Wow, it's been awhile huh?! It's about time I update our long over due neglected blog! Ed started another round and today is his first VLCD so I figured now is the perfect time for an update!
Both of our weights have been up and down since the cruise in November (which by the way was a BLAST). We decided not to stress about it until after the holidays. So here we are, Ed is 15 lbs over his LIW and I'm at 126 which is 11 lbs over my LIW. I know what to do to get me back down to 120 lbs and since he's doing protocol it will be much easier for me. It really is amazing though how much we indulged and really aren't too far off! Ed is more excited now for this round than any other round-he's focused and READY-you go boy!
So the journey continues!
For all of you starting a new round, best of luck to you! I'll update again soon!
Also keep in mind that if you have any questions about this protocol you can go to http://happilythinnerafter.com/ where you will find out everything you need to know about HCG and how to get started!

Let's PAY IT FORWARD!
R5P2D11
Ed:
Total losses this round: 14.8
Current Weight: 218.4
Jennifer:
121.8
Just wanted to give a quick update! Ed is having an excellent round so far-he is only 1.4 lbs from his LIW from his last round. In just a day or two he'll be entering new territory. I'm amazed how different he looks in just 11 days!
Great news with my sweet sis-she is also on day 11 and is down 9.8 lbs! I'm in awe of her determination and commitment (she's way stronger than we ever were) I see why she is the older sister-I'm so proud of her!
We are getting so excited about the HCG cruise! Ed wants to continue the protocol until he hits 199 and then maintain until the cruise so we'll see...
Speaking of the cruise!
As you may have heard, there is an HCG cruise planned in November. Among those of us who will be attending is Biz! Not only is Biz a great friend to so many of us but she is an amazing example of success doing the protocol! What we would like to do to show her all of our love and appreciation is have a fund raiser to help pay for her airfare and cruise! We are hoping to raise around $700 by September 16, 2008-which will cover both expenses. Please don’t feel obligated in any way to donate, but if it’s at all possible we would greatly appreciate your donation in ANY amount (every bit counts).
To make an easy donation we’ve set up a secure online PayPal account where you can click on the donation button below to place your donation!

Hope ya'll are doing well! I'll update again soon.
P.S. Um, just to clarify in case there was any confusion out there-I'M NOT PREGNANT (ya kiddin' me?!) LOL

Still here, just enjoying summmmaaatime!
So guess what? My sis is starting her first round on the 9th and Ed is going to be doing it with her-we are so excited!!! It's our anniversary that day too so Ed thought it would be the perfect time to start (and load) so VLCD starts on the 11th! Ed is up around 10 lbs and is just fine with that knowing he is going to be starting another round-what did we ever do without HCG?! I'm doing good-I'm still holding around 122-124 lbs. I have learned to enjoy occasional splurges in moderation and that protein days are a lifesaver or should I say "weightsaver!"
I'm not sure how much I'll be blogging in the future since I'd like to start spending more time in the HCG Forum. If you are not a member there please join! It is the #1 HCG site on the web and has so much useful information. Here is the addy: http://myhcgjourney.com/forums/
A big skinny "THANKS" to all of you who are continuing to read and check on our lonely blog over here. I'll update again when buddy boy and sis start!
Peace and Love!
P.S. We miss ya'll!!!

Hollllllllllllllllah! How is everybody? We wanted to give ya'll a quick update. We picked the kids up from the airport last Wednesday and when they saw us they were surprised at how different we look. We are having such a great time with them and what's even better is we feel so good and have so much energy to play with them rather than watch them play! Ed and I keep thinking back to last summer and how different we felt-what a difference 45 and 60 pounds make!
We are doing great as far as the scale goes too! Ed is up a little today because he ate some of the brown rice that I made for dinner last night. I ate the brown rice too and didn't gain-hee, hee! I made the most delicious low carb cheesecake too-here is the recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_27072,00.html
I'm still shocked at how much food we can eat and still maintain. It's been 3 months since I've been done with the protocol and I'm STILL staying at the same weight. I remember reading in the manuscript that the success rate is 60%-70%-what other "diets" have those numbers? Each day when we step on the scale we feel excited that we actually found something that WORKED! How great life is not having to be on a DIET!!!!
We've hardly been on the computer since the kids have been here but I still make time to check on ya'll! Thanks for always checking on us too! We are having such a great time and enjoying being with our kids so much. We really cherish the time we have with them because they grow up so fast-whaaaaaaa!
We have another fun filled day ahead so I better get this posted! I'll make sure and update again soon. Stay cool and be safe! Love you guys!

