I was talking to a customer who was ordering the HCG ezTrim when he mentioned that he is 52 and his joints are really hurting him. He felt taking the weight off would help his joints to feel better and I agreed. He went on to say that he knew things were going to be downhill from here on out, that he was going to have to live with not feeling as good as he used to, because that is what getting old is all about. I told him I wasn’t buying that idea and that I am only a year younger than he is and that the older I get the more I do to make sure I am at least maintaining my health. Truth be told, I am in better shape than I was fifteen years ago and I am going to continue to get fitter and healthier. If you believe you are going to go downhill, then that is what is going to happen. If you believe that you are getting healthier and doing all you can with diet and exercise to make that happen, then that is what will happen. We talked about the Complete Tissue & Bone Formula and the Joint Formula and he said he would get back to me after he gets the weight off. I hope he does because it is pretty sad to think that within a few months he could be doing great with the herbs.

This week I realized that I had a problem with mind over matter. About eight years ago I put all around my computer that I weigh 145 lbs, thinking that is the lowest I could ever hope for. When I hit 145 back in November I realized that I needed to go lower to look the way I wanted to. In January I did a two week cycle of HCG ezTrim and got down to 136 lbs. We took our little trip and when we got back home I was back up at 145 lbs. I went on the HCG for a week and got it off in February and now here I am a month later back at 145 lbs. In thinking about this problem I know that 145 lbs is stuck in my head because of all of those years of having that as my goal. When I keep thinking about what I weigh, 145 is what keeps coming to mind. I printed off a bunch of 135 lbs in big print and put them all over my computer, and all over the house. I need to reprogram my mind that 135 lbs. is what I weigh.

The mind is an amazing thing and what you think about is what your brain will help you to achieve. To me being healthy and able to function to the best of my ability is what I want. As I reprogram my brain to my new weight I truly believe that my body will allow me to stay at the weight that I feel good at and want to maintain. I thought about just working on my mind and letting the weight come off as it will, but knowing that I can be where I want to be in a week to ten days with the HCG drops it is too hard to pass up getting it off fast. So here I go again, hopefully for the last time this year.

HCG ezTrim is only $42.50 for a six week supply. Today is a good day to get started on the new you!

Still working on my weight loss with HCG ezTrim

I’m still working on my weight loss with HCG ezTrim, I lost 60 lbs between May and the first part of November 2010. I put on a few Christmas pounds as most people do, and with the loading was at 152.2, but after three days of dieting I am at 141.8. I don’t have a number I am shooting for, but just want to get rid of the little tummy that I still have. I’m hoping another ten pounds will do it. I am thrilled with this diet. Due to my thyroid issues since having Radioactive Iodine at the age of twenty I have gained and gained weight no matter how much I tried to lose it. I was able to keep some weight off with exercise, but with dieting any weight loss always came back. HCG ezTrim resets your metabolism and weight set point. I feel it is really working for me and I have talked to many people that are as happy as I am with it. I maintained 144 up through December 24th and then found with all the goodies my old sugar addictions kicked in. I learned about Obesogens which are foods and products that make people eat more, and I can truly attest to the fact that eating the goodies made me totally lose control. I was happy that the first diet day after loading I had no hunger and no cravings for those foods. 10.4 lbs loss in two days is a record for me! I am hoping a three week program will get me to where I want to be, but will plug along until I get there. We have a great little hcgeztrim website to help you learn more about this great product. Feel free to call me if you want to learn more or need moral support through the diet. It is so worth it! 801-228-1901

Are you ready to lose weight for the last time?

Your journey begins as you purchase your first bottle of HCG ezTrim. As you await the arrival of the HCG ezTrim you prepare yourself fully by reading the diet protocol. Some people choose to cleanse before they start their diet journey, but many people skip this step and still have much success. You prepare your kitchen by disposing of all the tempting foods that have gotten you into this predicament, and learn about the meals that will be eaten.

The vegetables that are allowed, spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage and zucchini, 2 cups of each except 1 cup of tomatoes or onions. Only one vegetable for lunch and one for dinner choosing a different one for each meal planning your daily meals thinking, there is so much variety, this will be fun!

You find that 100 grams of organic veal, beef, chicken breast, ocean caught or freshwater white fish, lobster, crab, or shrimp are on the menu, noting that all visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. You think to yourself, I can do that, I like those meats and I can have one for lunch and a different one for dinner. You look at the many recipes on the HCG recipes blog and think they all sound so yummy you can’t wait to begin!

You also can eat one breadstick (grissino) or one Melba toast for lunch and for dinner. An apple or orange, or a handful of strawberries or one-half grapefruit will make a nice snack twice a day again choosing to have a different fruit each time. This brings a smile to your face as you think of savoring the flavor and enjoying the sweetness it brings to you.

