hCG Weight Loss Home Seminars

Yeah! we are all scheduled to do our first seminar!

I hope we have prepared enough. It is exciting and then scary all at the same time because I have never done it before.....

HCG diet is very sensitive

I have found out what was meant when I heard that this diet was very sensitive. One bite, one sip, etc can throw off your whole day. 

You would think, since I am married to the doctor who is telling people how to do this diet, that I would have it down by now and be able to stick to it. But alas, no.

To all you hcg dieters out there who really stick to the diet...I salute you!

I have finally lost another pound. But I have to come to grips with my stress eating. Thankfully, the hcg makes it so that I don't gain, but still, it gets discouraging to not see the scale move down. Resolve, where are you?

Weight Loss Stall today

Well, I didn't do too well the last two days. I succumbed to temptation and didn't get back on track until today. Luckily, that has only caused me to stall and not gain weight back.
I get my second shot today (hCG + Vit B-12). I'm getting ready to make protein shakes for JOS and myself. Chocolate for her, vanilla for me. Yumm. That will hold us until lunch.
More later...

Seattle Clinic sold

Well, we've given up the ghost so to speak on the Seattle clinic location. Sadly people keep asking if we are in Seattle, and we have to tell them no. High rent, not enough clientele, not enough time. If we had funds to keep us going for a while, we could have done it, but we ran out of time.
Does this mean "they" won?
Well, maybe it does. But...we are still going. Just not in an office in Seattle. We will still do our seminars throughout Washington and operate out of the Kennewick office. I hope we can travel to pretty places we haven't seen yet. That would make the seminar idea really worth it.

Yeah! 1 1/2 more pounds gone!

After our trip to Kennewick I was surprised to find out that I had still lost weight.

I didn't drink enough water and we were too busy to eat throughout the day, which made me kind of go overboard when we did eat. Especially after a patient recommended a good Mexican restaurant in Pasco(El Asadero). It looked so good that I went ahead and ordered something totally off the diet. ok, it had some items from the diet, but cooked totally wrong(for the diet). It was SOOOOO good, though, that it was worth it.

So, business was good, my dieting was off track, and we almost got stuck on top of the pass, but all in all, all is well that ends well, I guess.

I still lost 1 1/2 pounds!

And for anyone in the area, our patient was right.... El Asadero is fantastic! It is on Court street in Pasco near an auto part store. YUMMMMMM!

HCG helped me to lose 3 pounds Today.

Today is day four.(second vlcd day). I was so excited to wake up and see that I had lost three pounds since yesterday. I love this diet!

Yesterday I ate a protein shake with a shot of espresso for breakfast. It was a great iced mocha!
Then I had a salad of lettuce, cucumbers and grilled chicken with apple slices.(dressed with mct oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and mrs dash table blend) For dinner I had 1/3 pound of sirloin steak, grilled cabbage and onions, a handful of cucumber slices and an apple. I also had 68 ounces of water throughout the day.

I love waking up and seeing the pounds disappear. Just for fun, I weighed myself right before bed and I was the same as I was in the morning(138.5lbs). When I woke up this morning I was 135.5 lbs. Three pounds that just disappeared!

The best part is that I'm not really hungry and because of the hcg, my body automatically wants more water, so that has not been a very big problem either. Usually I hate drinking water, but yesterday I was able to get 68 ounces. For me, that is a very big deal.

Today, we are over at the Kennewick office. It has been fun seeing the new place. It is a little difficult since we woke up too early to make a lunch(4 am) but I'm sure we'll be able to find something healthy somewhere.

Day Two, hCG Diet Protocol

I've started the diet again, no more procrastinating. That last 15 pounds is going to be TOAST.
My starting weight yesterday was 137 lbs, and today, on my second loading day, it is 138.25 lbs. So far, I've gained less weight on this loading than I did on my first time. 

My goal is 118 pounds. That is the weight that I was before and after all my kids, so I think it is probably a good weight for me. Of course I would probably still be happy around 120-125. We'll see what happens.

My first loading day I went to Popeye's. MMM Buffalo chicken minis and cajun fries. Then for dinner we went for duck pho. At least, that is what Allen had. I had pork bun(vermicelli noodles and salad) with egg roll. I LOVE loading days!

