117) Vegan lost 18″ (20 lbs) in 6 Weeks
116) 26 lb Weight Loss in 3 Weeks so far of her 2nd hCG Diet Round
Hey Rayzel- Hope you are well! I’m the same height as you and started loading on 7/21 at 159 lbs. I was REALLY upset yesterday, as I had a 1.6 lb. gain. I told my coach and she told me to follow P2 to the letter. I thought I’d been drinking enough water but made CERTAIN I drank all water and then some! So, yesterday I ate my protein, veggies and fruit. Like you, I don’t do the carbs because when it comes to crunchy snacks I’m like you with sugar and sweets! Here are my stats to date: Starting weight- 159 (does not count 2 lbs. gained after fat loading), weight today- 151.8, total loss (8/4)- 7.2 lbs!!! My husband, Jerry, and I are going to Foxwoods in CT on 9/6 to see Alison Krauss and play a little Blackjack (can’t wait)! I’m HOPING to be close to goal by then. I know- 1 DAY AT A TIME but there are so many great restaurants at the casino and I don’t want to eat like a bird. Just need to be VERY, VERY CAREFUL! So, all that being said, this diet WORKS!!! I’m seldom hungry and should STOP WATCHING THE FOOD NETWORK!! Lastly, I need to THANK YOU SO MUCH! You’ve helped me through some difficult afternoons. You are sweet, kind, honest and the information in your videos/articles is SO helpful!!! God Bless you and your wonderful family!

115) 26 lb Weight Loss in 3 Weeks so far of her 2nd hCG Diet Round
I’m currently on my second round of HCG. I had a baby and unfortunately gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy so I decided that it worked so great the first time, I was gonna try it again. I wanted to show you my first-time results and update you this second round. So far 3 weeks in and down 26lbs. The picture is my first time 42lbs in 30 days.

114) 40 lbs Gone in 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
New slushy idea. Only 35 calories (contained in the supplement) super yummy. On my next round of HCG and it’s been a challenge to stay on track this time – my past two rounds no issues I lost 40 lbs – however I had ACL replacement surgery at the end of August and I gained 10 pounds. It’s amazing what 10 pounds gained on the short frame feels like. Here’s to hoping I can lose at least 20 in this round. Goal is to be the healthiest version of myself. This hCG diet really works I’m so thankful that I found it.

113) Successful hCG Diet Rounds despite Major Health Issues
You’ve been my inspiration for the last 3 years. Where you are and where you are mentally, emotionally and physically is remarkable. Thank you for always encouraging us to find new ways to improve our health/lifestyle. It’s been life-changing.
My name is Shahidah and I decided to start my HCG JOURNEY in 3/7/2016 after my youngest child turned 1year old. Suffering from high blood pressure, IBS, GI disorders, back pain, and obesity weighing 251 pounds 5’9 size 20/22. I was at my wit’s end. Using hCG drops with a company called Officialhcgdietplan.com I purchased a 45-day bottle round. Following OP Dr. Simeons I was able to do 35days because I got sick eating some bad fish. No cheats, No Apple days, I lost 27lbs and 18.5 inches size 16. Began P3 for 6weeks lost 10-12lbs started my 2nd round for 21days lost 18lbs and 6inches 13/14. Stayed off of HCG for 7 months and maintaining weight with the exception of holidays gain 6lbs… Started my 3rd round 1/29/2017 21days lost 27lbs and 22inches size 12.
I got to my goal and exceeded my expectations but feared P3. As soon as I got into P3 I started gaining no fault of my own but realized after every round I do, I lost something that I loved to eat because it causes weight gain. This was the round I lost eggs… so I stayed over 3-5lbs up and down lived in P3 for 9 months, gained 15lbs total in total bit by bit. Just recently did a short round 21days to clean up some of my old habits. I lost 24lbs and 11inches size 12. Living in P3 now not doing well… scale is going up having stomach issues. Overall, I’m forever changed because of HCG. This Protocol saved my life. It changed my mind about what food actually is…and I’m thankful. Rayzel you played a profound part in my success. Thank you for this opportunity to share my journey.

112) 27 lbs Gone in 46 days of SP (Strict/Specific Protocol) hCG Diet in Menopause
Hi,
I did a 46 day round and stuck to it faithfully SP (although I did eat Miracle Noodles every day). Meal prepping and having things ready is the absolute key. I would cook proteins and freeze them and always had at least a couple of days of food prepped. Soups are fantastic for filling up. If I ate beforehand, I could sit through anything.
My tiny cheat, if it can be called that, was that if I was at a restaurant with people, I would order a side salad with no dressing. Technically, it’s mixing vegetables, but it kept me pretty on plan.
I found I lost most consistently with fish and chicken as my proteins. I had several stalls of 4 days or so, but I just kept to the course and then would drop down again. I didn’t do any steak or apple days.
Mindset- I can do anything for 46 days.
Exercise- light walking
Meal prep, meal prep, meal prep. Do it.
Stats: 51, Menopause, 27 pounds

111) From 225lbs to 165lbs, Size 18/20 to 8/10 with hCG Injections in Menopause
Hi Rayzel,
Hope I’m not too late to tell you the basics of my story. Firstly, how can I ever thank you for everything you have done to help me and others to finally lose the weight that we’d lost and regained time and time again. I have relied on your guidance over the past three years and have lost a significant amount of weight.
I am a sixty-six year old woman, post-menopausal (16 years) and when I started my HCG journey I weighed 225 lbs at 5’7″. After my 5th round of HCG, I reached my lowest weight of 148 lbs. But it has been difficult to maintain my weight at that level and have had a 20lb. rise and fall since then, throughout another 5 rounds of HCG.
Your P2 and P3 recipes and meal plans have been a tremendous benefit to me. I LOVE them and the ones that are not exactly to my preference, I have adapted. I became a subscriber early on, and feel so blessed to have found you.
I’m currently at 165 lbs. and wear a size 8 – 10. When I began in 2015 at 225 lbs., I was a size 18 -20. So, I really shouldn’t complain. But I still think that my ideal weight is around 140. Not sure my body agrees with me though!
I’ve tried ketogenic diets, Atkins, and various other maintenance diets since losing this weight and none of them have worked to keep my weight from coming back. Now, I’m looking at Dr. Gundry’s Plant Paradox and Dr. Mercola’s Fat for Fuel for guidance. I think the lectin discussion has merit.
If you would like to interview me, let me know. I’m guessing that there are others who are having similar issues re: regaining 20 lbs and then doing another round of HCG over and over for numerous rounds.
Blessings and gratitude,
-Shane
110) Maintaining a 25lb Weight Loss for 9 months
Hi,
I did my first round (40 days) in May of 2017 and lost 25 lbs! I immediately went on the First Line Therapy and have been able to maintain my weight loss to today (February 2018 – that’s 9 months!). I recently decided to do another round (just 26 days this time) to see if I can push my weight loss goal even further. So far, I have lost another 8 lbs and on day 17. It is slower, probably because not as much to lose but still very effective. I go to my doctor every two weeks to do a body check or BMI to make sure I am losing fat instead of muscle and it just amazes me every time. You definitely have to find what works for you in maintenance. HCG works for weight loss, that’s the easy part. Finding what works for my body after HCG has been a challenge but I feel like I am getting there. Oh, I am 5’8.5″ tall and started at a size 8 and now a size 4!
Thanks for your site, has been a HUGE help for me!

109) 70lb hCG Diet Weight Loss in Menopause
I’m a woman who was blessed to never have had a weight problem my whole life until I hit 50 and passed thru menopause. Previous to that I had quit smoking, took a desk job, then took care of my father for 3 years until he passed away from cancer. All those sedentary factors found me at 205 lbs in 2013, the weight causing me painful hip and back problems, depression, and overall fatigue. For a year I tried multiple diets & programs with little to no success past a mere 10-15 lbs. I was at the point of considering a Lapband, but could not stomach the thought of having a permanent device implanted in my abdomen! A friend told me of her success with HCG, so I thought why not, if it doesn’t work, my next step will be surgery.
I started HCG on Memorial Day weekend 2014, 6 weeks on, 4 weeks off, stuck to it like glue, logged everything I ate, and by Thanksgiving 2014 I was at my goal weight of 135 lbs and scuba diving in Belize! I eventually came off all pain meds, hip & spine shots, and arthritis meds, and even lost my handicap placard! I stayed at or around my goal weight until September 2017 when I suffered a devastating knee injury from a swing dancing competition, and was unable to do any kind of exercise until now. Inactivity combined with depression and falling back into old habits has packed on 35 lbs of my original 70 lost, so thru HCG Chica (Rejuvi), I ordered, applied for, and got a prescription for which I am currently awaiting my product to arrive, so I can knock this weight back off and resume my dancing, gym, bike riding, and restore my energy & comfort levels.
I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who is in my boat to give this program a try- it changed my life but it is a permanent lifestyle change if you want to keep it off for life. I have learned by eating clean just how destructive sugar, bad fats & carbs, and processed food poison my body, and how backsliding into old habits can put it right back on and all of the health problems with it. I’m so looking forward to getting back on program in the next week or so, purging my body of junk, and getting back to normal! I will forward before & after results when I get back to goal.
P.S. 70 lbs lost also took about a decade off my face – bonus!!!

