Thread: April Loaders: Are there any P2 Grammies Groupies?

HI,

I started my load days on Saturday and Sunday (4/16-4/17) and I am having an extremely hard time. I have cheated on these first 2 days of VLCD because I a get EXTREMELY hungry. I do SO well all day long and then at 8 or 9p I can't control it anymore. I'm currently taking 10 drops, 3x a day and 10 drops, 2x a day of the Weight Off Drops (both by Profssional Complementary Health)! The Weight Off drops are supposed to curb my hunger - not working. I'm thinking of taking Phentermine for the first week to help me. I have dieted before but I have never felt as hungry as this. Today, I ate an apple + melba toast for breakfast; orange roughy fish + spinach for dinner, strawberries + melba toast for afternoon snack; shrimp + spinach for dinner. This only totalled 377 calories for the day. I wasn't sure what to eat to make up the calories since I measured everything.

First of all, I don't think I loaded well because I had to work a wedding the entire weekend and really didn't get a chance to "gorge" except for one meal on each day. Could that be it? Should I start all over? Increase my hHCG dosage? Or try and tough it out?

Also my TOM is due in 7 days and I normally experience PMS cravings around this time, can this also be the problem? I really believe this plan works but I'm having such a hard time. Since I've pretty much messed up, maybe I should just start over in a couple days. sigh!

April...so thought i said that on this forum in the beginning. I was most certainly moaning on about all the food i was having to lug around like i don't have enough crap as it is. No wonder u thought i was some jet setting stripper. And it's "flight attendant" now...but let's face it that doesn't sound nearly as glam. Like "trash attendant"....see??? not so glam. And no there is no weight restriction anymore..it's illegal..which is a bit of a downer cause i was a skinny minnie when there was. We had to weigh in all the time and u had overnight to lose the weight. It was a bit nuts. But it kept u in check. Now too many chicken wings and martini's and here i am....U need to give me that soup recipe. I had shrimp stirfry.. nothing to get worked up about. Mayb i will buy some cottage cheese tomorrow. That could be a nice change. I got some of those popsicle things that u make ur own and i am going to blend some strawberries and water with stevia and make some smoothie type popsicles. hmmmm. that sounds nice. Can u have crystal light or am I getting a rogue? I thought i read that u could..if it doesn't stall u. I have also been eating cherry/grape tomatoes not regular. I searched and saw that someone like colleen mayb said u could have them. I am thinking i just think i read what i want to hear and I am most likely wrong and that is what the problem is. I thought i was being all protocol and i am actually going all crazy. Might explain my stupid fish not moving...i am certain her fin is broken and she just keeps swimming in circles....i am hoping tomorrow there will b a change as i have had to pee about every 2 minutes. on another note i am pretty sure i broke my big toe today...it's all black and blue and swollen up....it looks like "Barney Rubbles" toes. Oh yea....good times.

CanIhcg....just saw ur post while i posted above...i am of no help on the drops as i do the injections buy someone will sound off here. Did u try posting on the asap question thread on the main forum page? or go to the live chat at the top of the main page u will see it in progress and chime in there and see if someone knows..I know i have been told it's important to do 500 cal...it sounds like ur dose is off and mayb u aren't getting enough food if u didn't load well and u aren't eating everything. I was measuring out 100g veg and realized i wasn't getting enough so i just make up the difference now with more veg. not sure if thats the right thing to do or not but that is the advice i was given. Also if u are carb sensitive the melbas may give u cravings...alot of people say that. I am gluten intolerant so i don't eat them but lots of people say they are a slippery slope. I know none of this is helping u right now but it helps to know that we have all been there. I am on day 9 and still dealing with dose issues..Grammy should be able to help u for sure... This is a good group on this thread so stick with it..

Thank you SO much! I didn't know about the other options to ask folks questions... I'm just disappointed in myself that I go all day and then a couple of hours before going to bed I just "lose it." I will try the other posting options... Thanks again.

Hi everyone! VLCD1 of third round. Starting weight: 152.0; Post-load weight: 153.6. I only lost 10 lbs on my second round so I figured I would go back to what I did the first time around. I went back to drops instead of shots. Today was extremely hard, I can't remember being so hungry on my first low cal day. Just felt like sharing! Thank you !!!
