact, I wasn't actually 'hungry' when I got around to making lunch. (It was that time of the day so I hit it up). Ok so this morning I weighed in at 237.6 pounds. You can follow along, and discuss also at the facebook page. Make sure to come there are friend me up!!!

Sep 19, Day 2 of the loading done, starting VLCD today!

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 16:27:44 GMT

Hi all, Well the first two days, with the loading, were fun but also a bit taxing. I did fairly well on Friday because I was at work and didn't have a bunch of stuff available to me. But I did get a lot of stuff in. Saturday was a different story. I managed to eat way too much at the fair. The fair turned out to be a really good place to try to spend the day "loading". Corn dog, ice cream, pizza, the biggest hamburger I ever had, and a huge stack of curly fries. I could not finish it all (we were at the fair for 8 hours!). This morning I am starting the low calorie stage. We will see!!! 242.8 pounds is the starting point. be good! Curt

Sep 17, New Forum Opportunity

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 03:46:16 GMT

Hello all, I have had some pressure from friends and visitors alike to open up some form of forum. As many of you know I had a devil of a time with the last attempt. The spammers were faster than the speed of sound and just flat out swamped me with nasty pictures and stupid links. So, I have opened up my facebook account. You can find me by clicking this URL http://profile.to/hcg-diet-forums/ and from there you can "friend" me up and we will get this forum started there for now. (if participation grows enough to support a forum I will do my best to open one) Currently I have cut all of my "friends" down to just one so when you get there, join up and we will have some good one on one chats until it gets crowded! (and for now the profile picture is of my car...I will upload some better pictures soon!) http://profile.to/hcg-diet-forums/ be good! Curt

Sep 16, Made the order, got the goods!

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 15:34:00 GMT

Like I was saying earlier, I feel really fat! Well, so I weighed myself and was shocked. I did it at night so it was after dinner and some beers, but it was the most I can remember ever weighing! I tipped in at 245 pounds! Knowing that it is best to take my weight measurements every day at the same time, preferrably after waking up, so that day time weight fluctuations can be eliminated I chose to do it in the morning. I weighed in three days in a row after the morning bathroom visit and found that I am averaging 241.6 pounds. Now, the Navy tells me that for my height I should be under 192 pounds. This isn't a "you're healthy" scale, but a measurement where if you weigh more, then they must take additional measurements to verify the percent body fat is below the standards. (For my age, it is 22 body fat that I should be under). So, as this applies, it is understood that I am definately below 22 body fat if I weigh 192 or less for my height. Anyways, when I do the math, this means that I am at least 50 pounds overweight. Time to fix it NOW!! I sent Kerri a text and she agreed to take me on as a coaching client. I will be treated just like every other client in her program. She sent me to her website and I ordered (and paid via paypal) the 30 day supply and coaching. I will need more, for sure, but this is just to get it all started. That was done on monday. On wednesday I received a package from Kerri. It contained the hcg and several documents. Reading through the papers, it explains the program as modified by Kerri. I have been given a list of things I can and cannot eat as well as some tips and common questions and answers. Today is thursday and I am spending today getting ready for the loading (she calls it shock) period that I will start tomorrow. Two days of shock will be friday and saturday (saturday is a local fair with plenty of fried foods that match well with the shock. This will also give me time to go shopping and stock the house with the 'correct' food items. There you have it folks- my starting weight is 241.6 (will go up during the shock/loading period) and my waist this am was 48.5 inches at its biggest part (super relaxed stomach muscles to let it all hang out). My neck at its fattest part just below the chin was 20 while the place where my tie goes is 18 inches. Wish me luck! Be Good! Curt

Sep 13, Going on another round of the hCG Diet!!!

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 18:14:30 GMT

Well, When I did the program the first time around I had good results going but then was interupted with my move overseas. It has been two years since then, and I am still excessively overweight. No wonder because I never went through the entire protocol the first time. I have just ordered a full round of oral drops and coaching from Kerri at her website. The cost was very reasonable considering my first attempt was at a cost of 300.00 for the shots. I will keep you posted, and will probably build a set of pages for it. be good! Curt

hCG Diet Phases And Their Meanings

Aug 30, First encounter- a good one!

