Lovely losers 2021 - jumping for joy in january!!!

**Kar** · January 11th, 2021, 06:50 AM

Good morning, Lovelies.

I've been lurking on and off since my last round. For a while there it was hard to keep up with ya'all!

Pay no attention to my ticker. I need to update it.

Like Pearly, I have gained quite a bit. I need to shake about 20 pounds. Unlike Pearly, I haven't been sick. I have no excuse, other than being less active yet still hungry!

I tested my remaining hcg last night and was shocked to see it's still good!

I plan to load next Monday & Tuesday (Jan 18-19). I'm concerned about circulation issues (blood pooling in toes) that occurred during my couple rounds, so instead of doing 2.0, I'll go back to OP (sans breadsticks) and see if that does the trick. Any other circulation-improving suggestions are most welcome!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Because its my first time, I am sticking the to the original protocol, but I am curious to hear if anyone has changed it up, without experiencing gains. Again, this is my first round.

I wanted to ask about Albacore Tuna in Water? Any advice? And if and how do I extend to 40 days. Do I just purchase more hcg from the clinic?

This is advice based on the protocol: Yes, you should extend your round to 40 dose days if you are able to. It is possible you could lose the maximum allowed 34 pounds in one round, but unlikely. However, if you are like most women in this age group, you will lose 20-25 pounds in a long round. You can then do a round to finish to goal. Very doable. Your best stabilization comes from rounds of 30 dose days or more.

As for tuna, it is specifically mentioned in the menu section of the protocol:

. Salmon, eel, tuna,
herring, dried or pickled fish are not
allowed.

There are those that have tried it and thought it was fine. I would be wary of anything specifically mentioned as not allowed or detrimental. (The example list of detrimentals, inferring that there are more, are pimiento peppers,
okra, artichokes and pears.) They tested all manners of foods and chose the ones that worked best with the HCG. Undoubtedly, they eliminated some that were neutral, but they also eliminated items that worked against the HCG. Since tuna is mentioned as not allowed, it would be safest to avoid it. You might lose ok during P2 on an off plan food, but you don't know if it will affect your stabilization later. Once you have had one round done as prescribed, it will give you a base line so that if you want to experiment in round 2, you would hopefully be able to tell what the effect is.

Talk to your clinic about how to extend your round to 40 dose days. I'm sure they will have some kind of option for you.

Good luck on your round.

Hi all - I'm back, too.

I did pretty well on my last round, but I always gain over the holidays and for some reason I started holiday-ing early and kept holiday-ing late. That didn't end well.

So here I am. I am hoping to get to my final goal weight in two rounds, but that will depend on how they go. I'm glad to see a few people active on here. I recognize most of you!

Day 1 - here we go!

CoffeeGirl and Kar,

All the best for your round ahead.

I had a good first day - hoping that's a good sign for this round! I couldn't weigh yesterday before I had water, so I will go by today's weight as my starting weight. I hope all of you are doing well!

‘Tis is day 4 of ph 2 and I am down to 200 lbs from 208 lbs. So far there is no hunger issues!!

**Sunshinehcg** · January 12th, 2021, 08:31 AM

Good to hear day 1 went well. Day 11 here and just plugging along. I am not weighing in as my scale needs new batteries and I thought with week, 2 I will have slower losses so I won’t weigh for a bit. Lol.

Nice start!! It’s is a good thing when here is no hunger issues. This round for me has been way easier than some of my past ones. I was never hungry but often the emotional eating would get to me.

I'm surprised there are not more people on here since it's the beginning of the year!

Super quiet thread. There are more on Leez’s January group.

Woohoo! Hi Sunshinehcg! I've missed you!!! Welcome back. Good for you for 7 pounds first week!
Kar! Good to see you, too.
Rose! Of course I remember you! Good to see you here, too!
Good start for Coffeegirl and Deana.
Deana, I had my gall bladder out years ago and it had no effect on this diet.

I was just about to just about to almost start... when I realized my box of syringes had mixing bottles and instructions in it, but no syringes. Woops. Then I checked my box of HCG and it's sell by date is... wait for it... Feb 1, 2021. Uh. woops. And who knows how long I've had that bac water. Sooooo............

I've reordered fresh everything and will just have to keep eating Nacho Fries and Lindt truffles until they show up. Darn.

But soon! Soon!
I can't sign this Onward as I seem to be going

Backwards!!!