Ed's R4 is OVER!
P4D2
Ed:
Total R4 Loss: -20.2
LIW: 217.8
Today: 218.0
Jennifer:
124.4
Yep that's right, Ed is finally finished with this round!!! His LIW was on Friday and WE ard both glad he's done ;) Yesterday was his first P3 day and he enjoyed eggs and steak with blue cheese and thought he was in heaven. It was really funny because I was asking him on Sunday what he wants for his first P3 meal and he said "can I do a steak day, even though I'm not over my LIW?" I'm tellin' ya he LOVES the steak days and it doesn't bother him to wait all day to eat (unlike me). Speaking of...
I have to tell ya'll about my experiment. This weekend I "over indulged" on a few starchy items and I gained 3 lbs...I know. Lesson: Don't eat white rice, spring rolls w/peanut sauce, chex mix (don't ask) and roasted soy beans all day. I'm blaming PMS! Okay, so instead of doing a steak day or an egg day I did the "both day"-LOL! Reading Monica's blog reminded me about what Dr. S says about the hunger-edema and to eat 2 eggs in the morning, huge steak at lunch and another steak at dinner (followed by a large helping of cheese). So I decided to try it-even though I wasn't protein deficient-which is why you do this in the first place. Well it was a success-I lost 1.4 which is about what I lose when I do an egg day (I tend to lose more on egg days than steak days). Today I will be doing an egg day to get me back down. You know I've accepted the fact that if I'm going to eat starches and sugar that I'm most likely going to gain. I do my best not to freak out when I see the gains I just decide that moment to get it handled and not have ANOTHER day of sugar or starches. Maintaining is work and I do believe that being thin and staying thin is about making conscious decisions about what I eat. I keep my weight in check by weighing everyday and then if I do see I've gained more than 2 lbs then I make sure and do a protein day. Even though my hypo has been reset the fact is I have to continually make healthy food choices. I'm learning what foods I can have together and which ones I can't. Remember awhile back when I had the DQ blizzard and didn't gain? Looking back on that day I ate mostly proteins. When I combine starches and sugar it seems that's when I get in trouble. I'm learning!
I sure can't wait until you are all at your goal weights. Maintaining and hanging near LIW is a journey in itself. Hurry up, I need ya'll! LOL
Well our life is about to completely change in 1 day! The kids will be here and we have many "Edventures" planned. Camping, fishing, swimming, water parks, skate parks and who knows what else. We are really looking forward to it. I will still update once a week just to keep ya'll informed and to check on you. Please know that even if we don't comment that we do check on each one of you...our blogger buds! We appreciate all of your love and support.
Be well!

Ed: P2D33-Almost done!
R4P2D33
Ed:
Total R4 Loss: -18.0
Current weight: 220.0
Jennifer:
121.4
How's everybody doing out there? All is well here with us in blazing HOT Texas! I'm telling you if there's any reason Ed and I wanted to lose weight it's so we could survive the hot, humid summer months with way less insulation! We didn't begin this protocol until the end of August of last year so we spent most of summer FAT, ahhh how things have changed!
Ya'll things have just been crazy for us! I feel like everything is hitting us at once and we have so much to do before the kids arrive in 7 days!!!! Ed is doing great but feeling a little disappointed that this round hasn't been his "award winning round". I keep reminding him that 18 lbs gone in 33 days is outstanding compared to any other "diet" he could ever do (especially since he has NOT been strict with his P2 foods this round). So here's the plan-Ed is going to go until he gets to 215 as his LIW and then do P3 until the mid of July and then start back for one last round to get under 200 lbs. I personally think my man looks great right now. It's amazing to me how the HCG not only makes you lose pounds but INCHES! Gotta love it!
So, I'm back to my usual 121 (and some change). This is my sweet spot and where my body seems to like to be. I went shopping yesterday and it's still so crazy for me to pick up size 4's and have them fit-what a feeling...what a GREAT feeling!
Hope our buddies out there are doing good! We want to give a special shout out to Regina-(EweWho) who entered Onederland today-we are so proud of you-66 lbs gone forevaaaaaaa-keep going!!! Hope everyone else is doing good and your "fat is melting away like crisco on the blacktop in the hot sun, on a sunny day, on a summer solstice, with no cloud cover, like the hottest day ever" as Jerry would say! For the rest of you in P3, happy maintaining!!!
Take care friends!!!

