While you are waiting for your "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" to arrive, click on the link below to download a copy of Dr.Simeons "Pounds & Inches, A New Approach to Obesity" manuscript and read it.

When you are ordering your HCG order MORE than you think you'll need - because the places you order from tell you different #'s of drops to take and if you find yourself hungry at all, up the # of drops or cc's that you are taking as Dr.Simeons' recommends in his manuscript. You shouldn't feel hungry at all! Spring took .8cc's-1.0cc three times per day (about 2.5 ounces per round or one 2oz bottle & one 1oz bottle). Dr.Simeons recommends .5cc's to start with and gradually add .1cc per day until it feels right to you (no more than 1cc). Don't skimp on ounces when buying HCG!

This is a very TIME INTENSIVE diet and expensive at the start up (If you do what Spring did and buy all the books, stevia, George Foreman grill, scales, meats -weigh & freeze in separate bags and Grissini Breadsticks ahead of time - to last 2 months). However, starting the 2nd Round was a breeze because Spring had everything she needed! (Not as expensive or time intensive as Weight Watchers, though).

HCG update from DIY


Hello again. Alright, it's official.Our HCG manufacturer (like pretty much all others) has confirmed that they are no longer producing HCG drops.I know that many customers have already started stockpiling HCG in order to make sure they have themselves set up for the future as our current stock of HCG drops expires in 2016.

And, I do foresee this turning into a "hunt for real HCG drops" until they run out on the Internet or until it becomes absolutely illegal to sell them (which frankly could happen any day).Therefore, I think prices are most likely going to sky rocket in the VERY near future as everyone starts running out of the real HCG drops.

Our past manufacturer (and many other production plants) are going to be producing a "hormone-free" version of the HCG drops, but I don't even really know what that means as HCG is a hormone.

Unless some evidence DRAMATICALLY changes, I will not be carrying this "hormone-free" "HCG" in my business as I do not think that it is effective in weight loss like real HCG drops and I would not want to expose any of my customers to danger. (Furthermore, I would suggest that you really do your research before switching to any formula without HCG in it as you could end up on a 500 calorie diet without the help of HCG -- and that is dangerous.)

So, the HCG we have now is all that we have left.We saw an increase in orders and quantity of bottles ordered last week when the news about the FDA and HCG was first announced and we are prepared for the influx of orders that this e-mail may cause, but I really wanted to make sure you knew exactly how bad it has become and how scarce real HCG drops may be in the VERY near future.

To order from our remaining stock, visit our website or call us at 888-389-0626 Mon - Fri, 7 am - 5 pm CST.

I am so sorry to have to bring you this news as I know how much HCG has helped so many of you.We will still be offering all of the HCG safe products (food, lotion, lip balm, hygiene kits, books, tools, etc.)...just no more HCG once it is gone.

In case I don't e-mail you before then, have a very happy holiday season!

FDA has banned Homeopathic HCG

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.

Dear Customer,

The FDA announced on Dec. 6 that homeopathic HCG will be banned and should no longer be marketed. Of course, we believe that homeopathic HCG and the Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol is both safe and effective, as Pounds and Inches Away has been in business since 2007 and has helped thousands of clients who had given up on other weight loss methods. Many clients have called wondering if they could still purchase the product and the answer is ‘yes’, but for how long, we do not know. I can assure you that many past participants, employees, and family members have acquired a personal stockpile based on past results and the desire to possibly lose weight again in the future. Our current stock expires in the year 2016. As you all know, our business was based on our passion to help people lose weight rather than our passion for any particular product. In our minds, we found only one method in about 35 years that we would like to be a part of, Dr. Simeons’ HCG Protocol. Consequently, we are exploring other avenues to offer this method to both past and future clients.

A word of caution to those who purchase homeopathic HCG off the internet. Seven companies were issued letters by the FDA demanding that they stop marketing/selling homeopathic HCG. In order to get into compliance, some of these companies have replaced the HCG in their current HCG drops with a ‘new formula’ that has had the HCG eliminated. Following Dr. Simeons’ Protocol without HCG is so drastically different that we cannot comprehend a company simply ‘switching’ formulas. To embark upon a 500 calorie, or even up to 1000 calories, without quality HCG performing the function of releasing abnormal fat is unfathomable. This is being undertaken without years of testing (obviously) and can only be accepted as a substitute for the profit associated with HCG, not for the effect of the one and only HCG. Please consider carefully before switching to any method that does not include HCG as low calorie diets without effective HCG are more likely to enact starvation mode for weight loss, which actually is more likely to negatively effect your metabolism than possibly improve it as Dr. Simeons proposed after 20 years of working with the HCG Diet Protocol.

