cannot loose weight

[minnyjoe]

I have been going to Weight Watchers for a year, the first 4 months I lost 18 pounds. I was satisfied with this because I felt it was a sensible plan. But... the last 8 months, no matter how hard I try, and stick exactly to the plan, I'm gaining! I have now gained back 9 of the 18 pounds. This is just not worth it. I have no energy and am getting very depressed. About 10 years ago I took Fastin diet pills for a while, lost all the weight I needed and kept it off for 10 years. Now that I'm gong through menopause, I can't loose weght no matter what. I would love to take Fastin again, because it gave me so much energy and I was able to loose weight, but I now have high blood pressure(controlled) and don't want to chance it. I have read a lot on this site about the HCG shot, sounds like it is safe with High blood pressure (under control). Does anyone know where I can get this in Minneapolis area?

I've been on the HCG shots since June 2005 and I've lost 92 lbs.  I too had high blood pressure controlled by medication.  I also took diabetes medicine when I started.  Today I am off all prescription medication.  I started at 262 lbs and a size 26/28 now I'm 170 lbs and 14/12 clothes size.  I feel better now with more energy than I have in 20 years.  I did the 1200 diabetic diet with the shots and the adipex.  I still take the shots and adipex, but I'm almost at the end.  I only want to lose 20 more lbs.  I walk now, I do exercises now, at first I was too big and my legs wouldn't do the things they do now.  But I started losing before I started exercising.  It has worked great for me.  My doctor did go through the normal testing before starting any of this.   He has since moved from this area and now I go to a different doctor and she is not as effective as my orginal doctor and I miss him greatly.  He brought alot to this program.  But HCG has worked for me and I've had no side effects or problems thus far.
