mckayleesmom replied: What is it exactly????

coasterqueen replied: Yeah, do tell. I need to get into a swimsuit by September. I'm not even shooting for summer, I'm shooting for September when I got to Vegas.

boyohboyohboy replied: good luck to you!

Nina J replied: I had never heard of it so I googled it . I don't know if I got the same diet you're talking about. But, apparently, the hCG diet involves you injecting your self with human choriogonadotropin, hormones produced during pregnancy.

Sounds interesting. I don't think I could give myself a needle everyday Good luck! Let us know how it goes! Is it expensive?

Swood75 replied: It is HCG drops..Here,try this link..It explains how it works etc..I ordered my drops on e-bay lastnight and they have already been shipped..You lose 1-2 lbs a day in the 1st week and can lose up to 30 in a month..Here is one of the links..If any of you want the 1 I got mine from to order them just shoot me a pm and I will give it to you..(BTW I only paid 19.99 free shipping too)

Swood75 replied:
Yeah,the 500 calorie a day diet will be hard to get used to,but I can do it..I want this weight GONE,GONE,GONE!!!

mckayleesmom replied: Not to be Debbie Downer....but that is not many calories and I would be afriad I would gain it all back the moment I ate something bad....That would just be my luck. Good luck though.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I hate to be a Debbie Downer as well, but if you haven't already, I would strongly recommend talking to a doctor before you start this....eating such a small number of calories is dangerous for the average person if you're not being closely monitored by a professional.

coasterqueen replied: Only 500 calories? I'm trying to remain under 1600 and having a terrible time at it - so disgusted with myself. I'm determined to lose weight, too, but there would be no freakin' way. I'd pass out.

I really hope it works for you. Honestly. But please, please take care of yourself and the 1st sign something doesn't feel right, QUIT, ok?

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
I did the fiber diet for a couple weeks once and was only eating 1000 -1200 calories a day and I felt like crap. The worst part of it was, before I started limiting my calories I was doing good exercising every day and getting into shape and losing weight, and the diet ruined it. You need calories to have energy for exercising! I don't think I could do 500, even with the hormone making me feel full.

MommyToAshley replied: First of all, I applaud you for wanting to get into shape. I need to get motivated and do the same. But, I have to agree with the others. Please don't feel like we are ganging up on you, we just care about you. I would most definitely talk to your doctor before starting this diet.

Unfortunately, the best way to loose weight, and stay healthy, is the slow painful way of changing your eating habits and excercising.

Calimama replied:
I agree. Short term, major "diets" like that can REALLY damage your body and organs. None of what you are describing sounds the least bit healthy. In addition to that, losing 85 lbs by summer isn't healthy by any means IMO. There is no quick fix. My mom lost a TON of weight (and has been able to keep it off for a year so far) by walking an hour every day and eating better.

mummy2girls replied: With these kinds of diets once you quit and eat normally you gain the weight back plus more. I will always stand by ww's. You eat whatever you want but within points. and i have lost 40 lbs in 5 months:) and the thing is it teaches you how to eat healthy...

mckayleesmom replied: I did a little more research and this diet has alot of bad side affects. Please be carefull.

msoulz replied: I don't know what these drops are, but at 500 calories you are bound to lose weight without any drops. But ITA with those who express concern for your health. Whatever you choose I hope it works well for you and you remain healthy!
