    Hi everyone. Went to the clinic Friday, got my hcg, and started the first injection on Saturday. I spent the weekend so far eating anything and everything I thought I might have a hankering for...which really isn't all that much. My tastes and taste buds have changed so much since my first round and all that fatty, sugary, starchy food just isn't appealing to me. During the first round, I did 40-days, lost 31 pounds and during p3 lost another 12. Stabilized in p4. I didn't have any problems with p3 or p4 that I'm aware of and was happy with the weight loss. I think that sometimes each round is a little different with different challenges so we'll see how it goes this time. I'm only doing a 20-day diet, maybe 24 as I have enough hcg for 24 days.

    So, I'm also ill at the present with a little bit of a fever and trying to stuff food down me that just doesn't even taste right. I'm doing it anyway as I know how important it is to follow protocol to the best of my abilities and I'm really looking forward to Day 1 of VLCD tomorrow. Sounds like you all are off to a great start and I'm looking forward to sharing the journey with you. I'll check in with you tomorrow and let you know how much I gained with my loading days...ugh! Don't you hate the thought of actually putting weight back on on purpose? Oh well, for the greater good...

    Talk with you all tomorrow!

    Wow so glad I found this place. Just stumbled on googling some hcg questions. I am male from Oklahoma City weighing in a plump 266 after two days of loading and feeling stuffed. Today was my first day on VLCD. Really hard not eating like I am used to. I realize I eat a lot out of boredom or eat such large portions. I am going for 40 in 40 days. I have done this once before and lost 30 in 21 days. But of course not following p3 and p4 killed me and I put it all but 4 pounds back on. Ready to go the distance and eventually get to 205. I am doing self injections versus sublingual this time. Not as bad as I thought it would be giving myself shots. Looking forward to hearing everyones successes and struggles. I am going to have to work hard not rationalize a cheat to myself. I will stay connected hear for encouragement. Look forward to chatting with everyone. Good Discipline to everyone...

    So.... We have a routine of early morning coffee together. On Sunday we sit and talk over several cups. Minus the creamer and it just wasnt the same. I think this is what made it hard, the breaking of well loved habits. I can only assume that it will get better and we will FEEL better on a healthier diet! I was so hungry by dinner but the 4 cups of spinach has done the trick. Hubby weighed in tonight and has lost 6 lbs since we started oh, 2 days ago...wow! So good to read how everyone else is doing.....

    A question for all you veterans: How important is the protocol regarding makeup, lotions, lip balms etc? I am totally on board diet-wise and am not going to cheat even a bit! (that's the plan;) but I'm a little on the fence about these cosmetic things- it seems like it's going to be an awfully uncomfortable ugly 43 days...starting vlcd tomorrow and I can't wait!

    I am falling in love...with this group :-)

    Could not have asked for a better support system!

    It's my second load day today. I am almost 10 hours ahead of you so our posting times will never match. I gained one lb from my first load day...exactly the same gain as from the first load day in R1.

    Oncemore, I ate meat, eggs, some nuts, all fats, beans and other veggies, all fruits, cottage cheese etc. I could never eat processes cheese though. I tried it on three different days and times, but ended with more than 1.5 lb gain each time. I guess keeping a food diary is essential

    jessiejt, I was very particular about lotions etc. I just used aloe vera gel for my face and body. For make-up, you may like to use the mineral kind.

    I ordered my HCG on Friday and hope to have it this week. My sister is going to theh Dr tomorrow. The plan is to load Sat, Baby shower for her first grandbaby, adn Sunday and start next Sunday, the 8th. So we will be a little behind the rest of you guys, but hopefully we will learn from all of your experience. It is the first time for both of us and we are planning on the 23 day plan this time around. Looking forward to it and to sharing this with all of you. Our niece started last Sunday and she has already lost 6 pounds!

    May I join this group? I am starting R2, finished loading today. Lost 32# on first round, kept off ~26 through p3/4. Doing a long round and cycling from there. Still have about 75# to lose.

    dananci, your’s seems to be an extraordinary success story. I do not think we lesser mortals can even dream to reach close to it.

    Best to all of us.
