"Hi Donna, I just wanted to update you on how I'm doing.  I just finished up a 3 week round of sub-lingual HCG.  My ending weight is 155.2.  I'm feeling great.  My hormones feel balanced and I'm sleeping soundly and doing well there.  I'm exercising regularly, eating consciously and looking great in my clothes.  Interestingly enough my basal temperature is starting to come up, too.  It was hovering around 97.5 and it is now more in the height 97.7 and above.  I'm surprised that my skin is not as droopy as I would it expect in places where I've lost a lot of body mass....thighs, tummy, back and under arms.  It's like I feed my body what it needs and it just knows what to do.  I'm sure staying active is a large part of my success.  
 
So from where I started in January 2011, 211 pounds, that's 56 pound off.  I was wearing 2X plus size 22-24.  Now I'm in a loose-fitting size 12.  But most of all I think I'm healthier than I've been in years.
 
My family doctor still thinks I should get down another 10 pounds.  But to tell you the truth, I don't have much faith in the charts that they traditionally use.  I'm always about 10-20 pounds heavier by that standard.  I think I have a more athletic build and larger more dense bones than average woman.  My ancestors were hearty farming people.
My goals for the coming months are to go on my trip to Italy and try do enjoy myself as much as possible while being sensible at the same time.  That trip is closely followed up by the holidays.  This will be interesting to see how I can navigate through all the parties.  My tact will be to keep aware of what I'm doing by keeping up with my food journal and staying active.  I think I will be OK if I just stay conscious and don't start eating mindlessly.  When January hits, I want to be moving on to the next challenge and not trying to gain back lost progress.  By my birthday in February, I want to look at myself in the mirror and say, "You did it girl.  You maintained your weight."
 
Like you say, Donna.  I just want to live in my own skin for a while.  Then in the spring or summer if I feel like it, I might try to lose that last few pounds with another round of HCG.  But who knows, it might come off just with my new sensible way of living.
 
Thanks for all that you do to help us.  I've felt very supported through this entire process."  - TM, Arizona

"Dear Caroline & Donna, Before I get too far into my day, I wanted to say Thank You! "When the student is ready the teacher will appear."  Well I have been a successful student with your guidance!  Caroline... getting the candida under control is a huge component of that success.  Donna... took the foundation you laid and built on that for a loss of 22.8#'s as of this morning with one more day in Phase 1 of the HCG protocol.  I'm truly grateful to both of you for what I have learned in the past 4 months and the physical transformation of my body, mind and spirit ~~ Thank You! With a Grateful Heart & a New & Improved Lighter Body." - KC, Illinois

"Hi, Donna, I am sending my first HCG program charts to you, per your request.  I am happy to report that I am noticing surprising progress both in weight and even measurements already!  I wear a knee brace when I am working and on my feet at home as I have lost the cartilage in one knee and 50% in the other knee.  Last evening when preparing dinner, my knee brace fell down my leg.  I thought I had not attached the straps correctly.  However, when I tightened the thigh strap, I had to move it over by one inch.  Today, when updating my measurement chart, I noticed I had lost one inch around my thigh, and two inches around my waist.  What an incredible incentive to keep moving forward and not deviate even slightly from the diet perimeters!  Thank you for your helpful information and your patience with my questions.  You are a valuable resource as well as a coach!  Thank you for sending the article on fruit and vegetable wash.  Where do you get food grade hydrogen peroxide? I hope you have an enjoyable weekend, Donna." -SP, Washington

"Hi Donna, The weight is still falling off....  I wanted to also tell you that one of the best 'side effects' to you program is:  I am 42 and have not one wrinkle and I still have my boobs!  You can quote me on that, as long as you don't use my last name.  haha - Have a great day."  -LVT, California

"Hi Donna, I just wanted to let you know that I am finishing my second round of HCG (1 more week to go) and I reached the 50 pound loss yesterday. It feels so incredible to fit into clothes I haven't been able to wear, to toss out others and to buy new ones for my much slimmer body.  I am persevering, motivated by the energy, by the compliments....it feels wonderful. Thanks for your program!" - ML, Canada

