    Welcome ljleslie, your loss is fantastic - above normal.
    Go to the top of the page to the Search tab. Type in "newcomer", and you'll find lots of info.
    Phase 3 (P3) is the maintenance phase. There is a thread for that.

    ok, here's my stats
    I'm 46 years old weighing in at 155.7 Height: 5.2 1/2 inches
    Current BMI: 28
    Body Fat %: 35.2%

    Measurements: Waist: 32 Inches
    Hips: 41.5
    Rt Arm: 13.5
    Lt Arm: 13
    Rt Leg: 23
    Lt Leg: 23


    Current Weight: 155.7
    Started: 8-18-2010
    Loading day 1 weight: 155.7
    Loading Day 2:
    VLCD Day 3:

    I was advised to take my measurements as well as record my weight. I'm doing my HCG through a local clinic. They did blood work and an EKG. I've got the ok. I did my first injection today and I'm eating everything in site. So far so good. I feel a little bloated and full. They gave me a multi vitamin and fish oil. I'll take the vitamen, but, I will not take the fish oil. I'm doing the protocol exactly outlined from Dr. Simeon's maniscript. The MD told me not to expect more than a 10% reduction in weight. I wonder if they give the fish oil to slow down weight loss so they can squeeze another session in to make more money. Plus the information from the clinic differs from the maniscript. They have me down for 3 loading days before I start the VLCD. My understanding is to load for 2 days with the start of the HCG injection and on the 3rd day begin the VLCD. Is this the right interpretation? I rather follow the protocol exactly and not the clinic. Plus, i felt very rushed in the clinic. Seemed like the MD was in a hurry and didn't have time for my questions. She basically shoved the needles in my hands and told me to read the material. Luckily I researched on my own what is to be expected. And I have all of you for input. All of this for $400.00 dollars. If I do decide to do another protocol, i might go it on my own and order the drops like everyone else. Why spend more than I have to especially if everyone else is getting great results without shelling out alot of money.
    I just went this way because I wanted to be sure I was under a MDs care and I didn't have any underlying illnesses. I'm a bit disappointed with the clinic, but, I've got my shots and I can take it from here.

    mlank, you can take the fish oil during loading days to up your good fats intake. most only load for 2 days, but some do load for 3.

    Hey eegrl, bring it on :) But, you do have a 2 day start ahead of me. I'm really excited about this whole protocol. How are you feeling so far. Let me see your stats.

    Today I started the VLCD1. So far I feel great. I'm tired though because I went to bed late and I didn't sleep well. Kept getting up to pee last nite. But, so far no hunger. I lost 2lb during my loading and then gained almost all of it back the day after loading day 2. I think I did well during the first loading days. Looking forward to some type of lost tomorrow. I've been drinking alot of water and green tea this morning. How have your loses been. I hope a lose at least 2lbs tomorrow. It will be a real pschological boost to see the 140's by next week. This is totally awesome!!!!

    Mlank,

    (I meant the weight loss finish!)
    :)
    I was awesome the first day, some mild hunger (but I think I probably just mentally wanted to eat). The second day I was hungry and had a headache, but I think I just didn't load well (I have a very sensitive stomach and am not able to eat a lot of things, so loading was hard for me). The third day I had a bit of weakness, The fourth day all those symptoms were gone! and now I feel great! The only other thing is that I have had a bit of an itchy rash. I don't think I slept well the first night either (anxious I think!) but I have been sleeping like a rock now. I think I have gotten up to pee too, but I barely remember it, the sleep has been so good!

    I think you can be in the 140's by next week easy! I lost 2lbs after my first VLCD day, you lose that loading weight quickly.

    It is super awesome, 4.5 lbs gone in 4 days of the VLCD! yayayayayaaa I am so excited to get up and weigh myself in the morning, lol. Before HCG I would never have done that (I just didn't want to know!)

    Height 5' 1 1/2"
    Current Weight: 147.7 (-4.5lbs!)
    Started 8-16-10
    LD1: 152.2 (starting weight)

    eegrl-your stats are so encouraging. 4.5lbs gone in 4 days. This is so incredibly awesome! On conventional diets it would take me a full month or more to lose 4.5 pounds. You did it in 4 days. I can not wait to weigh in the morning. I don't know about you, but, that would put me in a good mood for the rest of the weekend. Just imaging, you'll be in or very close to the 130's by next week or so. You must feel like you're going to burst with joy. I'm excited for you.
    Are you looking different or is it too soon to tell? Your clothes must feel a little looser since you lost almost 5 pounds. Another 5 or 6 pounds and you'll be down a full size by the end of next week. This is so motivating.

    I do think about how good we both will look during the holidays. I have this beautiful cocktail dress I brought about a year ago. It doesn't zip in the back because I had too much weight on me. I bet by the end of this round, I'm going to try it on and it will fit like a glove, who knows, it might actually be too big. Easy fix though, I'll just have it taken in. Now that's a good problem to have dont' you think? Good luck with the day. I'll check-in with my weight tomorrow and let you see how it goes. I hope I'm down at least a pound. Check you out later skinny...Martha