When the goin' gets tough...the tough KEEP goin' (this is what Ed said this morning after his injection)! Ya'll this has been the most interesting round for both Ed and I (and I'm not even on a round-LOL). I really commend all of you who have done round after round living with people who are not doing the protocol. We always refer to this protocol and experience as a "Journey" and even with Ed and I being in 2 different stages of this we are both still realizing and learning about our relationship with food and why we were overweight. By golly I think we're getting it!
We had a great weekend and tried to be out as much as possible. We ate crawfish and seafood and enjoyed the HOT weather...NOT! It's been so hot that the only way you can be outside is if you are in the boat on the lake or in the swimming pool!
So as of today Ed is up 2.8 lbs from where he was a week ago. Ed wants to keep going so I mixed him up a new batch of HCG for another 14 days. I wonder if the more rounds you go the more relaxed you get about it. It's so vitally important to follow P2 as written if you want to have optimal results. I believe that the daily losses is what makes this protocol successful and why people stick to it. If you are deviating and not eating the P2 menu you don't get to enjoy those losses that keeps you motivated to keep going. Ed is determined to succeed and go as many rounds as it takes at HIS pace. When he does deviate he doesn't beat himself up or stress about it he just takes it as "I'm not worried about it" so because of that I don't nag or give him "the look" this is his own experience.
So want to hear something really great that happens when your body has found it's set point and why ya'll should keep going and get to that weight that you want to stay at? I've mentioned that I'm eating what I please (I stick to fresh foods and proteins as much as possible). I don't count my cals and I even had a Dairy Queen blizzard and I didn't even go up 1 oz the next day. I couldn't wait to tell ya'll that! Yeah today I'm up 1 lb but I fluctuate up a pound down a pound-it's all gooooooooooooood! As "hard" as those 3 rounds seemed to be at times, it's sooooo worth the reward! Keep going...
Ya'll thanks for the comments! I've decided the easiest thing is making my rounds and leaving comments for you on your blog. My computer time is nothing like it used to be and with summer vacation almost here and 4 kids, it will really be limited. Please know that we do check on all of you! Jerry-bud, you need to email us at je_mcnair at yahoo dot com. Your comment is so funny and we need to correspond through email! Hope things are going well for you!
Alrighty then, we're signing off for now! Take care and have a great rest of the week!

Well helllllllllllllo there! Wow things could have been so much worse (as far as the scale goes). This weekend we were not home at all so we had to do the best we could. Ed actually did pretty good, he's still a pound lower than where he was on Thursday and I'm .6 down! What Ed did while eating out is he made sure he stayed as close to 500 cals as possible. I've learned what works best for me is to focus on eating plenty of protein with veggies. Ed keeps commenting how the HCG has really made it where he hasn't been hungry, gotta love it!
So guess what? This weekend we are going to...another crawfish boil! Ed says he doesn't want to take an interrupted break so he'll just have to deal with any gain! This will be the last crawfish boil of the season so we couldn't pass it up! ;)
Not much to report! We are busy getting ready for the summer since all 4 kids will be out! I feel like we have so much to do in a short 3 weeks. We are really looking forward to it!
Thanks to our fellow bloggers for your comments! We also want to give a special shout out to Jerry from Richmond, VA-It's awesome you decided to take the plunge! We wish you as much success as we've had-it's been an amazing journey so far. Please keep us posted (your comments crack us up)!
We'll be updating again in a few days! Thanks as always for your visits! Take care friends.

