Maybe I'm back....

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted but I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing great. Life after HCG is sweet! I have been maintaining about 6 or 7 pounds over LIW and am very happy with my results. However... since I never quite got down to my goal of 136 I always had it in the back of my mind that I would do another round some day. I was holding out for when I finally got my husband on board to do a round with me. And now it looks like he is actually ready to do one. Don't know when we'll start. Maybe later this month, or maybe we'll wait until after the holidays. The start date will really depend on his schedule and we're looking a when he will have a good three weeks to dedicate to the plan. It would be a short round since he only wants to lose 20 pounds or so and I've just got 10 to lose. So it should be a breeze after losing 58 pounds on my previous three rounds. I'm just hoping that my DH finds it as easy to stick to as I did. And that he doesn't have any unplanned trips to Atlanta that seem to pop up unexpectedly these days. He's taken on a new role in his job and that means more travel. So we have discussed that possibility and he thinks he can manage to stay on protocol somehow if he can't get out of a trip.

So if anyone out there still checks up on me... Stay tuned. And I'll blog about our experiences...

Thanks for being here...

Hi Becca! COngrats on your succes! I applaud you for all the hard work! I wanted to do did you ever cheat while on the HCg? Today is Day 11 for me and and I have lost 10 pounds. I ate Mcdonalds today and I am hating myself at this point for that. I couldnt control it but I have since made up in my mind tht I WILL NOT do that again. I am trying to see if I can just start from here and keep going or if I have to start completely over since I messed up so bad today. Thanks for answering!

Teresa,
I would occasionally have extra protein or fruit, but I rarely ate anything that was not on protocol. If I had to eat at a fast food place I would try to get a salad with grilled chicken or something like that. It's risky because you don't know what additives or seasonings they use but it's better than nothing. And MacDonalds would be the worst because everything there is processed and has additives. But if you do slip up and eat the wrong thing, don't dwell on it, just go back on the protocol the next day and get focused again. It may set you back a day or two but it won't wreck your whole diet if you don't let it.
Good luck to you!
Becca

Hey B... It is so nice to see that you're maintaining well. I can tell you... doing this with my DH has been great! The guys seem to be better at it than we do! They don't have all those hormones to deal with.. ya know. I hope you do start back up after the holidays. We have about the same amount to lose now and it would be great to do that with you!