This morning I had lasagna and corn pancakes. With butter! and milk. YUMMMY.
Can't wait for lunch! Better get some more water.

Don't forget to check out our websites at gotnd.com and gotnd.vpweb.com.

Ask me how you can earn hcg for FREE

That is the first line of my webpage: www.gotnd.vpweb.com.
Catchy isn't it?
We are so confident that hcg works for weight loss! I just wish the rest of the world knew about it. Hcg helps the body to unlock the stored fat to be metabolized, which gives the dieter about 2000 calories a day for their dietary needs. So that is why people don't usually experience hunger - their body is feeding off of their own fat!

And the answer is this: if you can gather 15 people to pay for and come to a seminar in your home, you can get the program for free for the first month. 

Any men out there wanting to lose 20 pounds or more?

The hCG diet protocol works for men, too. Don't be afraid of the haters that say you will grow boobs or lose your manhood. Yes, hCG is a hormone made in the body of pregnant women, but it does not cause these side effects in men, at least not at the dosages taken for weight loss. I have heard of people taking this for body building purposes and I don't know about the side effects there, because they are taking much higher dosages.

You can lose up to a pound a day on the hCG diet protocol. It actually works better for men (by that I mean, FASTER) for some reason than it does for women. (Which is totally unfair!) I lost 13 pounds in the first two weeks, but my husband lost 10 pounds in the first week.

Bellingham weight loss seminars

We decided to start advertising the home seminars in Bellingham. It is kind of far from our home, but we do have family up there we could visit at the same time. Maybe we could take my mom to one? I don't know, we don't have the oral  hcg and she is kind of scared of needles.

I thought I was scared of needles, too until I tried the shots. They were so easy and the weight just dripped off. I think it is more a psychological thing, with apprehension of the needles hurting, than an actual physical pain. Those needles are so tiny, they hardly hurt at all.

Oklahoma is OK

Things must be working, even if they are going dreadfully slow. Somebody in OK, has found the website I made. I wonder how much faster this would be if I actually knew what I was doing? Is it going to happen before we drown in the economic crisis? - not the current one that everyone is going through - the old one that has been my life since adulthood.
If there is anyone out there....do you have any ideas you can comment to me about other sites I can try for FREE to help get our hcg ideas out to the public? Our budget is extremely limited. OK, who am I kidding, we don't even have a budget... However, I have put up something on facebook, I have this blog, next myspace, I guess...

I love free business cards!

Vista print ROCKS! I just finished making my first business cards and brochures. Can't wait to see them...(vistaprint.com)
No bites on  home seminars yet, but I was able to see my blog and website by Googling hcg home seminars. It's a slow start, but it is a start.
For all you hcg'ers out there, don't forget to drink your water, water, water, and more water.  And if you are having trouble staying in ketosis, try cutting out fruit and see if that helps.

Seattle Office

Construction sucks. We went into the office today and everything was still a mess. We even had to call and cancel an appointment. Hopefully, it will be up and running by next week.

What's in a name?

Well, isn't it interesting to find out that certain people have trademarked the name we have been using since January. Who really is HCG Diet Center anyway? Who has the right to the name? I guess the lawyers will  have to duke it out, I don't know what the legalities of naming a business are. I do know that the nice folks who have been helping us and live in Kennewick started  using the name in January, and certain other individuals trademarked it sometime around February 14. Happy blankety blank Valentine's Day...

Seminar brochures

Well, I finally finished the brochures and have added it to Allen's website. Now I just need to get the handouts ready. I think we have one person already interested in hosting a seminar, so we will see how that goes.
I hope this works, as I am running out of ideas of how not to drown in our financial troubles, while still helping people find reasonably priced hcg. I know this stuff works, I have seen it happen. (In the mirror, and on other people) I don't want to leave anyone to the sharks, so to speak.
Coming soon: You tube videos and informational blogs to help out all the people trying to do hcg on their own...

hCG Weight Loss Home Seminars

Yeah! We can now offer hCG weight loss home seminars at a group rate if more than five people commit to the package price of $175 each.(The package includes the seminar, one month of hcg, one bottle of mct oil, and one container of protein shake) That means that each person could save $170 off of regular prices. I hope this catches on because then we wouldn't have to worry about space rent or leases or utilities. What a relief that would be.