What's up LOSERS who are major WINNERS! Wow, things have been a bit hectic for us these last couple of days. We've had to eat out a couple of times so Ed hasn't exactly stuck to the protocol BUT he hasn't been gaining-which is great! Today Ed is doing the P2 "egg day" to get the fat loss back in action!
I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better and eating a very balanced P4 menu and still maintaining. I'm not limiting myself on starches and I'm eating what sounds good (which a lot of the time is salads). As I've mentioned before, I feel that my body has found it's set point. It's been 2 months since my LIW and I'm 6.8 over. I think 115 is a bit unrealistic-for me, 120 is a very healthy weight so to maintain right here NOT being on a diet feels wonderful! Guess what? The Protocol WORKS!!!
Hope all is well our blogger buds-I will be making my rounds today to get caught up on ya'll! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments and well wishes!
We will be gone most of the weekend (weddings and family) so I hope Ed can continue being strong....we shall see! LOL
Have a great Friday and a great weekend! Love you guys!!!

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better and eating a very balanced P4 menu and still maintaining. I'm not limiting myself on starches and I'm eating what sounds good (which a lot of the time is salads). As I've mentioned before, I feel that my body has found it's set point. It's been 2 months since my LIW and I'm 6.8 over. I think 115 is a bit unrealistic-for me, 120 is a very healthy weight so to maintain right here NOT being on a diet feels wonderful! Guess what? The Protocol WORKS!!!
Hope all is well our blogger buds-I will be making my rounds today to get caught up on ya'll! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments and well wishes!
We will be gone most of the weekend (weddings and family) so I hope Ed can continue being strong....we shall see! LOL
Have a great Friday and a great weekend! Love you guys!!!

Ed has been doing great! We went out for Mexican food on Saturday and he ate chips and queso (his favorite) and had 2 off protocol beverages and guess what? He still lost the next day! Yesterday I couldn't get out of bed so he was on his own to prepare his food. He stayed under 500 cals (eating various off protocol foods) and lost again! Let's say it together.....MEN!!!!
So all is well here in Protocoland! I'm anxious to check on ya'll to see how things are going in your worlds!

Ed:
Yesterday's Loss: - 2 lbs
Today's Loss: - 1 lb
Total R4 Release: -12.0
Current weight: 226.0
Jennifer:
122.2 (down 1.2)
(did an egg day yesterday)
Hi ya'll! Quick post today! Ed is down 12 lbs already-he was a little disappointed that he "only" lost 1 lb this morning but HE figured out that he had too much Soy Milk yesterday (I told him but he thought it would be "okay"). I want to clarify that the ONLY reason why we are drinking Soy Milk is because we need to use it up. On previous rounds Ed and I only used half and half and we would recommend you use that. If all else fails-follow the manuscript! LOL
I've been at 123.4 so yesterday I decided to do an egg day to see if this weight is my set point. I lost 1.2 (which normally on egg days I lose more than that). So I'm thinking this is right where my body wants to be-and I'm JUST FINE with that!
We need to get going but I wanted to tell Marrrray, Crystal (I wrote a comment in your blog about the dressing), Connie, Becca, Lil, Biz, Jan, B, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS!
Jerry, this is Ed! All those things being said is from all the "nay-sayers." Dr. Simeons' Protocol is not something new. There have been thousands and thousands of successful cases (male and female) with no ill side effects. I have had none of the issues you are referring to. BTW, this is not anything close to Steroids or HCH! HCG is a natural hormone. Let me know if you have another questions! Again I've been overweight my entire life and because of this Protocol and the HCG I'm finally losing weight and feeling better than I ever have-you should go for it!
We appreciate all your visits-we'll update again soon!

