Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Greetings, I started the injection HCG diet 13days ago and have lost 12lbs. Starting weight 335. I am very happy so far with how this going. I have lots of health issues and my doctor has been pressuring me to have the weight-loss surgery but I dont want to do that. I like the science behind this and how it works in my body, and the fact that it makes total sense. Mentally and Emotionally I am at a place right now to do this for the long term. I am planning five 30 day phases. I am using the free opensource software CRON-O-METER to track my food, weight and exercise, plan my meals, and create recipes. I love this software and it is making this diet easier then without it. I am putting the recipes I do make on my Allrecipe.com page, http://allrecipes.com/Cook/13263418/Profile.aspx. I am mixing my veggies within a meal to be able to have better tasting food, but am staying within the 500 calories a day. I made announcement on my facebook page about what I was doing so that my friends and family could hold me accountable and support me. I am so glad I did this because the support so far has been great. I also use brain stimulation (Brain Massage) MP3's for relaxation and focus. They really help me get to sleep and stay asleep better. I like sublimination CD's to help stay focused, and to envision what I want to look like and who I will be when I get there. I imagine my new body doing the things I want to do, riding my bike, playing tennis, hiking in the mountains, playing baseball with my boys. I am looking now for a CD that will help me change the negative chatter in my brain so that I am not so hard on me and that my mothers voice about my weight might be lessened. I am going to be buying a pedometer to track my steps per day. I used to do this and was extreemly helpful to set goals to work towards. A person in shape averages 10,000 steps a day. I know from before when I had an office job I averaged 3000-5000 steps a day at work. Now I am probably lucky to get 1000 with my bum knee and cane. I am trying to address all the bases for my weightloss; Support, Emotions, Diet, and Excercise. Glad this group is here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
