There are some awesome recipes on this forum which have already kept my daily food intake interesting, so much so that even my kids are happy to eat what I cook. Keep the good work up this is a journey to living and one that is truly worth the time and effort from what I can see.....check with me in 40 days and see if I am saying the same

WOWOWOWOWOW 9.2 in 5 days already!? Whoo freaking Hoo! that is awesome stats for the first week! I am on vlcd8 and only down 11, which is still great to me! I am sick, and did spend the weekend alone in my house. I made great cabbage rolls, but they were so great I probably ate too many of them! I am sick and stayed home from work today, I am hoping the sickness will help me NOT have an appetite so I don't eat too much again! I had small losses and even a goose egg in the first week.. i gotta get my head back into it... But still feeling good with a fixed .8 loss this morning. TMI but I feel a bit constipated as well, hopefully I'll pass something and that will help.

I feel like I should go back to the boring ole meals until the end because when I tried something new like cabbage rolls, and I like them so much I eat tooooo many of them. haha

I saw the recipe for cabbage rolls too, mmmm yum yum yum, might only make a couple so I dont go crazy and eat them all You are doing really well mbliss, do you think cos this is your second round that things slow down a little? Hope you start to feel better soon, stay tucked up in bed with a huge bottle of water and a good book

Carolyn, well, I am on Day 8 and only down 11lbs. This morning marks 2 stalls for the first and second week already. I am not getting discouraged, but it does suck mentally to think I haven't lost anything although I was on protocol. I did have to take gel tablets and it is recommended not to on the P2.

And, as for the Round 2 thing, I started very strong in the first 3 days... Then I stalled, and got a .2 loss, a .8, then another stall... So.. I think it is my fault because I was having mostly beef and a bit more than protocol so... In that sense I think I just destroyed myself some days. I am pretty sure that as I get closer to my goal (at 189.8 today - Goal 160) that it will slow down tremendously ... I hope it doesn't but I expect it from what I read.. And that's on ANY diet, not just hcg.

I really hope to get some losses in the morning, and kind of mentally reset... It has already been a very difficult week for me... Just got to keep thinking it is only 5 more to go.
