It's four weeks and one day since last injection.
Weighed in today at .2lbs under LIW. This is despite attending the Vancouver International Wine Festival and falling off the low carb wagon into a giant platter of nachos and a strawberry cheesecake (not at the same time though).
I mentioned a couple posts back (Feb 16th) that I'd ordered hCG online. Order update: I received a shipping confirmation the next day and the product five days (regular air mail from Europe)
It's been a week and a day since my my last VLCD day.
As of this morning, I'm down 1.4lbs from my last injection weight (LIW). I've been as high as 1.2lbs up from LIW. Average for the week was .4lbs under LIW.
