<p>My suggestion? &nbsp;<a href="http://www.anumed-intl.com/products/Perfect-4-1oz.html" target="_blank">The Perfect 4 Pack</a>.</p>
<p><span><strong>Why Perfect 4 is perfect. ((ACCORDING TO ANUMED-INTL WEBSITE))</strong></span></p>
<p><span>The current obesity epidemic is a part of a very complex physiological setting. The Perfect 4 HCG kit presents a multifaceted approach to the successful release of excess fat while at the same time building a strong health profile. This life changing program provides one of the best answers to the obesity epidemic. The Perfect 4 is a combination of dietary supplements and homeopathic HCG that addresses a wide spectrum of health issues as you set out to lose weight.</span></p>
<p><span>Clinical studies have shown that Vitamin D3 increases the rate of weight loss when on a weight loss program. AnuMed is providing D3 in the form of an oil free cream. This product has been shown to be well absorbed by the skin. Stevia is known to be the best option that nature has to offer to our over consumption of refined sugar and artificial sugar. Our Stevia is a unique blend of nature&rsquo;s bounty and scientific ingenuity on the part of AnuMed&rsquo;s team. It has zero calories, zero carbs and a zero glycemic index. B-12 and folic acid, when in the methyl form provides a very powerful duo. B-12 is necessary for the metabolizing of fats and carbohydrates.</span></p>
<p><span>It is also a powerful source of energy and it contributes to mental health and clarity of thought. Inulin is a prebiotic that makes a significant contribution to a healthy gut. It is also an extremely healthy fiber and the typical diet in the USA, does not provide enough fiber. When all is said and done, it is due to our science that you will experience a set of products that are so important for good health as well as weight loss.</span></p>
<p><strong>What you get:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span>1 oz e-HCG</span></li>
<li><span>1 oz Stevia Natural</span></li>
<li><span>1 oz B-12</span></li>
<li><span>1.2 oz Vitamin D3 Oil Free</span></li>
<li><span>Stevia flavored sample packets</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Get the skinny from their blog. &nbsp;It's a <a href="http://blog.anumed-intl.com/" target="_blank">GREAT blog</a> on their products &amp; company and TRUTH about the diet!</p>
<p><strong>REAL MOM MEDIA PERSONAL REVIEW:</strong></p>
<p>We believe in HCG. &nbsp;The diet, the results-all of it. &nbsp;This company has been recommended not only from a local physician that we work with-but also from other HCG dieters.</p>
<p>It's a great company who stands behind their product. &nbsp;They also have an awesome customer service support group. (You ROCK Nicole. =) &nbsp;</p>
<p>The e-HCG, B-12 &amp; Vitamin D3 is awesome. &nbsp;I have to be honest and tell you that I'm not a fan of the stevia. &nbsp;I prefer PLAIN and these are all flavored. &nbsp;With that being said-I haven't tried it with anything that isn't already flavored. So..I'll have to give them another shot.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Check out Anumed. &nbsp;They aren't a strange company from India selling HCG. &nbsp;They are LEGIT. &nbsp;In the United States. REAL HCG. &nbsp;And they work.</p>

<p>I know. &nbsp;And yes. &nbsp;</p>
<p>You're totally correct.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I've been slacking.</p>
<p>Badly.</p>
<p>But I've also been working very hard on my 'inside'. &nbsp;And now I'm starting to transfer my focus from the inside to the outside. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Yes. &nbsp;I know. &nbsp;I have to juggle both of them. &nbsp;But ya know what? &nbsp;I needed a break.</p>
<p>And obviously-with an additional 30 pounds in the past year. &nbsp;The BREAK is OVER. &nbsp;</p>
<p>So here I am. &nbsp;Back again.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This time around, I have a work out partner. &nbsp;</p>
<p>She's not a blogger. &nbsp;And she's pretty private. &nbsp;So I've asked her to blog about her experience with getting healthy 'ANONYMOUSLY'.&nbsp;</p>
<p>She's an amazing person on the inside and out.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But not everyone in the world is as open as I am! hahaha. (TRUE THAT.)</p>
<p>So, without further ado..please meet my friend. &nbsp;</p>
<p>All I ask of you...is to let her breathe. &nbsp;Let her share her story...HER way.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Welcome her with open arms. &nbsp;Cause after all?</p>
<p>We're all in the together.</p>
<p>xoxoxoxo - Now BRING ON the Skinny Butts.</p>

