I feel great except for some hunger last night. I think I may have eaten a little too close to when I did my drops and probably could have left them set under my tongue a little longer. I notice they don't sting as much as they did at first, though. Could that be that I'm getting used to them or do you think they're losing potency?

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! You're all rocking this diet and it's an inspiration!

LOL! Isn't is delightful? Great job!

You're doing awesome!!!

Somebody mentioned the other day tapping the bottom of your bottle 10 times to activate - since I've started doing that I'm feeling the tingle again.

OMG! That's GREAT! good for you!

Anyone have tips on how to ween my son? LOL I really want to start this! Plus, I breastfeed him only about 50% of the time...really just to put him to sleep. Is that selfish of me? I just am really anxious to start feeling good about myself again.

Put Kool aid in his bottle, then he wont want breastmilk!

Congrats everyone on the great releases!!!!

Nicolope ~ The only thing I can think of is you are not activating the bottle before doing the drops. You're supposed to hit the bottom of the bottle 10x off your palm to activate the hhcg. Great losses!

[Robin597]

Ok everybody I am on my second day of loading and I am havinmg a problem. My HHCG drops say to put 10 drops under the tongue 3x per day. I am doing this but finding it impossible not to swallow a good portion of them. It is it ok to swallow them? I suppose I could do a couple drops, wait five minutes and do a couple more drops wait five minutes ........ Anybody else have this problem? Also do I wait 15 mins or 30 mins to eat or drink something? Thanks

I was going to have my Ezekiel bread today, but didn't get a chance to go to Whole foods yesterday, so tomorrow I'm going to have my DD multi-grain bagel with breakfast. Hopefully I'll get a round of golf in tomorrow and it will offset that 400 calorie bagel.

Everyone have a great and INTENTIONAL day.

so happy for you!!!

I put them under my tongue and just don't swallow as long as I can stand it - maybe a minute or two, and then swallow. Maybe someone else does it differently?

I really struggled with this at first as well, but it does get easier and now I can hold all of my 15 drops okay

I've forced myself to swill some pretty awful stuff over the years in my quest for health, but I really REALLY hope the hHCG doesn't taste like crap! Guess I'll find out tomorrow morning!!!!

Can't wait!!!

It doesn't! It's got a little alcohol taste but that's it!

I don't think its bad at all. It tingles, but other than that nothing!

Happy Releasing and Stabilizing Everyone and TGIF!!!

I had a 0.2lb release this morning

Originally I was going to stop at day 23 (I'm on VLCD day 19 now) But idk, I'm so close to the 130's I think I may keep going until I get there.
I think things will move faster once TOM is out of the way too. I'll settle for 139.8.........only 4.6 more lbs to go!!

I'm with ya...not as close, but the 130s is my goal.

The 130's was was my goal for this round, my ultimate goal is about 115 - 125 (I'm short, so this small frame can hold too much weight)
So I'll see if I can get into the 130's this round, then I'll do P3 for 3-4 weeks and cycle back to P2 to get the last of the weight off.

How tall are you? I'm 5' 2-1/2" if I stand up real straight! lol

5'1 maybe 5'1 1/2 on some days :0)

[Selahgal]

I take digestive bitters! Talk about a KICK. A tingle will be NO PROBLEM!

Did you all go buy scales that measure in tenths???? Mine only measures in half pounds. Should I buy a better one???

That is what I have learned. More fat than protein. My cottage cheese was bought for P2, so I did use the lowfat 1% kind, otherwise I would have used full fat. I am so satisfied with this kind of menu--I get to eat all my favorites from my Atkins days and then some!! I have been including some bacon in my morning but don't have it every day. Makes things quite fun!! I love bacon! I also love the strawberries topped with the Land O Lakes Sugar free whipped cream, drizzled with a touch of Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup!! My favorite treat ever!! Yesterday for lunch I had a hamburger with sliced cheese--deelish topped with a few pickle slices and mayo/mustard.

My scale measures in 0.2 increments. I bought a new scale specifically for this diet. My scale also measures body fat and body water %. It's cool to see when there is no release or a gain, but an increase in water weight.........exactly where those lbs went.

Mine measures in 2/10 which is nice but I don't know that I'd buy one especially for that.

[Nicolope]

Talking about measurements and sizes...I'm a weird one.

I'm 5'5" and when I weigh 150 pounds, I'm a size 4. Right now, at 194, I'm a size 12. It's crazy. I'd love to see 149 on this diet, but the last time I got there (for like a day) I looked emaciated. So, we'll see.


Thanks for the tip about tapping the bottle. I tried that and it did tingle more.

For homeopathic drops you only need to hold them under your tongue for 30 seconds. I got to a point where I would do a minute, but 30 seconds is plenty!! Don't worry about swallowing them--I end up swallowing what is leftover after I drop too. And I ALWAYS waited 30 before AND after the drops to eat or drink ANYTHING--and that to me included water!!!

Ha! Talk aboiu weird.....I'm down to 144 now and am just getting into a size 6. At my highest weight of 198 I wore a 16 but refused to buy that size so I stuffed myself in a 14 If only I could just grow about 5 inches.....

[kerbear879]

I have a weight watchers digital scale that i bought nearly 5 years ago when I first started to lose weight. At the time I weighed 340 pounds so i needed a scale that would weigh that high and it just so happens to weigh in 1/10 increments. I still have never changed the battery and it is still very close to what my doctor's scale is. I love it!

[kerbear879]

As for sizes, back in high school I had weighed around 180 and was a size 18..then I gained all that weight, lost it all, got back down to 180 and was a size 12/14. Just found it so weird that it was 6 sizes smaller even though I was the same weight. Right now I am in a size tight 16 and very loose 18. I just wanna get down to a size 8 or 10.

All about vanity sizing. I know there is no way at my weight would I be a size 6 if it were back in the day. As a matter of fact I have an old pair of jeans that are a size 11/12 that I can still fit. I mean they are loose on me, but the point is I can still wear them.
