TEN POUNDS GONE!

Hello, fellow HCG-ers, and other interested parties! Actually it feels good to finally say I'm an HCG dieter myself, after studying it for months but not starting until now.

Well, I have a great report--so far I've lost 10 pounds! Of course that includes the weight I gained from loading, but I don't think I've been down this low for quite a while--maybe a couple of years! And hopefully it will keep dropping.

I think I've gotten the hang of the shots, and am surprised that it really doesn't hurt at ALL to stick the needle in--it's more when I take the needle out that I've felt pain, and sometimes my thigh muscle with hurt later (I'm doing IM in the thighs). But overall, it's gone much more easily than I thought.

The tough part has been not eating when I get hungry. Okay, yes, this is my 11th injection day, and I'm still feeling hungry at times. Not as bad as the first two days, but enough--so I guess I'm going to check potency and re-evaluate.

I've stuck to the diet pretty well, and it's been interesting to see how already my tastes have changed. I now LOVE the liquid stevia, when I didn't before, and I use it in everything. I also have learned to like the ACV dressing with lemon juice and stevia, which didn't sound too good to me. I've also tried a few recipes that were great. For one, the miracle noodles were outstanding, and I can't wait to order more--a real treat! I also tried a spinach salad with chicken and strawberries, and it was great! I'm also amazed that I now like fish so well. Before, I didn't really care for it much unless it was fried, so I didn't have it much. But now, it's a real treat.

It also hasn't been too hard fixing meals for my family that are different from mine--but I do need to watch so that boredom with the foods I'm eating doesn't set in, and then I want some of theirs! But I'm hanging in there.

Thanks for reading, and the encouragement people have left behind! Until next time, Merry
