[One Of Five]

I'm one of five sisters... the youngest one.

All of us suffer from obesity. One had the stumach surgery for her treatment.
One passed away, recently, from complications of Morbid Obsity. She was only 48.

I don't want to do the stumach surgery..
so I've chosen HCG. I'm not thinking of it a a diet. When I think of the word Diet, for me anyway, I think it's a vanity thing, or it's something done for me alone. Things like that don't motivate me because I begin to think it's not worth it.

So instead of a diet.. I'm on a "treatment". A treatment to keep me alive. To keep me from facing the same painful fate my sweet sister faced. A treatment to stay alive for my children (all six of them!) and for my husband (thank god, only ONE of those..lol..love him!), and for my other sisters and my two brothers.

So this treatment is not just for me... it's for my entire family. A pretty big group of people that I would devistatingly miss if I don't take care of this issue...
I know it'll be a lifetime battle. I'm prepared.. because this tool here, this msg board and the surport I can find through other things, will help me.


I don't have a weight goal. I have a 'health' goal.

I want to do these things..

1. Ride a Bike, again.
2. FIT on a roller coaster
3. Sit on the floor, cross legged, comfortably!

Wierd goals? Not to me.. they are more important then anything! I know the day I can do these things is the day I know I can do most anything!

So thankyou for being here!

I'm afraid that 3FC does not support HCG diets.

They are extremely unhealthy and only "work" because the person is eating only 500 calories a day.

Please. I urge you to consider a healthier way to lose weight.

I did HCG because I was looking for a high-impact kickstart to my weight loss. My doctor recommended it (because I needed to quickly lose weight to relieve pressure on my arthritic knees). It wasn't the end of the world. I did it for three weeks. Then worked out for 4 to keep it off. Did the master cleanse to prepare my body for embracing a healthier eating style. I admit that HCG is most likely not healthy in the long term, but unless you are accustomed to working hard and are committed to changing your eating habits you will assuredly gain it all back within a month.

I now eat according to LA Weight Loss Guidelines and work out daily. I suppose I could've gone slow and steady, but I'm thankful for that 25-lb boost in the beginning. Good health to you!
