LOL I know- I over-analyze everything. one of my biggest faults. sigh.. it makes me tired.

I hear ya!!! I first bought the drops...then I bought the pellets...still trying to decide which one. Then I was going to load on the 30th and 31st..then realized we have a wedding to attend on the 8th and a wine/food pairing class on the 10th of Jan....geez! Now I am thinking I should wait until the 11th to start...

I am just SO ready to do something and trying not to set myself of for failure.

Depends on the shelf life of my rx injections, I will either be loading on Christmas or New Years. Either way I will be in your P2 club!

I've been reading this board for the last few days. I went ahead and ordered hhcg the other day. I'm planning on loading the 30th and 31st for my very first round. If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

[salaunsox2000]

I'm in. I'll load the 31st and the 1st. Yum! Can't wait for the non guilty feasting!

Just be sure to eat sensibly until your load days. No sense in having to lose extra weight! And join in one of the weekly threads for extra support.

Hello all,

Ive been reading up on the plan and learning. Ive decided that i will be taking on this plan Jan 1...Im all keyed up about it..hehe

[toomuchbooty]

I really hope to start up on January 1st, but I'm waiting for drops that are likely to be delayed by the holidays. I have about 1/4 a bottle left, I might just start and call it an interruption if my other drops don't come in time. By my calculations, 1/4 of a bottle should last me 8 days based on my previous usage of 3/4 a bottle over 25 days. Any math nerds want to confirm?

[tempted_by_food]

Yea a 2oz bottle lasted me 30 days.

I had a 2oz Fusion bottle that only lasted me 19 days what is up with that?

[tempted_by_food]

I have heard that before regarding the fusion drops, mines were Intermountainhcg, I took 10 drops 3 times a day and it lasted 30 days.

I was really disappointed that they ran out before I was done my 21 days, now I have the intermountain drops so I will have enough for another full round. I just thought that a drop was a drop

[toomuchbooty]

Well, I've only been using 8 drops 3 times a day...so that's part of it. Jabbok, I'm sure it has to do with the dropper itself.

[CurveControl]

Um, If nothing else convinced me that another round is needed soon then the pics DD posted on facebook from this past weekend would have done it.

[toomuchbooty]

Don't fret Molly, we will get there!

I was doing 10 drops 3X a day with the fusion, I was doing 8 to 10 drops 3X a days with the intermountain drops but the intermountain drops seem to be lasting alot longer. It must be the dropper size.

I am glad that your drops lasted through your 1st round, hopefully you will get the replacement ones soon.

[MellaBella]

I'll be joining you all on January 3. It will be my second round, but will admit that I gained back most of the weight from my 1st round that I did in August. I just didin't follow P3 like I should have.

Anyway, very psyched to start in January and join you all. Until then I am trying to eat low carb....

I have 30-35 lbs. I want to lose.

[j4Christ]

I am starting another round on Jan. 3rd. I won't necessarily be loading on the 1st and 2nd (been doing enough of that sort of eating anyway:blush, but look forward to losing the last of this weight.

Right now I am 1 lb. above LDW of R1, however, I had lost 7 more lbs. on a 2 week cycle that I did and have gained that back. OHHH, the holidays!!!

See everyone in Jan. (I will mainly post in the Alternative thread as I tweaked my plan a bit). Enjoy the rest of the year!!

Hellooo! I started this thread a few weeks ago and then disappeared due to work craziness and some travel. I'm back now and SO ready to start P2 on the 1st! Actually, I'm having my first load meal the evening of 12/31 since it's my birthday. Cuban food. Yes!

I just got back from Vegas and managed to not only maintain, but LOSE. I weighed in at 2# below my LDW this morning. Truthfully, I'm totally amazed. I ate well and totally on plan except for 1/2 of a creme brulee one evening.

I'm already thinking about what I want to eat this weekend. LOL I'm so excited that we have such good sized group forming.

Quick question for those that have done this before ... did you drink diet soda in P2? My first round was super strict Dr. Simeons, but I just wonder if diet soda would really hurt me.

[minimonkey]

I'm in!

Assuming my drops (and book, I hope) get here by NYE, I will start with you. I'm an HCG newbie.... doing a lot of reading. A veteran LC-er, but been WAY off the wagon, and ready for something new. I want to lose about 15 lbs or so.

If I don't get the drops by the first, I will start when I get them. I don't think I am going to do a loading phase (my normal fat stores are fine, thanks) but I will eat normally for two days, and then start the vlcd.

[CelticFan]

Yep! Loading on the 30th/31st. Can't wait.

[sassy_red]

I'm restarting P2 January 1!!! I've been SO BAD these last two months it's not even funny, but I'm back in the wagon next weekend!!!

[minimonkey]

So nice to have a group of us starting together! How many of us are newbies to HCG vs. veterans?

I can't wait for the drops to get here.. it is like waiting for Santa as a kid :blush:

[JeniferCA]

This will be my second round and I can't wait! I did a 26 day round last time (23 days on drops + 3 vlcd days) and lost 21 pounds. I had a rough time maintaining the first two weeks of P3 (although I was never more than 3.5# over my LDW), but after that mark everything fell into place and I've been at my LDW (or just below) for the last few weeks.

I'm so excited to see the scale move downward again!

Sassy! Nice to see you back on the boards! I've wondered where you've been and how you are doing! Good luck in your next round. Post often.

I will!! I felt bad because for the holidays I went off BIG TIME, so much so I think I've gained it all back But I know HCG can get it off so I'm looking forward to January 1!

LOL you sound like me when I first started in July!! Went 2 rounds and got from 218 to 192, but for the holidays I went, er, overboard a teensy bit. I have two nearly full bottles of the NHL HCG though and look forward to a new year and a fresh start!

[WomanOfGod]

Hello Ladies!

I actually started loading yesterday and today (had a tooth pulled today) so I got a lot of fatty foods in before the dentist visit). So I am not that far ahead of you all. I hope you all don't mind me joining you. I will start my VLCD tomorrow because of the tooth being pulled I'm not supposed to eat a lot of hard foods. Decided to start now because I can have a small amount of food on VLCD (soft eggs). Oh by the way, I lost 35 pounds in August and gained it all back I look forward to losing with you all. I will be using the pellets this round to see how they work!

I did a round back in Aug/Sept. and lost 13 lbs. then I cycled and did a 2 week round (tweaked) and lost 7 more lbs. but I have gained back the 7 lbs. BUT have remained in my LDW window from my 1st round. Can't wait to get going again!!

everyone!!

DH and I have been planning my loading menu. For sure there will be Ribeye and Cheesecake involved.

I have some sort of 'before' pics because of christmas.
I am just really not one for measuring. It is very hard to always hit the same spot and same tension with the measuring tape, But I may do some basic areas with DH's help like:
breasts
stomach
waist
hips
upper arms
Thighs

Do you measure both upper arms and both thighs or just figure they are about the same?

When I worked at Nutri System (20 years ago LOL) we measured clients and always just measured their dominant side. (Right handed we measured right side, left handed we measured left side)

last round I measured what you listed, this round I am doing both sides (for more " lost lol)

I am super jealous of all you that still get to load! I am on VLCD3 and missing the load I always load and nothing sounds good until I start the VLCD and then I'm thinking...I should have had this and that... :P

I am the same way! During my first round, I made a list of all the foods I was missing and planned to eat during my next load. Funny because now that my 'next load' is only days away, nothing from the original list even sounds good!