108) Medical Doctor’s 23 lb Weight Loss in 1 Round of hCG
Hi Rayzel!
Here’s my story in a nutshell: I’m a medical doctor, 37 years old, on medication that can cause weight gain (birth control and antidepressants)…Starting weight 181 lbs., after first round of hcg in September and October 2017 down to 158 lbs!
Maintained for 3 and 1/2 months. Second round will be starting in 2 weeks! So excited 🙂
PS: Couldn’t have done it without your website and p3 program

107) Losing 15 lbs with hCG at 69 Years Old
Hi Rayzel!!! I lost about 15 pounds last year 2017. I started my first round in January 2017 and it was great. I kept it off for a while but gained some back because I didn’t do the P3 correctly. I really want to start over and keep it off this time.
Thanks for your positive attitude and for all you do to encourage.
I’m 70 years old and pretty healthy for my age. Hope that helps.
-BBR
106) 28lbs Lost and Counting!
Hi Rayzel. I have been through one 40 day cycle of the hcg diet. I lost 22lbs. The reason I did not lose more is because I cheated over Thanksgiving and stalled out for a week. I just started my 2nd 40 day cycle 5 days ago. I do not plan on cheating this time and hope to lose an additional 30lbs. After 5 injections, including the 2 load days, and 3 days of being on VLCD I have lost 6lbs already. This diet DOES work, if you follow it correctly. I hate to admit this but there is a negative and positive side to what I am about to say. With the first cycle I did not transition very well. I started eating bread, potatoes, some sweets, and an occasional soda. I ate many of the things that the diet specifically said not to during transition. I would not recommend doing this as I most likely would have lost more weight during transition if I would have transitioned correctly. Good news during the 6 weeks that I was waiting to start my second cycle, which included transition, I didn’t gain any weight back. That let me know that once I have completed my hcg journey I will be able to keep the weight off. One thing that I love about this diet is seeing results right away as it gives me the motivation that I need to continue. I also like that planning the meals is so easy. I highly recommend this diet to anyone. It is changing my life, and my body.

105) 104 lb Weight Loss – Need I Say More?
I’ve lost 104 pounds! I have tons of energy and I feel so good about myself. HCG has changed my life.
-Lauri
104) 13 lbs in 19 days
All I can say is WOW! I am on day 19 and have lost 13 pounds. Usually, if I try really hard I can lose 5-8 pounds in a month! While it is a fast way to lose, it takes major planning and dedication. Rayzel said to look at your calendar, find a space where you can avoid socializing. I can’t emphasize this enough! Maybe some people can go out and subject themselves to what’s out there, but not me – so I avoid any dinners or parties.
Additionally, I feel it is very difficult to explain this diet to others, and they tend to disagree with what I am doing – another thing I don’t need to hear!
I am just so thankful that I am on this streak, nothing can break me! I am planning to do 4 ½ weeks to hit my goal of 25 pounds for my greatest birthday gift to me at the end of the month! Last week I was in the same two-pound range for 6 days, but I did not give up – started drinking ACV cocktail and maybe that did the trick. I miss a few things, but I can live without it for this short period of time in the big scheme of things!!!
Stay strong, never give up! Make a vision board that reminds you of what you want to achieve, or hang a favorite outfit of yours that is in the closet that you cannot fit into right now – try it on each week, see the progress! Hang in there, you will be thrilled!

103) 7 lbs in 7 Days
Hi!
I started the HCG diet last Monday, January 29th and have lost 7 pounds (within 7 days). I’m very excited and looking forward to losing more weight.

102) Size 14 to a Size 6
Rayzel,
First, I would like to thank you for creating this website, as well as the workbooks and recipes. I have logged in so many times to find answers to questions, or to prepare myself for an upcoming step in this process. I sincerely doubt I could have done this without you.
I am currently ending my third round, and I figure this will be the last one.
A year ago, I began round 1 after trying for years to lose weight. I was tracking and measuring every single bite of food, being strict about my 1200 daily calories and I was exercising seven days a week (sometimes twice a day), yet my body continued to gain weight. My skin was patchy and blemished, I had very little energy, and I was depressed. It seemed no matter what I tried I would not lose pounds!
I began the HCG journey with about 2 weeks of preparation. My doctor’s office gave me a binder with a list of approved food, and basically said “have at it”. I am someone who likes to plan ahead, and the resources my doctor provided did not meet my expectations. Then I found your site. As I read, I learned why certain things were happening, I learned how hard this was for so many people (physically and mentally) and I learned how to handle my frustrations. On my first round, I planned on doing P2 for 3 weeks and ended up doing 5. I lost 25 lbs.
I was able to maintain this new weight for around 6 months. Then I thought “oh, I can totally do that again”. I forgot how difficult this is. I did not plan ahead. I did not accept what kind of challenge this would be. I did not take round 2 as seriously as I could have. After 10 days of P2, I had to ‘start over’ because I had cheated so many times. I had planned for this round to end after 3 weeks, and had lined up a vacation following the day I ended the diet. I did not do P3. I did lose another 10 lbs on the remainder of this round, however, I gained it all back in a matter of weeks.
I am now wrapping up the last week of Round 3, phase 2. I have lost another 10 lbs currently, and based on previous rounds expect another 3-5 more. I am prepared to enter P3 as I did the first time. Your recipe books are wonderful, and I am looking forward to digging into them. I know now that although P2 is exciting, P3 is really the most important piece of this experience and I am excited to set this new weight for myself.
Overall, I have gone from a size 14 to a 6. I have gone from 1200 calories a day to around 1800. I no longer track or weigh all my food. I have moved over to a paleo-style diet, but am able to indulge on off-plan foods occasionally. I exercise 3-5 days a week and have lots more energy. My skin has cleared and my eyes look brighter. The HCG diet takes so much willpower and inner strength, but it is doable with some planning and lots of resources, and it is so worth it!!
-Melissa
101) 31lb Weight Loss in 5 Weeks
I just completed Week 5 of my first round of HCG and am down 30.9 lbs! Still have a long way to go, but feeling positive and have more energy!

100) 27lbs Gone in 42 days in Menopause
Hi there,
My name is Nancy and I’m 57. I have been a size 6 or 8 my entire adult life. When I went through menopause in my early 50’s I gradually gained about 25 pounds and went to a solid size 10, but I didn’t feel great. My body felt wrong and uncomfortable and like it wasn’t the size it was meant to be. It didn’t matter how much I exercised or how careful I was with what I ate, I only seemed to keep gaining. I tried weight watchers, I cut out grains and dairy, nothing seemed to matter. I was very discouraged and feeling pretty bad about myself. Also, I was tired of thinking about my weight all the time. Two friends at work who were about my age had successfully lost weight and so I sought each of them out, told them about my frustrations, and asked how they had done it. To my surprise they both said they had used HCG. One of them sent me to the hcgchica.com website where I found lots of encouragement and good recipes and tips. It’s been almost two years ago that I did HCG for 42 days and lost 27 pounds. The biggest triumph for me was realizing that I COULD lose weight after all and didn’t need to resign myself to feeling uncomfortable and not looking my best. It felt like freedom. Since then my weight has fluctuated a few pounds here and there. In just the past three months I have actually put on about 8 pounds due to a return to eating when I’m stressed (empty nesting is happening!) and am going back to P3 to see if I can get back down to my target. However, I know that I can do another round if I need or want to, that I have a choice. It’s been a wonderful thing for my body, mind, and spirit!
Cheers!

99) 19lbs Gone in 1 Month
Started HCG injections and 500 calorie diet on January 8, 2018 and as of today, February 6, 2018 I have lost 19 lbs. My original goal was 20 lbs so I can do it!!!

98) 87lbs Gone with hCG Injections plus 10 More with P3tolife while on Thyroid & Bio-identical Hormones
Hi Rayzel!
So my success story in a nutshell? I’m 57 years old about 5’8″ and I followed the vlcd with hcg injections for 23 weeks-no cheats-and lost 87 pounds! I was being monitored by my doctor so was able to go straight thru without breaks and am also on thyroid and some bio-identical hormones. This was May to Oct 2017. Next, I followed P3toLife life for 6 weeks and by thanksgiving I had lost another 10 pounds! (97 total). My starting weight was 236 and I went down to 139 and now easily maintain at about 146. Hcg truly helped to reset my metabolism. I eat a pretty normal diet and allow myself treats but love going back to P3toLife “gourmet”, delicious recipes when necessary and keep active horseback riding 3-4 times per week. I love how hcg “reshapes” your body -it’s different than losing weight on other “diets” and I feel terrific and feel in control of my weight because I can tell my metabolism is working again and I’m definitely healthier! PS…did I mention that I got off BP meds in less than 6 weeks after starting hcg? ????. This program is wonderful!!
-HAH
97) 17lb Weight Loss in 3 Weeks with hCG Injections
Hi…
I am on a third round, and have been on HCG shots for 3 weeks and dropped 17.7 pounds!
I have been eating mainly ‘rotisserie chicken’ legs, wings, all of it…and it works great! Just make ‘sure’ they are not injecting it with anything. I go to a local store called Sendik’s, and theirs is the only rotisserie chicken I can eat, the rest of the stores in the area all inject…including the restaurant Boston Market. Some say they ‘don’t’ inject, but you know they put ‘something on it’ because you can tell in the results the next morning when weighing in. So be sure there’s nothing injected…and enjoy! (They have home rotisseries too if you prefer to cook that way!)
HCG Really Works…but don’t fall for the ‘fake’ hcg…be sure to get your supply from a reputable supplier, as is on the hCGChica site!
-CL
96) Maintaining 30lbs hCG Diet Weight Loss for 8 Months
Lost 26lbs from last injection day and another four since then. Kept it off 8 months so far. Never have varied more than 1.5lbs. After my P3 ended, I decided to add no gluten back into my diet and haven’t needed allergy pills for allergies, or Advil for my arthritis! Added very limited rice and potato.
Hcg was one of the best things I could have done for my body.
-MM
95) 50+ Lbs Weight Loss with Modified hCG Diet Protocol
Hi Rayzel,
I lost 20 pounds in 35 days on my first round. I lost 34 pounds in a 50 day cycle with a short break in between on my second round. I finally stepped out of the plus size stores.
Increasing the hcg dosage seemed more effective for me, once I found a naturopath that prescribed the dose based on weight. Also, Dr. Emma’s version of hcg gave me more food options, and I lost just as much weight.
I am trying to get back on the diet today, having just fat loaded. I am having a hard time getting motivated again. Your email comes at good timing, I hope I can look to your site for inspiration. Getting started is the hardest part, but once you get going you feel so incredible with the results you persevere.
Thanks for your website and blogs.
-Krista
94) 18lbs Gone in 30 days
I just finished Phase 2 and I am now into phase 3. It is my first time trying this diet and honestly the only one I found that worked for me.
You were my savior to helping me get through the worlds most boring diet! Your hints, blogs, videos kept me moving through, not giving up and also helped me work my recipes so not to mess up the diet but also not to get so bored in my cooking.
Being a retired Chef and major foodie I needed to be creative with our food. I can say I lost 18 pounds in 30 days and I am well into my week two of Phase 3 and have been consistent in not gaining more than a pound.
Thank you for helping!

