I have been forming a habit of cheating..finding excuses to eat and yesterday I cried and cried to my husband I want this so bad that I don't think I can do it..does that make sense I am on my 25 day and still only lost 15lbs knowing that I could be celebrating my 25lbs of weight loss it's frustrating knowing that I am form a bad habit.. today I start my TOM and still taking my injections and doing the apple a day thing seeing if this helps me lose something it's my own fault but I dont knwo what to do so frustrated!!!!

Today I decided that I will get off of HCG until February 27, which is next Monday I lost 12lbs knowing that I could of lost 20 or 30lbs if I didn't cheat so frustrated!!!!!!!

When I start HCG do I have to load again for 2 (two) days..keep me in your prayers thank you.............

Sweetie sending you hugs. I am in the same boat. I have not been able to do a round properly in a long, long time and don't know what the issue is. But I have not done enough VLCDs to quit now. I am sure you will do fine on P3 and beyond. If your P3 lasts under 14 days then you don't have to load if you decide to go back to P2. If you don't go back to P2 in 14 days (say you decide on day #15 to go back) then you have to load as if you were starting a new round. Remember that P3 lasts for 21 days a break is anything less than 14 days. Good luck!!

So I am doing P3 for 21 days then I resume with my HCG shots for Round 2?How do I know how many calories to eat?

No. If you are completing this round, then P3 lasts 21 days and you do P4 for 21 days. Have you read Pounds and Inches? You should do that to get the gist of what you need to do. Also read this for P3:

Phase 3 information for HCG diet

and another link on what to do:

HCG diet short form

I wish you luck and stabilization!!!

i know you're feeling down, but i think that you still did great! 15 pounds in 25 days is still very good. very few people actually lose 1 whole pound per day so even if you had not cheated you still may not have lost 25 pounds in 25 days. i had difficulty sticking to protocol this round as well...

You did what you could do and I for one don't think you should be feeling bad about it. Okay, you didn't do it perfectly, BUT It's a victory that you managed to do the days you did and the weight loss you achieved. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Be true to the plan for the P3 part and make the weight loss you did get to STICK, girl!

I am off HCG but not on my low calorie diet I want to repeat my round and just continue my shots on Wednesday and go back to my 500 calorie diet without going into phase 3 does that make sense
