I am someone who has been exactly where you are now. I was always tired, had knee pain, back pain, mood swings, lethargy, poor self-esteem… the list goes on. I was never overweight as a child, but when I left school, I almost doubled in size – my weight went from 60kg to 120kg. 

I was miserable, I had poor eating habits and my self-esteem was at a low. All I wanted, was to fit into ‘normal’ jeans (not maternity wear), and burn my oversized skirts with elastic bands.

I came across an advertisement for hcg and decided to give it a go. I lost 9kg within the first 3 weeks. I followed the hcg protocol and lost a total of 34kg in 4 months. I went down from a size 24 to a size 12. The rest is history as the saying goes…

Update: It has been 10 years since I originally went on the hcg protocol and lost 34kg. I have since quit smoking(I know it’s a nasty habit and am now a typical ex-smoker), and had a baby (at almost 39). I am only 5kg away from my previous goal weight. I am turning 42 in September. If I can do it, anyone can.
