It's now July 2009, and I'm ready to do HCG for a second time. I'm excited! After the last time, I maintained at about 129 lbs for quite a while... then I went home for Christmas and gained a pound or two, and then I maintained that, but i didn't bother to take it back off. But since I committed to doing this again, I've gained abother 5 pounds! I suspect that some of this is bloat, but still, that's a LOT. My cute little "skinny jeans" are tight! And my body feels uncomfortable.
I had an epiphany last week. I was handing a 15 lb weight to a client, and i thought "This is heavy; I've been carrying this around on my body and I don't want to be!" and then I thought about how many people carry a LOT of extra pounds around, and how tiring that is and how it really weighs people down, physically and emotionally. So to really drive my success home, every time i lose a few pounds I'll pick up the weight in the gym and carry it around for a few minutes, then I'll put it down and enjoy how much better it feels :)
About Me
- Alysia
- I'm a 33 year old Australian living in Orange County CA. I'm happily married and LOVE my life. My work is really fun - helping people change their lives is as fulfilling as it gets! I'm basically a personal trainer, but I specialize in working with people to help fix their posture and stop their backs from hurting. I also teach Kettlebells - a rigorous workout, tougher than any bootcamp! My struggle is keeping slim, even though I work out more often than not, and I run (sometimes stairs, sometimes miles). I eat well most of the time too. I think I ruined my metabolism with anorexia almost 10 years ago. I recovered quickly emotionally, but my body isn't co-operating. I gain weight in a week and it takes MONTHS to get it back off. So I'm doing this program with Dr Purcell to re-set my metabolism and use my experience to help others. **Go to the "What is Medical Weight Loss?" post for an overview of the program.**

Can I ask you if it's expensive. I have a call into Dr. Purcell and wanted to know the cost of this. It sounds like a rigid plan and am a little intimidated.
Thanks and congrats on your weight loss! I read about your journey and it's inspired me to get my lean body back!