93) 36lbs Gone with the hCG Diet

92) Maintaining 50lb Weight Loss at 71 years old
I’ve tried everything on the planet and it was sooo depressing. I would typically lose only 2 pounds per month, and that’s depressing. I decided to try HCG and it changed my life. I lost 50 total over 3 rounds….about 15 lbs each rounds (4-6 weeks). And the fat came off in all the right places, WOW!!!! I went from a size 16 to a size 10 (I’m 4’11). I’m 71 years old and I’ve kept the weight off for almost 1 year now. I love the way I look and I feel fantastic. It’s been a lifestyle change for me – my husband also eats the food I now cook and LOVE. Thank you Razel for your HCG P3 Meal Plans – they have been amazing and I added some Paleo to my meals as well. I encourage people to give this a try – if you’re like me, you’ve already tried everything else on the planet – all I can say is that HCG was my lifesaver and I love my new lifestyle.

91) 65lb Weight Loss with 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
In 2014 I did 2 rounds and lost 65 pounds total! I’m gone up and down and am on it again, trying to get to a “healthy” weight that my body likes! It’s still the best diet out there. You can do ANYTHING for 6 weeks!
-MCarson
90) 24lbs Gone in 42 Days with hCG Injections
Hi Rayzel,
I am appreciative of your work on blog, sharing information and resources for the HCG diet. You are my “go to” resource for HCG diet.
I used hCG injection ( referred by you) and did the 42-day program and lost 24 lbs. I did, because of your information, adjust the dosage to a lower dose because I’m 61 and found that lowering the dose allows the diet to work as described and not be hungry. I did this last round last quarter 2017. I went from a size 1X/2X to a medium/large in clothes, but most noticeable is now in size Medium pants. I lost small amounts in other body areas. It is very hard for me to lose weight unless I use the HCG diet.
I plan to begin another round within 6 weeks. I need to lose more.
Also, they were great to work with – impressed with the service and quality. Thanks for the work you’ve done on sharing these excellent resources.
If I plan well, the HCG diet is relatively easy for me. I usually have energy and feel great on it. I plan a time when I have the least social plans. I never even try to eat out during the diet. I’ve done the HCG diet several rounds over the past 7 years.. I’ve gone from 240lbs to 175lbs. Now, after research, experiences and lessons learned, prior to beginning the HCG phases, I begin with the 21 day Dr. Kellyann’s bone broth diet. During that 21 day timeframe, I try to fast for 2 non-consecutive days a week with reducing the amount of food and eliminating soy, dairy, grains, carbs, sugar, etc. (for me — the Dr. Kellyann 21 day plan is a good beginning and good prep to the HCG diet ) I do actually work a cup of bone broth into my HCG diet phases when I need something safe to sip on ( cannot overdo this). I begin the HCG diet with this 21-day plan because of your advice to be low carb weeks before beginning the actual HCG phases. So my HCG phases are combined with pre Dr. Kellyann 21 day plan, then the HCG phases, then another round 21 day Dr. Kellyann plan and then day to day life with the 80/20 plan from the Dr. Kellyann plan and it is satisfying and comfortable. I eat much more clean and no preservatives now. The Dr. Kellyann plan and 80/20 make so much sense and works great as a prep and end to HCG diet.

88) “It works! It really works!”
Hi there!
I first found out about HCG years ago and did a lot of research before I started.
Your blog was very helpful and continues to be – from where to buy, to how to mix, to the wonderful (less than boring) recipes.
I’ve always had great success on the diet, so long as I load properly and follow the VLCD guidelines.
Here is something I wish I was warned about, like seriously warned about – DO NOT GO BACK TO EATING & DRINKING LIKE BEFORE. You WILL gain it all back!
Don’t look at it as a diet with a start and end date. You must consciously make a life change in your eating and drinking habits. I include the drinking because drinking wine was a big part of my life. Doctors tell you all the time how “healthy” a glass of red wine is with your meals and I enjoyed one, 2, okay, sometimes 3 glasses of wine. We deserve it after all we do day in and day out right? It takes the edge off.
I went back to drinking my glass of vino with meals and the weight crept back up. I was even doing low carb/keto/clean eating but the additional calories and sugar from the wine made me gain ALL the weight back. I was so disappointed.
I did the injections again and refrained from drinking during (of course) and after. I feel really good for sticking with it.
With some self-determination and discipline, anyone can follow this program. And it works! It really works!

87) 23.8 BMI despite Thyroid Problems
Hello, my Thyroid Doctor, he has a chapter in Stop the Thyroid Madness let me have this prescription for injectable HCG. Dr Yusuf Saleeby. That was a year ago.
Have done three rounds. I have to say with all the support you have given me, I still had flubs. But my BMI today is 23.8. I am just finishing my third round. But what is truly important is my thyroid supervision. We are still working on adjusting it even today.
I want to stress to your followers to get some thyroid help. Tomorrow we will increase my t3 with liothronine. And checking my morning temperature.
I have lost 8 lbs. of fat this last round. If you can believe my Fitbit scale which measures fat.
So I love HCG and Dr Saleeby says I am probably liking the testerone aspect of it. When I say I love it, I mean I don’t just do 40 days. I keep going till the HCG bottle is truly empty. Maybe 50+ days.
I was a regular wine drinker and have no problem giving it up. Startling to me. I though a bedtime and TV wine drinking would never be gone from my life, but just think 2017 was pretty much alcohol free.
At the end of my rounds I have been adding back in my peanuts with good results.
I was one of your first members to the Phase 3 site. I found it difficult to eat all of that. This time I am just going to make the creamy garlic mushroom chicken, the spaghetti squash and meatballs and the turkey chili. That will actually last me most of the week. I threw out food when your site came out and it was my second round. So will start slower. Have not thought about week two yet.
I did have problem at the end of November when my thyroid drug ran out and had not scheduled a blood draw, fell back on Synthroid which I had on my shelf and gained 8 lbs. So I had to start at 160 instead of my 152. But I am at a new low now and have a week or so to loose more. I am at 143.1 this AM.
So first round I did without you. So on maintenance. 1/2/2017 178.2 3/1/2017Low 156.9 6/2/2017 169 (loading weight) 8/4/2017 144.4 and Remember I was on the wrong thyroid drug. 12/23/2017 (loading weight) 160 2/5/2018 143.1.
So I am at the edge of Ph 2 and Ph 3 wish me luck.
Two favorite things, wearing clothes and crossing my legs!

86) Mother & Daughter on hCG Diet losing 130lbs altogether!
Hi Chica
My name is Darlene and four years ago my daughter and I discovered Dr. Simeons protocol. She lost about 70lbs and went from a 16 to a size 4. I lost about 60 lbs and so many inches it was amazing. Now here it is 4 years later and I’ve gained about 38lbs of it back. Due to stress and major surgery. My daughter has done the protocol a few times and has never gained All back. I started the protocol day one today after load in. I can say it is much harder starting it over again. But I am determined to step back out of this fat suit.

84) 20lb Weight Loss in 28 days with Alternative Protocol of the hCG Diet
Hi Rayzel!
I was so thankful I found your site! I did the HCG diet several years go through my Naturopathic Dr. It was strict protocol! I did lose the weight but it was very hard mentally. After watching your videos and reading your blog, I decided to give it a try again after putting all of my weight back on 5 or 6 years later. Retirement, traveling and eating out frequently didn’t agree with me so much. This time I resolved to try the alternate approach. It has been a life saver! I love the ability to mix some things. It has allowed for a more satisfying protocol. I am just a week away from the end of my first round and have dropped 20 lbs in 28 days. I will transition on to P3 for a break then jump right back on the next cycle. Thank you so much for all the helpful information you provide. The new recipes are also a great addition! I am eagerly awaiting the Amazon delivery of your workbook, which I just ordered yesterday. I decided it would be very helpful in P3. Thanks again!

83) 15lb (and counting) hCG Diet Weight Loss of a 61 year old
Hi Rayzel,
I wanted to give you an update on my HCG story.
I tried the drops about 4 years ago, and had great success in the 6 weeks that followed, however I did not do maintenance properly. I gained all the weight back, and was ready to throw in the towel.
My last doctors visit put me on edge, when she said I qualified for gastric bypass surgery. I was mortified, and almost went that route, but something told me to try HCG one more time. I decided to visit a Holistic doctor who thought I would be a good candidate for the injections. I decided to do 6 weeks.
I am 61 years of age, barely 5’2 and started at 173.6. (YIKES)- I took comfort reading your journey! I needed, and wanted to to take a different approach to this journey.
I needed the support of the HCG community through vlogs. I wanted to loose between 20-25 pounds if possible.
I was having large drops for the first 3 weeks, then it dropped to a snails pace. Rather than panic, I focused on the journey into P3. I knew I had to get ready to do this protocol with long term success in mind!
I just started week 6 down 15 pounds. I found I could not exercise without getting very weak and light-headed. I am beginning to notice the shots are not as effective at keeping hunger at bay. I had some left over drops that had not expired and may use those to get me through this last week.
I will use the miracle noodles for the days I come off the HCG to help feel fuller. My diet is basic, I stick to the same foods, and just rotate them. Chicken, lean beef, eggs, Non-fat cottage cheese, and shrimp.
I will be looking forward to having a pedicure with lotion, and having coffee with cream!
My husband has been wonderfully supportive, and agreed to not go out to eat while I was on P2- We usually went out on weekends for breakfast, so I will look forward to eggs and bacon, minus potatoes, and bread.
I don’t feel worried about P3 at all! I feel empowered!
We leave for vacation to Europe at the end of March, and I feel very confident I will make great choice, and eat to hunger. I plan on taking a long break and resume another (3) week round at the end of May.
I can’t thank you enough for all the information, recipes. Everyone’s journey is unique, but we all have common denominators for what takes us on this journey.

