Heather in OK Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just wondering if anyone else has done this and how it worked for you. I'd really like to hear from those who have followed Dr. Simeon's protocol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2abcd Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Do a search. QValencia, Tiff in Texas, Pamela H in Texas, LvBnHome's dh, ThatCyndiGirl, Mariann NOVA and maybe others have done it with success. I'm going to start in Jan.

Negin Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have the homeopathic drops and am about to start loading on the last day of my period - in the next few weeks. It really helps to do lots of research, to read up on those forums, and to plan well. As people keep telling me, it really is a mental thing. Takes lots of determination and desire. I have anywhere from 10-20 pounds to lose and I'll be going on the drops for 43 days, unless, of course, if by the end of 26, I feel content. But I'm usually one who loses weight very slowly. ETA: You don't look like you need to lose weight. You look great! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in OK Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 That's because you can only see my head in my profile pic and that pic was taken about four years ago. :lol: I am about 35lbs overweight. I would be happy to loose 25lbs though. I will probably be starting the homeopathic drops in January. There's NO way I could do this over Christmas. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianne-TX Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I had not heard of HCG for losing weight until today. My MIL recently lost 55 pounds doing this. I'm going to have to look into it. Where do I begin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 My mom did it with great success, she lost about 20 lbs and has kept it off for over a year. She did not order the HCG through the Pounds and Inches people, she got it from Ebay for a lot less money, and it worked just as well. The Ebay company is Powermax. HCG has a Facebook account and there are discussion boards that she found very helpful. Good luck!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I had not heard of HCG for losing weight until today. My MIL recently lost 55 pounds doing this. I'm going to have to look into it. Where do I begin? I like these forums and have found them very helpful. I only heard about hcg a few months ago and am planning to start later this month. There are 2 types of hcg - the homeopathic (drops or pellets) and you can order these from many places and the non-homeopathic (which you have to inject, mix and all other stuff that I don't know much about). I'll be going for homeopathic drops. The key things for success, in my very humble opinion: 1. research, research, research - spend time reading up and going on those forums. 2. plan this for a time that's suitable for you. You don't want failure. The hcg diet is very mind-oriented, if you KWIM. You have to be mentally ready for this. 3. there are 2 loading days in which you should eat as many healthy fats (and other foods that you may crave and really miss) as you can. Those who don't load sufficiently, have a very hard time. There are some other important things to bear in mind. But those are the top 3 that I can think of right now.

ThatCyndiGirl Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well, I started it, but 5 days into it my blood pressure was OUTTA' CONTROL HIGH and the pelvic pain I had been experiencing became unbearable. It was a no-go for me. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a no-go for me. :glare: So sorry. :grouphug: Were you on the homeopathic or, if I remember correctly, you were on the non-homeopathic? Maybe, just maybe, the homeopathic won't do that to you? Just a thought. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
