    I am on r3d14 of vlcd. I lost 18lbs in the first 6 days...and then, NOTHING...I have been bobbing up and down between 17 and 18lbs...from last Sunday til yesterday. Finally, yesterday, I lost two lbs....thought it was the beginning of losing again....NOT! I maintained today. This is friggin killing me!!!! I have NOT cheated. I've been very good. I wasn't even eating the melba toasts. Haven't had an orange in a week. I even cut out the beef and tomatoes for a few days. Yesterday, I did eat tomatoes again and had one serving of melba yesterday, but skipped one of the fruits....because I thought I was on the upswing again. I don't know how much longer I can do this. I have had several social events and have not cheated once, while watching everyone drink and scarf down chips and cake! I have been cooking for my hubby, two small kids, and grandmother and not cheated....I feel like I'm being punished for no reason! Somebody HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SOOOOOOOO want to just forget this round....but, I'm afraid of messing up if I don't do the full 23 days of treatment. I gained about 12 lbs in between this round and the last due to being on steroids for a neck and shoulder problem....so, I had been up to about 52lbs and was down to 40. I'm up to 59.6 now...but, I was really hoping to be closer to 70 or 80 after this round. I'm so depressed.....anyone, everyone....please help me!

    nolamom ~ 18 pounds in 6 days is almost unheard of...your body is just catching up with itself! You are doing great!! I wish I had your losses...just hang in there...this isn't forever, you can do!! Just keep your head in the game and FOCUS on the final goal!! Did you take measurements?? That 18 pounds has got to come from somewhere..you are losing inches for sure!! Stay STRONG!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

    sistaK is absolutely right, your body is just catching up with the loss. Nolamom, you have lost 20 pounds in 14 days and that's amazing! Please don't get discouraged because your patience and committment to the diet will pay off I PROMISE!!!! Stay positive and keep us posted!

    Thanks sistaK....I have lost inches....despite a 50lb loss, I was still in my size 26's...but, I tried on an old pair of size 24 pants day before yesterday and they fit...well, sort of....I got them on...tight but, I got them buttoned, nonetheless. I have never taken measurements...I always rely on the scale. Guess maybe I have to stop doing that. I'm not hungry but, HCG does NOT remove cravings!!! If I lived alone and didn't have to cook for or witness others eating decent food, I would probably be fine. It's just so hard....I've stayed on longer for prior rounds but, I think this time, I'm going for the 23 doses and 26 days total. Maybe I'll get lucky and lose in P3. I know they don't want you to but, prior to my lovely steroid gain, P3 worked great for me. Even after the initial 21 days. I found if I ate something that was bread or sugar and gained a lb or two, I could quickly get it off with a steak or high protein day. I even went on a 7 day cruise, ate anything I wanted, and only gained 5.4lbs....and, with only two high protein days, I got it right back off. So, I just hope I can hang on til the end of the month. Thanks for the encouragement!!!!

    Skip one fruit - no oranges and skip tomatoes. Drink lots of Smart Water. Try going for walks and drink Smooth Tea. If all else fails - do apple day. BUT you are doing extraordianry!!!

    Thanks Anonymous....btw, what is SMOOTH tea? Where can I get that? I am down a pound today...maintained yesterday but, hey, I'll take anything right now!!! I am finally over the 60lb weight loss mark! I have been eating lots of chicken and fish....only had tomatoes once in the last few days....and skipping a fruit or veggie or melba here and there....I hope the loss continues...even if it's 1/2 lb per day!

    Smooth Tea - Available in health food stores - works as a healthy laxative. Drink SMART water. It helps! I bought a pallet!!!