You study and understand that you cannot eat any fats during the weight loss cycle, nor can you use lotions or oils on your body. You falter for a moment thinking this is harsh, but quickly decide that you can do it for this moment in time. Aloe vera makes a very nice substitute and you think to yourself, this is good for my skin, I won’t miss lotion at all. You also learn that it is best to use natural shampoo without conditioner on your hair and chemical free deodorant. Dr. Christopher’s shampoo and a Thai deodorant stone are perfect and you again say, I can do this!

You can drink all the water and herbal tea that you want and know that the Yerba Mate tea will give you energy and you think of your other favorite herbal teas that will help you during this time. You have read the testimonials and think to yourself, they did this, I can do it too! You talk to family and friends and find that many of them have used HCG ezTrim to lose weight, and they encourage you and give you the strength you need to do it.

Finally HCG ezTrim comes in the mail and you celebrate for two days while taking ten drops three times a day and eating ice cream and french fries and sour cream. HCG ezTrim tells your body to burn fat when you eat a low calorie diet. You chart your journey and though disappointing that you gained on your two days of celebration, you find that after your first day of dieting you have lost those extra pounds along with a few more. Every night you go to bed excited for morning to come, when you run in and weigh yourself to discover your loss for the day.

You go many days losing and losing and it is such a thrill, but a day comes a few weeks later that there is no loss and you think, what? I ate exactly right this is not fair! It happens again for a day or two and then you remember that you learned of this plateau and all that needs to be done is to have an apple day, where you get to enjoy six apples and all the water and tea that you want that day. Then the next morning comes and success is again yours with many pounds lost, right where you would have been had the plateau not happened.

Your first six week cycle goes so quickly and the weight loss is great. Your family and friends are amazed at the difference when you tell them that cycle is over. You go on to stabilization where you get to eat more calories but do not eat any starches or sugars for those three weeks. The stabilization and maintenance cycle gives your body time to adjust to this change and accept the new weight as your ideal weight. Then you can add sugars and starches for three weeks and then start another weight loss cycle starting with two days of celebration. Some people find that one cycle is all they need to get back their youthful body, but others need two, three, four or even more until their weight loss journey finally comes to an end.

At the end of your journey with HCG ezTrim whether short or long it has been a learning experience of finding what foods can be eaten and what foods are not for you. It is a lesson we all must go through to maintain our youthful bodies, but well worth the journey. And should you ever go astray and the weight starts to come back on you can go back to these lessons you learned and the HCG ezTrim will help you to burn the fat again.

Answers to Questions - feel free to call me for questions as well.

Read the Pounds and Inches book for more information about the diet and how it came about. I'll be starting a cycle to get rid of the last few pounds, what a great way to start the new year. I'm so happy I found HCG ezTrim and what it has done for me. I never thought I would be thin again.

Losing more weight on my Third Cycle of HCG ezTrim

---

I have lost a few more pounds for a total of 56 lbs, if you count the loading weight I’ve lost 68 lbs. since the middle of May. I am getting pretty close to being where I need to be, I’m working on that little poochy tummy and then I’ll call it good. This is a photo of me at the Utah Olympic Park holding the torch. I feel like a gold metal winner already!

For people that might be ready to start another round you will notice that the HCG ezTrim tastes different. The FDA has made some rulings on the homeopathic HCG that it needs to be an alcohol base. I loved the mineral water base and it worked well for me, but so far with this new formulation I notice that I am NOT having the hunger problems that I was having with the mineral water formula. I also lost 2 lbs more this first week than the last cycle and half a pound more than the first week of my first cycle.

The last two cycles I didn’t experiment much with recipes, but this time I have been using the recipes from HCG Recipes Blog. I really like the mock shake ‘n bake and did my own version using 1/2 cup minced dried onions and a teaspoon of italian spice blended fine in a blender. One large chicken breast makes three servings, so I just washed and cut the chicken and dipped it in the “crumbs” and baked for about 18 minutes in the oven. I like cooking the meats in advance so was able to eat one and store two servings. It’s great reheated on the stove to keep the outside crunchy and sliced up over a salad. Its getting cold here in Utah and I love soup in the cold weather. The recipe for Effortless Cream of Chicken soup is really tasty and effortless. I have also been enjoying the apple crisp, not quite as good as the real thing, but a good substitute and makes me feel like I am having a nice treat.

I still have to mentally “get there” quite often, Halloween was really hard with the candy. We had plenty of trick-or treaters come and wipe us out, and that was a rough night for me. I went through a lot of gum, its not easy to not be able to munch on something. I was rewarded in the morning with a nice loss, so it made the pain worth it. Lots of people that see me are asking about the diet. Some have tried it and others are thinking about it. You really need to mentally prepare yourself for this diet, because old habits die hard. Keep committed to eat only the foods that are allowed and success will be yours!

I’ve talked to several people that aren’t losing weight like others are. The first part of the protocol talks about cleansing being HIGHLY recommended. The reason that cleansing is so important for weight loss is that fat stores toxins. So the heavier a person is the more toxins they have. If you aren't losing weight, the fat is holding on to the toxins for dear life, your dear life that is. The fat is protecting you from the damage that toxins can cause. So give your fat helping hand and cleanse first. Cleansing using the cleanse kit is easy and affordable and one kit lasts about two months. It is worth the time and the money.

