Our weight adventure

Bob got under his plateau yesterday. He is doing well, but cheated a little yesterday and didn't loose anything. He is 3lbs under his the weight he has not been able to break

We are using HCG. It was discovered by Dr. Simmeons in the 40s and it is a hormone. It is called HCG for short; the full name being Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. But I will get into that later on.

He discovered there are three kinds of fat. Structural fat, the kind that protects your body, like the fat around your kidneys. It is also like a packing fat. It is, in Dr. Simmeons' words, "stuffed in around your organs." The second type of fat, is a reserve fat used for fuel. It is just what it sounds like. You store and use this fat when you need it. Our ancestors had this kind of fat stored up from the times of plenty for the lean times.

Now, he also discovered a third kind of fat on obese patients. This kind of fat was "abnormal" in his words. True, it was a potential reserve of fuel for the body, but it was locked away and unavailable. When they tried to loose, they burned the second kind of fat first, then structural, and lastly the abnormal fat.

If I understand Dr. Simmeons in conjunction with modern findings, I understand why it becomes harder to lose weight each time you diet. You lower your ability to metabolize, and make the lock to the abnormal fat harder to pick, so to speak. Part of the problem is the structural fat has been shown to be a fuel burning fat. In other words, the structural fat burns fat. Each time you diet, you lose some of that fat. Now your body believes it is in dire need of that abnormal fat.

So how do you make your body burn that fat? Enter HCG. It is a hormone your body produces when you are pregnant to make you burn fuel fat first. That is why when I had 24 hour a day morning sickness for 6+months, I lost weight, and had a healthy baby 3 times. The only difference is the homeopathic dose we are taking is much lower than what my body would produce. It is also great for naturally tightening the skin. No loose crepe paper skin after HCG.

I am giving Bob a few more days before we start posting his weight and pictures, and a couple of weeks for me. I will be restarting the process tomorrow.

Weighty Matters

So here I am about the weight again. I did mess myself up, and had a false start on the Simmeons Protocol. My husband, Bob is doing well. He has lost 9lbs in 7 days. Not bad at all when you consider that 2 of them were gorge days. Yes, gorge days. He stuffed himself silly. I get to redo this too. I am debating whether I should start as early as Sat, or whether my body needs a few more days to adjust to the new thyroid hormone.

He has never, in the last 10 years ever made past the point he is at today. I won't post his weight yet, if he continues as is, I will post his weight along with pictures. I will also post where you can go to get more information on the Simmeons Protocol and HCG.

Weight issues

Weight is my bane, and it is, quite frankly, killing me. I was an undiagnosed hypo-thyroid sufferer for years. Three times I endured undiagnosed postpartum induced hypothyroid. I gained 30lbs with each pregnency. Long story-short. I gained over 100lbs, and feel like I am suffocating.

Forget what you read in the MD's offices about true hypo-thyroid people only gaining 10lbs. I have been on the blog, and web support sites and have read way too many post from people like me. Dr. Mark Hyman also reinforced our experiences in his books.

So I did something drastic, and I will be letting you all know about it. I got on HCG. Now I tried this once before, with injections in belly fat. It worked really well until someone dropped it out of the fridge and it got warm. That made it loose it's potency. I just didn't have the money to do it again. But I found a homeopathic version that can be used in drops absorbed under the tongue. I may have to restart the thing, because I messed up at the beginning.

Tomorrow if I have not started the weight loss process, I will go off of it for a few days and retry it.