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:46:10 GMT

Hi all, Stated earlier, I have recently received several requests to promote websites that, after I took a look at them and tried to have interaction with the owners, I believe to be completely commercial and in some cases downright inappropriate. I began to notice this several months ago, and after a few in-depth conversations with Tammy from the hcg cookbook, I concluded that she feels the same way. (in fact, I think she really pointed this out to me...) Anyways, I was scrubbing the data logs of this website and found an interesting link in from a site that I knew nothing about. While I can say that it was flattering to have a link in from another "hcg" site, I was immediately on guard. I went to the site and was not initially thinking I liked the site. At first glance it seemed to me to be a bit commercial with too little information. But the site actually had a real phone number on it...and that made me think- toll free numbers are so easy to get, but to put a real number up there is something totally different. My thinking was that there must be someone, real, behind the site. I gave it a try and called the number... What resulted was COMPLETELY REFRESHING!!! I was treated to a conversation with Kerri, for OVER AN HOUR, about her website. Her site is about hcg, it does come off as commercial, but because it isn't (yet) designed to gather customers from the internet- rather it is designed to provide her existing clients a place to be able to conduct transactions as they continue to order services from her. ***note*** I am not affiliated with Kerri or her website, I do not have personal experience with her program or its successes. What I do have is a very in depth conversation with the gal who COMPLETELY impressed me with what she is trying to accomplish. As I continue to to try to clean up this site, I can tell you that based on our lengthy conversation that I will be adding her links as a resource for you to all look into. Her site isn't main stream hcg. Her program isn't Simeons specific- in fact, her program is a combination of that plus a group that tried the hcg system in the 70's. She has gotten something figured out and, for her and her clients, it seems to be working. If you have not yet started this program, and you are getting ready or are thinking of getting ready... Go to her website, and contact her. Tell her you came from here just so she knows where you came from...you wont get any discounts and I wont get any kickbacks. You will get another perspective on the program, and I think that several of you who are on the fence might just take her up on her program. Kerri at www.hcgcoachingsolutions.com Thanks guys for everything!!! be good! Curtis

Aug 29, Back from overseas deployment...

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:18:52 GMT

Hi all!! Well, it has been a very long time since I was able to put any effort into this site. I was overseas and swamped with plenty to do. Now I am back in the US and add to that my job lets me essentially have every night off as well as weekends! I have spent some quality time in the last several weeks/months chatting with the HCG diet recipe author Tammy. She has been brewing up some more things for the community and I would like to see if I cannot help her get the word out about some of the things. She has been working VERY hard and I can see that she has a passion about this community and cares for it very much. That being said, there have been several what I would call "commercial" interests poking their heads into this area as they see the hcg diet gaining in popularity. With that in mind, I will make an attempt to get to the bottom of many of the questions that have been put to me lately. One of the biggest areas that you have all repeatedly asked me for is a new forum. (remember I was forced to shut down the old one because of the spammers). I have given this careful consideration and have decided that I will wait out and see what Tammy has in store for us. If her plans include a good forum for us all to gather, in a community of us for us, then I will make every attempt to direct link you to her community. If her plans do not include this, then I will look into adding a forum onto this site again. Be forewarned- I will not open it to the public, it will not be readily found by the search engines, and I will screen all persons. It will probably have the need for two sets of passwords also- the intention would be to password protect the web page, and then the forum it is on. (the url wont even mention hcg or forum in it...it will be complete jibberish). All this to ensure a quiet community to keep the spammers out and the commercial interests at a minimum. If you would like such a forum, rather than me sending you to yet another group, let me know...I'll consider it based on your inputs. Thanks for all of your support and "contact me now" messages. I appreciate it!!! Thanks! Curt

Dec 3, I am considering opening the forums again...

