I tried cottage cheese once and went up .2 so I decided never again!

R1 P2 VLCD 4. Down .6 this morning. Total released since pre-load 7.1 lbs. Yeah!! Hi everyone! Boy yesterday was rough, I have had the flu for the last week, but it really got bad on Saturday night. Yesterday I thought I was going to die. (not really...but I like a touch of drama!) I lost another pound yesterday even though I really didn't stick 100% with the diet. I had 1 organic egg and 2 egg whites with spinach for lunch (which I think is OK for some people), and had a bit of ground turkey chile (that I made) for supper, I just couldn't choke down anything that looked like a slab of meat if you know what I mean. Plus I took enough pain killers yesterday to shut down my liver, so I'm just glad that I lost .6!! I feel SO much better today although not 100%, but I know I will be able to stick with the diet so much better today.

I hope you're wrong wilsong25 about homeopathic not working!! I think the real test is if you're hunger is controlled on HHCG (Homeopathic HCG) during phase 2. From what I read, it was the people who really found themselves hungry on HHCG that had to switch to the real HCG. If you're hungry (REALLY HUNGRY) not just craving, the HHCG might not be working for you. If you're hunger is controlled, you have fairly normal energy, and you generally feel well while on the HHCG, it is working for you, and you can expect your hypothalmus to reset IF you follow Phase 3 protocol EXACTLY. If you do experience knawing hunger, unconrollable hunger, then you need to look at another method. If you made it 21 days, I would say that you're OK with the HHCG and can expect the stabilization to work. Does anyone agree with this??

I ordered my second round from Fran (YourHCGdiet.com), just to test the real deal. It will be real pharmaceutical grade HCG, but I will be doing the sublingual method, not the injections. I'm from Canada, so we have real issues with customs with the real HCG, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it gets through to me!! I didn't want to order the injections pkg, because with the needles and stuff, it might be more likely to be seized through customs.

Welcome and please keep us informed as to your progress in P3!! I'm really interested as well in the difference between the HHCG folks and the "Real HCG" folks.

Erecca & Colleen - I was to chicken to try cottage cheese LOL I LOVE cottage cheese & I knew I wouldn't be able to just eat 100 grams LOL I wonder if we can have this on P3???

Elainer - YOU??? You cheated with cheese samples? Was it good?? I can't wait for cheese this week......well it didn't kill you LOL and you didn't put the cheese on the burgers so that is good :/ keep on going you will be on P3 soon & in sunny AZ that is part of the reason I haven't gone to Costco while on P2 - those darn samples LOL So you had a minor laspe in willpower - at least you didn't eat the entire block of cheese LOL

Strawberry I agree on the comment to wilson!! Let us know when you get your order from Fran. Has she sent you a tracking number yet? You are off to an awesome start - keep up the great work - it is sooooo worth it :o)


I will be "building" our new P3 lounge this afternoon or evening so if anyone has any requests let me know!!!!

Strawberry - ohhhh a massage sounds sooo good. For some reason the past few days my right butt has been hurting LOL I think I lost some fair amount of fat there LOL

Make sure you are drinking A LOT of fluids right now. My son got H1N1 while my husband was in the hospital at the beginning of October when they thought they had found a heart. I was so torn between being up in San Franscico with the hubby which is where I needed to be, but my heart was dieing not being there for my son. He is 16 & NEVER gets sick. He got hit hard with it. Thank God my mom was there. She took him home & kept him at her house. When we got home hubby had to stay outside while I disinfected the entire house!! Then our daughter-in-law got it so we had to keep our twin 16 month granddaughters for a few days. Expect to feel wiped out for a little while!!! I hope you feel better soon. Make sure you disinfect the house!!!!

Thanks! My hubby stocked up on Lysol wipes yesterday. I hope no one else gets it here, but probably pretty likely.
