hello everyone

[needadietbuddy]

Hello!  I am a 29 year old mother of two, im a nurse, so i work long hours and eat whatever i can find because im RAVENOUS by the time i get to sit down, (LOL).  I went for my initial visit at the Weight Wise clinic here where i live and that visit consisted of weigh in, before pic shot, and nutrition/program class.  Im very excited about starting the program,  I go in tuesday for my first shot and visit with the doc... im also interested in a diet prescription, however, phentermine makes me want to climb out my skin...so i think ill try the tenuate, its supposed to be not as extreme, but it works... so anyway....this is the deal, im MORTIFIED...my body fat percent is 47.3 and my bmi is 38.7  and my weight is 247 im 5'7" ...i knew i was big...but GOLLY!!!!! I almost died when the paper printed my stats out....im here for support and accountability...im hoping that reading your progress will keep me going, and maybe, should I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME PROGRESS (lol) that will inspire another woman...im not dying to be thin, or very vain at all, but i would like to be under 200 lbs and we will go from there......i would love to find a diet buddy for support......good luck to all, and wish me luck as well.........

[LadyHope]

I can be your diet buddy, I am getting started on the protocol tomorrow and I want to lose about 80lbs..
:)

[needadietbuddy]

Thanks....what are you going to try?

[LadyHope]

I am starting the Dr. Simeon's Protocol as described on Kevin Trudeau's book. 500 cal diet with 200 iu hcg shots daily. How about you? I plan to record my progress weekly with pictures and measuring. I have tried it all and can't lose the weight, instead I keep gaining... It's very discouraging, but after a lot of research I feel this may work. I did Nutrisystem and lost about 15 lbs in 2 months, but gained it all back and doubled once i stopped... so, hope this works.
:)

[needadietbuddy]

I am doing a program that consists of B12 and Myoden injections, prescription appetite suppressants and its a 1000-1200 cal/day diet.  my first goal is that i would like to lose 30lbs before i turn 30 (june 22nd)  if i begin Wednesday morning (march 21st) that gives me 2 months, hopefully i can do it......even if i dont, thats the goal i have set.....if i reach it, id like to lose another 20 by summer's end......and then another 15-20 by thanksgiving.....i think setting goals in those increments may help me by keeping it interesting........where do you live?

[LadyHope]

Sounds like a good plan! You can do it! I live in Florida actually. I hope to lose 60 by my birthday in October, then 20 more spaced out. I took my first shot today. I feel ok. I noticed I wasn't as hungry as a regular day, I took some other suggested natural supplements in the morning. Later tonight I will go for my first walk - it's recommended one hour a day. I also measured myself in the morning and took pictures from different angles. I am avoiding looking a them because I can't believe that's me! I am horrified but hopeful. :)
Where are you from? Where do you live also?

[needadietbuddy]

Well, Thats really great that youre off and rolling already!  I cant wait til Wednesday Morning....I get my shot tomorrow afternoon, but I figure I will start fresh on Wednesday....I live in Louisiana.....originally from Houston.......if youre anything like me LOOK AT THE PICS, lol....that usually motivates me..........dont you hate that, like you think youre all cute and then somebody goes and takes pics and it ruins your day because you really got dressed up or something and you thought you looked good???? But i suppose that everyone goes thru that, slim or not .....we are always our worst critics......Something I noticed that kind of inspires me is that Even though I cant (or wont) officially start til Wednesday, i havent done any "last suppers" ....you know, binging before the big diet?   Maybe this time Im ready.......we shall see, cant wait to hear back from you!  Lemme know how youre doing......

[hope2beslimquick]

I too would like to join your group. I have started the B12 shots, and Phen last Monday. I have lost 8lbs in one week. I really cant tell, I figure it must be water weight, but it makes me feel alot  better the the scale doesn't say 192-195 it now read 185-187. it gives me hope, that I might actually drop the weight. Right now as we speak, I am at work, and I am going through somewhat of a withdrawel! LMAO AHAHAH im serious, I haven't had much cravings, but right now I have a little headahce, and a bit sluggish. I have had nothing but energy, but this morning I didn't even work out. maybe my body is just tired today, but I am really close to going to buy something I have no business buying. I am trying to be strong, and looking at my clock. I am 26years old. my height is 5'8 I want to loose 30lbs. After having my three children, I am now ready to drop those lbs. Lets start off by asking what did you have to eat today? Snacks and meals. The better you plan your meals, the better results you will have. I have saved money and dropped some pounds, just by bringing my lunch, and breakfast and snacks everyday!