82) 46lbs Gone and 6 Sizes Down at 58 years old
58yo lost 46 lbs 11 months ago and I have not gained it back. I went from a size 14 to a size 8. I am 5 ft 11 inches. I am an active equestrian and it has really helped my riding! (Bought my first horse at age 55!). After I completed the diet, I elected to not add carbs back, and that is, I believe, the reason I have kept it off!

81) Amazing 84lb hCG Diet Transformation Story
Hey Rayzel!
Thank you so much for all you do and the resources you provide. I had gained over 100 lbs from my pregnancy and depression-related binge eating. I lost about 20 on my own before it became what felt to be an impossible task over 6 years. You gave me immense inspiration and belief in myself that I could lose the rest, as well access to high quality, reputable hCG resources. With that, I was able to lose ALL of it. I’m 5’10”, and my starting weight prior to hCG was 230lbs. Ending weight? 146lbs. Unfortunately, I don’t have a before pic, as I avidly avoid the camera when I don’t feel like myself. And that’s how I felt like I was trapped in someone else’s body. Movements felt foreign, and I didn’t recognize my own reflection. You helped me give myself my life back. Thank you!

80) From 165lbs to 135lbs with the hCG Diet at 59 years old
I too has tried many other diets and failed. This one really worked for me I was 165 Ibs when I started and my Dr told me that my blood results weren’t where he would like to see them. Inflammation, borderline Diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m 5’2 and will be 60 next month. I needed to do something. Today I’m 135lbs and am living a much healthier life ????

79) 180lbs to 120lbs – Story of Struggle & Success with the hCG Diet
Hi Rayzel,
I am in a difficult situation I have done the hCG nine times already waiting eight weeks in between the first time I did it I lost maybe 12 pounds and I did the long version I started at 180 pounds the second time, I did better I lost 20 pounds. To make a long story short I’m doing my ninth round right now I weigh 150! I had gone down to 120 pounds on one of the rounds but slowly I have gone up again! I have a very hard time with my husband being a very hearty eater so that’s where my downfall lies. I just can’t seem to stay on track with all that food around me anymore, can you offer me some suggestions any help?

78) Slaying the Sugar Dragon with the hCG Diet
I was able to slay my sugar Dragon with the help of HCG. No cravings, no cheating. Did a short round and kept off the weight on my own. I enjoyed cooking and eating good meals. Lost 15lbs. Still able to workout but only the first 2 weeks then it just got harder.

77) 35lb+ hCG Diet Weight Loss and her Trick to break a Stall
Hi Rayzel,
I have used HCG 4 times in the last 5 years. The last few have been hCG injections through your site but the first one was drops through BottledHCG. BottledHCG has since changed their formula, which was the BEST. Not only did I not feel hungry but I never thought of food. It was amazing!
I was calm and slept great I lost 35 lbs on a 46 day cycle. I wish I could get that formula again but I think laws changed and it’s not real HCG anymore. That said, injections are great. I feel really good on them each time I do them.
I lost 30 lbs in 45 days. Last fall. I’m starting my second round and it’s my first day on P2. I’m feeling great. No hunger. No cravings. Drinking lots of water.
I went from a size 14 to a 10, 5 years ago on drops. I dropped another 30 last fall but gained 10 back so this round should be another 30 on 46 day round and will be a size 8 which is great for me.
I’d like to tell you that when I stall; I soak in a very hot tub of water with epsom salt and sliced fresh ginger. (I put it in a betting bag so it doesn’t go down the drain) For at least 1/2 hour. The scale always moves 2-3 lbs!!! Seriously.
I could never have done this without you by my side! I found you 4 years ago. I’m very grateful for you.

75) 142lbs to 119lbs and Regulated Hormones at the age of 67
Some people think it’s all about weight loss…well, that IS major, however, my doctor put me on HCG to get my hormones regulated in a natural way.
It’s been 13 months…I stayed faithful on the diet, stayed encouraged by THIS WEBSITE. Who Knew? I went from 5’4″, 142lbs, age 66 with ZERO hormones to 119lbs, age 67 and regulated hormones! So excited. My work now is to stay this way. I FEEL GREAT. Don’t hesitate….get the real thing and don’t settle for where you are; you can change at any age!!!

74) 30lbs Gone in 40 Days and Maintaining it for a Year!
I finished the 40 day HCG diet 1 year ago and lost 30 lbs and have kept it off. I was able to use spray coconut oil for cooking and add in veggies like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, and fruit like watermelon, blueberries, blackberries, and even pickles. I lost 10 pounds the first week and 1 pound everyday after that if I didn’t cheat. I never gained weight but didn’t lose if I had to eat something not approved. This only happened 2 times because of out of town stress and choices. I have switched to the Tall Skinny Mocha with Heavy Cream at Starbucks almost everyday. No weight has been gained. I keep my breads to a minimum but I do have it. Sugar cravings are less and I use dark chocolate or sugar free items. I also recommend eating to fullness instead of counting the ounces the first week to make this diet more doable. You will find you aren’t as hungry if you’re eating the right foods.

73) “I saw results almost everyday…”
HCG changed my life! Any other diet that I’ve tried I have always failed bc I had no willpower. But with HCG I saw results almost every day whether on the scale or in inches… this truly kept me strong and gave me the will to make it to another day of success.

HCG changed my life. After 2 rounds and 18 weeks, I lost 90 pounds. I have been on Lifestyle P3 eight weeks and have lost another 20 pounds..down 110 now! I am now within 20 pounds of my goal weight…my high school weight! I have never felt better after 30 years of yo-yo dieting.

69) 30lbs Gone in 45 Days despite Menopause & Hysterectomy
Darling Rayzel-
Oh my goodness, where do I begin?? Ok so, I used injections, did a 45 day round and lost about 30 lbs. I started in October of 2017 and now am in P4 and beyond and maintaining perfectly through the help of hCG Chica and many other support groups, recipes and testimonies. I never needed a correction day on P3 and I am eating almost whatever I want and still keeping off the weight. I also experienced a relief in menopausal symptoms and would love to use hCG for that reason alone.
My results were so good that I lost a lot of the weight I gained after a hysterectomy a few years ago and I feel great!
I can’t believe the transformation in my body, clothes, hair and skin!
My significant other also went along for the ride with me and he lost about 45 lbs, yep, men lose more than women, but hey, it is what it is!
Thank you Rayzel for everything you do and all the support you give. Oh btw, I an a newbie, this was my first time using Hcg and so happy I did!

68) 22lbs Gone in 40 Days
Hi Rayzel,
Great work you are doing here. I was on the hCG diet for about 40 days in May June 2017. I moved from 219.1 lbs to 197.3 lbs. I moved from size 20 jeans and could fit into my old size 14/16 jeans. I did this via a weight loss clinic and cost about $700.
I ran into your blog late 2017 and decided to use your recommended hCG source for my supplies and it came at less than half the price I spent earlier.
I wanted to indulge during the Christmas holiday and indulge I did! I am 8 days into this new supply and have moved from 203.8 on day 1 to 191.2 lbs on day 8.
What more can I see hCG is it….

66) Over 35lbs Gone and High Blood Pressure No More with the hCG Diet
Hey Rayzel,
I did my first Round 50 days- lost 25lbs. down to a size 10 from 14
I am currently on my 2nd round- a little more cheating going on this round- so far lost 10-11lbs went from 155- currently 125 this morning- can wear a juniors size 8- 9 means- small- med in pants I can fit into women’s size 6 pants- I have a size 4 that I can almost button……and shirts where I was wearing large and xlarge… now we are small/med...I can actually reach the middle of my back to scratch it- which I couldn’t do before.
I can cross my legs all the way- when I sleep, my legs are comfortable and not heavy when I lay on my side.
My squats and push-ups feel so much easier without all the weight. I’m so happy. I’m not done yet. I went from 29% bf to 24%– I am working on getting down to 19% body fat. I had a high blood pressure- right now my machine gets errors because it’s so low. I am almost never tired, even when I don’t get enough sleep.

65) 36lb Weight Loss with 2 Rounds of hCG Drops
First of all, I want to thank you for your site. It has been a huge help during this journey and I really appreciate it.
So far, I have completed 2 rounds on the HCG diet (drops). I lost 23 pounds in my first round (40 days) and 13 pounds in my second round (30 days). I feel great (down 3 dress sizes) and am so thankful to have found this diet. I still want to lose about 20 more pounds, so will be doing another 1-2 rounds over the next few months. It really works!

64) 37lbs Gone in 42 Days using hCG Injections
Hi Rayzel,
Thank you for doing this!
I have been overweight/obese since I was 6 years old. I have been on diets my whole life. From weight watchers to Atkins to fit for life to best life now, they all worked for a little while then I couldn’t take it anymore and binge eat. I tried exercise and didn’t lose weight but did get firmer butt and thighs.
With the hcg my cravings and compulsion to eat everything and anything was gone. I’m hoping this feeling lasts through maintenance and the next 3 or 4 rounds I need to do. I still have about 110 lbs to lose before ideal weight.
I am doing hcg for the 3rd time. 1st two times were an epic fail; not because I didn’t lose weight fast but because I got pregnant during phase 1 both times and didn’t realize the importance switching immediately to maintenance. Needless to say, I gained all the weight back and a lot more very quickly.
I just finished my 3rd round of hcg and started phase 3 today! So excited to eat more food! I did 42 hcg injections and lost 37 lbs through a weight loss clinic. I am researching your website and will probably switch to buying the hcg on my own next round.
I don’t have any before pics because I won’t let anyone take my pic and I didn’t think about taking one to document my journey.
Thank you so much for creating and continuing your website! Grateful for all you do!

