HCG diet buddy.....

any fellow HCG'ers out there??? i need a buddy....my friends are all finished with their rounds and are on maintenance....i need someone to whine with and motivate each other....i'm on day 11 of a 40 day round....and i'm down 13 pounds.....won't someone be my buddy???

Your best bet is probably to click on "Community" and then "Groups" then search for HCG groups. It looks like there are three currently and that'll put you in touch with like-minded people.

The general forum section of FS is critical of HCG because of how dangerous it is. So you're far less likely to find someone to support you in any way other than recommending you follow a plan other than the one that might kill you.

Very useful recommendation healsdata. Especially the last sentence.

I buddied you. Thanks for accepting! Ignore the 'haters' here.

Hates a very strong word.... the only thing we really hate is diet scams that will risk your health In a sense I guess that makes us "lovers" because WE CARE!

Each time the HCG threads die down someone always posts to revive them. Funny how they have always joined on May 10, but most of them only have one or two posts!

i havent seen any long term HCG users on here and the best buddies are ones that are going to be around for awhile or who have been around and can share some experiences with you. my advice, look for buddies that have sound knowledge and are in this for the long haul, otherwise you may be looking for new buddies frequently. and yes if we were haters we would not care about the health of others.

I'll be your buddy : ) wow there sure are HCG haters on here ! Im on round one day26 and lost 18.4lbs.

No one is hating, we are concerned for your health. People on here are very supportive of healthy, well-paced, long-term weight loss.

Hello...I am a past HCG dieter. I struggled w/my weight for so long, exercised diligently, attending weight watchers, etc. I could not loose the weight. Luckily for me, a well respected OBGYN doctor starting a weightloss clinic for folks like me. Initially you had to do intesive testing (blood, saliva, urine) to see how healthy you were and where you were perhaps lacking, such as low thyroid, adrenal, etc. Then you were okayed to start the HCG. Every week you had to be weighed and your vitals were taken, I was observed throughout the weightloss process. We also ate a very healthy, low-calorie, low-carb diet, using organic foods. If you are doing HCG on your own, I would use extreme caution! I think it's best to be under the care of a doctor. Having said that, this has been a true Miracle for me. I lost 40lbs in just 2 months. I have kept it all off, it's been almost a whole year since I lost it. Good luck.

alicola - I'm so confused by your details. You originally signed onto FS back in Janurary 2008, have been on eight diets and seemed to lose most of the weight on Weight Watchers between May 2009 and Feb 2010 - but is this when you were also on hCG?

Your bio page lists that you're looking to lose 20-30 lbs now, but your current listed weight seems so like your goal weight!

So - if you've kept it off for a year, why are you trying to lose another 30 lbs now?

Am I missing something? Have my brains become scrambled?

Have I woken up...

A ZOMBIE!!

I was wondering the same thing but was going to keep my mouth shut.... LOL...but I am curious too!

Zombies ask the hard questions.