The huge pile of clothes that no longer fit.

If you are considering the HCG ezTrim diet, please thoroughly read through the protocol and make sure you understand what is involved. The diet works for everyone that follows the diet plan, but it is hard and takes determination. Remember to cleanse first for the best success and feel free to email me or call me at 801-228-1901 for support.

On to Maintenance and my third HCG ezTrim Weight Loss Cycle

It was much easier to maintain my weight during stabilization, once I started adding sugar and starch I ended up having more steak days than I would like to have had. I feel like this is a real learning time for me because I have been overweight so much of my life. I need to learn to control my portion sizes better and continue to work on making favorite recipes in a healthier way. On days when there was a gain I had to think about what I did wrong the day before and buck up and do the steak day. I think steak days are as hard to do as an apple day, but it gives us time to correct the error. It is the time when I am deciding which way my weight is going, up or down. If I decide not to do a steak day, then I am choosing my old ways and the weight will come back on. Doing the steak day is taking responsibility for what I have eaten the day before that caused the gain, and giving me the opportunity to take that weight right off. Every time I have done a steak day I lost the weight that I gained. I am committed to doing the steak days and working on my portions so that I don’t need to have one. I want to be able to maintain my weight by eating correctly every day.

My kids were really excited that I could finally eat “normal” so we enjoyed eating out a few times. They would ask me, have you eaten this or that yet and I would have to say, I can’t eat it all in one day! There are lots of things that I haven’t eaten that I would like to eat at some point, when the time is right. There are some things that I really don’t need to add back into my diet, many things in fact.

I went and got my hair cut a few weeks ago by a friend that I hadn’t seen in quite some time. We looked at each other and both said almost simultaneously, “are you on HCG”? Wow, she looked great and has lost 100 lbs in the last year. She had just started a weight loss cycle and said she was going to lose the last 30 lbs. I said, even with the holidays coming up? She said yes, and that is what she did last year. It got me thinking, why am I waiting until next year?

Last weekend we had a little get away up in Park City and I started my gorging days. Boy, I hate the weight you gain on gorging days, I always gain about 4 lbs. Today being day seven of this cycle since starting the HCG ezTrim drops I have lost 8.2 lbs. My weight is now lower than where I ended when I finished my second cycle the first part of September. I have lost a total of 52.9 lbs not including the loading days which would add about 12 more pounds to that figure! I’m not sure what the number goal is, other than getting rid of the tummy. I am very excited to be able to get this all done this year, what a wonderful gift to myself!!

PS - Hollie just finished her very long 2nd cycle a few weeks ago. She has lost a total of 110 lbs this year and will get going again in mid-January after the family birthdays are celebrated. Congratulations to Hollie, and to everyone else out there that is making this big change in their lives. It is so fun to hear people’s success stories. There are a lot of thinner people out there! Thank you HCG ezTrim!

End of my second round of HCG, on to Stabilization

It has been twelve days since I finished my second cycle of weight loss phase with HCG ezTrim. I lost 24 pounds with this cycle for a total of 52 pounds since the middle of May. I never would have dreamed that I would be able to lose that much weight in a little over three months. I stayed on the drops for seven weeks this time, I was hoping to lose a few more pounds than I did but the weight loss was a bit slower at the end of this cycle. This makes me wonder if six weeks at a time is best, I certainly was ready to be done by the end of that time. I would have stayed on, but realized that three more pounds wasn’t going to put me where I want to be, so I will get back on HCG ezTrim after the first of the year to lose another 10 - 15 pounds.

It is a bit scary moving on to the stabilization phase because although you can start eating more food, you need to be very careful to not eat any sugar or starches. I find it best to eat at home, though the times I have eaten out I have stuck to the plsn. I went to a buffet with my family and was amazed that there was very little I could eat. When we make our own food we know what is in it, so no need to worry about hidden sugar, etc.

I have had one steak day and even though it was quite distressing to weigh myself and have a gain, it is nice to know that doing the steak day got me right back down to where my loss was. When that happens it is important to identify the problem food that caused the gain and not eat that again while on stabilization. During the stabilization phase is vitally important to not eat sugar or starches, because this is when the set-point is being reset to the lower weight. This is all controlled by the hypothalamus and it takes three weeks for it to reset. This is the phase where people can really mess up, so be sure to continue to be very strict with your diet after the weight loss phase.

Foods I have enjoyed adding are avocados and ranch salad dressing. Fruit smoothies, nuts and the larger variety of fruits and vegetables. As a special treat homemade ice cream using stevia as the sweetener and for me that means chocolate ice cream with un-sweetened coconut and almonds. My own little bit of almond joy heaven!! I’ve learned to have a lettuce wrap when the family is having a sandwich. When the family is eating things I can’t have I make a smoothie, eat more fruit or vegetables and I am satisfied.
