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!

What is interesting to me here is that the article points to the link between diabetes and obesity, hinting that solving the obesity issue is key to curing diabetes. My grandfather died from complications of diabetes and my father has been taking insulin shots for several years now. When I look at my body, I am headed right for that destination. I have to do something about this soon! I have seen what diabetes has done to both of them, and I want nothing to do with it! Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:04:32 GMT http://www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcg-blog.html#vLogs-up-and-running! Hello all, Well, this weekend was a very productive one. I was able to get the technology right and now we have two seperate vLoggers. Each of them have a dedicated forum also! A few new pages were also added in the cleansing and detox area. I updated the poll section also. You will also see a small part on the soliciting for donations via paypal. When I started this project I had no idea what was involved. I was lucky enough to get it started with sitesell (if any of you are thinking of getting started on a website of your own, follow the link at the bottom of any of my pages to sitesell, you will thank me for it later!) Anyways, I had no idea what was going to be involved. The prime motivator for me was that at that time there were three forums I could readily find, one of which was locked (essentially shut down), another was not populated by many comments and the last (and biggest) was extremely difficult to search for specific topics. As a result I set out on the task of building a good forum based on a great software platform. One with many features and add-on possibilities. vBulletin fits that bill. The hope is to build a friendly community. One that encourages open discussion and most importantly one that is respectful. We will get there! As Always Be Good!

In response to a majority of the questions that I have received I have posted a new page to the main nav-bar with 2 (so far) sub-pages. More should follow this weekend. I had no idea how much work this would be. It is certainly fun though! Ok, a thought I had today when I read an email I received today. It asked me if I knew of any clinics in a specific area (Michigan). Well, the answer is "maybe". I have looked at alot (I mean ALOT) of clinics all over the US. The problem is two fold. I do not have the resources to check them all out, and I am seeing now that I dont have the time to post everything that I have learned about. My project for video blogs is currently on hold. My complete review and experiences with some cleansing products is on hold. I have received several requests to link with some other health related sites and have not gone to check them out and verify if I would like to exchange links. My biggest problem is right now I cannot access the website email while I am on the ship. The servers on the ship prohibit us from accessing webmail...so when the ship is underway or I am here on duty, I cannot access the emails. Since I get about 3-4 a day and can currently not access them every day, maybe I can talk folks into posting to the hcgdietforums.com --> I can access there and respond. As always, Be Good! Curt Sat, 19 Jan 2008 08:11:03 GMT http://www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcg-blog.html#Ship-is-in-Santa-Barbara! Hello all! Well, the ship got underway and we have pulled into Santa Barbara for a port visit. The Navy League chapter here adopted the ship long ago (makes sense...President Reagan was from here and the ship is the USS Ronald Reagan!) Anyways, I have spent some time here just relaxing and thinking alot. I have the vBulletin forums up and running with the vBadvanced content management system along to boot. That was nearly a nightmare. I had no idea how involved that would be. And as it turns out, to make the site how I want to make it will take a good bit of coding...and I am not a coder! Anyways, the last several days has seen a good group of inputs from the website and two new members to the forums. It helps me to see that people are acutally looking at the site. My goal was to make a useable place to make the site and to make the information searchable and useable. The vBulletin forums software will do that for us no problem. I was wondering if I should offer a dedicated forum to a few individuals who have already completed at least one full round of the HCG Diet. If you are interested in having your own forum in the HCG Diet Forums, please contact me...we can talk! as always, Be Good! Curt Mon, 14 Jan 2008 02:08:21 GMT http://www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcg-blog.html#now-powered-by-vBulletins!! Hello all! I am pround to announce the the forums and now powered by Vbulletins. Soon to be powered by VBadvanced. What does this mean to you? Well, this is simply the most powerful tool on the internet to run a forum with. The options are near endless! This software is heavily database driven using php programming and does not come cheap. I hope to make this the best HCG Diet forum on the internet, and I am thinking that it can be using the features in vbulletin and vbadvanced. Now, the only thing I need from you is your preferences! If you have been to other forums and know of a feature that you would like, let me know by contacting me "directly" (as always, I do not ask for your private information so it is completely anonymous) I certainly have my work cut out for me now developing the forums software. take a trip over and make a post in the introduction forum! thanks! and as always... Be good! Curt Wed, 02 Jan 2008 06:46:46 GMT http://www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcg-blog.html#HCG-Diet-Forums Ok, so I am back in San Deigo and working on the ship. I will be spending the holiday making preparations to launch the HCG diet forums on a dedicated host. I have chosen vbulletin to power the HCG Diet Forums but I can see that it will take alot of work. I need help with choosing the proper sub-forum names and topics. Also, I know how a forum can get over excited posts and want to start it off right with the best set of guidelines for posting etc. Look for a new poll page to tell me what you would like to see on the new forums. Pretty much anything is possible with the software so dont be afraid to ask for anything. The poll page should be up by the end of the day and the NEW HCG Diet Forums should be up by the end of the week. Additionally, the dedicated hosting will also allow me to host video logs for several people. If you are currently documenting your progress with periodic video logs, please contact me to discuss the possibility of hosting them on the forum. I am investigating the possiblity of providing you with a blog of your own associated with the hosting of the vlogs. I am looking to host 4-6 people to include the video logs and free blog of their own. As Always, Be Good!

Over the next several weeks, if all goes right, I will be posting her videos as she tracks her progress through a complete phase 2 of the protocol. If any of you are ready to get started and want to discuss with me the prospect of hosting your VLOGs on your progress, contact me directly. I am looking for a few more...up to about 5 or 6 total. Those chosen will eventually get their own dedicated section on the site where I will host your videos and a dedicated section in the forums. As always, Be Good! Curt Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:07:42 GMT http://www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcg-blog.html#HCG-Diet-Forums-now-available Well, it is not anywhere near the final version, in fact this is just going to be a temporary hold over until I can get a dedicated server up. www.hcg-diet-forums.com/hcgdietforums.html see you there!

I will be spending much of my time here in Yuma with the girl of my dreams and my parents and kids. I have updates comming for a few pages and if time permits I have an entire bank of pages I will be posting. I have had a few people contact me and I see a few votes on one or two of my polls. Looks like everyone wants a forum so I am working on getting one started. But I will not post one until I am sure I have the right hosting, etc. Be Good! Curt Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:37:38 GMT
