I have struggled with my weight for most of my life. I guess that is a statement that a lot of us can make. I was just tired of it as an excuse, and knew that I needed to do something about it. I was tired of all the other ones that didn't seem to give me the success that keeps you motivated to keep going, and yes I have tried many of them. I had heard about the HCG diet, over a year ago, from one of my brothers and I thought that it was too good to be true, I read about it and figured that it wouldn't work for me as I didn't live close to a Dr. that supported it.

While in Arizona for a few months I came across a saying that really hit me., "I am on a 30 day diet and I have already lost 15 pounds". That seemed to be my life.  Always looking back and wondering why I couldn't stick to it and always loosing the chance to make a difference. Then Dr. Bird made it possible for me to do it on my own without having to go to a Dr.'s office all the time I felt like it was worth the try. So here I am after 2 rounds of treatments and have lost 52 lbs. I was hardly ever hungry while taking the shots. I felt motivated to keep up the diet and did not cheat. It is amazing how the shots helped to burn my fat. I have gone from a size 22-24 and am now in 14-16's. What a delight it is for me to go to the store and walk by the fat section and know that I don't wear those clothes any more. My daughter is having fun helping me dress with style. WOW what a new experience. I still have one more treatment to do to get to where I want to be but I don't worry about it anymore as I know that with the HCG diet I get the instant success and therefore have the motivation to keep going. 

Maintaining after my first round wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. With the weight loss, my body was better able to handle exercising and I now have the energy to exercise for much longer lengths of time. I am even running a bit!!  What is even greater is that I want to exercise.  Who would of thought that that I would ever feel that way.

Two of my brothers and a niece have been on this diet through Dr. Bird and now my sister and her husband are also doing it. This program has made such a difference in all of our lives.
