I am also having problems with the sleeping....I think my mind is wandering and preoccupied with all the diet stuff too...this forum alone can be all consuming! My niece is doing the diet too, I sent her the link and now she is hooked too! Besides not sleeping...I am dreaming like crazy..and the dreams are crazy too. I had posted earlier and asked about the dreams and the responses sounded like they were sleeping great....sorry you guys arent sleeping well, but glad to see I am not alone! Minnie I am having the "other issue as well...VLCD12 and took something Sunday and I am going to have to again tomorrow I am afraid...but still hoping I will be able to avoid that!

VLCD12, down 12.2 (8.8 pre load)

MINNIE-i did the 43 day my first round, i am currently on another 43 day second round and i think i will do a 23 day round after this one, i want to lose 75 lbs total and im only at 41 lbs lost so far so i definitely need another small round after this one. i cannot wait till P3...Chicken Wings here i come! cheese, nuts, eggs, dressings, oil and butter too! MMMMM 27 days to go, after HCG i will join weight watchers and work out to maintain. my energy has never been thru the roof like this and i actually want to exercise! but wont do it in P2 but in P3 i will be exercising.

Today was measurement day, my first. When I first researched this diet the website I came across from which I got P and I (which was sent to me by a link in my email.....red flag??) put THEIR protocol first. They had a page of the listed allowed foods (broccoli cauliflower MUSHROOMS) which I printed and it was my first look at Dr. S's protocol, or so I thought. I am very irritated that it was SO off protocol! I have had a hard time getting this stuff out of my head but I just look at Dr. S's stuff as often as I need to. Anyway, the one good thing I got from it is a chart to track the weight and it has a place for measurements and has one re-measure every 2 weeks. Today is my 2 week mark. I have never measured on a diet before! I think I'm finally breaking down barriers and resistance I have maintained against really getting control of myself and my relationship to food. I think this time I have finally hit the bottom I have really needed to hit mentally and emotionally. I really hate how big I let myself get, and in a fairly short time.

SOOO

Ta da! Down 7 inches "total". Remember my referring to "it seems a portion of my rear end disappeared today..."?? Well, it was true! 3 inches off the bum!!! WOW. It wasn't my imagination, ha ha.

Yay me. ;-)

Hi everyone.. Just doing a quick check in before heading to bed. P2 VLCD12 , lost 1lb this morning which brings me to a total loss of 15.8lbs.
I was back to the clinic yesterday, asked her about my needles since they say I'm doing IM but my needles are only 1/4inch length. i told her I am not hitting muscle with this. So far this dose and yes i asked about how they mix and what does I'm on to verify it, they mix 10cc bac water and my does is 125. I've been doing fine on this dose and noto hitting muscle though. Really don't have hunger, just nagging thoughts that i really want a bite of this or a bite of that. I try to push the water more when these thoughts occur, or I'll have a cup of tea. I think I'm more annoyed then not, that I was told I'm doing IM but given such a short needle. The Dr. said it's too dangerous for them to give bigger needles. She did tell me I could try to give in my upper arm/shoulder area since less fat there to penetrate. Today was my "off" injection day, so now I'm trying to decide, do I try to make this switch to giving my own injection in this upper arm/shoulder area. Or, do i just continue above the knee with it since I am doing fine with it here.

I also bought Yerba Mate today, omg that stuff tastes horrid! lol I couldn't drink it had to get one of my green tea/mint tea bags and dunk it in with it and even then it wasn't very good. How do you all drink this?

Question, is the 43 day, which is what I'm doing, is it 40 days then 3 days no injection at 500 calories. Or, is it 43 days of injections with 3 days of no injections and eatting the 500 cal?
