Hi, I'm Nina. I'm 32 years old, married to my best friend, and have a WONDERFUL 4 year old son. I wasn't always over weight. I started gaining my weight back in late 98 early 99. Life changed so much so fast, I got a desk job, I found out that I had degenerative disk disease in my lower back and I had my appendix out. By the end of 2000 I went from 150 to 250. I would try to lose weight off and on, but for some reason my weight never really bothered me. I got married December 2000, had my son ...

Hi, I'm Nina. I'm 32 years old, married to my best friend, and have a WONDERFUL 4 year old son. I wasn't always over weight. I started gaining my weight back in late 98 early 99. Life changed so much so fast, I got a desk job, I found out that I had degenerative disk disease in my lower back and I had my appendix out. By the end of 2000 I went from 150 to 250. I would try to lose weight off and on, but for some reason my weight never really bothered me. I got married December 2000, had my son May 2006 and was happy as could be. I became a SAHM after my son was born, but I could only last 6 months before I felt like I was going crazy. In that time I blew up to 275. I went back to work October 2006 and in December I sand ENOUGH is ENOUGH and stared working out. Between 2007 and early 2008 I got down to 220 and stalled. For 6+ months I didn't lose anything even with healthy eating and exercising (3 times a day) so I gave up and by the end of 2008 I got back up to 240.

In March 09 I moved to Hawaii. My husband was offered a job here and we both thought it would be great to live in Hawaii. The great thing is that I can always be outdoors. 90% of the time the weather is warm with a nice cool breeze, and that makes long walks easy. The bad thing is that I don't have any friends or family here for support. It was easy back in Arizona with all the support, but now that it's just me, my husband and our 3 year old son so I don't have anyone but myself to kick me in the rump. This move has been a real eye opener. Since being here I've put on even more weight and I got back up to 268 pounds. This is just over what I weighed when I gave birth to my son. So I've said NO MORE. I have to do this for me.

So, I started the HCG Protocol 11/28/09 and so far I love it. I researched it for probably a month, and even talked to my doctor before I decided to try it. I know there are a lot of people out there that are against using HCG, but I'm not. It's helped me out in so many ways. It's not a quick fix what so ever like so many people think. If the Protocol is not followed to the T then it won't work and you can end up gaining weight. The protocol is not easy at first, but after time I got use to it and I'm doing wonderful on it.

During my time on HCG I'm finding that I have a real problem with emotional eating and it's set me back. I'm doing a lot of "soul" searching and trying to figure out what my eating triggers are. I really do want this weight off, but I know if I don't get my emotional eating under control I'll never be able to keep it off.
