HCG Trick - Use Ice Water to Boost your Releases!

[bridget641]

You look great!! Did you exercise while you were on HCG P2?

[loseit4ever]

@bridget641 Hi and thank you! During my first rounds I didn't exercise. Once my body was use to an exercise routine I started during P3 then I was able to be on P2 and walk the treadmill and lift light arm weights and still had releases without a problem.

Agree about the ice water . Look at your little cutie ! We have the same taste in pups.

[loseit4ever]

@DittosChi - Thank you very much for your kind words.

Great information on the couple Vlogs of yours I watched.. which HCG DID you use? Homeopathic,Rx,etc? I'm sure you talked about it in older videos but i haven't got there yet..LOL

[loseit4ever]

@674TML674 - I have always been an injection girl =)

[39thejust1]

OMG - I wanna be that dog so badly (just so I get to be on your lap)!!!

[vir99]

You are fun to watch! Subbed!

[justgranny45]

Amazing! Body shots, amazing! Your zest for life, amazing! The fact that a teen is impressed and jealous of you? Amazing!!! You have totally transformed your body and shape and should be VERY proud of that! I'm looking SO forward to your vlogs about what you eat to maintain!! Hugs :)

[loseit4ever]

@justgranny45 - I Thank you so much for the encouragement! I think what i need to do is take a picture each day of my meals and then compile the pictures for the vlog. I don't want to make food as an example and have it just sit around. Hopefully I can get on the ball and get that done this week =)

[lakegirl645]

[twinma0454]

What brand jeans are they?



[loseit4ever]

@twinma0454 -Miss Me ;)

[iHEARTGG4s]

I have the same kind of scale as well. It's the WW scale...

[loseit4ever]

@iHEARTGG4s - Thanks for your support! I love that scale!!

[iHEARTGG4s]

Yes the ice water thing is absolutely correct! I do this all day. Great tip!

[lisabyx]

Colleen, I LOVE your jeans! I was wondering why is it that after still losing 30lbs on my first round, I only feel I wear smaller jeans (Size 6), 130lbs, 4'11 and I do not feel THAT much happier? How do you get to feeling better about yourself and changing the inner part? I want to LOVE myself but I am not there at all ... of course, I still plan to do another round when the kids get back to school in Aug for another 15 lbs to get to my goal.

[loseit4ever]

@lisabyx - it is a process that is for sure, 2 days in a row I felt kind of yucky about myself. As I was driving to work I thought " hey I need to keep a better mental picture of where I started from. Also the days when you are able to do something easier or wear something you couldn't before helps.I think you should treat yourself to something for your hard work.One day while on a round the office was eating junk food. I ran to Victoria secret w coupon an bought a bra I couldn't fit in before

[besthersan]

grate analogy about the fat vs muscle balance scale. I'll remember that forever!!!!

[loseit4ever]

@besthersan - it sure helps keep me sane ;)

[seattlesuzie]

love your vlogs colleen !!! looking forward to the next.. i can't drink cold stuff.. just makes my mouth and teeth hurt..( unless it is a margarita **sigh...LOL)

suzie

[loseit4ever]

@seattlesuzie - Don't hate me for this "tip" - if you do margaritas, use 2 lemons (juiced) and 4 squirts of lemon drop stevia the rest is 32 oz water - YUM - Skinny margarita! - LOL I understand the "cold" thing. I'm not even on HCG and felt SO COLD drinking the water - it was uncomfortable ( but I did do it ;)

[seattlesuzie]

@loseit4ever ..oh no it's a great tip.. and my margarita and chip days are over till i am at goal ( it will be my treat to my self!!) love the idea of the lemon stevia ... yum that does sound good.

thanks colleen !!

I've never heard of the size 25 thing but you look great! Great job maintaining! :)

[loseit4ever]

@greenbaypack66 - back in the day when jean sizes said 31 or whatever I would move on because i didn't understand it either so you are not alone. When I googled size 25 it is basically size 1. I don't get that either. Wrapping my head around that is CRAZY!!!!! Usually when I was in "20" sizes it meant Plus+ sizes. That I understood and didn't like. What a wild journey this has been!!! =) thank you for your comment, it means so much!!