"Dear Donna, I want to thank you for your weight loss program.  When I started your program, I weighed 147lbs.  (I couldn't seem to lose weight even though my diet was so strict and I exercised so much.)  Lately I have been enjoying my new weight of 132 lbs!!!  I cannot thank you enough for helping me get to this point!  Gratefully," - CT, Texas

"Donna, I wanted to tell you thank you for such a fantastic program!  It truly is one of my all time best, favorite purchases ever!  Right up there with cars and houses.  You make everything so simple and easy to follow.  As an educator, I could tell that you have done years of research on your program and it shows.  To date, I have lost 45 pounds over the past 4 months.  My head is clear and I have my energy back!  Most Gratefully," - LVT, California

"Just wanted you to know that today was my final weigh-in after the HCG protocol and just before Phase 2. I have lost 33 pounds since Jan 4 Wow! There's still more to go and I am so optimistic that I can get to a reasonable weight and feel even better. I'm probably looking at 2 more HCG sessions between now and early fall.  As I head to the Bahamas for spring break, feeling healthy and able to wear clothes I haven't worn in a few years ( and buying a new bathing suit), I am so very grateful. My new motto is "The scale is my friend." : )) Thanks so much!!"  -ML, Canada 

"My blood sugar is pretty close to normal, and I'm not having too many dips anymore.  I'm very pleased with the program...thank you so much!  I'm now at the weight I was in my mid 20's (I was 55 on Feb 29th).  I love the changes I see and feel in my body and in my mind/heart.  It's a whole new world...and I intend to LIVE every minute of it. I cannot thank you enough."  -CS, Washington 2011

"I also wanted to thank you again for always being available to encourage me, provide me information, assure me, etc. along this journey.  And it has definitely been a journey, of inner commitment and stick-to-it-ness, and self care, in spite of my occasional bouts of losing confidence.  You have been very patient and caring.  I appreciate it more than words can express." - PB, Kentucky 

"Thank you so very much. I could not have done this without you.  I appreciate so much that you have really been there for me.  I will be very happy to recommend you. Your new friend" - CG, Florida

"I love getting your daily emails and love the recipes because they came when I needed them.  You were always available when I needed you without any hesitation.  I truly enjoyed working with you and feel you were there for me whenever I needed you.  I also think that a coach is necessary for this process because it makes you accountable to keep with the program.  Overall, I think it was fantastic.  Thanks." - ES, Florida

"Thanks for all the answers to my questions and all the information you sent.  It helped me de-stress before the stress!   Thank you for all your kindness and wonderful messages of encouragement throughout this whole process." - NF, New Jersey

"Thanks sooooooooooooo much for providing me with the chance to lose so much weight!!"  - CT, Texas 2011

"Donna was a great coach and I felt great throughout the program. You eat natural foods that you buy at the store, no need to buy special products, no outrageous exercise program, just moderate exercise that is very doable, and instructions that are easy to follow. This program is something I believe I can follow for a lifetime as I learn about what's best for my body's nutritional welfare. I do not intend to gain back the weight again which has been the case with each of the weight loss programs I have been on in the past. I am so tired of the yo yo and now I know that part of my life is over. I can be balanced and happy.  Donna gave me the help I needed and now I can take it from here on my own. Thank you very much!" - R, Arizona 2011

"Thank-you for your encouraging note the other day. This weight loss is amazing and motivating." - ML, Canada 2011

"Donna, My gratitude to you has no limit. I know that with your help I will achieve my final goal when I start the protocol again. I had tried so many diet programs for years and had no success. I was suffering from depression because of my weight problem. I just want you to know you have saved me from many future health problems. On my first protocol, I lost a total of 30 pounds in 40 days. I lost 5.5 inches from my waist. I look great even when I have to lose another 15 pounds. I feel very healthy and energetic. Thank you for your beautiful emails and support. All your effort to help me will be greatly appreciated forever." —JC, Bellingham, WA 2010

“I have been on dozens of different weight-loss programs over the years and found your hcg program to be the easiest and fastest I have ever tried. Donna you are a great coach. I felt great throughout the program, ate natural foods that I bought at the store. No special products, no outrageous exercise program. Your instructions, your manual and daily emails were easy to follow and informative. Your educational information is something I can follow for a lifetime. I will not be gaining the weight again now that I am educated. No more yo-yo dieting. That part of my life is over. I am balanced and happy. You gave me the help I needed.” —RS, Tempe, AZ 2010