63) From 130lbs to 113lbs and 4 inches off her Waist!
I was always small framed and didn’t hit 130 lbs until my late 40’s. My weight fluctuated a lot after I retired in 2013, but always seemed to settle around 130-135 pounds. Although skeptical because I did not have as much to lose as most of the testimonials I was reading, I decided to give it a try. Started at 130, six weeks later 115. Two weeks into P3, 113. Lost 4 inches off my waist and 2 1/4 off each thigh. Was size 10, now my old 6’s are too big.
And I am able to wear my wedding rings for the first time in over five years.

61) 23.5lbs Gone in 34 Days
Hello Rayzel,
I am in R1P2D34. So far I have lost 23.5 pounds. The protocol has been smooth with consistent releases; .5-1.0 pounds daily. I haven’t had any gains and only two days without a change (and both times I experienced a large loss the following morning). Occasionally I feel tired, but mostly I feel motivated & satisfied. My skin has cleared up, and I am noticeably thinner. I’m very careful to plan my meals in advance. I’ve enjoyed simple strict protocol meals as well as AP hCGChica P2 recipes without a problem.
The hCGChica website is an enormous gift of very useful and user-friendly information. In the beginning, I would read posts, watch videos and review the helpful hints and testimonials daily. After a couple weeks the protocol became normal. The process became simple and since it’s actually working I started to relax and trust the process. I plan to stay in P2 for several more weeks unless my body tells me otherwise.
P3 terrifies me. I’m afraid I won’t maintain. I’m going to follow the P3toLife plan. I’ll let you know how it works out for me.

60) 46lbs Lost in 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
I have done several rounds of HCG, on round one I lost 26 pounds, and on Round 2 I lost 20 pounds. I have kept the weight off and have 1 more round to go to reach my ultimate goal. I was not hungry while on the VLCD and have found the maintenance phase to be very flexible and easy to follow. I plan to use the online doctor/pharmacy that Rayzel has provided as my doctor has retired. Thank you for your wonderful information and support in your blog, I enjoy and benefit from the information you share.

58) 30lbs Gone after 1st Round of the hCG Diet
Absolutely love HCG – and couldn’t have done it without the help of Rayzel – aka hCGChica! I was able to lose 30 lbs in my first round and so excited to start a second round – love all the knowledge and discount codes hCGChica gives! Without her and her site, It wouldn’t have been accomplished! Seriously a fan!
Thanks so much!

56) “I like most that you can actually see the results quickly”
Good morning. I have done several rounds with HCG however the shots seem to be working the most efficient. I’m on my 3rd week during a 6 week course and the results are just wonderful. I like most that you can actually see the results quickly. That is what keeps me going forward with this new way of dieting.
Happy weightloss to you ☺
-SP from Oklahoma
55) 14lbs Gone in 21 Days
I am on day 21 and have lost 14 lbs. I have a slow thyroid and suffer with migraines. The cleanness of the diet has helped with both of these. I am continuing on another 20 days and will be using HCG chicha resources the whole way. I watched videos, bought and used the workbook, and consult the blog often. I look forward to a successful P3 next. The diet works but it has to be a lifestyle change totally after just like any weight loss system. You cannot return to bad habits and expect that you will not gain weight. I learned this the hard way and will commit to P3 & 4 fully for my health maintenance.

54) Maintaining 60lb hCG Weight Loss for 2 Years
Hi Rayzel
I want to tell you how helpful your blogs where while on my hcg journey.
I lost 60 pounds on hcg I did 4 rounds. And it changed my life. I had a sugar addiction and was emotionally eating. It really made me face those issues. Its been 2 years and I’m keeping it off. I would tell anyone to give it a try!
-Jebe
53) “I totally believe my Metabolism has been reset.”
I am a huge fan of the HCG shots and of all the information hCGChica has put together. I was very skeptical at first because I tried the OTC drops once and felt miserable during the diet, although I did lose, but then seemed to gain it all right back. After becoming desperate with all other attempts failed, and because my new doctor provided medically supervised HCG, I nervously decided to try it again. I started trying to gather as much information as possible and that’s when I found hCGChica.
After seeing Rayzel’s results and with all the information and guidance provided on the hCGChica website, my nervousness turned to excitement and I embraced the protocol. I have been through 1 short round of HCG now, lost 15 pounds, and maintained that weight loss during phase 3 and phase 4 without a Steak Day. I even ate totally normal with no restrictions on phase 4. I attribute that to staying steadfast and not cheating during P2 or P3. I totally believe my metabolism has been reset. I still have about 50 pounds to lose so I just started Round 2 and am excited to watch the fat melt away. This time I am doing the extended round in hopes of accelerating the timeline for my 50 pound weight loss as much as possible.
I also used the links on hCGChica’s website to purchase my hCG instead of paying a premium going through my doctor this time. The diet is mentally tough at first because of the emotional addiction we all have with food. If weight loss is your goal this is definitely the way to achieve it because the HCG totally takes the hunger aspect away. Without HCG you have to battle the hunger along with the emotional and usually our results are minimal, if any, so we end up quitting instead of staying the course to achieve the results we want. The best part for me was having it reset my metabolism so I could eat normal after the protocol. I also kicked the habit on my areas of addiction because the HCG helped reduce the cravings I always had before. I learned to eat for fuel, not for fun.

52) Maintaining 55lb hCG Diet Weight Loss
Love my HCG!! I used it after each pregnancy and have lost approx. 55 pounds which I have kept off with maintenance and shorter rounds of HCG (24-26 days). It is definitely a huge lifestyle change but worth it!

51) From 225lbs to 148lbs with the hCG Diet
Dear Rayzel,
I lost over 70 lbs on HCG five years ago. I went from 225 to 148. I felt fantastic and I kept it off easily for a year. But I got sick and I broke up with my partner and old habits came back. So I regained everything back. However that was not the HCG, it was all me who ate herself back to the same weight. I have bought my hcg and as soon as I feel mentally ready, I will jump back on it again.
-Katrin
50) 51.8lbs Gone in 6 Weeks of P2 & 3 Weeks of P3
I am a newbie to the HCG world and began my journey on Dec 4, 3017. I had never tried HCG in the past and was really hopeful to get different results from the other failed dieting attempts. In a nutshell, I am 42 years old and REALLY want to know what it is like to be height/weight proportionate before. I have never been the appropriate weight for my height. I was always the “fat kid” in school and grew into the pretty, fat girl. No really, people will say things like, she is really pretty for a fat girl (like what does even mean?)
At any rate, I set my mind to succeed on the HCG drops, have successfully completed 2 rounds and accomplished a loss of 41.6 pounds in just 6 weeks while on the drops.
I was very apprehensive about giving my body the required rest from the drops by going into phase 3, so I purchased Rayzel’s Phase 3 diet program and am actually still losing weight. In fact, I just began week 3 of phase 3 and have lost an additional 10.2 pounds (in 2 weeks) by eating the healthy meals that Rayzel planned. This diet, along with Rayzel’s plan has also allowed me to get rid of the inflammation inside my body. I was actually scheduled to have surgery on a torn meniscus in my knee. Just before the surgery date, I realized that my knee is no longer in pain. I can bend it all the way back without pain and I am able to join the gym again for workouts. My doctor agreed that surgery is no longer a requirement at this time…WOOOOWHOOOO!!!
I am proud of my new lifestyle and often share pictures of meals from Phase 3 with friends and family.
Currently, I have lost a total of 51.8 pounds in just 9 weeks. My goal is to lose about 90 more pounds and update my after picture after each phase of this diet is completed. I am in week 3 of phase 3 now and can’t wait to view the new me before starting another round of HCG drops. Thank you for all that you have done for me.

49) 35lb Weight Loss with hCG Injections
I have most recently lost 35 pounds on the hcg injections. It is the only diet that has ever worked for me. I feel so good! I went down 3 sizes in 45 days. It helps you to reset your food choices. I have one more round to do in 6 weeks. So, for now, I am maintaining on phase 3. It is truly a godsend. No hunger! Lots of energy! And a great side effect is sleeping like a baby!

46) 220lbs to 130lbs with hCG Drops and Currently 13lbs down in 11 days of hCG Injections
Hi HCGChica,
I’m Sabrina and this is the 3rd time I’m doing this diet. First time I used drops and went from 220 lbs to 130 lbs which is still considered overweight considering I’m 5’2″. This time doing the injections after reading your correct dosage information and MY GOD what a difference, actually have to force myself to eat. 11 days in and 13 lbs own. It works, IT IS HARD, you need hella willpower. If you’re going to cheat…do it with foods/fruits allowed and hang your motivation photo all over (bedroom, bathroom, work, break room…etc).

45) 6.61lb Weight Loss in 8 Days and counting!
Dear Rayzel,
I am Brasilian, 44 years old, female, one kid (6 years old). I am still beginning the diet: 8th day of 500 calories/day (phase 2). Already 6.61 lb and very motivated! I watch your videos and it’s the best source of information on HCG diet I’ve found! Congratulations for your work!

44) Struggling with Hormone Issues but Succeeded with 67.8lb hCG Diet Weight Loss
Hiya!! We had communicated a few times via email and you were always of tremendous help to me. I struggled with hormone issues and hCG is the only thing that has ever worked for me. After 20+ years my weight melted off almost effortlessly. Once I got into the rhythm I had to set alarms to remind myself to eat.. it was that powerful. I lost 67.8 pounds over the course of my journey and had a few terrifying plateau’s along the way. That was as of last October, so I still hold my breath from time to time as I try to walk the line between “living a little” and “never going back!” So far I have done fairly well, settling in a nice flux range of about 5 lbs over last weigh day. I’ve added in some cardio, weight training, and yoga… even hired a personal trainer for a little while, but honestly, I am still figuring out what works for me. In my process I even faced workplace bullying over the foods that I had to eat while doing hCG (I travel for work), but funny enough… now everyone is on a diet haha!!
Anyway, you were the biggest help I found. The wealth of knowledge and the community you built. Your willingness to listen and help in every way you knew how is FAR more valuable than anything else in the process (aside from the hCG itself I suppose lol) I credit you with my success quite a bit. Just reading the stories and blog and watching the videos really helped me through many days when I was struggling with a plateau or the “mean girls club” 🙂
I wish you the best and I am still an active P3toLifer!! hugs!!<3

43) Melting Away 70lbs and 71inches with the hCG Diet
Remarkable- I am down close to 70 pounds, 4 sizes; but most notable, 71 inches. That is just shy of 6ft in inches! Feeling GREAT and ready to lose the last bit!

