Off to a good start!

So loading was fun, as always! Had a BBQ, Banquet, homemade enchiladas, with lots of ships and salsa, cheesecake(picture Homer Simpson here lol). And after eating all that, it definitely makes the first couple days on VLCD hard, but I lost 4.6lbs the first day! Thankfully, I only gained 4lbs this time around on my load, compared to 7 last time. I've already lost my load weight, so everything from here on out is the remainder of Hawaii, and the rest - a newer low than I have ever been! Do keep in mind though that HCG targets the abnormal yellow fat - and not the good brown fat that you have in your hands, feet, face, butt, and other needed places. This being said, you can only get so low. Even though my goal is 150, I may get to a point where my body won't want to let any more go - signs of this are increased hunger, headaches, weakness, fatigue... you'll know. Unfortunately, genetics play a factor into where our fat, good and bad, is distributed. If you have a bubble butt (like me) you will probably always have a bubble butt, just in smaller form, and less bubbly :) That's why HCG isn't necessarily good for those that are looking to just lose those last 5-10 lbs. Not saying that it won't work, it will probably just be more difficult than for others.
On another note, Dr. Oz had a little 2 minute bleep about HCG on his show the other day, but the panel basically claimed that 'anything that puts you that low on calories isn't good for you.' I was not impressed with his reply. It just seemed uneducated. But that's why it is so important to educate your self, and read anything you can find. And please keep me informed - if you come across anything in your research that you have questions on - don't hesitate to share! Even the negative! All I know is there is no way someone could eat the 500 calories with out the HCG and survive - it would be miserable!!! Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments at any time!

Happy Losing!
