Thread: ROUND 2 - Lock down special.

Day 2. Phase 2. Weight 112.2kg (down 1.8kg from load weight)

I won't say I'm feeling sluggish but I haven't taken off like I normally do. I think part of this could be my loading strategy and particularly too much wine before day 1 of phase 2. I did over indulge towards the end of the day. However this hasn't stopped my will power. I'm keeping hydrated and spreading out my meals.

Easter isn't going to be a problem for me as I'm not a big chocolate fan and we aren't having family over either.

GO YOU ROSE! awesome to hear you're doing so well.

Feeling a bit strange again today. I'm sure it's just the world around me and everything that's going on or it's got something to do with the diet....only time will tell.

Day 3 and I'm down another 1.4kg. A bit concerned that I won't have enough HCG complete my round. However, will just keep going until it's finished. I'm anticipating an early finish of phase 2 at day 11. I will try to get more, but don't find it likely. My favourite part of HCG though is the certainty of it. Just trust the process. I've not changed my process at all and have kept my food reasonably bland...otherwise I find my taste buds become too elevated and this brings on cravings. I've found reading and doing online shopping without actually buying is very satisfying. It helps me focus and remember what the overarching goal is.

I hope you do okay , but 11 days is pretty short for P2. I believe 21 days is considered a short round. It may be hard to stabilize with only 11 days, so I hope you do find more HCG
I wish you good luck on your journey

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for all your support. It really does mean a lot. I love the encouragement. I made the decision to end the diet early. I still made a point to see out the 3 days and I've been doing low carb. My decision was surrounded by Corona virus pandemic and we are in lock down. I just couldn't face not being able to go out and do this diet. I also rushed my start date. Instead of waiting and preparing mentally I pushed too hard. My mind was not ready. I will definitely go again but in a few weeks. I will update this when Im begin my planning. I still want to fit into my clothes and be under 100kg

So here I am, back again. Hungry for weight loss and health for myself and my body. I had a bit of trouble with round 2 a couple of weeks ago but it's fair to say I rushed into it without mentally preparing for it. This lead me to stop at day 4. However, I put everything to the side and decided to do it at a more suitable time....NOW.

Loading days were fun but not great. It was actually quite a challenge getting that much food into me. I gained a whopping 2.5kg. However most of this was me just being bloated.

My goal for this round is under 100kg I don't believe I'll get there just due to the short round but I will be very chuffed with under 105kg. This should allow me to fit most of my clothes, or my pants at least.

I'm aiming for 15 days plus 3 days without the HCG. As I've said before. I'd sooner do a shorter round and loss 10kg than do 40 days and lose 15kg. The shorter rounds are easier and it's far more manageable to do 2 weeks. I also find after 2 weeks that's when my cravings go a little crazy

Weight today: 113.5kg

UPDATE 8/5/20 DAY 5

What a great start to the diet! Feeling much better about this round I'm definitely more focused and am reaping the benefits. Currently at 109.5kg. Haven't tried clothes on just yet...will wait for a few more days. I haven't told my family and because I've been working so much they haven't really noticed. That being said my mum is always supportive even if she doesn't quite understand diet. I'm going slightly rouge this time round. I'm having eggs and chicken each day as well as an extra fruit instead of my 2nd vegetable (i.e. 2 grapefruit) I will monitor this closely and see whether my body is adversely affected by these changes. I'm probably pretty lucky being male that my body doesn't seem to be to sensitive to changes but I still firmly believe in the OP and such is the basis of my diet.

As a note final note. I've set another goal for myself to be under 100kg by October 2020. This would allow me to be back to my better self before summer here in New Zealand . I'll continue after the diet to do low carb and am going to work on incorporating more low carb replacements like almond meal into my diet. Onward and upward!!
