As for me I think I may have solved the dose mystery with the air in my needle!! The last two days I have had a loss and have felt much better and have also had that cold feeling... so thank goodness! Just hope it all continues!
Down 1# today, VLCD11 and down 9.6#s even with 2 days of gaining and one day of no loss.... crossing my fingers that scale keeps moving in the right direction!! Just gotta trust the process!
Have a great day!!

I see that JGD suggested you hide in the instapot, in the far reaches of closet. With all the weight and inches lost, maybe she is onto something! Squatters rights! Good job on those inches lost!
Thanks for the loading good wishes, I do intend to enjoy! I agree, the big drops first week are very motivating. And i have always loaded pretty well and haven't yet suffered from 1st week hunger. Knock on wood. but this time, going for the hhcg pellets, may be a different story, we'll see! Have a great day, weekend is comin!
Welcome back! Yeah, we are a chatty bunch! But you jumped in and read back LOL Yes, P3 day 2 for me!Quote:

I think your calculation is right.Quote:

I don't know either how I did 40 days before without stopping. I mean, we'll see how stabilizing goes but if it goes well, heck, I am doing it this way. I will do it this way for my last round but it was not as much planned as much as it just needs to be but yeah, I loved it. I lost well and more than expected after the PI.
I was up with you for a bit! Ugh. Did not sleep well, and have a headache.Quote:

I am taking my 14yo in his morning!!!!!! Approved for 12-15. We are personally relieved!
P3 Day 2
166 this moring so a good first day. Will post more later and read back on everyone I missed but I am taking my 14yo to get his first Covid shot!
Pearly, I will never see 130 or 135 again, just ain't gonna happen. Good for you, hope you get the 1.8 down you are seeking in the next few days, but if not, noone could tell that amount anyway. I am so with you, in 2010, I did a 47 day round, too. HOW? I'm pretty sure I'll never do another long round like that without a planned interruption in there someplace! Hope your baby is continuing to respond well to her meds! Onward, for sure!
Phoebe, your round is going really well, right now averaging more than most women do on a daily basis. Keep it up.
JGD, I mentioned you on Jeff's thread, but if you missed--I will be going back to VLC this Sunday. I will then try for 14 days on vlc, not counting my loading days or 2 days off in transition. (Will be experimenting with pellets this time, so 48 hrs off before p3) Goal for me is to be done by June 1 at the latest. Before my interruption I had done a short 23 day round, plus 3 vlc days in transition. So want to complete a full 40 day round. Just have to get my mind in the game! Hope you are doing ok, that steak day loss was great! This morning I weighed in at .2 over my last dose weight, sorta like you. I know people try to load and not gain, but I can't seem to follow thru on that. The loading days motivate me to go on, regardless of the gain. And I realize I won't be able to indulge in them for a long time after. Have a great afternoon!
mrsstrong, good luck on your P3. You did so well during a trip on your Planned Interruption, I have no doubt you will have a successful, stable P3.
Woot! I am sure it is a relief! Onward!Quote:

