I am on the 6 week HCG diet now, but plan to go gluten-free afterwards. I have heard so much about weight loss if you give up the wheat products. I hope to get to the 170's by the end of the HCG, then the glute-free for 6 weeks, then back to HCG. I won't make my goal by my birthday (October 31st - trick-or-treat) but hopefully by Thanksgiving. Keep up the good work and maybe we can both get close by our October birthdays!