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:02:06 GMT

The forums were shut down because of severe spamming that I could not keep off the pages. There were just too many nasty pictures being put up and I could not clean them off as fast as they were being put up. If you would like me to open a forums section again, I am willing but I will do it with a severe set of rules starting with the fact that the forums will be unregistered with the search engines and visitors will have to manually request the url and a password to get access. This will cause the forums to be a very small group of members but will also help to make one of the most spam free on the net (knock on wood!) If you want this type of a forum set up, for free of course, let me know via the contact me directly page. thanks!

Jan 4, Spammers attacked the forums...I had to shut it down

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 01:36:38 GMT

Hi again. Well, I am sad. I had to totally delete the entire forums. The forums were over run by spammers and caused too much traffic on the server. All the activity wound up corrupting the database. The entire forum is gone. None of the information in it is retrievable. It was all deleted in an effort to get out from under the attack of these guys. anyways, I am starting an opt in email list that I ask you to go and sign up on if you want to see another forums script to be installed. Your sign up on the email list will show me how much real interest there is and will also allow me to email you when I start a new forum. I will not be sending emails/newsletters on that list. You should be able to go sign up now at: www.hcgdietforums.com/signup Be good! Curt

Jan 3, Happy New Year!!! please read

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 03:04:51 GMT

Hi all! It has been a long and (for many people) hard year. This site has seen growth a I am happy to say a small following. Being that it is the new year it seems that visits to the site have jumped up a bit. The contact rate has increased significantly and I am getting a lot of the same questions. In an effort to help people find their answers I wanted to make a blog post answering some of the most common questions I have received. 1. What was my experience like for the diet.- I enjoyed the rapid weight loss I had while on the hcg-diet. I think anyone who is struggling with weight loss should seek a qualified doctor and try the program out under the care of that doctor. 2. I dont see a link to buy hcg on your site. Can I bu hcg from you. Where can I buy hcg online.- I do not sell hcg. I also do not suggest any online sources. While there are some people who do suggest online retailers, I would like to re-enforce my suggestion that you do this under the care of a physician. 3. I am thinking of starting the diet, do I need to buy Kevin's book?- I make a pretty lengthy review of the book. You have many resources here and on a few other sites. To me the cost of K.T.'s book isnt that much...so go for it but it isnt necessary. Of note, I have seen a commercial site out there that is offering you a "free copy" of the pounds and inches manuscript as long as you sign up for the email list. I dont know the people running the site but the site is pretty much dedicated to selling you a "guide" and does not provide much info at all. Just my opinion here...you can read all of the manuscript here and on a few other sites without signing up for a sales letter...just a thought. ok, be good... Have a happy new year! Curt

Mar 5, My first appointment completed...starting tomorrow!

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:35:46 GMT

Hi all, I had my first appointment at a weight loss clinic in San Diego today. I will start tomorrow with a loading day. The process at this clinic is fairly simple. They require that a blood panel is done and then you come in to see the doctor. He sat with me for a good while and discussed many things with me. He told me about the history, from his standpoint, of the clinic (a chain in southern California). He told me that he expects the hcg diet they offer to work on 90 of the patients. I got a folder with many pages of information and was briefed by the doctor on the diet and what to expect. The medical assistants taught me how to do a self injection and then made me to do one on myself to see if I can pull it off correctly. In all I am pretty happy with my experience with the clinic. I will not reveal the clinic until I have more experience with this program with them. They only offer the hcg in a 30 day pre-mixed supply. I have to figure a way to keep it refrigerated in all the traveling that I do. That might be difficult...but I really need to lose this weight so I am sure I will find a way. The cost is about 320 for the 30 day supply. It comes with pretty much everything I need for doing daily injections. Needles, syringes, alcohol pads, etc. Its all there complete with instructions on how to do the diet and the injections. I have made two videos and posted them on youtube. You can find them under my youtube screen name kartherma. My starting weight is 239.5 pounds!!! Wow am I a fatty or what! (the height weight standard for my height says I should be 192 or less...so I am 47 pounds over weight as far as the Navy is concerned). ok, that's all for now! Be Good! Curt