I know, I know, two days ago I was "hell yeah!" And now I'm in a " well, maybe not" mood. I feel good, I look better, BMI is decent. I'm content with this decision. With my loss pattern this round, I can't see myself putting in the effort for maybe another pound.
Phoebe, you've surpassed our twinning too! I'm so happy for you that you've found your bubble free sweet spot. I'm rooting for you and all y'all!
I have a family reunion, travel to Indy, followed by travel to Phoenix all in June and I want to have at least three weeks of P3 in before the hoopla starts. Hope the hoopla doesn't turn into shenanigans :-) There is a sister involved...
Anyone have a good rec for a mask to wear on an airplane that won't fog up my glasses?
Tracy, I get you on the fogging up with masks. I don't wear glasses but they fog sunglasses too. My favorite mask brand is Cool Touch , they are so lightweight, and cooler, I think. Maybe someone will have a response. Looks like CDC is easing restrictions, but on public transportation, prob here for a while. And it will take a while for businesses to relax their guidelines. What I don't understand about all this, why are vacinnated people worried about whether or not unvacinnated people are wearing a mask or not. Seems even vacinnated people are afraid to take the mask off. I miss seeing people's faces, smiles, and frankly I find it difficult to understand people thru masks, many times. If I am vacinnated , I should be ok even if I am around someone unvacinnated , I shouldn't be giving to them or their giving me covoid. On the off chance I did get infected, it shouldn't be badly. There are people who will never get vaxed, unfortunately, but it is THEIR body, their risk, their choice. And I don't view it politically, just logically--following science. Enough of this, don't mean to offend anyone. Hope you find a mask for travel that meets your needs.
Sounds like you have a great June planned. I think it a very good idea to get the 3 weeks of p3 under your belt before an extended trip. On a trip I'm sure there will be a tad of p4 eating. When I went on this last planned interruption, I started on P3 immediately and traveled immediately. Frankly I was quite worried that I would gain traveling so soon--but that didn't happen. And all in all, at end of planned interruption, this morning I weighed in .6 over my last dose weight. And yesterday, I ate quite a lot on p3 food--kind of experiment. I deliberately upped calorie intake. I wanted to see how it would affect gains and felt right before loading would be a good time to do that, as I could lose it quickly. A slight uptick of .4 this morning. Negligible. Today is finally loading day, and here I am. Took my pellets once so far, this a.m. Seemed it took forever for them to dissolve. I can see the convenience of injections. But this too is a kind of experiment, want to see the difference in losses and where weight is lost. So going to stick with the hhcg pellets. I actually have pellets or drops of hhcg.
I had a 200 balance of Macy's money, that I had to use before Saturday or would lose (thank goodness they emailed me to remind me! ) So I went shopping yesterday. Purchased a new pair of jeans, they were size 12, tried on another pair of soft slacks, and the 12 was too big, needed a 10, which they were out of. Happy with that. Even happier, purchased jeans (Lucky Brand), and three tops and only had to pay 7.00! All in all, a great shopping spree!
Will check later to see how everyone else is doing. Happy transistion days, hope they go well and you get a little wiggle room, Tracy. Loading today for me, I plan to enjoy, not go too crazy, but enjoy as I usually do.
Welcome back to P2, Dubbers. The first few days feel like NOT ENOUGH FOOD after P3, but you will make it through that and do great!!
The Woosh Fairy finally made it to Colorado. Good girl! Good Wooshie. Sit! STAY!
I'm down 1.4 today, to 130.6. Solidly into the 130-pound. If I didn't have to do transition days, I'd be eating bacon about now! LOL. But since I still have to eat P2 for 72 hours, I might as well stay in P2 the last 3 days until 40 injections. Maybe it will help with stabilization.
That puts me back in P3 on Wednesday. I usually try to game it to start P3 on a Saturday so I can make myself a nice breakfast...with bacon!... but I'm happy to try a weekday P3 start.
My sister and I are taking my nephew out to a late lunch today to celebrate finishing his first year of college...from their basement. Whew. I sat with him while he finished a final project in InDesign for six hours. He worked on it another four hours and turned it in 15 minutes before the midnight deadline. It took 12 minutes to load. I know, right?
He was supposed to be working on it for three weeks, but even though I showed up to help him -- I have used InDesign for my job for years-- last Thursday, Saturday morning, Monday afternoon and Tuesday evening... he kept saying he wanted to just watch tutorials and didn't need my help. When it became apparent that he had done almost nothing by Wednesday.... due date... Well, Auntie P to the rescue. Why watch tutorials when you have a professional who can actually teach you how to use it? He did a great job in the end. The very, very, very, very end.
Anywhoo.... going to IHOP and will order eggs, cottage cheese and tomato slices. NO THICK BACON. I may be going back next week.
I am still waiting for my new password on the desktop version for the hcgdietinfo.com site. I have requested a reset for days, and finally got one response today (there should be about 12 more somewhere!) but it just said it would SEND me a new password after I confirmed my email. Not yet. Still waiting. And then I will have to figure out how to log in on Tapatalk again. Sheesh.
ONWARD HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
