Late last night, I tried on a dress that I bought at my very skinniest, the summer before last. It fit me for about 20 minutes back then, and it doesn’t really fit now, but it DOES close! I will take a picture later and post it here, to show you that, almost two years after my first HcG shot, I’m still almost the same size.
So here’s what I’ve learned about weight loss in general: After 6 to 12 months at the new, lower weight, the body fat redistributes and guess what? You’re back in the exact same shape as you were, just smaller! Which is a good thing, actually. Your face (and for women, your boobies) fill out and you look better in all the right places. What’s funny is that most people (me included of course) regain weight so quickly that it never gets to that point. I think it’s because when you lose weight, people always tell you that you’re too thin, (that, and jealousy, of course), and that is often all we need to hear or see to start eating again. I know that my face looks better when it’s a little fuller but I made the choice that I’d rather be skinny and flabby than fat and flabby.
Now, the good news: WIth HcG, the weight that comes off, first and always, is the adipose, or bad, fat that’s not doing you any good. Your face looks thinner but not drawn, and the self-regulating property of HcG only targets that fat, and stops working when it’s all gone. And, if you’re really in great shape, with just some fat, for instance, saddlebags, HcG will target just those spots!
So here’s the dirt: In all the HcG info I’ve read and heard, no one talks about keeping the weight off, except the owner of the office which first introduced me to HcG. He told me that he eats everything he wants and never gains weight back. What he didn’t say was that he was never fat to begin with. He used the HcG to lose the extra 10 or 15 pounds that life had added to his waistline over the last 10 or 15 years, and that he was not an eater like I was.
The truth is, it’s not magic, and if you start eating like you used to, you’re gonna get fat again. Now, I never got my old appetite back, and I eat completely differently now than I used to. I rarely eat bread, unless it’s super delicious, or white potatoes or pasta, and if I eat a cookie, I usually can stop at one or maybe two, not a whole box. But that weight continues to chase me, and a few times since the initial weight loss, it’s crept back up. Uh oh, suddenly I’m back up almost ten pounds! What to do, what to do?
Back on the H (my heroin!) for a few weeks. And while I do admit that it’s a little harder after the first time, and so I wasn’t quite as strict as I had been, the weight came right off.
So go wild when you have to; it is the holidays, after all. And this year, make a New Year’s Resolution that you can really stick to!

A Year Later, A New Me –Thanks to HcG!
Filed Under hcg diet | 15 Comments
I can’t believe that it’s been a year since I started my HcG diet. And today I weighed in, STILL, at 50 pounds less than my after-binge highest. I have not updated here in a while, so you’ve only seen the beginning. Now, I have the pleasure of posting these before and after (and still, 6 months since reaching my goal) photos:
The week before I started HcG, we went on a weekend cruise. I just didn’t see the weight creeping on. Even my sexy web-woman costume couldn’t hide the blob that I had become.
Flash forward a year –
I still can’t belive this is me!
I’ve been searching, but there are far fewer photos of me from last year than there are now. Here’s me showing some skin: 
So what can I say but HcG works! And quite possibly it really does have permanent results. Just stick to the program and you too will see success!

My HcG Diet — The Numbers!
Filed Under hcg diet | Leave a Comment
Going into week three, I finally thought it would be a good idea to share my (ample) measurements, taken on day 4. I can’t believe I am posting these numbers for the word to see, but hey, no surprises when you look at me. First, a few words on video: click here.
Now, the measurements
Bust: 40 around, 46 at the biggest. Bust size, a whopping 40DD! (After being a 36B/C for like, forever.)
Waist: 41 (ARGGGHHH!)
Hips: 47
Upper arms: 15 and 14.5
Thighs: 25 and 26
The good news: more to love, more to lose. Doing well, not hungry, and starting to see and feel a little difference.
Thanks for checking in. Have a great day.

HcG Week 2, looking and feeling great
Filed Under hcg diet | Leave a Comment

not too pretty...yet
Hi there — Here’s a little video of week two. So far, so good — except I just found out that my blogging name, Flacita, which is Spanish for the Thin One, is actually spelled Flaquita, and I cannot change it. Oh well, I will not let it kill my plans! I’m down about 12 pounds already, and I am starting to measure myself. I’ll let you know the horrid truths of the numbers…and we’ll watch them go down together. Thanks for joining me!

Welcome to my HCG Diet – video 1
Filed Under hcg diet | 2 Comments
Well, end of Week One on HCG; I was up 4 pounds after the initial two-day binge (i.e. feast!) and now am back to where I started. I made this video of week one. In the future I will make them more frequent and shorter, but this tells a lot. Here’s the video link: My HcG Diet video blog – the beginning
Meanwhile, here’s a photo from the end of week one.

So whadda you think, am I thin yet?
No real progress yet, except that I’m eating healthier and staying on program easily — gee, what a concept! See you in a few days.
