HCG injections/inability to lose weight ???????

I started HCG injections in Dec.2006 and lost 8 pounds....then 2 pounds in Jan......then only 2 pounds in Feb............everyone seems to be having GREAT results with these injections and a diet pill and I am not having the same results....so my Dr. did a thyroid test and it came back perfectly normal.....Has anyone experienced these type of results with the HCG injections......I can't get my Dr. or anyone to give me any real answers as to why I am not able to lose weight.....I eat very healthy......high protein/low carb.....and walk 3 miles daily and just started working out at a gym....but not long enough to have built up "muscle" yet.....Any suggestions????????? I am not obsessed with losing weight anymore.....I am obsessed with my inability to lose weight now......HELP!

I'm really glad to hear that I'm not the only person that feels like they are failing with this. I have been on it since Feb. 10th and have only lost 15 pounds and I've been at that for the last 2 weeks.  
I stay under by 1000 calories and walk 2 miles a day also. I don't know what the magic tool is for everyone else but I sure wish I could find it too.

I think that 15 pounds since Feb. is great !!!!!  Why do you think that you are failing?  How much weight are you trying to lose?  What state do you live in.......the reason that I am asking is that I have been reading on Hcg injections and other people (in different states) are getting HIGHER doses than myself...........and I was just wandering if I am needing a higher dose than I am receiving ????? If you find out any other info about this, please let me know.......and I will do the same.....Thanks !

I am NC. I wanted to lose 40 pounds but my doctor wants me to shoot for 60----b/c that is what "the charts" say I should weigh..If I make it donw 40 then I will be completely happy with my results.
My shot are only 25 which i think is the lowest they give. I want to have mine increased but dont go back to the Dr. until May.
Good luck on your results....

I got 'Pounds and Inches Away' guide -- it's on e-bay.  It is a guide to doing Dr. Simeons diet and has a lot about breaking plateaus, ordering, and everything else to do the hcg diet.  It is working great for me and some other people doing it with me.  Other people have posted good reviews too.  I don't know of a pill in hcg form, but under the tongue liquid is starting to get more positive feedback.  Still the shots seem most dependable.

If you go to the website mentioned in Kevin's book (naturalcures.com), there is an 800# you can call to get HCG.  I called them and got information, but decided not to do it.  I'm doing another approach with a local doctor (Georgia).  If THIS approach doesn't work, I may give HCG a try, especially if I hear more positive results from users.  I hope you find what you need.

i recently found a doctor to prescribe hcg they have offices in quite a few states it's called transformations u can call them and get info on other states i know they have some in texas and they have been doing these shots with 20 years experience they also supply appetite suppressents to help with food cravings only if u want them i like it because u r still being monitored and it's so much less exspensive then mail order and a lot safer if u have any questions email me at ***@**** my first appointment is nov 12 i just feel more comfortable being monitored
since i have diabetes and high blood pressure

You all obviosly bought Kevin the con mans book. He's an idiot a liar a cheat amongst all. How can you all with your different weights stick to the sam measly 1000 calorie diet and expect to lose fat and not muscle? Any doctor that would give you HcG injections is a jerk too, and you might as well get human growth hormone from him too. Go to a dietician and find out what your needs are, everyone has different activity levels and dietary needs. Cardio is not the answer to losing fat, perhaps the scale will say you lost weight but most likely it's going to be water or muscle. Resistance training, some cardio, good eating will give you slow steady, permanant results without falling into the fads and the crooks trying to sell you the magic pill.

I love my HCG shots and would not want to try adn lose weight without them. i have so many health problems, including hoshimotos Disease and PCOS, that hinder my weight loss and I am am doing great with teh shots adn appetite suppressants. i have lost 40 lbs so far adn over 25 inches!!! Even when I go for my monthly checkups and haven't lost but a pound or two, I have always lost inches...the shots are great!!!! I am a believer, no matter what anyone wants to say...the proofs in my clothes and the mirror. I am seeing Dr.Hamel at Complete Laser Clinic in the Valley Hills mall, in Hickory, NC. He also has an office in the Tunnel Rd. Mall in Asheville. I say give it a try...want have you got to lose???? More weight, than you ever thought possible! www.completelaserclinic.com

The reason why it's so hard to find a doctor who does it is because hcg is not approved by the FDA for weight loss which means any doctor who IS doing it IS going agains their code of ethics!  Red flags anyone?  Has anyone been able to successfully keep this weight off after stopping the injections?!?!

I have have lost 18lbs while on HCG and the pill. The first month was easy! But that was mainly water. If you are dedicated in getting heathly, you must exercise eat right and have a life long change. The more weight you loss the harder it gets to loss more. 2 to 3 lbs a month is average. Just keep living healthy and the weight will come off. I have 17 more lbs to go and I know it only gets harder?

Maybe you need to stick with the 500 calories to be successful.  Are you following the protocol by Dr. Simeons?  I lost 10 1bs in two weeks on the diet, but I have cheated some.   My dad lost 30 1bs in six weeks, but he did not cheat.

actually if you follow the original protocol by Dr. Simeons.....it is only a 500 calorie a day diet.  The hcg helps control your hunger to a certain degree, and all I have to say is the proof is in the results!!  IF you have weight to lose......try it!!

I ordered from Body SolutionsRX.com out of Colorodo.  It has been 3 weeks and no product. I have called numerous times and always get transfered to voicemail or given the run around. Has anyone else used this company with good results with shipping. I  am starting to think that maybe I should notify the proper authorities concerning them. Anyone out there have a reason why I should wait a couple of days before doing this?