[LadyHope]

I'm back!!! Ok guys, I am trying not to get too excited since I've had so many failed results, but OH MY GOSH the scale says I lost 4lbs in 2 days! On the protocol it says you have to weight yourself every morning after emptying stomach. My first shot was on sunday, I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and see more pounds gone. I haven't experienced any side effects so far. I am on a very low calorie diet, which i tried before without the hcg, but wasn't able to do more than 5 days as i was starving. At least now I feel normally hungry, around 12 and 5pm - much better than 4,5 times a day.
Since I have so much to lose, I will do 2 phases with a month in between.
Will keep you guys posted!!!

[needadietbuddy]

Well its day one of the plan for me..... i got my shot yesterday...and started the tenuate this am......so far today ive had cheese and crackers (200 cal)     one slice of toast and a boiled egg (no butter or salt) (140 cal)  for lunch i had and sandwich and half a banana (315 cal)  right now a pear (75-100cal) and for supper a tv dinner (280 cal) ive had more than my minimum water requirements for the day and its only 5 pm....hopefully after i eat my tv dinner tonight i wont eat anymore.......i havent exercised today, but im a nurse and do alot of running around at work.....besides.....baby steps.....LOL  anyhow  just checking in with yall    ps. i go thursday to get my 2nd shot.....i wonder if i should weigh or not....nah...maybe ill just wait til my one week mark.............my sis is doing this same thing in Houston........she takes B12 and Myoden shot....and takes Phentermine...she lost 9 lbs her first week, but she is 22 so im not expecting to lose that much.......but i am DETERMINED this time....maybe this is the one.........

[raleigh34]

I just started with a weight loss clinic,  my first week I lost 8.5 pounds.  I am taking Phen, 1/2 a 37.5 pill.  The full pill makes me feel weird.  The first few days I felt a little strange but I forced myself to drink a ton of water and the side effects are gone.  I really think 1/2 a pill is the solution for the side effects of phen along with alot of water.  It may be just in my head but I definitley feel like I have more energy.  The plan I am on also consists of the lipovite/B12/B6 shot once a week,  an herbal supplement 3x per day and 1 herbal cleansing pill per day.  It is important that you stay regular (sorry if that is gross (; , when you cut your calorie count it can throw your body off a great deal which can cause bloating.  I am trying to find creative recipes so I don't get board with the things that I am eating.  I found a great bar made by South Beach that is high in protien and only 140 calories.  My doctor said it was good to eat.  I would love for others to share what they are eating and any lowfat recipes.  Salads with chicken get very boaring.  Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to hear about everyone's results..it is very motivating!

[hope2beslimquick]

WOW, it seems like everyone losses 9lbs a week. This week is a little slower. I am still at the same weight, but it has not been a full 2 weeks yet, just 1 week, and 3 days. I hope to see atleast 2lbs off by next Monday!
Oh, and stop with the TV dinners, they are NO GOOD FOR YOU, to much sodium, you will gain water weight...just thought I would let you in on that little secret. Stick with fresh food, food you cook yourself.

[linnea]

I'm really looking forward to starting the Weight Loss Cure Protocol.  Looks like that's what you're doing.  Is it possible to find out where you obtained the hCG injections?

[bkn]

Hey all! Just read your comments...and I would also like to join you and your weight loss experiences also.  I think I've tried at least every diet once. I also live in Florida and just started the Lipo-Vite injections yesterday and appetite suppressants today. My girl freind from the gym did this diet and looks fantastic...Good motivation.  I have also done hcg injection diet in the past and lost 25 lbs.  I'm trying this diet now because it seems much easier to stick with calories aloted in a day to eat.  So here's to a new program, and hopefully a support system of complete strangers....So I wish everyone good luck.

[NETTY41]

HI I STATED THE DIET HER EIN FLORIDA WHERE I LIVE WHERE I GET A LIPOVITE SHOT ONCE A WEEK.

I SAW A POSTING WHERE SOMENE JUST STARTED THE SAME DIET.  I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF IT?

IS IT WORKING?  I AM DOING THE NATURAL ONE BEACUSE THE DIET PILLS MAKE ME TO NERVOUS.

YOU MENTIONED YOU USE TO GET HCG SHOTS.  WHERE DID YOU GET THESE ?  WERE THEY ANY GOOD? ARE THEY COSTLY?

