Thread: Lovely Losers are Absolutely Awesome in August

Well, I started loading this weekend. Too bad I haven't started hcg yet. Lol. Guess I am pre-loading! I think I need a round because I want to focus on something. I'm drifting a bit and doing a lot of emotional and stress eating. I think I'm bored. And or a little depressed. Or both. So, I will probably really load tomorrow and see how it goes. I'll commit myself to one day at a time! P

Ugh! good job, Last. Cortisone was the straw that broke poor old Aunt Pearly's back a few years ago. Two shots in a bad heel at the same time was taking two rounds of pills for an inner ear infection. 5 pounds each is what I gained, too.

Okay, I started today, so I guess I am loading for real. Daniels, I'm doing two weeks, too, but just because that's all the hcg I have on hand. Then I'll do a PI until the new stuff comes. So, it is NOT protocol, but that is when we get the most losses, so it would be nice if it was enough.

Every time I do two weeks and don't get quite where I want, I do that 3rd week, and get pretty much nuthin'. But! You are right, we are supposed to do the 23 days in order to stabilize. I've done 2 weeks with 3 weeks off and then 3 weeks back on and seem to have stabilized. The recent 5 pounds is not creep and therefore not 'not stabilized.' It's flat bad eating!

Okay, gotta go eat sumpin! P

Good Morning Everyone,

Last 10 so sorry to hear about your knees!
Daniel, maybe when you have a minute could you please share your traveling while on protocol tips? I struggle with that sometime.

ALSO, I use hHCG pellets from Intermountain HCG. I really like them. I also use their drops, but I find the pellets are easier when you are out and about for the mid-day dose. Also, they hold their potency really well between rounds. I find the drops do not stay potent between rounds. They are really reasonable--I got mine when they had a buy 1 get free sale--so I now recommend the pellets.

AFM It's day 6 of P2 and I am down another .5 today. So that is great but it means my first week losses are slowing...sigh. I have been exercising and making sure to drink my water so I am hopeful of a good result this round! Lots of weight to go and a bit hard to cook for my non dieting can-eat-anything and still be skinny family....

Good luck everyone! Have a wonderful day!

Hello Lovelies I am back! I can't wait to read and catch up on how everyone has been doing these past few months.

I am loading today so really, truly back on the plan.

Nothing has changed in my life since March - wow can't believe it's been that long since I've checked in. No longer super stable as I've added on a few lbs but we know how to kick those to the curb. Will be back to my regular, lovely status if ya'll will have me
