Sounds delicious. In our house we don’t do thanksgiving but we enjoy the day off work. Usually work on projects around the house. Covid never affected my husbands work... but other families who had to take time off work have been doing lots of renovations. Before our community had 75% of the yards well taken care of. This year it’s been like 90%. I haven’t done anything in our yard since we moved in 2 years ago. Which was good because we had our soil tested and it came back with high levels of lead and arsenic. Within the year we will have all the soil removed and replaced with healthier soil. I’m already planning my garden!

OK Mrsstrong.... You win!
I know correct protocol is not to cut your calories.... but I have to do SOMETHING

I am not ungrateful, but was expecting a decent loss today but could only squeeze 200g (.44 lbs) out of the scale today...

so to go through what could be small culprits

Week 1 I cut out coffee most days, because I do a little more than 1 TS of milk (probably 3), but weather is yucky and need a coffe instead of herbal tea when I wake up, so for today I shall continue

Week 1 I had no chicken at all with a great loss...had chicken 4 times this week, including yesterday...I know it makes no sense at all but going to cut chicken for the rest of this week just to stay on the basics I know that works

I have noticed that days I have raw tomato my losses are good and days I have Cooked tomato, it is less - so going to stick to Raw for now..once again, makes no sense

Most days if I drink at least 2/3s of my water by 3 pm... results are also better results

I know eating less than 500calories are not suggested, but I was considering doing a steak day (do people still do steak days in P2?) but then realise it is not really a stall, it is just slow going.... so for today I will skip my morning snack (grissini and a fruit) and If I go well will also skip afternoon snack (grissini) and if I feel good after dinner I will also skip my 2nd fruit

BM... under control, seems to be on average every 2nd day.... not big but admittedly, what we eat does not give much to discard?..

Temperature... I could not take my temperature this morning as I ran out of battery, but sinuses still infected, just taking medication (Homeopathic) and ride it out, it is change of season here

Exercise.. My job is pretty much desk bound and quite intense in such a way that my activity/step levels on week days are very low but weekends I often do 1.5 to double my daily steps... Yesterday I had quite a bit to do, so I did manage to do half my steps which is really good for a work day...but as soon as the storms clear I will do enough walking t make up my steps and als when it heats up I will fir in some swimming...

But all in all I have to remember to trust the process and all that is required from me is to stay on Protocol... dont go add crazy ideas and let it be...HCG will do its job

PS a bit crazy at work so Apologies if I do not respond to everyone... I do appreciate your input and suggestions
Sweet dreams see you when you wake up

Ok I see you want to lose quickly but truly follow the protocol. Do not try to eat less or it will backfire. Be content with ups and downs. Each round is different, If you overthink the process u will go bananas I am a slow loser but i always end up where i need to be You were disappointed with a loss of .44 lbs That is my average. Continue with protocol all the way thru and you will be fine. White chicken should be fine...no skin I eat fish and chicken and usually no beef because of calorie content You are doing great I take magnesium and vitamin c regularly on protocol and every night anyway. Keeps your digestion good

Thanks for the advice Rose....
My history on HCG has always been... massive loss/losses followed by lesser or no losses or even ups...and yes I do overthink it.... you may remember this from previous rounds way back.. I have to analyse everything. I started taking Vit C and CalMag... (sometimes forget) need to get just magnesium and New Vit C over the weekend......
So I took your advice not to skip my fruit and Breadsticks and be PATIENT! ...I keep forgetting 1Kg for me is 2.2lbs...... that's how my numbers always feel so little.... I guess thats where I score on the measuring ..Your 1 inch is about 2.5 cm.... so losses looks good