Ed: P2D4- Holding strong...
R4P2D4
Ed:
Yesterday: 231.0
Today: 229.0
Release: -2.0
Total R4 Release: -9.0
Jennifer:
123.2
I felt like I was eating all day and I'm down another .4-I'll take it!
Ed's Menu:
B: coffee w/2 Tbls Soy Milk & Stevia
S: 1/2 grapefruit
L: chili made with 96/4 beef, 1 whole egg
D: grilled chicken salad topped with 1/2 chopped apple & ginger dressing, 2 melba crackers
1.5 L water, lots and lots of coffee
9 POUNDS ALREADY!!! I think he's going to break his own record for the most lbs. lost in one week (on all the rounds). He's still holding strong and hasn't deviated! I kind of feel bad when I'm making myself snacks and he doesn't get any! I was once again reminded yesterday though while I was preparing his meals that you can eat a decent amount of food for only 500 cals (especially salads since lettuce has so few cals).
Ya'll thanks so much for all your comments. Ed reads the comments daily and really appreciates that you're here for him!
So on that note, how 'bout them comments-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moni Moni- YES, Ed is totally in the zone! I did change things up a bit yesterday (it was time for some fresh, raw food) but he still pulled a 2 pounder. I'm curious to see how Nakia will do with the beef twice a day. I have learned through all the rounds that protein is key! I even do 4 oz if the meat is really lean (turkey breast or chicken breast). Thanks AGAIN for your comments about the pics...we really feel great and I can't wait to see Ed after another 30 lbs-hubba, hubba!
Becca- I know, isn't it crazy how these guys lose so much? You know it's because they have more to lose. As your experiencing-the closer you get to your goal weight the slower it takes! My last 10 lbs felt like an eternity! And yes, I am so sweet for making all his meals-LOL!
Bizzy Biz- You always have our "back" dontcha! I appreciated the Anon comment. They didn't know what they were saying. We are the ones who have lost the weight and time will prove us right! I just think it's funny they did it Anon-it reminds me of the scrawny punk kid that wouldn't say anything to your face-they would wait until they were down the block before they yell something so that they could yell and run!!! We love you too Bizzzzzzzzzz!
B- Hi B! I have you added to my "daily doses" so we'll be watching you! Okay so this weekend you start right? P2 is so comforting isn't it?!
Aimie- OH NO, he has passed ya girl! How about me and you compete okay? I need to lose 3.2. Now we both know you'll beat me so does that make you feel any better? Girl, I feel your pain being with your "I eat-what-I-want-when-I-want man." Just remember P2 is so short term and before you know it you'll be at goal and so grateful you resisted and stayed strong. IT'S SO WORTH IT!
We wanted to let you all know that we did a video regarding some of the questions that were asked on the Mike and Juliet Show. We only did one take (so please bare with us). If ya'll are curious feel free to check it out at:

R4P2D3
Ed:
Yesterday: 235.0
Today: 231.0
Release: -4.0
Total R4 Release: -7.0
Jennifer:
123.6
What? It's Monday again already!!! Hope ya'll had a great weekend!
Ed is off to a GREAT start! It's amazing to me that in just 2 VLCD days he has already lost 7 lbs. On the last round Ed's favorite meal was chili so I've been making that for him for the past 2 days, as both meals (he's so easy to please). For his fruit he's been eating 1/2 grapefruit in the morning and the other half in the evening. Yesterday he was saying that he can tell he has HCG back in his system because he hasn't felt any hunger!
I want to get back down to my more realistic weight of 120 lbs (115 was a bit low for my maintenance weight). Since before Mexico I have not exercised, I was planning on it today but it's so rainy outside so tomorrow will be day! It shouldn't take me long to lose these last few pounds. It's such a wonderful feeling to eat what I feel like eating and not gain (granted I eat lots of organic fruits, veggies, no processed or fried foods). I've even had pasta and rice this week and I weigh less than my last weigh in! LOVE IT!!!
In response to comments:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aime- Hey girly! It's so unfair how good guys do on this protocol-lucky dawgs!!! Well Mr. Ed is determined to have his weight gone by the end of May and if he's a "good boy" he just may. Tattoo? c'mon hurry Aim!
Becca- "NO GRAVY" train is right! It does seem strange having him on P2 on me not. I keep telling him that I feel like "I'm forgetting something." Thank goodness I'm at goal because I wouldn't want to do it again. His mind set is so much stronger this round than any other round (probably because he knows not only does he have ME but he has ya'll to whip him into shape)!
Marrray- D'hope (stupid TOM)! Okay we're on our way to "slap our sista silly"-love ya girl and you'll have the small gain lost in a couple of days!
Anonymous- Thanks for your comment! We worked really hard for those gains living it up in Mexico for 10 days (not being on a diet)! You wouldn't believe how much food we ate for that small of a gain! After a few days of being home we were at the same weights as we were before we left! Ed was trying to set a record on his 2 load days for his 4th round (and he feels he accomplished that-LOL). Amazingly in just 2 days he's already lost 7 lbs! In 7 1/2 months of doing this protocol this is the farthest thing from any "band-aid therapy" we have seen and done! One thing Ed and I know for a fact is that if we aren't getting the results, we are NOT following the protocol. I seem to be "stuck" between 121-125 lbs and a size 4 no matter what I eat! Not bad considering I've been off my last round and eating normally for over 8 weeks (most people have a hard time not gaining even when they are on a diet).
Jan- And how YOU been? Yeah that's it, I'll just have Biz handle Ed this round (except she doesn't scare him)! LOL
Shell- Ya'll are so funny! I'm looking forward to his antics too! LOL Like I've mentioned he has a new found determination this round to get this done ONCE and for ALL! Keep the faith!!
It's so exciting to have so many people on P2! Hope ya'll have a great week, keep shrinking!!!
Thanks for checking on us!

