Good morning!
Can I join your thread?
My name is Lana and this is my second round. Last round was a success, I lost 14 pounds. I regained half of it in a year (5 in the last month when I had to travel to Ukraine for funerals)
Today is my VLC1! I am very excited!
LD1 144.5
Initial Goal #1 : 130
04-Apr-2013 130 LDW
DEXA scan1 04/23/2013 : weight 131, fat 47.1
DEXA scan2 04/18/2014 : weight 137, fat 51.6
Goal #2: 118 (after DEXA1 scan I realized I need to loose at least 10 more pounds out of 47 pounds of fat I still have)
which became 14.5 pounds of fat now.
LD1 137
Current weight (23-Apr-2014): 136.2
Yay! Cruzin4436!!

Just made supper for hubby and stepdaughter - orange glazed pork loin with sweet potato hash browns. Sure smelled good, looked pretty, and hubby said it was delicious. Me? I had a portion of chicken breast and a chilled sliced cucumber - I wasn't hardly hungry, but needed the protein and veggies.
My doc gave an additional prescription, Flexiril, a muscle relaxant. I started taking that today. I checked and weight gain is not a listed side effect, but we'll see what happens in the morning. If there's a gain, I don't know what to do - stay on protocol or go off for a bit until I don't need the meds. The aches and pains I have are enough that I cannot go without meds yet, eesh. Hmmm, guess we'll see what the morning brings.
Sunnycam, what method and dose are you using? It's possible, if you're still hungry, you may need to tweak it.
Hi bluetechseeker,
I am on Releana HCG which comes with instructions for .25 ml drops but not sure of the concentration to tweak ... Hmmm well I know this is the toughest in the first week so I just need to resolve to just get thru it?

Hi, sunnycam. I was just looking at the info for your drops. First, are you certain you're holding them under your tongue for three minutes as instructed? Also, are you waiting ten minutes before eating and drinking? The dropper is marked for 25ml, but you should be able to use less than that by drawing less fluid up. OR, count the number of drops for 25ml, then just count drops for each dose rather than use the mark on the dropper (I'm sure that could be tedious). You do not want to deal with constant hunger, you'll loose the wrong kind of fat and basically be starving yourself. It could be just the first few days you'll need to deal with it, but you should not have hunger if your dose is correct. The hcg builds in your system for three days, so by tomorrow or so you should not feel hunger.
I had a little whoosh today, 2lbs... That means the next loss drops me into the 160's again, whoop!

Thanks bluetechseeker for looking into it! I am following directions exactly, and thanks for the tip on counting drops in .25ml, fantastic idea!
But how do I know if I should take less drops or could I possibly need more? What do you think?

Cruzin-
Mixing is no fun at all! I had stuff spraying everywhere and couldn't get my hcg out of the vile last time. I had to add more bac water and I didn't keep track how much in my panic. I was a train wreck. This time I bought 4 of the 2000iu hcg vials in case I mess up again. Mixing does some easier this time. I am dosing 4 ml of bac water w/the hcg and shooting 125 myself. I get so nervous and second guess myself. I have 2 kids under 3 and I am always exhausted. Exhaustion leads to errors. The forum is so helpful. People on here are so helpful! Hoping you hit your sweet spot! TOmorrow is my first vlcd. Hoping I am not starving like my last round.
Good job everyone. Sunnycam, hunger should subside..I do .25 sublingual..keep under tongue for awhile. Yesterday I was Dow. 1.2 and today nothing...I am never cheating again...it really messes u up.... I have been off since Friday.. no good losses. Probably do a 30 or 35 day round now. I am on vlcd 13 and only down 9..uggg. it is good but not as fast as first round. I bought magnesium citrate for constipation liquid and am afraid to take it. Also don't want to take a stool softener before bed...don't want that to affect my weight in am.. I am trekking along though slowly. Need to get out of this rut.
Thanks annicade! I think 9 lbs is pretty awesome tho! I would be so happy to be at that point in 10 days![]()
Regarding the cheats, I've messed up several rounds by doing that... It's starts off a little harmless, then all of a sudden it catches up with a stall or a gain... That's why I have to tell myself not to deviate at all... But yup it's so hard!
Hang in there! Is Magnesium Citrate the same as Mag O? If it is that stuff works great. Haven't had to resort to that yet...

Good morning all! Today is VLCD4 for me and I am down 4.4 lbs including my load gains of 2.6 lbs so I am very happySo far my energy level has been better than other rounds as well. Usually I am exhausted, cranky and freezing during P2, but so far none of the above have occurred and my losses are good! I have a family function this weekend that is at a suprer fancy Italian resturante I am a bit nervouse about, not to mention that my in-laws are super high pressure and will be all over me about what I eat/don't eat, but I keep telling myself it's just one night and I can do this! Hoping they have filet, white fish, or chicken on the menu I can ask to be prepared without oil or butter, but being a authentic Italian place I am not counting on it. We'll see how that one goes
Sounds like everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work![]()
Good morning, everyone! I feel like I am creeping on this weight loss journey, but I am down 13.1 pounds on VLCD 11, so I guess progress is being made!! Last night was a 0.4 release, so yay!!
Yesterday was the usual, with a chicken salad for lunch and chicken soup for dinner. Tonight I'm getting my hair done, so I will have to figure out something for dinner tonight...maybe make up some soup and eat it at 5:30 before leaving work. Tomorrow is my big challenge because I am going to a wedding. I am praying for a buffet over sit down dinner, and NO open bar! LOL I am also going by myself, which is always difficult. I'm not even sure I'll know anyone, except the bride and groom, so I will sneak out early if it's a food fest! (unless there is a cute, single man there!) LOL
Have a great day, everyone! Off to work, I go!
