Day 1-3

I have become so overweight it's just ridiculous and depressing. I have now started a new diet called the hCG diet. I know a lot of people are very skeptical about new "fad" diets, but at this point I'm desperate enough to try pretty close to anything.
I've heard a LOT of good about this diet, including that it has actually proven to reduce the risks of breast cancer and that the side effects greatly out weigh the side effects of being obese or overweight. I have been battling with my weight since I've had kids. It's now going to be 5 years. I have wasted 5 years of my life worrying about how I look because of the weight I've gained. I'd like for once to forget about how huge I am and just live and love life. I have my friend Tracy to thank for introducing me to this diet. She works for an office in Phoenix that sells the product and that also gives great support to its clients. There is a nutritionist and doctor there at the office as well.



The first two days were just "loading days". These were the "stuff your face until you can't anymore" days. I guess I should have weighed myself but I didn't.
So we're starting today with the measurements. I was completely shocked when I weighed myself. I haven't weighed this much since I first got out of the hospital with each of my boys. I'm disgusted. So here goes nothing.

The only side effect that I have felt today is a headache in the morning but was easily cured with Tylenol. I don't know if this was a part of the diet or not, since I frequently get headaches. I haven't really been hungry at all today. So far I am impressed with the way I am feeling. We'll see how tomorrow goes!!



Weight- 188.4
Body Fat- 36.5
H2O-46.4
Bone-69

  1. I'm really happy for you! I know you can lose the unwanted weight. You are the perfect person for something like this being that you are always busy, have the will power and are food contentious. This diet is rigid but simple.
    Although most people do see this as a "fad' diet it's been around since the 50's. HCG is a naturally occurring hormone so your body uses it better than other pharmaceutical diet supplements.
    Stay positive & focused! Call me if you need any help. xoxoxox Good luck!
