    I started vlcd on Tuesday and today was pretty hungry. Wasn't expecting to be since my boss started the week before and he has experienced no hunger. Also he has lost 20 lbs. in less than two weeks. I never have been a fast loser. Only need to lose about 25 lbs. I will start P3 the day after Thanksgiving. Depending on how much I lose this time will determie if I do it again in January. Is hunger normal the first week? I stuffed myself on the two loading days - didn't think I would ever be hungry again.

    gale -- hunger is definitely normal in the first week. You say you stuffed yourself, but with what? I take it you are doing a 23 day round? the average loss for a woman is .5-.75 a day. Some lose less some lose more. This is my VLCD16 for me and at my first VLCD I was 221.8 I am now 203.2 so if you divide my loss of 18.5 by 16 vlcd I have lost an average of 1.15 lbs a day. some days I have lost only .2 others (especially at the first) I have lost 2-3 lbs a day. I tell you this so you won't get discouraged if you don't see that 25lbs this round. I would assume that you are going to lose 12-13 lbs and anything over that would be icing on the cake.

    My goodness I had to read & read to catch up on the day here! So of course by the time I went through like 5 pages I can't remember who asked me what LOL

    I had headaches off & on this whole time. Nothing major though which is unusual for me usually a minor headache turns into a major migraine -and that is what happened today :o( for the first time since I started this diet I had a major migraine today. I have been taking meds all day long trying not to have to go to the doctors for a shot. I just pray all the meds doesn't cause a gain in the morning :o(`

    Oh shoot everyone I gotta go UCSF just called & their may be a potential heart!!!!!!!! Please pray. I will get back on when I know more

    :o( well the donor heart was not going to be the right size :o( this is such an emotional roller coaster. We were called at 4:30 in the morning on Oct 3 because they had found a heart - got all the way up to UCSF (long drive for us) & the heart ended up being no good. They decided to keep him over the weekend "just in-case) & that Monday they were going to do a test & send us home. All of a sudden they came back in & said they found another one! The catch was that there was a guy in ICU that needed a heart AND kidneys so it would come down to who was a better match. Well the guy got it because the kidneys were good to. So needless to say this last month has been crazy & emotional for us. I am surprised that I have managed to lose any weight let alone 17.4 lbs with all the stress! So now we are back in waiting mode :o( at least this time we weren't at the hospital waiting!! But this did not help the migraine at all.

    Shoot, now I forget what I was saying earlier about everything that everyone had posted LOL

    I have good news though! MY bra is on the tightest hook & my boobs are STILL sliding out LOL & I have to keep pulling up my jeans LOL I am quite a sight trying to put my boobs back in & pull up my pants. My husband keeps laughing at me :/ I refuse to buy new jeans since I will be losing more :o) time to pull out the smaller bras I guess!!!

    Nutshell hang in there, The Lord's time is never too late or too early, keep believing for a new heart for your hubby.
    I am happy for your losses! I am wearing bras that I was ready to give to my sister because I thought I'd never fit them again.

    TXNfoot, that man on your fb is probably trying to make a sale and get you to trust his product more than the hhcg, you did great by brushing him off with the answer you gave him.

    Chasing, yes, expect the skeptics to talk about you saying "that diet can't be healthy" but I bet when you are done losing weight they will all want to know the secret. As for being honest about it, like Erecca said, be vague about it, I tell them I am on a special diet by a Doctor, they think my Doctor prescribed it and I let them think that. I was honest with my close friends and family but all the others that can't handle the truth I just tell them it is a clinical diet. And when someone tells you this diet can't be healthy ask them if they think being fat is any healthier.

    THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS AND SUPPORT! I HONESTLY COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THIS GROUP HELPING ME THRU THE TOUGH SPOTS AND ANSWERING MY MILLION QUESTIONS!!!

    Today is R1P2D4 less of a loss today :( only down .4. What I did different was to eat shrimp for lunch and cod for dinner. The previous days were only chicken, otherwise exactly the same and to protocol. Any thoughts ladies?
