HCG - key to my weight loss journey

Okay, so I knew I needed to lose weight, but that wasn't news. What was key was that I only needed to get my waist size down to 1/2 my height. That seemed doable. For the first month February 2010, I went on a low sugar diet and lost 5 pounds. From March 13th through June 11th (with a 13 day break for a vacation. I lost another 20 pounds on HCG. I started with with homeopathic HCG for the first few weeks. I purchasedd mine from http://hcgboutique.com/ There are a lot of places to but this stuff, but this seemed like a good place to start and it turned out well for me.

While continuing to do research, I began to worry about stabilizing on a homeopathic version. So, I ordered Rx HCG from http://www.alldaychemist.com/

Let me just say that this diet is hard, it a very low calorie diet with many restrictions. I have tried all variations of cheating and they really don't work. What I really accomplished is gaining and losing the same pounds for several weeks, when I finally decided that short bursts were probably more effective for me.

Here are some of my numbers
Began at 159
Week 1 154.8
Week 2 150.2
Week 3 148.2 (began Rx HCG)
Week 4 147 (stopped HCG)
Week 5 Vacation
Return from vacation 154.4
Week 6 145.6 (changed ratio of drops)
Week 7 141.6
Week 8 141.0
Week 9 139.8
Week 10 139.6 (stopped HCG)
Week 11 141.2
Week 12 141
Ended phase 3 at 142.8 6/11/2010

During the weeks of 9 and 10, I was actually down the full 20 pounds, but had a really hard time. Too many restaurant meals . . . if you analyze my chart, I really should have stopped at Week 8. I just regained and lost the same pounds for the next month, because I was tired of dieting.