VLCD #1- Here we go again!!!
R4P2D1
Ed:
Today: 238.0
And he's off.....
Ed started out right, he really lived up his 2 loading days. Last round he said he didn't load enough so he had to make sure that he didn't let that happen again (wink, wink).
It's been really funny listening to Ed's new found determination for doing this round better than any other round and "going until I get to 199 lbs, however long it takes!" You tell 'em hun!
I feel out of the loop planning for Ed's food and not planning for "our" food. I plan on cooking us the same meals (I'll just eat more). I'm excited for Ed to hit goal-if he doesn't deviate he could lose some pounds FAST! In previous rounds he always had great losses but would deviate-so I think he's determined enough this round to get it done (especially since it's going to be his last round).
Things are settling down a bit. On Monday I'll start back into my fitness program. I have been feeling great! My last weigh in I was 125.2, I'm going to get back down to 120 as my maintenance weight. This week I'll stick to mostly proteins and raw foods.
Well shoot it's been so long since I've responded to comments so, in response to comments:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bizinator- I know, aren't those pics perfect pics of paradise? I always get bugged that Ed takes so many pictures but thank goodness he does!!! Biz, thanks for everything-I love you!
B- Hey you!! Thanks so much for your comments and checking on us and thanks for your sweet compliments. I need to go check on ya!
Marrray Moe- It's my Texas sis! Glad you liked the pics..."hot" did you call me "hot?" Talking about hot...it's almost summer and you better get ready ready to wear a bikini with me!
Amie- Another sweet blogger bud who leaves us the nicest comments-THANKS GIRL! I wonder how you've been doin'-I'm so glad to have you back in Protocoland-we missed ya!
Liz- Awww thanks, you are so sweet. Being on the M&J Show was quite the experience-we are glad we looked normal unlike the psycho Dr.! So glad to hear you'll be starting another round. It seems like so many people are starting! We're here for ya!
Jan- You're so great, thanks so much for being here for us and always cheering us on.
Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments-ya'll sure know how to make us feel good!
Okay well I'm off to make lunch-have a great weekend!!!

Ed started Round 4 TODAY!!!
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Want more information about HCG?
Quick Update!
What an amazing experience! We are at the airport now and we will be back to Houston at 5:00 pm. We are so grateful for this opportunity to represent this Protocol and help bring light to the cure to obesity! The results speak for themselves-not only ours but everyone else who has done the Protocol properly. If you are sick of being overweight and tired of dieting you have come to the right community. Like our blog says "know the way, go the way, show the way!"
If you found our blog via the Mike and Juliet Morning Show and are looking for more information regarding HCG, please go here: http://myhcgjourney.com/
I'll update more this evening! THANK YOU again for all of your love, encouragement and support!