[littlerMEwithHCG]

Wow not in my wildest dreams would I be a 25... I was a 26!!!! LOL but that's another story!!!! Congrats on the new jeans... I love the bling thingy. I think when I was heavier I never wanted bling or anything because I didn't want to draw attention... now I'm thinking I would like more bling!!! LOL

[loseit4ever]

@littlerMEwithHCG - Thanks and YES the mind set completely changes! I really LOVE being able to wear stuff I thought was never possible! Everything I was wearing when I was heavy wasn't "me" but knew that was all I could wear. I hated the feeling of being trapped in a body that in my mind I felt wasn't my "style". Does that make sense??? All I know is I feel like I am no longer trapped and that is a very good feeling! Your support and comment means so very much-thx!!!

[Juju4God]

I just love Joy Joy-so beautiful--It is great to see you and your doing soooo amazing--Yayyyyyy you--love the jeans--toooooo cute--size 25-so so happy for you--that is very interesting about the ice water--will be doing that from now on--like it better anyway--great info as always--thank you so much for sharing--yes Joy has been sooo good--I"m sure that made you feel good to have someone complimented you by saying that about your body--you do look so beautiful-Blessings and Hugs

[loseit4ever]

@Juju4God - Bless you! I appreciate so much your support and encouragement . You are always so very sweet!!!

[MichelleBrown2010]

Thanks SO much, as always, for sharing the info. I can't wait until I'm finally at the size where I can REALLY shop in Forever 21 instead of gazing and wishing, and being defensive as to my presence in the store! The jeans look great! And JoyJoy is a GOOD girl! I enjoy her as co-host!

[loseit4ever]

@MichelleBrown2010 - You will have your day to SHINE my dear!!! I remember that very same feeling about stores I wished I could shop at. The store I got the jeans was one of them! That is why it ALL seems so surreal to me, like a dream!Joy Joy says "Hi" ;)

[Sourpusscandy]

thanks for the tips Colleen.... 

[loseit4ever]

@Sourpusscandy I really appreciate your support. You are always so very helpful!! =)

[2b2bd]

Thanks for the great info but its kind of hard listening with the dog constantly panting :)

[loseit4ever]

@2b2bd - I'm sorry I didn't realize that, I was just so thankful she didn't have one of her coughing episodes . People ask to see her so I try to include her when I can.

[Lizardking89squeen]

Thanks for letting us know how you are doing!! And for the water info. Bless you!

[loseit4ever]

@Lizardking89squeen - Thank you so much! Please let me know how the water trick works for you =)

[mjuner33]

It's great to see a vlog from you again. Hi Joy! So funny! My hubby hates to feel bones also and keeps telling me not to get too skinny even though I am far from that! I never heard about ice water boosting releases! Wow! And all this time I have been making sure my water is room temp! Thanks for this. Always love the information you put out there.

[loseit4ever]

@mjuner33 - Thanks!Our hubbys sound exactly the same - lol. As soon as I read about the water trick it hit me "oh yeah that's right". I had first heard of the theory from 2 scientists that explained Thermogenesis in the early 90's. Well that is when I heard the theory.The only thing is, it makes me feel SO cold so easy! And I'm not even on HCG-yikes

[lrsmom]

That's so awesome that you are maintaining! My husband says the same thing about not wanting to feel bones. haha. When I finished up in May I was swimming in my jeans so my 20yo daughter took me shopping for some Miss Me jeans. They are so cute and much more fun to wear than my old "mom jeans". I'm at 120 and wearing a size 27 so you are really tiny to be in a 25.

[loseit4ever]

@lrsmom - send me a pic with you in the jeans,Or let me know if you vlog in them. I bet you look great! I want to see which style you got ( they are all so cute). The style I'm trying to track down are called "crosses and peace signs" That is So Me (wink)
