Yay! I gained 2 pounds while out of town, which was a bummer, but again, it was a known risk, so I dealt with it. Today, after a full day on my new drops, not only are those two pounds gone, but so are an additional two! Whoop! Whoop! As this is the end of the 1st week, I know that the losses will slow WAY down this next week, so this was a nice boost. I have SO MUCH to do today to get ready for the week, as it is the last day of our spring break. There is A LOT of school stuff that I have been ignoring all week, and now I need to deal with them...oh well. Only 10 weeks until Summer...

[Arctic_Mama]

Hi ladies! I'm doing good here, R2P2VLCD3 and down 5.0 pounds. I was hungry a bit yesterday and the day before but other than head hunger I am good today. Hopefully I'll get in a workout, too.

[LoriSax]

I weighed 132.4 today, so I maintained, and am perfectly happy with that!! This weight is where my LDW was the last time I did HCG, and I still have about 8 days to go on the drops. Sometimes, since I am happy with this weight, and it is the lowest I have been since I was 30 years old,(I am 48), I want to just go into P3. But, I am not going too, I am going to keep going. I just do not have the drive this time like I did the last time! I keep telling myself I can have that later, but it doesn't always make me want to keep going. plus, LOTION, I need LOTION!!!!!!

Lori - Have you found that lotion hindered the loss? I got a pedicure Friday and wasn't thinking they put the oil & lotion on me. It didn't affect it that I can tell. I've lost 2 pounds per day since. I use Aveeno lotion at home. I cannot go without it!

[Doing It Right]

Natasha- Great loss!!

Kay- Good luck getting things ready for school, and getting back on the HCG Train!

Taryl- Nice Losses! Hope the hunger stays gone!

Lori- Keep fighting the fight! P3 will be here before you know it!

Well ladies, I just finished my last P2 meal! Yay!! So excited to start P3 tomorrow morning.
I'll be posting on the P3 thread starting tomorrow but wanted to thank you all for the support and encouragement you give here. I hope you all finish your round strong, have amazing losses, and that I see you in P3 land soon.

Wow thats good to know, I use vasoline but it makes my lips peel (gross)

Ok so total loss this round with a two week break is 27 lbs. I'm going to stop now cuz I've had two zero days since Friday and I think I mentally need a break, and some comfort in food as far as stress and all. Note to self; when doing an interrupion dont load again. lol
Biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow and I want to cancel it and run far away. But I will go. EEICK. Thats all I have to say, lol. Theres nothing wrong I know this in my heart. Better to know now than later. Ugg. I'm trying to talk myself into being okay but I'm afraid that im scared now.

[BaileysGirl]

Lara - I always feel like I'd rather just not know either but for your health and safety I guess you should know. Good luck on that!

Well I'm down .5 this morning. After 2 days of 2 pounds each day I'm not complaining one bit! I'm sure the loss will slow drastically in this 2nd week. Have a great day all!

[Doing It Right]

Lara- Praying it goes well for you tomorrow! I think it's smart to move to P3, you don't need the added stress of trying to diet this week. Take care of YOU! Hope to see you in the P3 thread!

Natasha- Your rocking this round! Go get em girl!

I'm officially P3 today... but wanted to check on yall! Down another .8, for 1.6 wiggle room. Kinda wish I would have stuck it out another couple days since the scale read 119.8 this morning, LOL!

Hop yall have a great day!

[MsHistory]

I found you guys! And, thanks to a St. Patty's day of gluttony, it looks like I will be sticking with you guys for a while longer than I had planned. But I feel SO SO SO much better mentally, even with the 5 (AHHH!!) pound gain. I have hated every minute of R2 so far, and can't wait to get it behind me!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

[MsHistory]

Those of you who up your protein, do you still make sure to stay under 500 calories?

[SueQ]

I eat extra protein and don't stay under 500 calories. I don't count them regularly but think I come in around 800 calories per day.

[dawnyama]

Ok. Since I have MIA last week, I will post here. And I hope to stick around this time. It was my DS's birthday on Friday and I went on a field trip out of town with my 11 yr old DD. So we had so much eating out to do that I quit the drops for a few days, gained weight, BUT got back on the drops this morning and am ready to do a full round. I am excited for a new week and a new thread!!!!

Onward to more losses!!!!

