hi all! just started my hcg diet for the third time. I,m starting my 1rst load day today, I guess I wanted to post my situation in the look for a little support. I.m quite confussed, and discouraged because this is my third time I start my diet. In february I started and dis awsome! so I know it works, I lost 25 lbs in six weeks, I know it doesn.t seem like much, but I really felt great, happy and motivated.

I kept my weight off until now, nine months later, and I gained 6 lbs. so I decided to do the drops again,.... The thing is that I did try the diet again like three months ago, and cheated, and failed. (I gained 3 lbs that time) but now I have 6 more pounds!!! don't want to gain anynmmore~ AND I still have to loose like 15 more pounds.

so anyway, perhaps with a little motivation and confort from the forum, I'll be able to make it... Has anyone tryed, and tryed again, with failure, and tryed again>???? If that's the case, well ,,,, welcome to the club. thanks for reading.

Hi and welcome! Good luck to you! You are not alone and you aren't the only one who has gained some weight back. Don't beat yourself up for adding a few pounds. Try and go back and analyze why. This way maybe you can avoid it again. You did great losing 25 pounds. I wouldn't say that isn't much! Are you an emotional eater? Did you do the maintenance phase properly? Do you have a lot of stress in your life? Did you have stress when you tried the round you didn't complete? Sometimes we think we are prepared and because of external sources in our lives we are successful. It's easy to look down on yourself for that. It may just not have been the right time. I tried to start a round and completely failed. When I looked back on it, I had some issues in my personal life that were very stressful. I thought later why would I ever try and start a round while going through this! I know we all have stress in our lives, but at times it is greater. We are all here for you. Keep moving forward. Stay in touch! We will all support you. You can and will be successful on this!!

Good luck be blessed!

Thank you so much for your kind words, actually, you helped me realize that I do have a lot of stress in my life right now.... I just lost my stepfather who raised me and was like a father to me, and my mom is fighting colon cancer. I don't mean to come and load all my problems and and start making a big deal of all I have in my mind right now, but you definitely made me stop and think about other issues that made me fail. But.... I feel better today, I started my diet fine, I don't have headaches or dizziness, like last time.. and thank God I'm not hungry.

I was a little concerned about the idea of starting a third bottle of drops, because of the immunity issue. But I don't want to stress over that...

Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words
