Mistake: Right before you start round 2 - don't do this!!! - Page 2

Nicole T · 08-11-2011, 12:01 PM

But Red....can't you see that it's NOT going to take you 14 days to recover like you originally said if you only have 2 more lbs to go to get back to where you were

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-11-2011, 02:07 PM

Yes. Yes.

I do see. :-)

I'm hoping for tomorrow - or Saturday.

I need a reminder to look at reality once in a while!!

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-12-2011, 03:04 AM

OK - still two pounds over my set point before I started loading.

Sometimes I wonder if I am one of the more impatient people on the planet.

sigh

catjrow3 · 08-12-2011, 07:17 AM

I could battle you for that title!! I am pretty darn impatient myself.... *hugs*

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-13-2011, 02:32 AM

Okay - Saturday - Day 6. I'm still one pound over set point. Have lost 6 of the 7 I gained loading. Sigh.

catjrow3 · 08-13-2011, 07:52 AM

I was only down 0.2 this morning of the 1 lb up yesterday, so still up 0.8, but it is what it is... should not be water retention today, so maybe its cuz TOM is due in a couple days... booo!! We can do it ladies, just keep on pushing.

nmbnancy · 08-13-2011, 09:44 AM

I signed on today after a week vacation and then 3 days extra of wrong, wrong foods, I guess I'm thorough too

So I am loading today & tomorrow and will start a second round Monday. I don't even know what to say about what happened

One thing I know for sure is I need y'all, reading your posts keeps me in the mind set and in control. It's so good to see your friendly faces, I will update my stats after loading.

Nancy,

it's good to see you. I am sorry about your setback. You and I were in Round 1 around the same time. I am now day 16 in Round 2. I had a very stable P3, P4. I know you did too. This site has been a great source of support for me. You'll bounce back in no time.

Good Morning dawnyama. Wow, you have done 7 rounds of hcg???? Have you always done one kind or the other or a variety. I mean injection, drops, pellets, hhcg or hcg?? I'll be doing another round and don't know which product or type to consider for round 2 Thanks for your input

I have only used the homeopathic hcg drops. The brand (the only thing we are allowed to post here) I am currently using is Mediral Weight Loss Formula. I am on VLCD #20 and am down from pre-load weight, 14.4 lbs. But I hear that Mediral has been discontinued. Another brand I have used, and done well with is Evoke.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-14-2011, 07:23 AM

Hey there Nancy, Dazy, and Marie!

Well...reporting in.
I FINALLY got to the set point that I held for 9 weeks on P3 and P4 - (146), after completing 6 VLCD on P2. Whew. So now I have 14 days to lose weight. I know the last pounds come off more slowly. I want to be careful not to set myself up for disappointment.

Working toward that goal, I am thinking about staying away from the scale now and just following protocol carefully.

And...on it goes. :-)

Red, I think that is TERRIFIC progress after only 6 days!! It's down from here

dazygyrl · 08-14-2011, 08:35 AM

Congrats, Red!!

I'm so ready to get back to losing. Vlcd1 is tomorrow. Hope you have great losses in the next 14 days!

nmbnancy · 08-14-2011, 09:02 AM

So glad you're back down and in those skinny jeans! What is your goal this round? I'm glad you are feeling healthy enough to do another round.

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-14-2011, 09:15 AM

Know what? I've been feeling pretty good for a week and a half now. (Which is weird, because I'm trying to play catch up, and I'm struggling with that). It's so funny how we tend to want what we can't have.

After a long time in P3 and P4, you crave that "high" of losing so fast. Waking up another morning and seeing more gone. I'm only a week into this and now I'm starting to think about CHEESE!

LOL

My goal? I'd like to get to 138 so I have some wiggle room, because I'd like my weight to stay at 140.

So, I have 8 pounds to go. Since June first, I have fit into all my clothes.
And that is pretty dang cool.

katiesmemaw · 08-14-2011, 10:14 AM

Thanks for the info dawnyama. We visit Columbia often. Stay at the Barnyard when we are there.

TerriMM · 08-14-2011, 07:55 PM

Great job Red!

RedsSkinnyJeans · 08-16-2011, 03:59 AM

OMG

This is starting to be my venting thread.

Here I am, on day 9 of VLC, and I woke up this morning one pound over my previous set point. That means that after 11 days of HCG dosing, and 9 days of strict protocol, (except some slices of turkey breast), I am still a pound more than when I started.

This is so frustrating!!!

I think the HCG is working, because I have almost no appetite most of the time. The only other factor is that I started my period, (over a week early). And I don't feel any smaller at all!!!

No other choice, I will just keep going. I don't usually "whoosh" until after my period is done. I have a work trip, and my sons wedding coming up. I planned on dosing only through next week. I sure with his would hurry up!!

OK, thanks for letting me vent.

Today's plan: Tons of water, (always do). Good sleep. Strict protocol. sigh