I’m going to go one step further here and ask you to help us do something about this. Please go to www.savethehcgdiet.com where you can sign a petition that says:

We, the undersigned, call on the FDA to work with experienced, credible HCG diet experts that have had hundreds or thousands of documented HCG weight loss successes since 2007 with the HCG Diet Protocol (including experience with effective homeopathic HCG, HCG injections, and other HCG methods) to test, analyze, and closely document the success or failure of the HCG diet in a fair, unbiased clinical study under the strict guidelines of Dr. Simeons' original manuscript.

If the work shows conclusive evidence of significant weight loss and overall improved health during and after the HCG diet, we request the FDA to consider classifying the HCG diet protocol as an effective weight loss method
.”

Signing this petition will only take a moment, but it will help so many people. Thank you in advance!

Best wishes this holiday season,
Pounds and Inches Away

Round 2 - VLCD - Days 1-6

Today is day 7 for me and I have lost a total of 13 pounds so far. This round is so much easier because I have everything I need. I have all my spices (sugar free), flavored liquid stevia's, stevia packets, pre-measured, packaged & frozen chicken & beef and don't forget "101 Worry - Free HCG Diet Recipe" book! (I am using drops from Pounds and Inches Away)

Some suggestions I have:
     Vary the food you eat daily, try not to eat the same things in one day. Don't eat too many oranges or Tomato's (if you stall, eliminate them for a few days).
     This round I am not eating Melba Toast or Grissini Sticks - I am eliminating them from my diet (per Kevin Trudeau's book suggestion) to see if I can get greater weightloss.
     If I have a sweet craving - I satisfy it by making a cup of unsweetened hot cocoa, I add some flavored stevia drops & milk or I make something from the cookbook (orange julius, flavored carbonated water, strawberries & creme or a pureed apple with stevia, cinnamon & warmed up) or have some hot peppermint tea.
    I make 2 gallons of green tea ahead of time. One I put lemon juice in it and the other peppermint and I put them in the refrigerator, since I get bored with water.

Vitamins I am taking while on the VCLD: Garlic, Echinacea, Flax seed, Vitamin D, Cholaplex & Neurotrophin (per my doctor).

Day 1 - Gorging! Pumpkin Donuts, Trix Cereal, Honeynut cheerios, Eggo cereal, Smorz cereal, cream soda, reeses pieces, Black Angus:Steak, potato, onion ringsx3, Salad, Chocolate cake 5 bites. 8 rolls & butter from Texas Roadhouse, whatchamacallit, mint icecream sandwich, toffee icecream bar. Vitamins.

Day 2 - Gain 1.6lbs. Gorging day 2! Black Angus leftovers & 1/2 the choco cake. Snickers bar, 12 rolls, M&M's, Soda, candy bar, ice cream bar, raspberry sherbert, Pear, raspberries, blueberries, spaghetti, salsa & chips, salad, apple juice, nachos, cream soda float. Vitamins. 800mg Ibuprofen.

Day 3 - Gain 4lbs. 500 calorie day. Took my AM vitamins. Made warm peppermint tea & green tea. Lunch: BBQ Chicken (bbq spice from pounds and inches away), Cucumber in vinegar & stevia, orange. Dinner: Taco salad (hamburger, lettuce, homemade taco seasoning & HCG Perfect portions "sweet mustard" dressing), Apple slices. PM vitamins.

Day 4 - Loss of 5.8lbs. Warm Peppermint tea. Green Tea, AM vitamins. Woke up with a killer headache verging on a migraine. Meds taken during the day: Aspirin two 81mg tablets at 7am & 10:30am; Ibuprofen 800mg at 11:26am & 12:00am. Saw my chiropractor at 3:20pm. Lunch: Shake & Bake Chicken (p.39), apple, cucumber salad (p.23). Dinner: Grandma Simeons' Chicken Soup (p.20) [2c chkn bouillion base homemade, celery, chkn]. Hot cocoa, 1T milk.

Wore lipstick, face powder & hair spray. Listened to hypnotist relaxation cd before going to bed. (Went to Weird Al Yankovic concert!)

Day 6 - Loss of 5lbs. Had the best night sleep & longest in 4 months!!!! I didn't wake up until 11am (kids woke me up when getting ready for school, but I fell BACK to sleep) I was starving. Went out to my strawberry bed and ate strawberries until I was satisfied! 12:30pm Lunch: White fish with lemon & peppercorn cooked in the George Forman Grill - YUMMY! 1:00pm Strawberries & creme (p.13). 4:15pm ate the rest of my cabbage slaw from yesterday. Dinner at 6:45pm: Tangy Tomato Soup with beef (p.21). 10:10pm blended an apple up in my magic bullet, added stevia packet & cinnamon & a little water & popped in microwave for 30 seconds - YUMMY! Took my vitamins today, 800mg Ibuprofen at 11:40am, saw my chiropractor at 3:30pm.

