Thread: Anyone loading 10/22-10/23? Starting over....

Hello Again. havent posted in here in a while. I see that you guys are having very good losses. Im glad to read that. I am starting on my 3rd week of VLCD today. so far ive lost 10 lbs. not a lot but at least its something i guess. the bad thing is that 6 of those pounds where what I gained when I was in P3/P4. Im doing a short round this time so I should be done in one week but i am thinking of adding a 3 or 4 extra days if I have some injections left over.

I had small losses in the last week. after i gained 1lb i then lost .4, .2, 0, .8 then today I had a 1lb loss. yay. I wish my body would lose a pound a day but im a super slow loser so i doubt that would happen. I guess I can dream right.

i really wanted to reach 145 and right now im at 152.4. so with the losses i have been having I may not make it. oh well we'll see what happens. its ok im in a good place today. I have officially hit the 50lbs lost since I started the HCG. since im a slow loser it took me a long time but i finally made it.

Also, I really like some of the recipes that are in the forums. I downloaded the recipe book they have on the recipes forum so I recommend you guys do that too because it can get very boring if all you do is grill your meats. I recommend cooking soups because they fill you up a lot more. also when you are starting to feel hungry you can make a cup of tea and the warmth of the tea helps to curve the hunger.

Hope everyones losses continue this well. be strong. Just keep Swimming! Just keep swimming!

So I decided I'm going to try a detox bath tonight. I will let everyone know if I think it made an difference at all.

I've got less than a week on the VLCD and then it's on to P3 and Cape Town! I really wish I could do it one more week, but there's absolutely no way with a vacation.

As promised, pics of Kruger Park! I won't kill you with too many. I took an OBSCENE amount!!Giraffs1.JPGjuvenile male lion up close and personal.JPGelephant1.jpgzebra up close.jpg

Towers 50 lbs is awesome!! I absolutely cannot wait. I hope and pray I can pull 30 ponds out of this round, but will be completely happy with 20. I've never seen something like this work so well. You may not be losing a lot of pounds right now, they say it is harder the closer you get, but I bet you are losing inches!! You hqve come a long way and I am so happy for you and can't wait until I can say - 50 lbs!

April20 - those pictures are beautiful. I hope the detox bath works for you. I did one earlier in the round when my muscles were so achy and it sure made me feel better.

I was up .4 pounds this morning but think it was because I needed to use the rest room. Hoping for losses again tomorrow.

Sure miss hearing from everybody on here. Hope and pray all of you are alright and having big losses!

I am 100% sure that you will lose 50 lbs soon. It will take a lot of dedication and determination on your part but now that you have learned how HCG works you can see that it is very possible. When I started, all I wanted to lose was 30 lbs just so that I can feel a little better about myself but now that I know it is possible I have become a little more selfish and now I am going all the way. I wanna be thin, something I havent been in many many years and it is possible! That is my motivation. I still have some ways to go but I am so much closer. I have been where you are, I was doing Round 1 not long ago and I have gone through a lot with this diet. it is not easy but it has been a miracle for me. I want to be 130 which has been my major goal since I began and as I get closer and close I keep thinking wow, back in March I never would have thought it possible. I am 5'1 so maybe once I hit my goal I can go down another 10.

Thank you towers! You know I look back and at one point in time I was 247 pounds. I can't believe that now. I guess I stopped looking in the mirror because I don't look any smaller when I see myself, I still look the same to me. I have never been thin. I was a size 5-6 in 6 th grade, an 8-10 in 7th a 10-12 in 8 th and a 14 by 9th grade. When I graduated I weighed 186. I continued to gain a lot and lose a little. @247 I could no longer breathe in my 20's and had resorted to stretchy clothes. I have no idea what size I need to be or what weight will look good on me. Just to get down to 180's again seemed almost impossible before and now I'm planning for the 160's and thinking that the 140's aren't that far fetched of a goal. Thank God for leading me to HCG. I started this to lose some weight for my health, but now I'm realizing I could look good one day.

You have come a long way any your goal is right within your grasp, you will get there.

Well, i dont know how much the detox bath did for me, other than give me a peaceful hour! I was down .2 this morning. Will see what tomorrow brings, it's my last day of drops!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I've never heard of a detox bath before, but it sounds nice Good luck in P3 land!

I hope you all had a great weekend. I had a very rough weekend with the diet. Friday we had a football game and everyone went out to dinner. I had already had my 500 calories but couldn't keep from eating with the family. It was my own decision and I chose to mess up.... My fault and I shouldn't have done it. I ate a 6 oz dinner steak and a salad..... The following day I was like, well, I screwed up and so I did it again that day. I ate 4 pieces of chocolate and had some popcorn and 2 waffles along with my 500 calories worth of HCG diet allowed food....

I don't know why I do this to myself. I get down to right below 200 and then I mess up... It's all me self sabotaging myself.... I just know that I have to get better control of this because for once I am doing something that truly works. I really hope that I didn't mess up the whole round. I even thought about quitting and reloading over Thanksgiving and starting over but then I thought that I would be giving in to the pure temptation of Thanksgiving and I am not that weak. I can be stronger than my desire to eat food. I can do this... Needless to say, I am back up to 198.8..... To think that one day I saw the scale at 195 and I have been going up ever since then.. I refuse to take the ticker back up....

I stuck to my P2 diet today. I had the hcg chili which seems to be my saving grace on this diet. It really is wonderful and I enjoy eating it. I am supposed to weigh in at the doctors on Wednesday and the thought of going and not having any losses makes me feel so weak and defeated. I am hoping to at least get a couple of pounds below what I was last Wednesday. I am halfway through this thing and I have to get my act together. My goal for this round was to at least make it to the 180's. That means I need to squeeze at least 10 more pounds out of this and then hopefully in P3 can stabilize at 190. If I can do that then maybe I can still reach my 160 goal next round. I am just so frustrated with myself right now.....

I do hope all of you are having better success right now than I am. I really can't wait to hear from you guys. Your support means a lot to me. It means a lot to know someone understands exactly how I feel and what I am going through. I am on 150 of the injections and I really think I need a stronger dose........

Well At least you have a reason for gaining...my weight has been up and down with NO CHEATS! So annoying and frustrationg. VLCD22 and only down 11 lbs. So hang in there, we are only human and food is just so damn good! You just have to jump back on the wagon again and stick with it! BTW, P2 chili has saved me too, but sometimes I wonder if its the reason for my slow losses, it seems lots of people don't lose well when eating tomatoes...

Gaining is frustrating no matter how it happens....whether you mean to or not. This weekend I completely blew it. I had these huge nachos (with EVERYTHING on them) and pizza. I gained two pounds. I was so disappointed in myself. But.....back on the wagon. I hope to learn someday that when I have things like that.....to have just a little. I dont expect to never have nachos or pizza again....but its like I dont control myself at all. Even after I lose this weight, Im not sure how to teach myself that. Ugh.

Anyway, its a new week....new losses!!!! Hope you all have a great week!
