Round 2 has begun. Day 3 and down 3.8lbs so very happy about that. It does seem like I am a bit more hungry on this round, but I have to keep reminding myself that hcg is still most likely building in my body so those afternoon hunger pangs are normal. It is so much harder though, after being able to eat fats whenever I wanted them. The higher fat in my diet during P3/P4 kept the hunger away as well as any cravings. I just have to stay focused on the "prize" (goal weight!) and what a fun
The day is here to start round 2. I have actually been looking forward to this for awhile. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED P3/P4 and finally know for sure that I can control my weight long term. I just have to pay attention. I was out of town this past week with eating ALL meals in restaurants. I purchased a travel scale to bring with me and didn't gain an ounce until the day before we left - I know this was due to too much carb type foods at dinner.

Well, so far so good on P3. I was a bit worried about this as are a lot of us due to regaining lost weight time and time again. I have been pleasantly surprised however!
LIW = 183.8, current weight 181.2
A few things about P3 for me:
I actually have been eating Fage Greek Yogurt from the beginning (per clinic) so no problem with dairy. I of course tried cheese right away and again no problems at all. I have had avocados (eating an entire small one one day) and actually
I have finally finished my vial so today was my last injection weight day. Overall I am so pleased with how this round went (38lbs total in 66 days). There is no way I could have done this without the hcg killing the hunger. I am ready to stabilize now, moving into P3/P4 and then ready for round 2! Already have my hcg supplies. I am really looking forward to the next round and I will finally be able to see quite a difference when I finish it. I mean, I had a lot of weight to lose and so I know I