42) 182lbs to 153lbs with hCG Injections and Great Learnings in between Rounds
Hi Rayzel!
I wanted to share my results with you because you have made such a difference in my HCG journey!
I began my HCG journey in March of 2017 weighing 182 lbs. I am 5’6” and this was an uncomfortable weight for me, the most I’ve ever weighed in my life. A friend of mine was doing HCG injections and went along for the ride, knowing almost nothing. I saw success within the first week but then began to slip up and gain weight back. That’s when I found HCG chica! I read tons of great info and listened to podcasts daily. I quickly got back on track and ended my round at 158 lbs. I felt so much better about myself. I then tried a second round to reach my goal weight, but I completely failed on that round. Although I didn’t gain any weight, I didn’t lose any. It was frustrating, but now I see why its so important to not only wait the amount of recommended time between rounds, but also to be in the correct mindset before you begin a second round. After that, I was able to maintain the results from my first round of injections within a pound or two for 6 months. At about 6 months post HCG, I met my current boyfriend. We were eating out a lot, I was cooking him southern comfort food, and I gained a few pounds back. Then the holidays hit and I gained a few more! I decided to start another round in January 2018 to get to my goal weight. On this round, I started with all of the right tools and the right mindset. I started at 168 on January 1st, and I am currently at 153 (February 10). On each successful round of HCG, I actually extended my round to 40 days with “no injection days” each week. I find that after the first three weeks of steady loss, I often stall for about 5 days and then lose 3-4 lbs in a day or two. When I extend my round, I seem to lose really well in the last week. I am extremely happy with my results. I will be using the P3tolife program starting this week as I transition from P2 to P3. I think this guidance will really make a big difference for me this round. Thanks Rayzel, for all of your hard work! You have made my journey so much easier and more enjoyable! If I had not found your website, I don’t think I would have had success on HCG!

41) Losing the Abnormal Fat and 55lbs with 3 Rounds of Rx hCG
Hi Rayzel – First, THANK YOU for all that you do! Your website is SO INSPIRING and helped me SO MUCH when I first started this journey. OK, here’s my attempt at my story…
I discovered the Atkins diet in early 2001 and managed to lose 20 pounds doing that for TWO YEARS. After that it stopped working for weight loss, but was OK for maintenance for about 10 years. Then, the annual creep of 2 or 3 pounds began until I found myself 70 pounds overweight. I finally said ENOUGH! I heard about the hCG protocol and did LOTS of research. Even with that, I managed to get fooled by “fake” hCG drops that don’t have ANY hCG in them at all. (Price influenced that decision, big time!) So I tried those and the 500 calories diet for 2 weeks. I DID lose weight, but it was in all the wrong places AND I was starving! Back to the research… I found the hcgChica website, managed to purchase some RX hCG and started my real diet! It was like night and day! I was not hungry at all, and although I didn’t lose a lot of weight on the scale, it was really obvious that I was losing the abnormal fat and that the “good fat” I lost the first two weeks was being replaced. 3 rounds later, I am down 55 pounds, into the healthy BMI range and have maintained that for 6 months. The hCG protocol has given me hope that I will never have a problem with my weight in the future.

40) 32.3lbs Gone in 6 Weeks while using AP Veggies
Hi Rayzel!!!
Your website has been extremely helpful and informative! Thanks for all you do!
Round 1, 6 weeks of P2 so far, trying to do 8 weeks prior to going on vacation at the end of Feb.. Down 32.2! So easy! Following 500 daily calorie, AP veggies and having fruit at both meals, no melba or grissini. End goal is 90-100 lbs, so after taking a three-week break I’ll start Round 2 and do 6 weeks. Loose plan after that is to take the summer to stabilize and then do what I hope to be one last Round in early Fall. We are active Scuba Divers, so not only will our vacation be chock full of diving, so will our summer.
Stats: 5’4 (on a good day)
Starting weight – 264.8
Current weight – 232.6
Starting dose 150iu, after 4 weeks lowered to 120iu (started getting hungry, lowering dosage fixed the issue)
Goal weight – Between 150-160.
I had great success about 9 years ago with another program. Lost 120, but only maintained for 1.5 years. Older and wiser and just looking for “comfortable” and maintainable. Love my life, just want to make sure I’m able to prolong it as long as possible! Want to be the “World’s Oldest Scuba Instructor” one day!

39) “Nothing works quite like this…”
I have truly tried other diets and changed but nothing works quite like this. I trust Rayzel because she is a real person that has tried, researched and does frequent updates after her diet and with clients! Every time I have a question or concern I can find it through her website, videos or blog. I feel like I have a good coach and I trust this program she’s helped modify and modernize. Thank you!

38) 25lbs Gone and Lost a total of 31.25 inches with hCG Injections
Hi Rayzel,
I am 55 years old (not in menopause yet). I am 5′ 3 1/2″ tall. I have lost 25 pounds on a short round with Hcg injections from Diet Doc online.
Started in a very tight 16 stretchy jeans & 1X top. Now my pants are loose and I fit into some size 12 pants and some Med/Lg tops. I have lost a total of 31.25 inches.
I injured my knee in Oct 2017 and went to PT for almost 2 months. Nothing seemed to help, until my husband asked his Dr. & he suggested it might be affected by gluten. So I decided to start my Hcg round on January 4th, 2018. I’m down 25 pounds & my knee is almost healed 🙂
This time around I did everything differently. I purchased your P2 workbook, used the Hcgchica recipes online for P2 & got your P3 to Life program. Just started P3 last Saturday. It’s been great, I’m even down 2 pound below my LIW. Thank you SOOOOOO much!

37) 72lb Weight Loss with 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
Hi Rayzel,
Thank you so much for your website and knowledge on the HCG diet. It has been a great support.
I just started round three, phase two a week ago, and going strong, with a few hiccups along the way (thank you holidays). My journey started less than a year ago in July, 2017. Starting at 296lbs (this is what I weighed 9 mos pregnant and somehow found my way back after my son was born). Two rounds later, I have lost a total of 72lbs. Current weight is 224. I expect this round to take me below 200lbs, which I have not seen since high school. The physical and mental victories this diet has given me have been life-changing.

36) 28lbs Lighter & 12 inches Smaller (and counting!) with the hCG Diet
Hi Rayzel,
I am currently on my second-time-around with hCG and although sometimes I would just like to kick myself in the behind-side, I can’t change what is past, so it’s full speed ahead. I first discovered hCG in 2016 when I started a homeopathic version – not knowing that it was actually the hCG protocol, which I had never heard of before. But I couldn’t afford to continue with the weight loss clinic, which sent me to the internet and eventually to find hCG and Dr. Simeons Pounds & Inches paper.
That year I lost about 60 pounds through multiple rounds on both homeopathic versions and the injections and ended the year at just under my first short-term goal of getting below 200 lbs.
But then my world came crumbling down around me. Between Thanksgiving and New Year, I left my husband, moved 1000 miles away with my son, and started a new job. I had finished my round just before Thanksgiving and with the stress of life, completely let everything fall down around me.
My new job had me traveling 32 weeks in 2017, and eating in restaurants more than half of the year put the nail in that coffin, and I regained all 60 pounds plus another 15 to boot.
December 31st I started my current round, and have lost 28 (as of Feb 13) of those gained pounds again. I’m making this round last until my supply of hCG is used up, and I’m guessing that will put me at about 50 to 60 days total. My goal is to end up with a 30 to 40 lbs lost this round and the go right back into it after maintenance plus an extra 3 or 4 weeks.
I just joined P3toLife and have printed all the weeks out. I’ve begun gathering all the tools and supplies I’ll need, and can’t wait to do maintenance in a way that sets me up for success long-term.
One interesting tidbit for the masses… Even though starting at 15 lbs more than my first round, my inches this time were only 1/2 inch bigger than then. Now that I’ve lost enough to be the same weight as before during my first round, when I compare my inches this time with my inches at the same weight the first time, I’m actually about 12 inches smaller now! That tells me that what I lost the first time truly was fat and my mass now is more muscle than it was the first time around.
This is exciting to me and I am really motivated to keep going.

34) 50lb Weight Loss with 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
In December of 2016 I started my first round of HCG injections. I used the info from your website and chose your recommended hCG company. It was a huge success and I lost 50lbs total in two rounds. I was successful in keeping the weight off until about Nov- Dec of 2017. Many factors, the most prominent being stress, led to a 10# gain in 2 months time. I’m currently waiting for delivery of another order. I’ll be starting this weekend. Planning to lose those gained back 10# and more. I felt so much better while on the diet and the months of maintenance. My blood pressure dropped and the knee pain all but disappeared. Eating healthy is important and so I’m determined to get back to doing what I know is the right thing for my health. Thanks for your part in it and your encouragement. I need to check out your maintenance plan.

33) Size 16 down to Size 8 with 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet
I went from a size almost 16 to a size 8 with 2 rounds of hCG. The results were amazing and I felt amazing knowing that I was not only thinner but my body was cleansed. I was free of sugar and carb cravings. The only thing is you must stick with the plan or it will not work.

32) 24lbs Lost and More Self-Confidence Gained with One Round of the hCG Diet
Hello my name is Diamela and I am excited to say I Lost 24 pounds started at 165 and ended at 141. From a size 8 to a size 6. I still have not reached my ultimate goal but my journey is continuing. I will restart round two when I get back from Italy in March. It is great to go into my closet throw something on and not worry about what it looks like! I feel less tired, I like what I see in the mirror, and I have more self-confidence.
In addition friends and clients have seen the results and want to know what it is I am doing. Some of which have already started the hCG program! It feels good to help others with their own journey.