The EDventure has begun!!!
Hello friends!
We had to take a minute to update our blog and fill you in on everything!
We arrived in New York yesterday at 1:30 pm. Fox has treated us with first class service starting with a limo which picked us up from the airport and then dropped us off at our hotel which is located across the street from Time Square (Ed is in heaven with all the LED signs)!
The driver then picked us up at 5:00 pm to go the studio to start the "shoot!" Ed and I both did separate interviews where they asked us general questions about being overweight, how we found HCG and how the diet works. After that they took the camera's on the street where they videoed us walking the streets, sitting on a bench at Union Square, going to a cafe having a drink and other various things. It was really funny because people were going up to the camera guys asking who we were and what we were doing. To say the least we had a great time! After the shoot we enjoyed walking downtown and then stopped at a great little place to "people watch" while we ate sushi. Since neither of us have spent much time in NY Ed insisted we take a ride on a "Petty Taxi" (they guys who ride you around in their carts on bicycles) to go to the "Top of the Rock" to view the amazing city-it was so beautiful!
Today we get to enjoy the day in the city and then we have to be at the studio tomorrow morning at 7:30 am to get ready to go LIVE at 9:00 am! We have no idea what to expect but we both feel very optimistic regardless of any opposing views. Ed and I are here to represent and be proof that this protocol WORKS!!!
We want to send you all a HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU for all of your love, comments and support. We are so grateful for this opportunity and we feel truly blessed that through our HCG journey not only have we lost weight and feel better than EVER-we have become friends with all of you!
We fly home tomorrow afternoon and we are excited and thrilled for what "Edventures" are in store! Please send good vibes our way for the show tomorrow-we will represent HCG and this protocol and the AMAZING results that could benefit MILLIONS! The Mike and Juliet Morning show is on Fox and airs at 9 am and 10 am in various cities (check your local listings). http://www.mandjshow.com/
Okay ya'll we are off for the day! I'll make sure and update when we get home with all the details along with pics of NY and Mexico.
Love you all,
Ed and Jenn
P.S. We weighed yesterday morning before we left and from 2 steak days we are BOTH back to the weight we were before we left for Mexico-can you believe it?! THANK YOU Dr. S!

The driver then picked us up at 5:00 pm to go the studio to start the "shoot!" Ed and I both did separate interviews where they asked us general questions about being overweight, how we found HCG and how the diet works. After that they took the camera's on the street where they videoed us walking the streets, sitting on a bench at Union Square, going to a cafe having a drink and other various things. It was really funny because people were going up to the camera guys asking who we were and what we were doing. To say the least we had a great time! After the shoot we enjoyed walking downtown and then stopped at a great little place to "people watch" while we ate sushi. Since neither of us have spent much time in NY Ed insisted we take a ride on a "Petty Taxi" (they guys who ride you around in their carts on bicycles) to go to the "Top of the Rock" to view the amazing city-it was so beautiful!
Today we get to enjoy the day in the city and then we have to be at the studio tomorrow morning at 7:30 am to get ready to go LIVE at 9:00 am! We have no idea what to expect but we both feel very optimistic regardless of any opposing views. Ed and I are here to represent and be proof that this protocol WORKS!!!
We want to send you all a HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU for all of your love, comments and support. We are so grateful for this opportunity and we feel truly blessed that through our HCG journey not only have we lost weight and feel better than EVER-we have become friends with all of you!
We fly home tomorrow afternoon and we are excited and thrilled for what "Edventures" are in store! Please send good vibes our way for the show tomorrow-we will represent HCG and this protocol and the AMAZING results that could benefit MILLIONS! The Mike and Juliet Morning show is on Fox and airs at 9 am and 10 am in various cities (check your local listings). http://www.mandjshow.com/
Okay ya'll we are off for the day! I'll make sure and update when we get home with all the details along with pics of NY and Mexico.
Love you all,
Ed and Jenn
P.S. We weighed yesterday morning before we left and from 2 steak days we are BOTH back to the weight we were before we left for Mexico-can you believe it?! THANK YOU Dr. S!