Except with my weight. &nbsp;Internally&nbsp;I am a sassy, gorgeous, influential, women who is a completive athlete and powerful professional. &nbsp;Externally... I weigh as much as two 17 year old athletes. &nbsp; I have decided this year... I'm getting my body back! &nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I decided to try HCG diet because I have several friends who have seen great success on it! &nbsp;I have &nbsp;tried several different versions of the HCG diet and I have found that Anumed is the best version so far! &nbsp;I am on day 7 and lost 6.5lbs and 7 total inches. &nbsp;I still have a very long way to go but I am making a dent!</p>
<p>Each day I am going to share my journeys past and present. &nbsp;I have lived and carried a lot of life for the last 29 years... &nbsp;Let the stories and tears begin, while I shed the pounds and inches...</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Day 10.</p>
<p>&nbsp;I'm down 8.5lbs and should be jumping for joy but instead I'm mad at myself. &nbsp;You see, I fell&nbsp;into a trigger today and completely cheated tonight. &nbsp;Not because I was hungry or couldn't control my cravings... &nbsp;Because I like to self sabotage myself when I'm doing well or on track to my goals.</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We forget to talk about at times how much of a mental game it is when we are on the weight loss journey. &nbsp;We gain weight not because we are hungry, or in need of food. &nbsp;We gain weight and get to this road because of some self destructive mental block or self-defeating thought. &nbsp;For me, it was that I didn't deserve happiness and love so I use my weight to hide from the things I want most in life. &nbsp;It's sad to think that the things keeping me from my goals are myself. &nbsp;Today was another valuable learning day through my journey. &nbsp;I push myself soo hard in my professional life that I don't always have the most realistic expectations of myself. &nbsp;When I fall short of those things I have zero tolerance for the lack of achieving results, when I really just need to understand that I am human. &nbsp;There is no such thing as perfection and to be the best me I can be, I have to be realistic and patient. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp; So in a hate moment, I cheated and tomorrow morning I will pay the price. &nbsp;In the mean time I am now aware of another trigger opportunity and know how to better overcome it next time. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Bring on day 11! &nbsp;I will prove to you how strong I really am!</p>

<p>Anyway.&nbsp; She has CRAZY naturally curly RED hair.&nbsp; She use to be a bigtime runner...</p>

<p>Love you Sis.</p>
<p>Anyway-my reason for checking in.&nbsp;</p>
<p>OperationSkinnyBUtt.</p>
<p>Yep.&nbsp; I hit a great milestone this morning!</p>
<p>I started this round of my diet on Monday... started the VLCD on Wednesday... from Wed to this morning I am down 5.8 lbs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now.. mind you-on the HCG diet you can lose up to a pound a day.</p>
<p>I'm right on track-but after the first couple days it starts to balance out..then you only lose between a 1/4th and an lb. a day.</p>
<p>So.. the RELEASE so far?&nbsp; I'll TAKE it.</p>
<p>Yes.&nbsp; It's a release.&nbsp; I refuse to say 'lose'.</p>
<p>Why?&nbsp; Cause when you 'lose' something-you go in search of it to find it again.</p>
<p>And I bet my SkinnyButt that I REFUSE to find it again.</p>
<p>I am now the lowest I've been since I had my baby.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I have 14.2 lbs to go till I hit my 'What?&nbsp; I'm Pregnant?' weight.</p>
<p>And to be at my utmost happiest?&nbsp; Yeah.. the day I married my husband...&nbsp; I have 24.2 lbs to go.</p>
<p>Hmmm.&nbsp;</p>
<p>My goal is 20 lbs by the 4th of July week.</p>
<p>Move over FAT Joey.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hot Mama moving in.</p>

My. Gosh.</p>
<p>I feel like I might just throw up.</p>
<p>If you know anything about the HCG diet-you know the first 2 days of the diet are called 'loading' days.</p>
<p>Meaning... you do just that.&nbsp; You eat as much fats as you possibly can.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Today is the 2nd day of loading-before hitting the VLCD.&nbsp; (Very low calorie diet).</p>
<p>I have to admit-I'm looking forward to it.&nbsp; I feel awful.&nbsp; I've eaten such NASTY crap.</p>
<p>Just ate a 1/4 cheeseburger from Wendy's and fries.&nbsp; Oh-and not to mention a strawberry shake.</p>
