Starting HCG

My bff Miss A and i have known each other since middle school. We have both struggled with weight our whole lives and now that we are in our 20's, we have decided to take charge and change our lives. Today we're starting the HCG Diet. After years of counting calories and trying numerous diets that i either couldn't stick too OR worked and then i gained it all back, i'm finally ready to take the plunge and change my lifestyle for good! I know why i eat, its usually because i'm bored. I love the taste of food, i'd rather eat than drink, but i need to eat the right foods to FUEL my body instead of just run it. 
For the first 2 days of HCG, Miss A and i can eat whatever we want while taking the drops. Starting Monday we are beginning the rigorous 500 calorie a day diet of veggies, lean meat and fruits. Good thing i love those foods so it shouldn't be too hard taste wise, it'll be the amount that's difficult, but we've both joined a facebook support group and so far the feedback is that the drops take care of the hunger. Hopefully thats the case.. i'll keep you posted. Below are my before pictures and measurements.
