That's what I did my first round. I lost 40 pounds...but apparently it was from all over not just in the target areas. Even my fingers were thinner! R1 I only lost 1 dress size too - I was a little shocked, but I knew I had lost weight. My second round I lost inches...and 18 pounds in 23 days and several dress sizes.
one round is 23 days right? then going past the 23 day mark is considered round 2? What if I don't go all the way to the 40 days? After 23 that's still considered Round 2?
From my reading (again newbie) your round 1 can be either 23 or 40 days, depends on the amount of weight you want to lose, then once you have complete P3 and P4 if you need to you go back to P2 and that becomes your Round 2...On the water weight, I would think that it would be a temporary thing. How long have you been on HCG?
A round is consider one time on hcg from start to finish... it must be a least 23 days in length but can be stopped at any point after that up to 40 days. Round two is the next time you're on Hcg, Round 3 after that...etc.
No Sitori... you won't just be losing water weight on this round. It's normal to lose weight all over at one time, when that happens you don't see much movement of the tape measure.
Tweetie... yes when you stop Hcg you have 3 days (most do 72 hours from last dosage) of 500 Calories (VLCD) to do. You want to make sure the Hcg is out of your system before eating fats (allowed in P3) so you don't gain.
