Reporting on VLCD days 13-17. I’ve reached 3 milestones this week. I’m officially in the 160′s, I have reached my lowest weight in 7 years, and I fit into a pair of size 10 capris! I’m trying to quit using Splenda and stick with Stevia. Still running into people who don’t say anything about my weight loss, but I’m at the point of laughing about it. It’s very amusing! My life is going great, and I thank God everyday for the blessings that he is bringing to my family and me!
I haven’t reported in a week. I’ve been hiding in self-pity. LOL. I’ve learned some lessons from dosing the hcg. I should have started on the 125 IU dosage first! Oh well, live and learn….
Here are the links that I talk about in my vlog regarding dosing HCG:

This is very good information regarding dosage. They talk about 125IU working for most people.

Mixing Solution for Sublingual Dosing:
This is a slightly different way of mixing hcg for sublingual use. They use equal parts water and alcohol, and it’s less to hold in the mouth.
