Day 5 of reset phase and so far so good. I'm well below my last drop day weight - almost 2 pounds. So, I"m hoping I really am able to keep off the weight. I sure am craving a dessert though! So far I"ve been able to get through the craving.....but I"m a huge ice cream lover and giving that up was about like giving up crack cocaine for me. Or what I would imagine it would be like. Thank God, I have not had to battle that! Althought I guess I should think of ice cream the same way....it only gets me somewhere I don't want to go. And that is in muffin top land!

I do plan on doing another round and hopefully drop another 20 pounds. Then I think that is all I will do. Provided I keep off all the weight from this reset, another 20 pounds will put me within 10 pounds of my goal. I think I can learn to live with that.

Hello! No worries - I haven't been very regular on the forum this week either as I've been swamped at work. Well, I got very sick over the weekend with my stomach and I got knocked out of ketosis. I kept to the diet as best as I could and the drops but obviously couldn't hold a lot in. Bottom line, I made my last drop day, day 38 as I figured any additional weight I lost while out of ketosis was not going to be fat anyway. Today is my second day of no drops and 500 calories. Did you do only 2 days like that or 3? Another friend said she read that it's better to do 3 days but I think that's for the injections - from everything I've read. Just wondering how you handled it?

Yay! no MUFFIN TOP!

Hi! Sorry it took me a few days to notice I had a notification at the top of the screen! thank you for reaching out, you are the first person I've met on NuMedica as well. You look like you are doing so well! I'm on R1P2D27 and am down 18.6 pounds so far. I originally thought about doing a short round and re-setting then doing another short round but I think I'm going to try to stick it out for the long round. Did you do the long one the first time? How was your reset? There is no phase 4 on our protocol is there? Other than just going back to 'normal' eating.

Thank you Becky!
Maybe once everyone is in P3 again we can organize a night out for dinner. What do you think?

Glad to hear you are feeling better!!!
