Tuesday was my last injection day. Yesterday, my face broke out with a rash/hives. Today my forehead is covered. Is this is a side-effect of going off the HCG?

I did the 40 day program under a doctor's supervision through a clinic. I am please with my results (32 pounds as of today), but I don't like what I heard today.... So I'm seeking comments/thoughts/suggestions/ideas from those experienced with the HCG program.

Before I started the program I advised the doctor that I had time to get through Phase

1.2 overnight.... and, not to provide TMI, but I know I'm stopped up a bit, so.... perhaps it will be more!

I was worried the PureVia is what stalled me so I'm going to avoid it today. I cooked my Hake last night with a little coconut oil (tasted soooo good!), so I wonder if that helped? I've read some say it does and some that say it will stall... so who knows.

Trying to stay focused on measurements more than weight though so if the stall kicks in again I don't become ...

I've been stuck for 8 days... Well, in reading and researching tonight, I find that some (many according to some sites) stall if they use Purevia. I've been using Purevia and now that I think about it, it was about the time I started using it that I stalled.

Tomorrow, no Purevia.... how long, if this is the culprit, before my body will start losing again???

Here's my performance the last 8 days...

Weight -- Loss -- Total Loss
250.5 -- 1.3 -- 20.7
250.3 -- 0.2 -- 20.9
250.1 -- 0.2 -- 21.1
250.0 -- 0.1 -- 21.2
249.6 -- 0.4 -- 21.6
249.5 -- 0.1 -- 21.7
249.2 -- 0.3 -- 22.0
249.0 -- 0.2 -- 22.2

It's getting a little (lot) frustrating, but I do see a difference in measurements, so I'll hang.

I do know that muscle ...

I'm really trying not to become frustrated, but after losing 20 pounds in the 16 days and only 2 pounds in the last 7, it's hard not to. I've gone back over and over my foods and I cannot find anything "suspicious". If I do not lose when I weigh in the AM, then I'm going to really start having doubts - even if I do not want to.

I'm strong enough I'll stick with the program, but it is starting to really piss me off! lol

Hi. I'm on day 23 and have dropped 22.2 pounds so far and approximately 7" off my waist (went from 50 inches to 43" this morning!). For the past four days I didn't drop any weight, but this morning I dropped 1.4 pounds. I guess I just experienced a normal stall.

I also noticed the program that my doctor placed me on varied a bit from Dr. Simeons' program (which I just finished reading), so I'm going to drop my doctors program and follow Simeons'. I mean, he is the ...