Almost FORGOT! I WON A PHOTO CONTEST FROM POUNDS AND INCHES AWAY AND THEY SENT ME A 1 OZ BOTTLE OF HCG, BBQ SPICE, SALAD DRESSING & A BUNCH OF OTHER GOODIES!!!

Round 1 - Wrap up

I didn't post too much about my maintence days. Life got too busy! However, at the beginning/end of each phase my body would go up & down the first week, but would level out the next week. During my last 3 weeks where I was supposed to slowly add sugar & starch, we ended up eating out alot at restaurants & buffets. I had 2 steak days, but pretty much my weight stayed within 2lbs of my ending weight.

We went on vacation in July and I did not want to bring a scale nor did I want to weigh myself everyday, I did want to eat whatever I wanted when I wanted. I told myself it would be okay if I ended up gaining ten pounds during our vacation. Our vacation included a stop at the "Sweet Shop" in Anaconda, MT, it was so yummy! Anyway, I weighed myself when we got  home - I gained 3 pounds. But by the end of the week (without dieting) I lost those 3 pounds (got back on schedule).

August was a terrible month for my body. We had lots of family visiting, more buffets & restaurants. I was stressed out (house refi & other "stuff") and not getting good sleep (we returned our sleep # bed and I have been sleeping on the couch or trying kids beds or blow up beds. Hopefully, our new mattress will be delivered this saturday!) I learned last time on the HCG diet that my body won't lose weight if I am stressed and when not on HCG it will gain. So, during one stressful week I gained 9lbs (I wasn't weighing daily), since then 5 more pounds.

So, I decided I needed to start my 2nd round of HCG asap! So, in 6 days I have lost 13 pounds. My biggest drop was 5lbs overnight and that happened to be the same night I listened to this hypnosis relaxation cd and slept the most consecutive hours and got the best sleep I have gotten in 4 months!!!

So, I am looking forward to my new mattress and hope that I will enjoy a good night's sleep from now on. I am also trying to listen to relaxation cd's before I go to bed and pre-cook some meals ahead of time so I won't stress when life gets crazy.

Melaleuca Products & HCG


I asked this question 5 months ago in an HCG discussion group & am posting the information I got back:

Discussion Board Topic: Melaleuca Personal Care Products

Spring:
Has anyone used Melaleuca products while on HCG? Toothpaste? Zap-it face wash? Body Satin Deodorant? Shampoo? Conditioner? Lip Balm? Renew lotion?
about 5 months ago

Dodi :
Hey spring. I too love Melaleuca products. While on Phase 2 I have decided to use only their toothpaste. Because they all have tea tree oil, and from what I have researched, it is not compatible with phase 2. If I am wrong, please let me know!
about 5 months ago ·

Sheri Lynn:
I too love Melaleuca products but have decided to use their deoderant and very carefully use the shampoo/conditioner. So far I am losing...6.6 lbs and I'm on P2D8VLCD. I am working an extremely stressful job and not even getting to eat all my protein/veg twice in the past week. I chose to not use any other Melaleuca products at this time. Good luck!

May 25th: Question to Pounds and Inches Away

Question: I am just starting maintenance and know I have 1 or 2 more rounds of HCG in my future to get to my goal weight, Can I continue to lose weight via exercise while in 1st 3 weeks of maintenance or will that screw things up? Everything I have read says how important it is to stay within the 2lb range either way - if your at your goal weight. But if you are 30-50lbs from it...does it matter? I am on day 41, I have lost 26.6lbs from my starting weight and 32lbs from my gorge weight on day 3. 2 weeks ago I measured and had lost 29inches. May 25 at 11:19pm 
Pounds and Inches Away Spring, It is very important to maintain your weight loss no matter what round you are on or if you haven't reached your goal weight. You still want to give your body that set point. So that it creates a new set weight. You can still work out, but eat protein and increase your calories accordingly! AND CONGRATULATIONS on your first round! That is awesome!

