about the hcg diet and love handles

Question: Hello again, I have a few questions about my body fat. I have lost almost 70 pounds so far but my belly and my love handles are still there. My belly and love handles have gone down a lot but its not matching the way my lower body has lost. My question is if i should stop taking the hcg and work it off or keep taking it? I'm weighing 221 pounds today and my goal weight is 180. My friends that are on the diet too are telling me to stop when i run out of hcg then work out. What do you think i should do and will the belly and love handles go away if i keep going to my goal weight taking the Hcg? Thank you so much and i hope to hear back from you soon. Ajsanz69 Answer: Keep going. Don't stop. Skin absorption can lag 2 to 3 weeks. You won't completely firm up until you stop and go 2 to 3 weeks. Why take a break and put that off? Get to your goal and then come off properly. It will all absorb just fine. You can always work out again in your new post hCG lifestyle. Keep going!! Dan