[bkn]

I will end my first week on the lipo-vite diet tomorrow.  It seems to be going well.  I have not weighed myself yet but my clothes do fit a little better.
I'm finding it very easy to follow the diet guidelines.  The diet pills seem to work, although I wake up starving from the overnight stretch.  The pill that they supplied me can be given up to 3 times a day but I started only 2 times for now at their recommendation. This pill does not give me heart palpitations as did the high dose of phentermine that I used while on the HCG diet.  
As far as the HCG injections and diet pill combo, the price was a little higher.
This diet does work but the calorie intake was limited. I couldn't have done it without the appetite suppresant. What part of Florida do you live in? I live in central.  I can give you more info on the center I went to if your in this area.

[NETTY41]

I GO TO A CLINIC IN CLERMONT FLORIDA.  JUST STARTED.  HOW DO YOU LIKE THE DIET?

[NETTY41]

WE MUST GO TO THE SAME CLINIC.  SOUNDS JUST LIKE MINE.  THEY PLACED ME ON 1200 CALORIES A DAY.

I KEEP NOTES, COUNT FAT GRAMS I CAN ONLY TAKE IN 25 GRAMS A FAT A DAY.

I DECIDED ON THE NATURAL WAY. THE OTHER PILLS GET ME  JITTERY.

I WOULD LIKE TO LOSE LIKE 50 LBS.

DO YOU EXCERCISE?  I JOINED THE LOCAL GOLDS GYM

[bkn]

yes we do.  I started at the clermont office 1 week ago today.  I want to lose 25 lbs and I do exercise daily.  I am also a member of Gold's Gym, but not in Clermont.  I stopped doing the classes and just focus on the cardio machines keeping my heart rate at the fat burn stage for 40 min each day.  I only do Body Pump class once a week until the weight drops off.  
The HCG diet I did was thru Transformations (www.yweight.com ) ...I think thats the address.   Good luck.  Please let me know how your progressing.  I will weigh myself tomorrow morning...I hoping to have lost at least 2lbs.

[NETTY41]

HI WHAT A SMALL WORLD.  YOU HAD POSTED THAT YOUR FRIEND FROM THE GYM HAD DONE GREAT ON THIS DIET.  DID SHE DO THE NATURAL LIKE US OR DID SHE TAKE THE DIET PILLS(PHEN)?.  I AM ALLOWED 25MG OF FAT A DAY AND 1200 CALORIES.

I MADE A LARGE POT OF BEAN SOUP YESTERDAY.  TASTED GREAT AND HAD A LARGE BOWL FOR DINNER WITH 1 BROILED SHRIMP SKEWER.  IM TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE NOTES AND THE LITTLE BOOK HELPS ALOT. TO HELP ME WITH THE WATER INTAKE I PLACE LEMONS IN THE WATER WITH A SPLENDA.  ITS GREAT LIKE THAT
PLUS YOU CLEAN YOUR LIVER OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

BOY THE ALOE PILLS REALLY WORK. LOL!!

LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT GOOD LUCK!!

P.S HOW IS THE PUMP IT CLASS?

Well Hello Everyone, its been a while since ive had the time to sit and post but i weighed in on thursday (the 12Th) and since the 21st of March i have lost 17.6 pounds!!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How is everyone doing?  Ive been eating whatever i want on Fridays.....i think this may be what helps, it tricks my metabolism into speeding back up, and then I take advantage of it on Saturday morning when I start up again........

[Sunny30]

Today I went to a weight loss clinic. I weighed in at 144 and was told I should weigh 100 pounds at 5'0 tall. We bargained for 115 since I was very thin at 118. I was given a B12 shot and prescriptions for Tenuate and Phentermine. It was costly but the accountability factor and prescription won me over. In addition, I am supposed to cut carbs entirely in my first few weeks then slowly reintroduce some as I lose. www.mdbethin.com. I will let you know how I make out during my weigh in on 4/23. I just had enough with being so consumed with my weight and wanted to try this.  

[sb6]

Please let me know where i can get these shots at in the chicagoland area. I need to lose atleast 25 pounds before my wedding in june.  Please someone help me.  I would like to atleast wear a bikini on my honeymoon!

[jsassyxo]

[bilsgal]

hi, I have just discovered lipodissolve (which scares me) and lopovite (which interests me) and now when I am researching lipovite, I hear you guys talking about HCG. Is this the same as lipovite injections? And some of you are talking about doing your HCG orally, is this in a pill form? Where do you get the pills? I never knew any of this existed until I saw an ad in my local paper advertising lipo dissolve injections and I started researching it and I guess you could say a whole new world opened up to me that I never knew existed. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!!

[disabr]