Question to Pounds and Inches Away

How has everyone done this week? Any questions or concerns we can help you with?May 12 at 8:08pm  
Spring Yes, for about six days I bounced back & forth between 218 & 217lbs (days 20-26), so I decided that my body was becoming immune to the HCG drops, and quit taking the hcg while doing 3 days of 500 calories, today is my first maintenance day,... but I read in Linda's book today that there were other things (p.52) that I could have tried to get past the 217 mark (today I weighed 213.8)...So, my question is: CAN I GO BACK ON THE HCG AND FINISH MY 40 DAYS? or do I just need to start maintenance? (I have 36 more pounds to lose, I have lost 22.6lbs from my starting weight and 28lbs from my gorge weight).May 13 at 9:16am
Pounds and Inches Away We are so sorry for the delay. Yes, you can go back on the drops. Do not gorge again, just finish your days out. So if you stopped on day 26 then do the drops for 14 more days. Do you have any questions about the plateau breakers? Your weight loss is great! Congrats on all the hard work! May 15 at 4:05pm 
Spring So, I just read your response and I have been 4 days on "maintenance", can I still go back on HCG drops or should I just do maintenance and do a 2nd round in 6 weeks? Since, i stopped HCG I've gone down to 213.8, up to 215, down to 214...May 16 at 3:08pm 
Pounds and Inches Away You can go back on the drops. This is what we would call a planned break. And you can do a planned break for about a week. So do as I said above. Don't gorge again, just go back to the drops and eating VLC and finish out your 40 days. Keep us posted! May 17 at 7:08am ·

Spring  Thank you! May 17 at 8:01am

Skipped the starch.

For Dinner: Chicken, Apple, Celery. No starch.

My notes for the day:
I haven’t had heartburn since day 3 (I have been taking Calmacid-Melaleuca’s version of tum’s for almost 4 years now on a nightly basis).

I haven’t had “extreme itching” of my legs that I get about once a week…and I haven’t put a drop of lotion on my body in 11 days!

Lip dryness: If I start getting dry or chapped lips throughout the day – I drink more water and that makes the dryness go away. I have on previous occasion dabbed some mineral oil on them with a q-tip. Dr. Simeons said that was ok – but reading Kevin Trudeau’s book says to stay away from mineral oil…

Stress: My body reacts to stress physically and the stress from Saturday has caused my back to hurt horribly today (Right scapula down to lower back and across to left side….it got worse throughout the day – icing and heat didn’t seem to help a whole lot). Sunday, I had the typical back ache “residue” from stress, but I was able to do a lot (maybe over did it).

Seriously Behind on Updates!

As you can see from the pictures above I am now in the maintenance phase, day 4. I have typed up all of my notes from "My HCG Tracker" and just need to start posting them, to catch up to current day. I got my pictures done tonight to enter the contest at Pounds and Inches Away.com.

5.27.2011

Day 10 ~ April 24, 2011 (Easter Sunday)

I have Lost 1.2 lbs since yesterday for a total of 12.4 lbs lost from starting weight. If you count the weight lost from the 5.4lbs I gained during the 2 gorge days…then I’ve lost 17.8 lbs…but I am only really counting the weight lost from starting weight. My starting weight: 236.4 lbs, Today’s weight: 224 lbs.

Since the gorge days I’ve been losing on an average of 2.2 lbs per day, but the last 2 days it’s been only 1.2 lbs lost per day.

Here are some things that may have affected my weight loss - meaning if I hadn’t done them-maybe I would have lost 2.2lbs instead of 1.2lbs:

Beef: I’ve eaten 93% fat-free hamburger 3x’s in 7 days and Steak 2x’s in the same week. Dr. S says beef should be eaten 2-3x’s per week max. Also, on Friday I was cutting fat off the steaks for kabobs and handling it w/o gloves.

Garlic flavored Melba Rounds: didn’t read the nutrition label when I bought them…but I did on Thursday and found out they have 1 gram of sugar in them – no wonder they are sooo delicious.

Lotion: Put some Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream above Grayson’s lip & grabbed fingernail clippers that had it all over them for some reason…it took a couple hand washings and I still had some residue on my hands.

Make-up: Mineral powder foundation is supposed to be ok, so I put some on my face on Friday, but then I also put on some eye shadow, eyeliner, Mary Kay Lipstick and for the first time tried putting on fake eyelashes – with the glue they provide.

Tuna-We had white canned tuna in water for lunch yesterday. Dr.S says no to Tuna, but Linda Prinster thought that was because it used to be packaged in oil back in his time. The “My HCG Tracker” by Tiffany Prinster (Linda’s sister & business partner), has tuna as an option. However, when I also looked it up (after eating it of course) in the “HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide” by Linda Prinster (3rd Revison). It says No on the 500 calorie diet to Tuna (slipjack, yellowfin), Tuna (white, canned in water). So, my question is: Is there other kinds of canned tuna?

Stress: Been under some stress the last few days courtesy of the ex-husband. I’m not one of those people to lose weight during stress…I’m a gainer…but staying away from chocolate probably helps J (I substitute now with unsweetened cocoa in hot water with 1 packet stevia & ½ T of milk)

Things I’ve been doing right: Varying my meals, fruits & veggies daily (Not eating 2 of the same thing in one day). Drinking water. When I feel my lips getting dried out, I start drinking more water…then they feel better.

HAPPY EASTER!
