I have cut back my drops from 10 3x per day to 9 3xper day as I have seen suggested. I am planning on going the whole 40 days - I want to lose 25 lbs - would love to have someone to check in with - and to share the journey. I have told my hubby - and a few bffs - but for the most part - I am going it alone, other than the great people here.
lol - still learning to navigate this site -

Welcome!

hahaha! love this!!

Hi, your doing GREAT! Doesnt look like you need any help! I started my load days today, start VLCD monday. Would love to chit chat

Hi Jennifer! I am feeling great about things today - and so far, other than one gain - its gone well. I soo hope it continues to go well - I have about 4.5lbs. to get to where I had hoped to - but will still be far from thin - so if I go further - i will be thrilled. I have 17 days left on vlcd - so I am keeping my fingers crossed. This is R3 for you? how were your first 2 rounds? I am really nervous about P3 - considering the Leptin reset - but not sure if I can fit my life around that for 6 whole weeks. I am anxious to get back to exercising - but the only time I have available is early a.m. - and that just doesn't work with LR. How much do you hope to lose?
Btw - I am originally from Michigan - Mt. Clemens is where I was born and where I have family - spent lots of time "up north" as a child - love Michigan! good luck tomorrow on day 1!

I will apologize in advance....I am having a poopy day! lol! So if I come across like not a happy person, I normally am! Anyways! Im from Temperance, Mi. You werent to far from me We go up north a few times a yr. (Gaylord @) You are truly doing an amazing job! You will def hit your goal weight, which is AMAZING! I hope I can push thru like your doing. Its always easier said then done. I just had my tubes tied on thur so I still kinda down in the dumps....I hope it passes soon. Makes me wanna EAT! lol I did do 2 rounds b4. Both injections, so this is my 1st time doing the drops, which i guess I am a lil skeptical to be honest :/ I lost 50 lbs the 1st 2 rounds and kept it off until like a month ago, which Ive gained 10lbs back. (Mostly water weight....I can feel it in my hands) I have 30 lbs I wanna lose! Just seems easier said then done. (I think I feel this way today only....last night I was rearin to go!)

wow! 50lbs - that is tremendous!! and to have kept most of it off for this long is truly inspiring! Sorry you are down in the dumps - not surprising after having your tubes tied and being under anesthesia. Why did you switch to drops this time? I kinda wish I had done injections- or at least had "real" hcg - not that I don't believe in homeopathics - just that I know there is an element of "if" there - and would rather not have left it to chance. I am still learning this site - and I just stumbled on your response - is there a way to know if someone has replied to a post? ugh - I was reading a thread this morning - and it was really interesting - and now I can't find it. I thought I had tagged it - but apparently not.
you can get thru the hunger - you will feel so much better when you are losing again - you remember that feeling of trying on a new smaller size...won't that feel great! Focus on that - and you will be fine!
soo miss my "up north" days! I still have family in Michigan - and visit often - funny - soo flat! I live in the hills of Ohio now.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow!
