Hi all!
I just heard about HCG two weeks ago and I've been watching the vloggers on YouTube (gotta love that place) and reading some of the YahooGroups about HCG and let me tell you, I was very interested in starting until I started reading those groups, all the different directions people are taking and the various places people were buying, I felt like I had to be an pharmaceutical researcher

and wasn't sure I could do this on my own and then, the heavens opened and I stumbled upon this board two days ago.

WOW! What a difference a day makes (remember that little tune?) this place is simple, easy and I've been sitting here cracking up at your posts about pageants, Velveeta boxes in the bedroom, etc etc. Probably creepy to hear but I feel like I know many of you already and I am committed to starting this now and feel like other than a little anxiety about possibly killing myself with the needles/air bubbles, I feel confident.

A little about me. My name, Tyandra, and I'm 37 with four children. I don't have a lot to lose but this is the heaviest I've been in my life. I became a stay at home mother when I had my daughter (I have 3 boys and 1 girl) and while I've always batted around most of my adult life losing and gaining the same 25 lbs over the years, when I came home with her, the weight seemed to creep on and on and on and now I'm at 170! YIKES! First of all, my weight is weird, I always weigh a lot more than I look. I probably look like I'm 155. I always weight about 20 more than I look for some reason but I'm over that part, it's all about how I look and my clothes fit. I'm 5'7" so that doesn't sound like a whole lot but I'm small boned, I should be about 140, maybe even 130 but I haven't seen those numbers since I got pregnant 4 years ago so who knows how my body has changed and I may not need to get that low again. (I don't want my head and body to look like a lollipop

).
Anyway, I just printed out the link that led me to the pounds and inches and will read that again today (I've read it online before but I really want to pour over it). I plan to order my shots today but I'm a little confused about something already.
It looks like from some of the posts some of you are doing the Kevin thing and starting phase 1 before you get your shots. Don't you need your shots to start phase 1 and aren't they used each phase?
Getting pageant ready to represent GA!
