30+ Yr Old Mom & Wife, 2 Kids, ATLANTA--- READY to Get My Sexy Back! - Atlanta, GA

**THIS IS THE START OF MY WEIGHT LOSS/ TUMMY TUCK JOURNEY*

Hello All,

I'm fairly new to the RS Community. So happy that I found it! It's great to read other ppls journey and gain knowledge. Been thinking about starting a review for a while now. Hopefully I do it right! LOL
Well I'm married, 2 kids and I am really ready to lose weight and sculpt my body!


Here's the thing... last year I hired a VERY popular Celeb trainer and lost 50 lbs via his program. I paid nearly $3000 working out with him. I was about 10-15lbs short of my final goal and he kicked me out of his program! Like a blow to the stomach, out of no where! All because I was 4 days late paying him? Recall I'd paid this s*umbag... nearly $3000 and he kicked me out of his program for being 4 days late on a $150 payment!! Seriously? Who does that to a paying client? How unprofessional! The reason I was late paying was because I'd just gotten back into town from a wedding I attended out of state and I kept forgetting to pay his invoice online. I was jet lagged and adjusting back to the Eastern timezone, kids, work, etc. It kept slipping my mind. smh. I texted him my apologizes and told give me 2 hrs after a meeting at work and I'd log online and pay the $150 paypal invoice, but instead he texted me a disrespectful mssge and he booted me. Smh. Cold and F*cked up right? Anyway, fast forward... I tried to continue working out consistently but I felt blindsided. I'd built a support system with this trainer, I considered him a friend and other program members and when he kicked me out of his online program I felt lost & alone. It became harder to stay focused. A month later I had a family member become terribly sick, I had to move & relocate... it just became one thing after another and the weight started creeping back on. Then depression set in. Smdh. I gained back 38lbs over about 1year!! I literally cry out of frustration I worked so hard and I let it slip out of my grasp due to stress and disappointment.

Well it's a New Dawn, New Day! Screw the past... moving forward. Today 5/6/2014... I'm 207lbs. I'm 5 feet tall.

My PLAN: Im signing up for the HCG diet at a medical weight loss clinic. I was quoted $840.00 for a 4 months of HCG protocol w/ B12 shots and supplements? I found a few in my area and I'm ready to get started. Just checking prices/ reviews... Any suggestions?


MY GOALS: I want to lose 40-50lbs w/ the HCG Diet and exercise! I want to lose 20lbs by 6/14/14 for a wedding Im attending and by by 7/19/14 at least another 20lbs ( another wedding to attend 7/19/14).

After I lose the 40-50lbs... I have been researching & saving I am getting a Tummy Tuck, Lipo of bra roll, back/ flanks and upper inner thighs. So far I had 1 consultation with a PS , Dr. Boutte in ATL and she quoted me $23,000!!! For a TT, Smart Lipo of the above areas. Seems too EXPENSIVE to me. I'm looking for Excellent Service but I feel I can find a PS to do those procedures for a lot less. I'm willing to travel to get the procedures done as well. $23,000 seems outrageous in my opinion. lol. Am I wrong? Help me out RS?

I am focusing on losing the weight again (for the last damn time, never again) and toning up. Once I am down 40-50lbs I'll have the TT and Lipo or Smart Lipo to get sculpted and get the Body and happiness that I feel I deserve! Wish me luck I know it's NEVER easy. But anything worth having is worth fighting for! I'm determined to do just that!

If any of you RS friends have any suggestions, advise or feedback, I'd love to hear from you all! Please feel free to join me on this journey! :)

Sorta confused I have been researching all over the internet! So far I have heard so many pros very little cons about the HCG Diet! *Sigh of relief*

Here's what I'm concerned abt: A woman on a HCg Facebook page sd that if a person does the HCG Diet successfully and loses weight and soon after plans to have Plastic surgery... it's best to wait awhile (1- 2 months) to build your system back up and so that you're strong and healthy b4 SX. Well my question is ... will you gain weight back during that waiting time? If so, that sounds counterproductive in my opinion.

IMO- I believe when you're in the 3rd stage of HCG maintenance if you're taking vitamins and eating a healthy diet and getting exercise in, etc I believe a person would be strong enough to withstand PS. Any one have any past experience w/ this scenario? Suggestions, advise, feedback appreciated! :)

Today I went and did my lab work to start the HCG diet. I signed up for the protocol at Advanta Total Health in Marietta, which is only 20 mins from my house! YAY! They were via personaable. Friendly answered all of my questions. Professional. Didn't feel rushed at all. I paid $79, which covers my blood work, consult w/ Dr., HCG shot, meal plan, appetite supplements and my 1st B-12 shot. A FAR cry from $840 that I was quoted before at Synergy Medical Weightloss Clinic in Acworth. smh. Yayyyy! I'm so excited. :) The clinic will get my labs results back in 1 biz day. I scheduled to see the Dr. on Tuesday 5/13/2014. If all goes well I will get my 1st HCG & B-12 shot on Tuesday 5/13/14 and be well on my way to losing weight! I'm excited, anxious and proud that I took the 1st step to become a fitter and healthier version of me! :)

I was told that my weekly cost will be $79.00. I can do the protocol for 4- 6weeks. The Dr. will discuss that with me further on Tuesday. I plan to post Before pics, current weight and measurements before I start on Tuesday. I'll post them and hopefully you all will root for my success on this journey!

Oh yeah... has anyone heard of Infinity... it's weightloss dietary supplement? I heard it's B pollen based?
