Thread: Hcg 2.0 411 Information

Today is day 7, skip day and I am down 7lbs the first week. Not bad and it's TOM so I think the first week was pretty successful. I ate some protien pancakes last night with some Waldens farm chocolate syrup and it upset my stomach badly. TMI lol. Anyone else have those issues?

VLC 11 -.4
VLC 12 -.2
-9.2 tot

Here comes the slow down... whatever, down is down going with it. Goal is -15 more I'll take -10 fingers crossed.

I learned that I did not like going long enough to need to do a full round. This feels less like a yo-yo. So what I'm doing now is a 2000 IU vial. In and out with less than 10 lbs. just to maintain. I usually end up with 12-13 days of HCG. Two go for the loadding days, one for the LDW day, and then 2 more VLCD days after that. So just about 2 weeks.

When I first started with HCG 5 years ago, I thought that if I just lost the weight, it would stay off, because I would have "reset." And some people may do that, and that's great, but I've learned for me, maintaining will always be an issue. I am always struggling with hormone balance and I have lots of foid sensitivities, so it is not as simple as just eating well. I do eat well almost all the time, but it is never enough. I'll eat something (or nothing that I can think of) and BAM! I have a gain I cannot explain. I'll do a steak day, but eventually, I get creep. I have a long history of weight issues, and really, nothing works for me as well as HCG, so that is how I choose to take off a few when I need to, before it is a lot.

The other thing is that I have a busy life and I find it difficult to schedule in rounds, so I would put them off, and then need to do a longer one, which is even harder to schedule in. I can almost always find 2 weeks to do one, though. And then I can continue my life pretty well on p3.

So I would not recommend a 2-week mini-round to anyone just starting out, but if you are at or near goal and just want to drop a little, give it a try, if you want. Some lose and maintain with a mini-round; some do not.

Ahh I see - very interesting. Thanks for explaining that.

I hear ya. We've all gotta do what we've gotta do to keep the weight off, even if it means coloring outside the lines. Heck, just being on HCG 2.0 plan, I suppose I color outside the lines myself. Gotta love the "rogue" forum!

As for me, I'm still only down 10 pounds. But I definitely feel like I've lost inches. You know it's bad when your yoga pants and your pajama pants are strangling you? That's where I was before I started my round! Now, they're all fitting properly again--some are even baggy. Woohoo! Now, to work on getting back into my old skinny jeans. THAT one may take awhile --LOL.

Everyone is out of the pancake syrup . It must be popular cause I can't get it anywhere. I have blueberry syrup. It's ok I guess

How's everyone doing?

Doing great!! Loving this version. It's so easy to follow. I'm stalled D/T starting a new workout but that's ok because my clothes are getting loser

I was "bad". Had friends in town and although I ate little to no carbs, I ate far too many protein calories AND had 1 and 1/2 glasses of wine. I've not gained but stalled the last three days. So yah. That is the price I pay.

That's too bad. I can usually get away with wine, but I drink very dry reds and count the carbs.
