I plan to cycle between phase 2 and phase 3 until I get all the weight that I want to lose off. Then I will do phase 4 once and for all. That's my plan.

Sorry to hear your 2nd round didn't go so well. That's not what I really wanted to hear! At least you have a plan that works for you. Good luck and thanks for the response.

Hi everyone! This is my third round, first day of loading. I've creeped in these forums for some time...so many of my questions were answered by viewing old and current posts the first two rounds! I'm excited for round three and sick of the loading eating already and hoping for a little extra accountability this round with all the holiday temptations! Prior to HCG, I lost 30 lbs the old fashioned way but struggled to get anymore off. I lost 23 lbs in 30 days of round 1 and 18 lbs in 25 days of round 2 (cut it short for a multitude of reasons). Both times, I stabilized easily around 3-5 lbs above LDW. This time I plan to eat VLCD through Christmas Eve and hope to lose 15 more! In between round 2 and now, I got engaged and I'm hoping to lose another 50 lbs before my summer 2014 wedding! Am now planning to spend some time catching up on this thread! Good luck ladies!

I just had a burger a bag of chips and a snickers bar..and today is not a loading day. Im with you guys, im eating what I will not be eating for a long long time. Anyway I can't wait to start vlcd's but I'm enjoying bad food while I can lol. Officially loading tomorrow and Thursday.

Anyway, how long will your round be and will you be cycling into another from p3 or going into p4?

Ill be cycling. Ill be going to p3 until after christmas and start p2 again after new years. Then 2 weeks of p2 and 1 week of p3...Ill see how that goes. Looking back, I lost all but 2 pounds in the first two weeks of p2, so Im not going to keep going into longer rounds if Im just going to be tormenting myself. Cant. Freaking. Wait. Today is my first load day!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanks for that. My NAET doc also does hcg consulting, and she said it would be best to count calories and stay at my BMR (around 1500) in P3, so the Fit Pal thing sounds good. I didn't know you and Deb were identical twins. She is probably allergic to oatmeal. I have an oatmeal allergy too. Good to know that green beans didn't affect you in P3, so they must not be the problem some would suggest. Maybe they are legumes, but non starchy, which would make sense to me. I don't even really like green beans, so it really would suck if I blew my round over them, lol. The breadsticks are only for P2, which is how I justified my cheat today. None in P3, because they are still starch. . . if that is what you were thinking.

I totally broke my P2 today. We tried to go to Cracker Barrel, but it was too crowded, so we went to Denny's. I know it sounds crazy, but it was so relaxed, and the waitress was so sweet, and my daughters were so "in the moment", conversation was great, the food was tasty (if not healthy!), we drank lots of coffee (with half and half) and chatted, and it was my best Thanksgiving in years. I had a Hobbit breakfast which was eggs in baskets, bacon, hash browns with bacon and cheese, sweet potato/pecan pancakes with cinnamon syrup. It was so bad, but so good. And now it is gone and I am back on track. It is a lovely, cool day outside, so with all the glycogen in my muscles I will take a bike ride. I was weak on my recent rides, so it will be nice to have some energy to burn. I am pretty sure I will be upd a couple lbs tomorrow, but it it back to cucumbers and ground beef salad for dinner tonite.
