I am currently doing the HCG protocol I work with a Naturopathic Physician and I am having really good results. I lost 30 pounds the first 40 days. I found for me the strictness of it is one reason I am doing so well. If I am going to stick a shot in my belly every morning, then I am going to follow the protocol. With such a short list of foods to eat, I know I only have to shop for like 8-10 different things and I am all good. I was never hungry on it and I can not wait until my "break" is over and I can get back on it.

 we can do this ladies!! I'm three years out and need to get rid of the rest of this weight! I've lost like 130 and gained back thirty. (IT HAPPENS) so yeah ur plan sounds good though. I tend to crave sweets...so I'm going to cut out all sweets, no fast food and mostly salads. I'm prob lacking in the protein department so I was thinking about adding shakes back into my routine! (UGH) lol but I would love to keep in contact....this is my email [email protected] if anyone wants to like keep track of eating daily or anything....message me! oh and I'm thinking about doing zumba or bellydancing..just to do something exercise wise...

Thank you so much!!

Count me in! I want to lose as close to 65 pounds as possible. I know it sounds like a lot but I am starting at 365 :(
I look forward to checking in with you gals!

It took me a little over a year to lose 124lbs.  I am actually in the process of writing a list of some of the things I did that worked for me because I get asked this question so often. I will send it to you as soon as I am done with it. In the meantime, the best tips I can give you is to eat real food (not diet bars and shakes), to treat yourself well (don't pressure yourself to lose weight fast, don't beat yourself up if you mess up a bit, forgive yourself, move forward and make better choices next time) make changes in your diet and lifestyle that you can live with for the rest of your life. For example, I LOVE icecream, so I treated myself to icecream or frozen yogurt almost every single day as long as I worked out. I just ate lowfat instead of Ben and Jerry's and instead of eating a 1/2 gallon I ate a pint. I just made a commitiment to myself to make better, smarter food choices and to exercise at least 5 days a week. I ate lean chicken or turkey instead of beef, I used 100% whole grains instead of white for breads and pasta. When eating out, I order everything on the side so I can control what and how much I use of sauces and toppings. I ate breakfast every morning. I made sure I ate every 4 hours to keep my metabolism going. I kept healthy snacks in my car and purse so if I was out and starving, I could make a smart choice instead of grabbing fast food or something bad for me. EXERCISE. You don't need to start out with a gym membership and a personal trainer. I just made a commitment to myself to move my body in some shape or form for 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I started by walking in place in my living room while watching tv. Nothing fancy, no equipment, just walking in place. When 15 minutes got too easy, I did 20 and so on. As the weight started to come off and I got healthier I did more. I didn't add weight training or abdominal exercises until I had already lost about 80 or so lbs. I lost 100lbs of my weight just exercising in my living room with my Nintendo Wii Fit. It was fun, so it made it easier to keep exercising. The most important things you need to remember is that you are worth it. You are beautiful right now, no matter how much you weigh. Losing the weight will not make you happy if you don't learn to love yourself first. Being thin doesn't make you happy, but healing yourself inside and learning to take care of yourself and love the person you are does. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me. BTW, I added you as a friend. All of my pre and post plastic surgery photos are on my profile. I am in various states of undress due to the nature and location of my surgeries, so please do not share them with anyone. I posted them on my profile to help other women who are embarking on their plastic surgery journey.
Take care of yourself. I am so excited for you!

God bless you,
