Tried hCG, B12, liptropic shots?

Hi everyone!

I'm a journalist in New York writing a story about people around the country who use shots for weight loss, like hCG and B12. If you would like to talk to me for my article about your experience -- good or bad -- using them, or deciding NOT to use them, or not being able to find them, please contact me. (Send me a PM.)

Thanks!
Alex

I have done Hcg diet. The one Dr. Simeons developed. I get my shots through a clinic in FL called Transformations. I have had great sucess on this diet. My husband and I did it back in May 07 together... But going to Italy after our diet and a few other trips and some times not watching what I eat. I put some weight back on..

Well I'm back to doing it again.. So I have lost around 10 pounds since the 11th. I have never had any side effects by using Hcg.  The diet does work as for keeping it off. It's the same even with this diet. You just can't start eating carbs and sweets and not except to gain weight.. So this time I'm going to try to stay away from carbs and sweet as much possible and cut down on the amount I have...

Frankly I don't think there is any thing unsafe about using Hcg. I would do the diet again if I have too.. But I'm not going to try to use it as an easy out. I just have to stay away from carbs and sweets. That's what get you...

between sept 8 and dec 1, 07, i lost 40 lbs.  i then did the 21 day maintenance and continued to eat organically.  I did not regain from sweets or carbs.  This was hcg.  I also did not exercise during reduction, but I did join a gym to tone in January.  it has been great.

B-12 shots do not make one loose weight.........don't know where these people are coming from, but it's got to be mind over matter.......
We all know, diet pills by prescription help, but you must also eat right and after 30 years of working in pharmacy, most people go right back to being overweight........you can't take pills, or B-12 shots and not eat the right foods and exercise and expect to loose weight.........

Oh well, I lost 40lbs., not even trying, thought I had cancer.........have nothing all is normal, so we'll see if one can figure this out.