“Donna - Your information and practical help is what carried me through. I loved knowing that i would hear from you each night and that i could then reread your message the next day. Since we are not talking about our "eating plan" to our friends it was vital for me to have you close to confide in and share my thoughts. Your patience was stretched with me, I am sure! I am sitting here today a new woman. I have my hope back and know for sure I will finish my journey to my goal. I now have the tools to maintain this new weight as I achieve it today and beyond.” —SR, Kansas, 2009

“Good Morning, Donna: Drinking my coffee with cream, and in heaven. My weight this morning was 131. Just as a matter of interest, I have one of those fat scales: my percent body fat went from 32% to 22% during Phase 1.”
— Linda A, New York, September 4, 2009.

“Hi Donna - I love this phase! I eat when I'm hungry, I eat more if I'm still hungry, I eat again if I'm hungry later on, and my weight stays the same. I wouldn't think of cheating. I have no desire to cheat because I'm satisfied.”
—Linda, New York September 10, 2009

“HI Donna, I have another benefit report for you. I make a point of giving blood every couple of months. My cholesterol at the end of May, before HCG, was 186. On the next dontation, my cholesterol was at 135!! That was incredible. I haven't seen it that low since I started giving blood on a regular basis. I have given 17 pints thus far. This hCG diet is the bomb, baby!! I am down another half pound this morning. There was no movement over the weekend. I'm at 152.5. I'm hoping I see the 140s by the end of phase I. One of my co-workers came up to me today and asked if I have lost weight. That was a great feeling. I also had several people ask at a cookout we went to on Saturday as well as them saying I looked great, younger and a lot different. My head was spinning. I did not cheat at the cookout. I ate dinner before going and took some apple slices and a rye cracker with me. I drank lots of water. I made it through another challenge. Whew. I am becoming a cheerleader for HCG.” —Sharon, Florida

“OMG I'm losing so much weight, and FAST. It has been only six days and we can see a huge difference. I had bought clothes that were too small on purpose. (I can't ever pass on a sale at banana republic.) I thought that maybe by the end of 6 weeks I would be able to fit into them but it's only been one week and I just wore a new outfit today. My wife can't wait to start and I'm excited for her to be the same size as when we stated dating.” —Ryan M.

“Just got on scale today and am down to 185. So I've lost 3 more pounds, which means I've lost 20 lbs so far.... I'm so excited!, I feel great, lots of energy, am losing inches, getting into clothes I have had in the back of my closet for years. Husband is complimenting me on how good I'm looking and gals at work are noticing too. Thanks for all your help!” — Diane O.

“My husband and I have tried several forms of hCG from injections to oral sublingual methods. We must say that your Oral hCG Spray has got to be the most remarkable method we have ever tried. From the very first spray we noticed a complete difference from any other method. We experienced lack of hunger, more energy, a very consistent, pleasant mood and mental clarity. Combining this method with following the diet protocol has made losing weight a delight. Within 10 days my husband lost 14 pounds and I lost 9-1/2 pounds all without hunger. In addition, the non-invasive method of the spray is very convenient, as we travel for our business, and carrying it through airports has not been a chore. Previously, when we have had to travel with hCG injections, we were often stopped at check-in with our injection serum and delayed many times. We were even questioned when we showed proof with our prescription from a physician to carry the serum. The spray method alleviates any anxiety about flying or the refrigeration that is sometimes needed. We want to thank you and your team for developing such an incredible product that has proven to be better than any of our expectations. We hope that individuals who are in need of weight loss utilize this method and the benefits that accompany it.” —Carmen L.

“I too have tried injectable hCG and find this sublingual program so much better. I lost 25 pounds in 33 days on the injectable hCG and was hungry. I lost 20 pounds in 21 days on the sublingual with no hunger. No refrigeration was required. It isn't as sensitive as the injectable and it is non-invasive to the body (no injecting, no needles). I highly recommend homeopathic sublingual HCG. Thank you.” —DA
