Today's the DAY!

[Rena Cotti]

I take my first hCG shot today to start of my 40days to lose 40lbs with Medical Weight Management!!  I'll also get enzymes today to make sure I get the nutrition I need

I *just* want to loose 32lbs...for the first 2 days, today and tomorrow...I'm supposed to binge eat, then for the next 38 days its 500 calories a day...the shots & enzymes will keep my body from going into starvation mode and are supposed to keep me from being hungry!

Send me lots of good vibes, thoughts and prayers!!

Wow! 500 calories a day...that's not much. I hope and pray that it all goes well for you and that you maintain your health during the process.

WOW, that sounds interesting.  Hope you do great with it Rena, and stay well too.  500 calories is not much at all.  GOOD LUCK!!

This does sound WAY interesting.  I wish you the best...my fingers are crossed for you.  I love food too much, not sure if I could survive on 500 calories a day.  BUUUT, to lose 40 lbs.  I bet I could do it!  GOOD LUCK

It has been awhile since this was posted. I wanted to check in and see how things are going.

Okay, here's the update...

The first 4 days of injections you're supposed to binge eat to prep your body for the low cal days to come...during my binge days I gained 1lb.

I've been on 500cal menu days since Monday and have lost 7lbs!!! 

So a total loss of 6lbs from where I was before the first injection last Thursday...

I only feel hungry if I don't eat on time...

Monday I could have had another fruit and didn't want it.  Tuesday I could have had another vegie and didn't want it.

I am putting one of those new One A Day 02's powdered vitamin drink mix in my first glass of water each day...I have to drink 64oz of water a day...so I'm freakin' peeing all the time!

[Alecia]

WOW, you go girl, that is awesome progress!!  And FUNNY on the peeing all the time.  I try to drink that much water too, so I feel your pain.

Okay, was in San Antonio this past weekend and let myself off the menu for dinners...I gained back 2lbs, but have lost .8 of it again...

So not too bad   I just gotta stay on it during the next 2 weekend's retreats!
