    Back at it again...

    So here is my story. I started the HCG protocol in 2011 after I heard that my sister in-law was getting injections and my mother was purchasing drops from this site. I think I did 3 rounds of HCG that year, two in the spring and one final one in the fall. My starting weight was 435 lbs and the lowest I dropped to was 275 lbs. I am 6'8" and have always been a big guy. I had never been under 300 lbs as an adult so hitting 275 was AMAZING! This was one of the only diets I have ever stuck with, even though they food wasn't the greatest and boring, I got it done. I was on a mission to not be a 40 yr old fat guy and accomplished it.

    Around the same time that I lost all the weight, my father had been in poor health and passed away. This wasn't a shock, he was sick for years but I think it contributed to what happened next. When coming off of the diet I was craving sugar and starch, to the point that I was binge eating pastries every other day. Donuts on the way home from work in the morning, breakfast sandwhiches all kinds of stuff. Over the following year I gained back 95% of my weight. Last November I hit the big 40 and of course the weight is affecting my health. Now I have high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, low testosterone and diminished sex drive because of all this.

    So...here I am again, week two of P2 and feeling good. I haven't cheated and NEED to drop all this weight.

    Thanks Sadie, 2nd week still going strong. Lost 12 lbs the first, not too shabby. Not craving sugar or starch so that is a good thing. Had a craving for hot peppers though, lol.

    Hi Mike - It's weird what our body craves when we can't have it. Anytime I'm on the diet, I crave bell peppers. Great job on your loss! Keep it up! ~ Sadie
