New and what to do

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 06:02 PM

Hello everyone, i am new at this and am looking for advice.

first things first, who i am. i am 35, 280 pounds, pretty solid but out of shape. belly fat etc.

doctor gave me testosterone injections, 100mg per week. also taking vitamin b shots, 5ml per week for 12 weeks.

doctor uped my test to 200 mg per week, 100mg 2 times a week. I also was given cytomel 25mg pills to take one per day.

I will also be starting the hcg diet tomorrow.

I was wondering if i should up my test or stick with what i am taking and what i should see after taking this combo.

Please if anyon has advice i would appreciate it much. i have tried looking in the internet but there is so much out there that i am confused.

please help. ty

Sounds like you are on TRT for symptoms of low T? I am assuming the doc ran labs? Do not adjust anything until your doc gets your TRT dialed in. It will take at least 90 days before your doc gets you leveled out.

he only tested blood, i got my igf1 levels tested this week. test levels were never tested yet.

im trying to lose weight so he seems like a cool doc.

just was curious if this combo sounded right?

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 06:51 PM

i know i tested in the lower range of the ok side. he just seems to know what im looking for and seems to be helping me out.

Welcome! If you need nutritional help then please come to the Nutrition section. There are members there ready to help you.
How long do you think you will be on the restricted Hcg food plan? Are you planning on the 500 calories? When you are ready to wean off this low calorie plan, the Nutritional section is a good bet.

**Bio-Active** · 11-26-2012, 06:56 PM

So why did he put you on testosterone then?

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 06:56 PM

**SlimmerMe** · 11-26-2012, 06:57 PM

How tall are you? and do you have any idea your BF%?

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 06:58 PM

i was sluggish, always tired, and i asked for it.

my question is will i see results from this and is it good dosage?

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 06:59 PM

im 5 foot 7 and 46bmi i think.

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 07:00 PM

let me think,, they did a test today, lady said i didnt have a high BF%, well high but im pretty solid underneith, lol/ im sure many fat people say that but she said i should be able to shed easy

**Bio-Active** · 11-26-2012, 07:02 PM

Hard to say depends on what your levels were to start. How many injections have you done?

^^ IMO? this is too high to be put on test right now as you could get side effects you do not want. It might be best to get your BF down quite a bit first plus many here are not keen on eating only 500 calories a day. This will slow down your metabolism. I know a bit of tuff love but the truth especially doing so for 43 days.

You could do yourself a big favor by coming over to the Nutritional forum and learn to eat. It will change your life. The HCG program could be a quick fix no doubt. And if a matter of trying to jump start I understand this. But in the big picture learning to eat will go much further.

Please consider this.

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 07:04 PM

only 3 injections so far at 100 mg per week. he just uped me to 200 per week 100 twice a week. i have a 2 month supply so far

From personnel experience slim is giving solid advice. When i first came in to this game i was 5'4 and about 175. Now i am weighing between 135-140 and look bigger than i did at 175.

i agree slimmerme. i just need a boost, i have been big all my life and want to get down to where i can feel good and go get healthier and work out and eat better. i think this will help me get started and yes i will have to learn to eat right. i was thinking surgery but dont want to go that rout.

**robkar** · 11-26-2012, 07:08 PM

well i started at 305 and have been working out a bit and eating a bit better, im down 25 pounds and feel much stronger. i was taking hgh for 3 moths prior but it was black market and not really sure what was really in there if you know what i mean. so i went to the doc to get real stuff. i feel great when i work out and def notice better looking body. more of a v shape and arms getting bigger. just cant really pass 280 right now so was hoping for a boost.

**Bio-Active** · 11-26-2012, 07:09 PM

Get over to the diet forum bro and post up those macros. You wont be disjointed.

Many here have wanted a quick fix. Hey we all do as a matter of fact I bet! However, this is all up to you as to your approach. All I can say is that I have seen many people here including myself transform by learning baby steps as we change habits which will last a life time.

You might also ask all of this in the HRT section to get more input.

Good luck to you!
