You get the best stabilization for rounds of 30 dose days or longer, if that helps you make a decision.

Yes, that helps very much! Thank you. This is weight loss based on the first effective dose day right? So, I load 2 days, start the 500vlcd and the next day would be by first effective dose where I go from that weight minus 34 or in my case 40?

Since you are planning the long round, you should be skipping your dose one day each week. This safeguards you against immunity so that you can safely continue to do rounds until you get to your goal.

Very good.. thank you so much for all the detail. Today was my 15th inj and down 19.4lbs I did skip a dose last week and will this week as well. Half way there... I realize losses generally slow way down so we will see how it goes! Thanks again for the assistance. I would of counted from first effective dose instead of day before.. This was the part of Pounds and Inches that had me confused
"We distinguish between the first three injections, which we call 'non-effective' as far as the loss of weight is
concerned, and the subsequent injections given while the patient is dieting, which we call “effective”. The
average loss of weight is calculated on the number of effective injections and from the weight reached on the
day of the third injections which may he well above what it was two days earlier when the first injection as
given"

If you're talking about loading with eggnog, don't think I hadn't thought of that :-)

Congrats on your losses!