31) 15 Kilograms Gone in 8 Weeks at the age of 57
Hello there,
I live in Australia am 57 years old and through hcg diet I have lost 15 kilograms in 8 weeks.
Was surprised how simple it is to follow in phase2, I am on week1 of Phase 3 now which is why I have joined your group to get support and ideas.
Benefits include increased exercise and a healthier me so I can play and enjoy my 7 young grandkids. This is my first experience with the hCG diet and I am very happy with the results.

30) Mental Clarity & 20lb Weight Loss Achieved in 6 Weeks at 53 years old
I began my first round with Hcg this past September (2017) after having been in a major car accident that left me with a brain injury and unable to leave my house. Because I had been so active previously and now was on major medications and little movement, I quickly gained 20 pounds. To add insult to injury, my body severely atrophied. I was no longer able to fit into ANY of my clothes – not even my pajamas!!! At 53 years of age, any weight loss at all was not happening.
Upon my doctor’s suggestion, I did a 6 week round of Hcg and felt amazing! Not only did it assist with my brain injury and clarity, I was able to lose the 20 pounds! I did have to adjust my dosage many times as the doctor had me starting at 150. I finally ended up at 125.
Although I am still recovering, I am excited to know I can be successful with Hcg to continue my weight loss journey!

29) Maintaining 30lb Weight Loss after 2 Failed P3 Attempts
Hi Rayzel,
I discovered your Podcasts before my third round of hCG injections. If a few years ago, I had done a 40-day program following the strict protocol and had success. However, I was nowhere prepared for phase 3 and failed and put it all back on with a little extra. About six months later, I did a 21 day cycle and did not see the success I saw the first time and hit a couple of plateaus. I was frustrated and determined that my body just did not like hCG anymore.
This past year, I decided to give it one more chance after seeing a picture of myself and realizing I was almost 200 pounds. I found your Podcasts and mentally prepared myself for tackling phase 3. I knew that I could handle phase 1 and phase 2, that really did not know what to do with myself after my last injection. Your Podcasts help me to prepare myself and gave me ideas about how to tackle a phase 3 that I could bed with. With this third cycle, I lost 25 to 30 pounds and have been able to keep the weight off for over 90 days now. I have not bought your cookbook, But by listening to the podcast and hearing the different stories and that it was OK to try different things, that gave me the confidence to figure out what would work for my own body. I have figured out that if I keep my carb count below 60 g or less a day, I have been able to keep the weight off. I do not miss bread or pasta, but I can still find a way to sneak it in here there when my body really craves it and the scale has not punished me.
I really do not think I would’ve been as successful had I not found your podcast this time around. The “coach” that I pay for with my hCG injections, never coached or prepared me for what I really needed in phase 3. I feel like once I got the injections in my hand and they had my money, they really did not care what happens next. So thank Rayzel and all those that shared their stories.

28) 14lbs Gone, Pains, Joint Aches & Headaches Reduced in 2 Weeks at 48
Hi there! New to HCG, but have had weight struggles since my babies, who are now 18 and 21. I have done phentermine with great results, 40-pound loss, and gained it all back plus 20 topping at 200lbs. No one taught me how to eat and I didn’t make any changes. I love to exercise, but that doesn’t show me weight loss results…..so I decided to try HCG. Two weeks in, 14 pounds down and not one headache! I have had chronic headaches all my life and cutting the dairy and gluten may be my cure! Feeling better, joint aches and pains reduced. I am 46 years old and am aiming to run a half marathon by 48 yrs.
Loving your recipes and education!! It’s all very inspiring!

27) 14.8lb Weight Loss in a Round of hCG Injections
Hey Rayzel and HCG Chica crew,
I had my last shot yesterday. I’m down 14.8 from my post load weight and am sure my weight is actually lower. I’m a bit constipated (sorry for TMI). Loved my experience with your recommended hCG source and am considering doing your Phase 3 program.

26) “It’s F-ing amazing!” 43lbs lost in 2 Rounds despite Hypothyroidism
Hi Rayzel!
Thanks so much for sharing a part of yourself here, and for the reminder to contribute! You’ve made this journey doable for me honestly, between your site and Instagram, thank you!
I’ve done 2 rounds so far, and am starting my 3rd at the end of this month. Altogether I’ve lost 43 lbs. I’ve gained so much throughout it! Probably most importantly and amazingly I’ve learned I can not only love my body again but actually rely on it and be friends with it, if that doesn’t sound crazy. I’ve been hypothyroid for almost 20 years now and struggled with losing weight that entire time pretty much since college. I’ve blamed myself and my health for not being able to lose weight or get healthy or really embrace wellness, which is my obsession! I dive into not just health food but supplements, different forms of algae, nutrition, all sorts of essential oils and energy healing, but my weight? Couldn’t get it together. I’d pretty much given up on even wanting for a happy place with that aspect of myself. Doing the hcg protocol has literally given me the gift of the possibility of wholeness. It’s f-ing amazing! I still have the hypothyroid and I’m absolutely a work in progress, but I now know my body is fully capable of kicking ass and shedding this weight. I trust my body again and have a newfound love for the skin I’m in!

25) Losing 13lbs Consistently with Every Round of the hCG Diet
The HCG diet gives me hope. I know it will always be there for me to help me get back to my goal weight after the holidays. I have done 4 rounds over 3 years and have lost about 13 pounds each time. It may seem extreme, but for me, it’s easier to do something extreme for a short period of time than something not extreme for a long period of time.

23) 35lb Weight Loss in 23 Days on Strict Protocol
The Hcg diet has been like a miracle to me. When I was younger I could lose weight just by cutting back and eating lighter. Now, at my age of 48 and being menopausal, I can’t seem to lose weight no matter what I do. I still lose slower than most people but I lose! I love it. The first time I did it I followed the OP, and I was pretty miserable but I lost over 35 lbs. in 23 days! That was several years ago. I’ve done it a couple more times since then and I went rouge. I quit eating the fruit and melba toast, ate more veggies and mixed them, and also some other things like coconut oil and more proteins. I still lose and I’m not so miserable along the way. This is the best diet for me!!!
-Tammy
22) 15lbs Down in Less than 2 Weeks
I just started this journey (1st injection was 2/8 but I was already doing the vlcd since 2/3 in preparation for the shots when they arrived). I am down 15lbs since 2/1 (to 2/12), feel surprisingly good for not having much for calories! I am very encouraged by my results so far and am hopeful this life change will stay permanent this time (have lost 70 and 50 lbs previously and life crept in and I went back to my old ways). In addition to the pounds lost, I can feel definite changes in inches overall.
Your videos and encouragement are more helpful than you might know! Thank you!
-Rachel
21) Size 12-14 down to Size 2-6
Using the HCG Protocol and HCGChica has helped me make a profound change in my life. They both have guided me through a major mind shift of how I think about food, diet and self image. I spent 20 years trying to get off the same 20-40 pounds and the last 12 months have spent in a maintain state of body and mind. I went from bouncing between 12-14 size and now consistently wear a 2-6. Why did a waste so much time. Now I live in a normal relationship with myself and food. NO MORE FOOD WARS.

20) 17lbs and Counting on her 1st Round of the hCG Diet
Rayzel,
Your website and workbook gave me the confidence to move forward with the HCG protocol. I am 8 days to the end of my first round of Phase 2 and have lost 17 pounds! I continue to battle the 8:30pm snack monster but I am armed with tools and recipes that are aiding my success. I want to thank you sincerely for sharing your experiences, all the work you put in on graphics and photography, and mostly just being yourself!

19) Keeps Coming back to hCG
In 2011, I took HCG first round through a doctor, then several more rounds, on my own and ordered through an overseas pharmacy. I didn’t do the program right. As soon as I lost the weight of 50 lbs, I slowly, but deliberately went back to eating my old habits. I’ve felt like I’ve been hanging on with my fingernails to keep the weight off ever since. Then just since August of 2017, I’ve packed on 30 plus pounds by eating high sugar, high carbs and being in denial about what it does to my mind and my body. So, I’m desperate AGAIN and willing to do HCG. I found HCG Chica and realized that I never really did HCG correctly, even with the doctor supervised. So I’m very hopeful that this time it will stick. I ordered my HCG through your site because I’m relying on Rayzel’s endorsement that this is the REAL stuff. I’m excited to learn that I might not have to feel like I’m starving, by adjusting my dose. I’m planning on using all of the tools that Rayzel has available, (already ordered the workbook).
I need to find a community where I can talk/text/email other hcgers who are willing to be supportive. I have to admit, that I’m a bit scared that I won’t be able to survive. Rayzel has so much information, which I really like but I haven’t yet found out how to connect with live people who have done/are doing the hcg while I’m doing it.

18) From Size 12 to a Size 2 with the hCG Diet
I LOVE the HCG diet it is the best diet I have ever done, the results are so fast that it motivates me more and more and it changed my life, once I broke that vicious cycle I no longer craved the garbage I was eating.
I went from a Size 12 to a size 2. I would have been happy with an 8 but each time I hit my goal I wanted more!! Thank you.

17) 25lb Weight Loss in 45 Days
Good morning Rayzel, I just wanted to let you know how much your story and enthusiasm for this program has meant to me.
I lost 25lbs on my first round and was working with a local clinic here in LA. I didn’t have a good rapport with the lady that was in charge of the program, I felt like she didn’t understand what the struggle was, since she had never actually been heavy. I was signed up for the extended program, I believe it is 45 days? And after reaching the end of the first series I felt like I could kill someone for a piece of pizza or a loaf of French bread LOL.
I ended up re-gaining my weight; however, with your encouragement I am going to try again. I just ordered the shots thru your online vendor and am waiting for them to arrive this week.
Your encouragement and support means so much and I know this time I have the tools to sustain the weight and continue on the journey. Thanks for everything you do.

