    So I lost 12lbs on my first (short) round, which was actually my goal. Doing great in P3 and P4, very stable. But then I decided I wanted to lose 5 more and look REALLY smokin'. So I spent the past two days loading and gained 8 pounds!!! I'm almost back to where I started my first round and I'm PISSED beyond belief. Since I'm at a normal weight, it's going to take WEEKS to get this off! What's the most anyone has gained loading, and how long did it take to release it? Anyone here decide to just skip loading?

    If I do another round ever again with less than 20lbs to lose, I'm skipping the loading. I'd rather suffer through a few days of hunger than have to extend P2 several weeks longer than I anticipated.

    Well, I gained 8 pounds loading, but lost it all overnight plus another pound after my first VLCD. Most experiences I've read, the loading weight comes off much faster than the rest of what you have to lose.

    What did you eat that you gained that much? It's not normal at all to gain 8 pounds in 2 days unless you've got inflammation going on. The usual is about 3 pounds.

    I gained 5lbs during 2 days of loading, but lost 3 the 1st morning of my VLCD, I'm down 7.5 since this morning (VLCD3).

    Me too jewlz...lost a lb loading, which is wildly strange for me. If I'd eaten like that while not on hcg, I'd gain 3-5 lbs/ day. My body is SUPER sensitive to carbs and fat.

    straightscoop, I only gained about 3 lbs during loading. But, I wanted to remind you that you should go the full 23 days even if you only have 13 lbs to lose (8 plus the 5 from loading). You'll probably end up losing that plus a little more so it will all be ok in the end. I would NEVER recommend starting a round without loading. That completely goes against the theory behind this diet...in addition to making you starve!

    Best of luck!

    me too! I was thinking I was going to gain like 5 pounds. It's funny - when I am craving badly I think and plan out my load days. Just a weird coping strategy. But when they finally arrive it's like a burden. Eat eat eat more more more, and in the end I feel so disgusting and sick that I don't enjoy any of it. It's ironic.
