So happy for you! That is such encouraging news! As much as I know a lot of what I gained is water weight that will easily come off, it's awesome to see how quickly you got back down to your LDW. Like I said yesterday, I'm losing already just by going back to clean/P3 eating. Doing the happy dance for us!! Cross your fingers that my hcg leaves customs soon

Maria, I forgot you didn't get yours yet! Hope it comes soon!!

Great to see all the losses - even the ones that are less than expected. Remember it's the overall long term thing we're looking at. And if you weren't on hcg you wouldn't have lost 0.4 or 0.5 or 0.2 - you would likely have stayed the same or gained. So anything is better than that, right??? I lost 0.5 today, after a couple of really great loss days. It's part of the process - accept it and don't let it derail your other efforts!

Hugs to you all ---

Awesome loss! My sentiments exactly! Day 4 on VLCD and down 7...right there with you! Love it love it love it! Keep up the great losses!

So I was DOWN only .4 today, looks like I wasn't alone in the smaller loss department. But DOWN is good and like eyedoc said it is better than going up! Maybe not enough water yesterday or it could be TOM lurking.

Regardless, I am loving the hcg and sticking to protocol!

Next milestone the 160s...come on! Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

I too have been very cold and i am usually hot (old woman syndrome - i am 48 today).....my brain is so fuddled i can't even remember what i mixed with my hcg but have decided to just fiddle with dose until i quit being so hungry....i thought i mixed 15 then saw a post telling me to mix 20 so figured i did what i was told but it should have been 15 cause im on sl and i didn't make that clear to helper anyway just another hiccup along the way...am pleased to be down 3 lbs just have to get the hunger under control....
Hope everyone has a good day!!!!

happy birthday

Down only .5 lbs to 139 even.

Yesterday, I resisted greatly at a party and ate NOTHING. <happy dance>

Didn't eat until about 8pm then to bed too soon after, thus, imo, I only got rid of .5 lbs. Hey, if I release 1/2 lb every day of this hCG, I'm happy!

sounds like everyone is sticking to protocol and going down! congrats all! every little bit adds up. I seem to recall from earlier rounds that the first week was really the hardest and the most important for getting on track so let's keep it up. we will lose interest in what we cannot have for the time being and we will release pounds. yes.
so my scale made it to 148.2 this morning, made it into the 140s, woo hoo, a drop of 1.8. one day at a time and I will get there.
good luck all.

Down 2.2 this morning ( / ) ( I ) ( \ ) ...bootie dance I also found my energy yesterday. It helped that it was 53 out and beautiful and for Wisconsin.

Cynm- You know I read your post and didn't even dawn on me it was your birthday.....so a day late...HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Marvless- hope your hcg gets out of customs soon but glad your doing good just on clean eating.

pug- 140's thats awsome

cbasla- Great losses!

To all have a wonderful day!

Kat - I always skip a day a week. 125iu is low though. I'd still do it and see how I felt. If you're hungrier on your skip day then maybe you shouldn't skip.

For those of us on injections, skipping a day helps us to see if we need to lower or raise our dose. More hungry on skip day means raise it. Less hungry means lower it. If your the same, then you've probably found your magic number.

brick - Melatonin for better sleep. 3 mg.

I was craving more food last night, but stuck to my guns! Yay me! 40 days to go. This weekend will be difficult as I'll be traveling, but after a couple years of hcg, I should be able to eat right. No excuses!

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. I can do anything for 40 days.