16) 11lbs Lost in 12 Days and Counting!
I have followed you for 2 years. But, I never took the plunge! Until weeks ago, I followed all your videos and purchased your Fantastic book off Amazon. I truthfully am not sure I could do this without the book. Anyway, I ate much less carbs etc for 10 days prior and then totally ate clean for loading days. I didn’t gain anything. I’m currently on day 12VLCD and have lost 11 pounds. I’ve gone up/down 1 pound for past 3 days which is very annoying but, I believe I’ve figured it out. That’s what your book has helped me do. Also… dosage is soooo important! I started on 15. Went to 16. Then tried 17. I was starving on 17 all day. Knew to go back to 16 where I’m pretty comfortable until time to eat. Again, thanks to your book and videos laying it out so well!
Thanks so very much for your information! You are that “friend” I don’t have doing this with me.

14) 152lbs to 117lbs with 2 Rounds of the hCG Diet at the age of 66
My results … I am female and 68 years old so any weight loss program that works seems like a miracle! I did 2 HCG rounds 2 years ago and lost 35 pounds. I went from a size 12/14 to a size 6 / 8, even a 4 in jeans! From 152 pounds to 117 pounds.

13) 196lbs to 135lbs with hCG Injections while on Hormone Replacement Therapy & Perimenopause
I went on HCG for the first time in Feb 2010. I am 5’9″ and weighed 196 pounds, bulging out of a size 16 jeans. I used the injections and did the protocol several times over two and 1/2 years to lose down to 127, size 4/6. 127 is not maintainable for me, however 130-135 is the point my body likes to be at. I am currently at 140, going through menopause. I exercise 3-6 times per week for the past year. Since losing all my weight on HCG, the top amount I have weighed is 150 which I consider very successful since I have been in perimenopause and hormone replacement therapy ever since beginning the protocol. I feel so much better about myself and comfortable being in a size 6! HCG isn’t an easy protocol but it is simple and it does work!

12) 100lb Weight Loss in 3 Rounds within a Year of a Pre-Menopausal Woman
HCG diet gave me my life back.
After YEARS of trying Every diet-I finally found something that not only works but has helped me to make true lifestyle changes-not another crash diet.
I’m an almost 50 year old pre menopausal woman. Have done 3 rounds of HCG and lost 100 pounds in a year. I have gone from a size 20W to a size 4. Not only have I lost weight but my body composition has changed.
I have more energy and mental clarity than I have had in years-and sleeping better too!
So thankful for the HCG protocol and Rayzel. HcgChica’s website was so completely helpful-filling in the gaps of information about the protocol that not even my doctor could answer. Her videos are so motivating and helped me follow and trust the process.

11) Losing 19lbs and counting with hCG Injections
Thanks so much for all you do. I love the Pod Cast interviews that you have done. This really kept me going during my P2 that begin in Jan 2018. My commute is about 45 minutes each way, so I listen to the inspiring words.
As so many people have said, I have tried ALL diets and HCG is the only thing that works for me that I can stick to. I am very much and all or nothing type of person. (trying to change this) I was very successful in 2010 and lost about 30 lbs doing 4 rounds. Not really doing it the right way. Lost, then gained, then another round. Got down to about 135 and working out like a mad women all the way through ALL phases. I am 5′ 7″, so this was pretty small for me and really unrealistic. I kept it off about 1 year and then it slowly crept up with stress and lots of life changes.
At the end of 2017, I decided I would try again but didn’t want to do the HCG it is wasn’t’ real. I don’t think my first HCG drops were real. That’s when I found your website with the recommendations of real HCG.
In January 2018, I began at 187 (most ever, not being pregnant). I am currently (02/12) down 19 lbs or (168 lbs) on a long round of about 43 days. Its still slow compared to so many other people’s results, but better than anything else I have tried. Going until my injections run out (probably this week)
Looking at a new approach to P3 with your help. In 2010, I was told I had to immediately go to 1500 calories and stick there. I have learned alot through your website on what to try differently this round and phase 3. I am probably in for 3 rounds total to get back to my new goal of 145.
Thanks again for all you do!!!

9) A 54-year old’s 5 Rounds of hCG Injections
Hi Rayzel,
Your blog, suggestions, recipes, encouragement, and direction has been so helpful to me. THANK YOU. I am a 54-year-old woman who in the last 10 years has done the HCG protocol at a total of 5 times (this being my fifth time). I am at the very end of P2 (one or two more injections) and I have a lost a total of 20 pounds but have been stuck at 147 for the last three days…SO FRUSTRATING at the end of my journey to get stuck. I had hoped to get down to 140 during this six weeks and would like to know when you think I can do the protocol again to lose another 7-10 pounds.

7) 14lbs Lost in a Month’s time with the hCG Diet
Hello Rayzel,
Thank you for creating the hcg diet workbook! I tried the HCG protocol a year ago with lots of success. And then, I went on vacation, didn’t take a scale, indulged and gained weight. Then upon returning I continued to eat without really trying and I gained all the weight back. I continued to feel sorry for myself and even went so far as to say oh well, I am already this big, how much bigger can I get. For me and my 5’1″ frame that turned out to be 195 lbs. As I researched and prepared for my second attempt with the protocol, I found your site. I ordered the workbook and have been working it since January 1st (of this year). So far, I am down about 14 lbs (02/12). I have not been doing so well for the last two weeks. I keep fluctuating mostly due to not sticking to the protocol because of boredom. This morning I decided I owe it to myself to do better over the next 2-3 weeks so that I can begin Phase 3 with my head held high.
I am so glad that I found your website and your workbook. What genius! Thank you for the recipes too. I have tried a couple and need to try more so I don’t get bored.

6) 43lb Weight Loss in 2 Rounds of te he hCG Diet despite Thyroid Cancer
Rayzel,
I must say first that I admire you so much. You are such an inspiration to so many. I did two rounds of HCG and lose 43 pounds I started at 232 and ended up at 189. After I finished two rounds I had to do a round of radiation for thyroid cancer I had surgery for two years prior. That was over 6 months ago and am getting ready to do my last round of radiation.
My weight has went up and down during this time, mostly up…… I now weight 212, After this radiation, am going to do a round of HCG or how many I need to get back down to a normal weight. I have to say, This diet has been a life saver for me. I never felt better losing weight with anything before. Wish me luck on my next adventure and I will let you know how things go, Keep US motivated.

5) 26lb Weight Loss with the hCG Diet
HCG helped me to lose about 20 pounds. After the birth of my son I was 220. I slowly lost down to 190 with whole 30. I could not lose anymore alone. HCG allowed me to get down to around 170. This was a 30 day round. I did the second round and lost 10lbs but it came back did not stabilize. Weight returned to 170. 3rd round lost down to 157 again had trouble stabilizing weight said around 164.
Currently 164 not sure why I have such an issue stabilizing and can’t capture the successs of my first round but I know HCG works. I love your blog.

3) 89lbs Gone and 8 Sizes Down with the hCG Diet
My results with the HCG diet are I have lost 89lbs and have gone from size 12/14 to size 4/5. Losing the weight has given me more self confidence and I feel so much more healthy. HCG diet is tough in the beginning but it was and still is such a good feeling to prove to myself that if I want to achieve something I absolutely can. I have learned so much about myself though this journey. When I discovered Hcgchica the delicious, amazing recipes and support made it so much easier for me. Now I cook the P3 recipes for me and my family who love them!

2) 212lbs to 122lbs, Size 18 to a Size 2 with 5 Rounds of the hCG Diet
Hi Rayzel,
Just wanted to share a bit of my journey with you. I did my first round thru a nutritionist using synthetic drops in 8/2010. I believe they were real HCG as I stabilized perfectly. Then the next round tasted different but still her drops. After that round my hair fell out, never perfectly stabilized. Kept weight off by eating P2 & exercising for the most part. Did a third round with same results. Kept all weight off, but struggled. Didn’t know what to eat so ate P2 again. Did indulge in chocolate, alcohol, etc. occasionally. My 4th round was with drops from Intermountain which I later found had little to no HCG. Again, hair loss & didn’t stabilize.
My weight was a roller coaster for nearly seven years with daily struggles & eating very little. I decided due to actual weight gain from menopause to do a fifth round. This time with Rx pellets. Only had around 10 pounds to lose but did the longest round yet as I had slow losses. Overall from 2010 to 2018 I went from 212 pounds to 122, a size 18 to a size 2. I have stabilized beautifully after this recent round. I had discovered your wonderful website a year or so ago and I believe it was an answered prayer as I have subscribed to your P3tolife and it has been a life saver! A wonderful, creative, delicious guide to P3 and beyond! I have never eaten such delicious food and so much, feeling satisfied & maintaining perfectly! I haven’t even begun my exercise program yet. You are truly changing lives by removing the stress factor from P3 and beyond! Thank you for all of your efforts and your passion to see us succeed! I have learned a great deal about nutrition and my intolerance’s & sensitivities over the past 8 years. HCG is a great way to lose weight and keep it off making true lifestyle changes if using the Rx only, following protocol and topping it off with your P3tolife! Thank you so very, very much!

1) Stable Weight for 3 Years After a 50 lb Weight Loss with hCG
Hello,
I completed 3 rounds on the hcg diet. I’ve kept my weight stable for 3 years with the exception of 10lbs that I can’t seem that get or keep off. I would get to my goal weight of 140lbs, then I would gain back 10lbs. I would love to maintain at 140. Any suggestions?.. other than that I overall, lost 50lbs on the hCG Protocol.
I’m looking to start it again for the 10 extra pounds but I since developed a fibroid which I’m thinking is because of the hcg.
I pray not, but in my mind I think so. It just seem so coincidental that it came right after my last round.
The positive effect it has on my life is it changed how I see food. I no longer eat till I’m full. I no longer eat a lot of sugar or carbs.
You have to want to change for good in order to have lasting results.
