Day 1

I'm giving the HCG Platinum X-30 - 30 Day Weight Loss Program a go with a good friend and high hopes. We weighed in this morning and I am at 148. A 20-pound loss would be ideal. I'm reading mixed reviews of this plan -- some swear by it and others say it's a scam. I've read that there is no hcg even in the product. I will be checking into that! In any case, I am happy to be doing SOMETHING, as I not only have stalled in my weight loss, but gained pounds. So hang on and enjoy the ride!

This morning ... 
I did the drops under my tongue as directed. It didn't taste bad, but felt a little tingly. I waited 15 minutes and ate an apple cut in many slivers. I also drank a quart of water throughout the morning. Chicken is baking in the oven for lunch. It smells divine. I think I'll have spinach with it. And of course my melba toast ...

Lunch ... 
The chicken was delicious! Two cups of spinach shriveled to nearly nothing, but was enjoyed nonetheless. I loved the melba toast!

Dinner ... 
Tilapia with lemon -- so-so. It tasted a little fishy being cooked with no butter or oil. Two cups of tomatoes, however, was a feast with fresh dill, salt and pepper. And mmmm-elba.

Before bed ... 
I just treated myself to a "slushie" made with 8 strawberries blended with ice and some Stevia. It is really yummy.

Supplements ...
Took my drops three times today along with calcium, multi and B-Complex vitamins.

Overall, the first day was pretty easy. I felt satisfied and never had hunger pains. I drank 2/3 of a gallon of water. I will most likely spend a good portion of the night making trips to the bathroom.