Natasha--You are rocking it girl!!! Way to go!!! Hope to join you tomorrow with that big of a drop

[LoriSax]

I was up a tiny bit from 132.4, to 133. I guess today was my LDW. I am down to where I want to be, and I am going to go to my 2 days w/o drops. I have been on the drops for 14 days. The Platinum X-30 are just not working well for me. I have headaches everyday, think about food constantly, and am just really tired. It is making me more stressed out, so I am going to go into
P3. My round will just be a little shorter!!
Lori

LaraSuz, I am praying for you!

[solostar44]

Hey! Count me in on the thread!
I have started at 178 and i have yo-yo'd up and down from there to 149 over the past 2 years. I finally decided to do hcg, and i'm on VLCD12. Started at 165.2, and i'm down to 152.8 as of today. the lowest i remember being is 147 before a vacation, went on vacation and came back weighing 159! so it feels good to almost be back there! Hope everyone is having great releases!

[BaileysGirl]

Hey Dawn! Glad to have you back! I can only hope this week is decent as I know it slows way down in weeks 2 and 3.

Shaleka - Glad to have you! Looks like you're doing great!!!

Lori - Congrats on moving to P3! It's my favorite!

[timsbeloved]

Hi ladies! I'm checking in since I am starting R2. I am really pleased the way R1 went. I lost a total of 31 pounds. P3/4 stabilizing went great. I am starting R2 1# less that my R1 LDW. I am excited to be doing a 2nd round. Praying it goes as well as the last one.

Angie

[moonriver]

Starting loading for R4 today. I am 2 lbs over my LDW from last round, so I am a happy camper!!! Want to make some real progress this round. I'm doing the HCG instead of HHCG this round. Curious to see if I feel any differences.

I was out of town for work last week and only gained .8, did an egg day yesterday and hit the top of my window. And I did a bit of chips and candy last week out of boredom, but was able to keep it to a little bit instead of bags and bags as I would have done in the past. Pretty pleased overall. Gonna slather on the lotion and eat a ton of fat!!!

Have a good day everyone!

[BaileysGirl]

Glad you're back Moon & Angie!

Down another .5 today...Got on the scale about 6 times til it went from 187.5 to 188 to 187! Crazy scale! Have a great day ya'll!

[MsHistory]

Natasha - My scale does that too and it's infuriating! WHICH ONE IS IT?!!? Haha

Down 2.0 today, which is a nice sized drop thanks to all the binge eating I did this weekend. I also got the Intermountain HCG, which I'm excited about because I think mine was old and I was having the exact same problems as Lori with the new Platinum. It's strange though, because it doesn't have any alcohol in it... hopefully it works wonders though and R2 picks up QUICK!

I'm eating much more protein now, and feel much better. The losses may be artificial, though, since I did such a number this weekend. Hopefully the scale will keep being kind.

Happy Tuesday!

[LaraSuzz]

My allergies are so bad that I cant remember if I posted yet or not lol.
Down 1 lb and 24 hours to go before p3.

Hope everyone has a great day =)

[Doing It Right]

Wanted to see how everybody's doing!
I just finished P3D2, feeling good, still below LDW. I think I'm having an affair with GY!
Hope you all see nice losses in the morning!

Lara- How did it go at the Dr? Hope all is well and your taking care of you right now! Great job on the lb, wiggle room!

Tonya

[moonriver]

Day 2 of loading. Gained 4 pounds my first day!

Onward and then downward

[BaileysGirl]

Morning! Stayed the same this morning...No popcorn today...Have a great day!

[MsHistory]

Cheated again yesterday, what the heck? I was planning on extending this round, but I think I need to eat clean for a couple days and then head for P3. Something about that 21 day mark that sucks the willpower from me... Plus I was STARVING yesterday, what gives?!?!

Only up .2, thank goodness. And thank goodness that $%#&* cake is finally gone! Going to keep it clean today with extra protein. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Yes, I went yesterday and its all done... My boob is sore and I'm taking it easy, it was so funny I was trying to talk the doctor out of doing the biopsy just before he did it but no luck lol now I wait for results I will update on Monday or Tuesday.

[Arctic_Mama]

Hey ladies! After two days of essentially no loss I am down almost three pounds today, which is excellent news. So we're at 7.8 pounds in six days, and pretty much all the loading weight is off. I was hoping to make it into the 160's this round but unless the losses pick up it might be tough. Still, all I can do is stay on plan and the weight takes care of itself!

I didn't realize that you were on P2. That is great!! I know you are going to do well. Congrats on getting the load weight off.

[dawnyama]

I am down 1.4 pounds and down further than I was when I left plan last week. So that is good news to me!! I am excited to see what this round has in store for me. I cannot wait to get back down to goal!!
