Aftermath...

Ok here is the damage... 

I am 5'8 and a half.
I weighed 152.5 when I finished HCG the first time.
I weighed 154 the morning I found out I was Pregnant.

Everyone in my family gained around 50 lbs when they were pregnant. That scared me to death. 
We sell a diet product... I can't be confused as the BIG RED BARN!
Thankfully, I weighed the day before I gave birth and...

26 lbs would be the MAGIC number!

I WAS AT 180...

THRILLED, I thought I would have a 7lb. baby and at least another 5-7 of other stuff :)
I thought I would come home and have somewhere around 10-15 to lose. 
I was planning to breastfeed, and everyone said that just makes the weight fall off....
But I knew I would eat healthy and it would be now prob. Right back to normal in days.
HA...

Needless to say I came home didn't weigh the first week I was really swollen from all the meds and stuff.
I got on the scale and to my amazement I had only lost 5lbs.

I WAS AT 175...

Yes I know she was a 7 lb baby! Makes no sense.
 But I was so in love with her it made no difference to me. I knew that it would come off.

I did start losing slowly. 
WEEK 4 post baby

 I WAS AT 168...

My milk supply started going down, so I had to start eating a lot more and eating creamy things.
It didn't help much, at 6 weeks they switched her to formula. She wasn't getting enough food.

I weighed the next morning 
I WAS BACK AT 174...

I decided to get this going it was TIME...
BRING ON THE HCG!

Not to mention that pregnancy really changes your body and I have some stored fat in some no good places. We will see....

The History...

Nick, my Husband, and I started an HCG company over a year ago after our astonishing results with the diet. 
I was just amazed... I have done it all...
Atkins
Weight Watchers
South Beach
Detoxing Diets
3 Day Diet (I know laugh it was a Fav!)
Cabbage Soup Diet
Metabolic
And last but not least...
EVERY DIET PILL THERE EVER WAS!!!! 

I admit I was a diet junky...
I have really always been on and off diets. I have never been extremely overweight, but I would be if I was'nt always doing one of these. I was on Weight Watchers I think starting in 8th or 9th grade. I had a girl ask me one time when I was a Jr in HS why I was always on a diet because I wasn't fat... I answered I would be if I wasn't on a diet. It sounds crazy. It was a battle I never wanted to fight if it got out of hand, so I knew I always had to watch it. Being naturally thin was not the genes I got! 

When Nick and I first started dating he looked at my book shelf and started laughing because I owned ever diet book ever written!

With PRIDE I can say I have thrown them all out!
After I completed the HCG diet I had lost 17 Lbs in 23 days... It was simple and SO fast.
I didn't have any hunger pangs, jitters, or CRAZY moodiness.
Anyone that has dieted before knows ALL about these!!!

I really believe the HCG Diet is...
THE WEIGHT LOSS cure.

In 3 weeks I was a size 6. I hadn't seen that number since 9th grade (on Weight Watchers)
I kept it off every bit and I was eating normal...
DID you hear me... 
ACTUALLY EATING
 cake balls I had made for a tailgate and NOT gaining any weight!

HOOORAY for HCG!!!!

then... I GOT PREGNANT 4 months LATER...