Paradise Found!
Jennifer:
Gain: 6.2
Ed:
Gain: 8.0
We are back and I'm finally updating our blog! We had the best 10 days we've ever had! The resort that we were originally booked with was really nice but really crowded-so on the 5th day we decided to rent a car and go exploring. We ended up driving about 1.5 hours from Playa Del Carmen and ended up taking the wrong but very "right" turn and came across PARADISE!
Ed is downloading pics and I hope to have them posted by this evening. I would try to explain but words do no justice, let's just put it this way-we ended up checking out of our hotel and extending our vacation so we could stay at our little found paradise as long as possible. Our little palapa was right on the beach and there were only 4 people there the entire time. There was no electricity so at night the only light we had was from candles and the big beautiful moon. We spent most of our days in the hammocks and on the cute canopy beds on the beach. We enjoyed great authentic Mexican food, lots of seafood and fresh sushi and everything else we wanted!
What a great feeling it was to eat and and enjoy our vacation not having to think about being on a diet. Believe it or not we were actually anxious to weigh when we got home just to see how our bodies responded to a full P4 and eating as we please. We both slept in yesterday and weighed in later than usual but we were both surprised and happy to see the gains weren't too bad. Yes, we are both quite a bit over our LIW but to only gain 6 and 8 lbs in 10 days (not to mention water retention from flying) we'll take it! We are doing a steak day today and then we'll be focusing on protein days until Ed starts his next round next week.
We have so much going on right now-back to reality! The only problem with going on vacation is everything is still here waiting to be done when you get home. I'm sure ya'll heard about the morning show that has contacted some of us regarding HCG. We hope to hear something by the end of the day. We'll make sure to keep you posted. We would love the opportunity to share our experience and journey with HCG. There are so many people who are looking for something that actually WORKS and we are the proof!!!
Thanks so much for your thoughts and comments while we were gone. Give us just a few more days and things will be back to "normal!"
Hope you are all doing well and I'll be checkin on ya this evening!
Have a wonderful weekend!

P4-Weekly update!
Jennifer:
LIW: 115.0
Today: 122.2
LIW: +7.2
Ed:
LIW: 222.0
Today: 225.0
LIW: +3.0
Well where have ya'll been? (hee, hee) Wow, it's been a whole week since I updated last?! Time flies when you’re having fun! The weather here in Houston is absolutely B-E-A-U-tiful so we've been out as much as possible.
On Sunday we took a wonderful drive to go see the fields of blue bonnets. We took food for a picnic and had our pup Jackson with us-it was a very memorable day (especially dessert)! I was looking through the bag of food that we bought and I noticed a suspicious food...I pull it out and ED had bought a Moon Pie (OMG, the last time I had one of those was when I was like 10 yrs old-him too)! Well the Moon Pie was the start of "gimmie more, I need more...gimmie sugar, any sugar!" After our picnic on our way home I was begging for another one and then Ed suggested Dairy Queen...oh yeah! Ed and I shared a blizzard AND a banana split PLUS a small fry (I will blame Ed for that one too)! Needless to say we were fearful of the scale allllllll week.
It's been a week since we weighed and guess what? We both only gained .6 from a week ago-not bad! I've been walking 60 min or jogging for 40 min each day and that along with my strength training is tightening me up! I used to work out (pre HCG) and I would feel how strong and solid my muscle was but I wasn't seeing much definition (too many layers of fat) so now it's a totally different experience to actually see my muscles and watch them change. I never really understood what overweight people meant when they said that they "hid" under their fat. Now, as I see my body as I'm meant to look I realize how "exposed" I am-nothing to hide behind. It's taking time for me to realize that this is for "real" and that I did get to my goal and that I don't need to diet anymore and most of all that I won't wake up and suddenly gain 50 lbs-I AM IN CONTROL! I think that's why Dr. S says to weigh everyday-to keep you in check and never let our weight get out of control EVER AGAIN!
In 4 days from now we will be in MEXICO!!!! We have been having so much fun shopping and getting ready to go. I bought everything I need except a swim suit (the item I need most)! We plan on going shopping again this weekend. We've been busy with work trying to get everything handled and the days are just flying by.
Thanks for checking on us ya'll-we appreciate your comments! Hope all is well in Protocoland!!!
Much love!!
