I have just started my 5th week of my first round 1. I have only lost 14 lbs. During the last two weeks I struggled to lose 1 lb. and finally had to do an apple day to lose it. Now, I cannot lose below that weight again. Basically, I have been losing and gaining the same two pounds for the last 3 weeks. I have NEVER cheated, I am weighing my protein religiously, not mixing veggies or eating any that aren't allowed, drinking my water (actually green tea, mostly, all day long). I am taking the hCG sublingually, .5 ml morning and night. I am ALWAYS hungry. I'm getting pretty bummed. Even without the hCG, I don't see how one could NOT lose weight on such a small amount of calories. And yet, it's not happening. The only good part is that other than the constant hunger, I feel OK. I have enough hCG for 3 rounds, so I really want to make this work, but my 6-wk loss isn't going to be anywhere near what everyone else has been reporting. Does anyone have any suggestions other than "hang in there", which is what I am tenuously doing?
Hi !! 4 weeks, or 28 days...14 lbs...that's 0.5 per day avg which is normal range for a woman, especially if you don't have alot to lose. How far from goal are you?
The biggest problem is not the stall but the hunger. That means something is either wrong with your dose or wrong with you hcg. When you say sublingual, is that RX grade you mixed? I would try upping the dose to .6. If that doesn't work, I'd remix. Something is wrong for you to be hungry and it definitely would affect your losses.
@chickenmom -- sounds like your dosing may be wrong. I'm doing sublingual (purchased from diyhcg.com, their blend, not the Mediral) and the dosing is .5ml three times a day. I'd try adding that third dose of .5ml, give it a couple of days and see if the hunger subsides.
I had some hunger issues on days 3 and 4 (1 and 2 being loading days), but no problems after that.
Also, how long are you holding the drops under your tongue? I go for at least 5 minutes. I also add the .5ml of drops in 3 steps -- I just can't hold the full .5ml at once under my tongue for that amount of time. I also don't eat/drink anything for at 15 minutes (they say 30 min is better) before AND after taking the drops.
Colleen, she mentions hunger, but says she feels OK....so to me that can't be real hunger, not the bad kind where you want to chew your arm off or put salt and pepper on any small child wandering by....ya know what I mean?
I am wondering about her dosing though....and where she is on the weight loss journey. If she is close to goal, 14 lbs in 28 days is really not bad at all, even though it is frustrating.....been there myself :)))
Thank you all so much for your comments. I hadn't planned on so much help so soon! I am at work right now, so can't answer all your questions, but will quickly answer a few. My stats are at home - can't give them to you now, but maybe this evening. I got my hCG from Pharmacy Escrow and mixed it according to the instructions on mamaclok's You Tube videos. She used 14 ml. liquid B-12 and 1 ml Silver Colloidal (sp). I don'l like the taste of the B-12, so the last two batches, I mixed 1 ml B-12 and 13 ml Silver Colloidal. I have 60 lbs. to lose, so am nowhere near my goal. When I said I feel OK, I meant that I am not weak or lethargic. I am, however, HUNGRY. Yes, the kind of hunger where I want to chew my arm off and eat it. Constantly. And it is really getting old. I wasn't very hungry the first couple of weeks, so I wonder if changing the way I mixed it might have had anything to do with it or not. I have about 9 vials of hCG left; I bought it all up front, enough for 3 rounds,which I had hoped would be enough. Pharmacy Escrow is supposed to be reputable, is it not? I hold the hCG under my tongue for 15 minutes, again, per mamaclok. I do drink unsweetened coffie up until I take it in the morning, but nothing at night. I take the dosages as close to 12 hrs apart as possible. Can't think of what else to tell you right now, but please keep brainstorming and give me any suggestions you come up with! I'm open to almost anything.
There is something wrong with either the hcg or your dose. Try upping it to .6. If that doesn't work, remix. The best mix is bacteriostatic water though you can use all colloidal silver too.
