no I don't know anyone local that has lost weight on HCG, but I am sure there are some. My main concern is to get real HCG and the right dose, because if it doesnt work I am going to be so disappointed. Can I ask you where you get your HCG from? I really would like to go to a doctor to get it, but when I look online I find so many of them and I am not sure which are real.
