I use this medication for weightloss and it works. You just have to stick to your diet along with this medication (HCG)and you will get the results you are looking for.

I used the injections for weight loss. I lost 21 pounds in 22 days. The terrible thing was that it stopped working. I took a break from the shots and gained every pound back within the same amount of time. I have never gained weight so fast in my life!!! After stopping the shots I gained so much so fast I was horrified. I don't know if anyone else has had this experience but I wish someone could tell me why this happened.

HCG works marvels for weight loss. I lost 29lbs in 39 days. Everyone tells me how great I look. Doing 2nd round tomorrow. It really does take your cravings away even after being off the shots.

I think it is BS and a HUGE dis-service to women to not allow this to be used for weight loss. When I turned 45, I could no longer control my weight despite working out 2 hours a day and dieting (I was a certified personal trainer and owned 2 gyms and counseled 1000s of women in weight loss). I watched myself go from 129 pounds to 175 in a little over 2 years. At times, I literally gained 5 pounds in a week. I would lose 3 pounds - gain back 5 - over and over. Desperate, I read Kevin Trudale's book and discovered HCG. WHAT A MIRACLE!!! I am losing a pound a day consistently and feel fantastic. Most importantly, the weight is not coming off in the areas that I DO NOT want to lose weight - my face and my breast. It has taken longer than I wanted BECAUSE the FDA shut down the 1st clinic and I had to find another clinic to get HCG and was without it for 2 and 1/2 weeks. Most importantly, I am not hunger and have made numerous behavioral modifications to insure that the weight will stay off - mainly no white stuff - sugar, flour, potatoes, and rice. Friends and acquaintances are asking what I am doing as I look great, my skin is beautiful, and I feel fantastic. So GO GET HCG if you are serious about losing weight! I have 20 more pounds to go to my goal weight and I am planning a wonderful Valentine's get away with my husband. Read More Read Less

I gave 10,000 IU intramuscularly and was sore for over 48 hours - it was difficult to sit or lay on this side for 24 hours. The effects were positive - just wanted to warn others that there can be a lot of pain and discomfort with injection site. Also - it was necessary in my case for the medication to be administerd by someone else so I had to train someone to give me injection.

I have struggled with my weight for years and over the past 3years since I turned 38yrs, my weight kept going higher and higher no matter how much I excercised or how great I ate. With HCG injections I have lost about 1 lb a day and I am thrilled. This is a blessing for me. I have alot of energy and I am not hungry. Which I thought I would be with the regimen. But its Easy! I cant wait to get back into shape.

I lost 76 pounds in 4 mos on hcg injections. I went from size 22-24 to a 10-12. I was VERY HAPPY about that. I followed the diet very strictly and did not get hungry and had plenty of energy. Sometimes I would lose a pound and a half a day when I walked. One thing I question is, can this make your hair fall out? My hair has always been fairly thick and long and I always got compliments on it. Now it has been coming out by the brushfuls for over a month and I am very concerned. I had about 5 inches cut off because it was thin and stringy on the ends. I don't know if it's the hcg or something causing it. Has anybody else had this problem? I had injections 6 wks then waited 6 wks & injections 4 wks to lose 76 pounds. I was on the diet for 14 weeks. I read that extreme dieting can make your hair fall out. I am ready for it to stop. Other than that, (if hcg is the reason)I was THRILLED with the results!Read More Read Less

It should also be known that this medication causes rapid weight gain. The weight is hard to lose because much of it is muscle. I took it in a complex that relieved joint pain and it worked but I went from 135 to 205lbs in less than a year.
