    jilldzinr...we must have ordered from the same site...I haven't heard anyone else really mention the dropper and syringe...i don't count the drops...just squirt it right in lol!!

    I don't eat the melba or grissini...I had trouble finding them in the beginning and found them on day 3...was afraid to mix them in now!! I may use them in a recipe though in the next week!!

    And yes I remember reading that as well...I do notice my muscles to be a bit more fatigued than usual...but nothing that bothers me too much.

    Can't wait to hear from you tomorrow...good luck...and enjoy that chicken!!

    jilldzinr - it's okay to go there, because I'm thinking the same thing and hearing you verbalize that gives us a little more strength knowing that I'm not the only one. I just had my most amazing cajun shrimp and am eating vinegar cucumbers, which I totally love. I was in HHCG for 3-4 days (about a month ago) and had some trauma and am now getting back to this. This is only day 1 of VLCD, but the weekend is going to be a challenge. My sweetie is coming home and I haven't seen him in a week. His job is on the road. On Fridays when/if he comes home, we like to go out to dinner and then go out for a few drinks. The temptation is tough, but, in 1 week I could actually see and feel a difference, unlike WW, in which it took me like 2 months to see a difference. I am soooo having a tough time eating today. I'm not even close to being hungry, but I am on my 4th 16.9 oz bottle of water.

    My sweetie is making grilled, crab-stuffed rainbow trout tonight. He wants to stuff some for me, I laughed when he asked me that. It would kind of be like stuffing a guppy... LOL.

    dreamseeds, just to reiterate what was already stated, that you should do P3 and P4 for a total of 6 weeks before you start again. I'm in P3, but I'm going to wait until mid-May to start my next round. It was not my intention to do more than one round, either, as I only wanted to lose 20 lbs. and I thought that would be easy. Then I gained 5 more during loading for a total of 25 I needed to take off. I only lost 16...15 if I use my LDW, not my lowest weight. I had a lot of stalls and weekly gains with very small net losses each week after the first week. So, I'll have 10 to lose, as well, in the 2nd round. Actually, it wouldn't hurt me to lose a bit more, so if I can manage to lose 15 in the next round I will be very happy. It's a total change in perspective for me to only expect to lose 10-15 lbs. I was expecting a miracle in the first round...like a 30 lb. loss which would put me at my lowest adult weight. Good luck to you!

    Cafehonor I think I understand where you are coming from...I am R2VLCD12 and down 12.2 (8.7 pre load) my thoughts are that I was going to lose about 20 to 25. Now I am thinking on a 23 day plan that is not very likely, especially considering where I am now. How long was your first round? How is R3 going? Would a wedding reception be tough to do on it? A friend's daughter's wedding is 4/10 and I am thinking I will plan to be a week into P3 by then so I can be prepared for what I can and cannot eat.

    Were most of your loses in P2 under 1 lb? In 12 days only 5 have been 1lb or higher, the first two and then two after detox bathes, and then I gained some the next day...so those dont count! Seems like most people are losing 1 or more each day...but no stalls yet so I guess I will take the lower losses!

    zip6, my round was 32 days. I was going to go for 40, but stopped early for several reasons. Yes, most of my losses were under 1 lb. In a typical week I would lose a couple pounds in the first couple days, stall, gain, stall, and then lose again for a net loss of just over 1 lb. for the week! It got to be pretty frustrating. P3 is going very well so far, except that it has been challenging to get in a significant amount of calories. My first day I barely got over 1000 and have been inching up since then. Today at 3:30 I think I'm up past 1000 already, which is good! Tonight's dinner is going to pack a big calorie punch! :-) I had a 3 lb. gain from my lowest weight on the first day of P3, but as of today, that's all gone. I think my body was doing its typical water retention thing. You should be fine at the wedding as long as you stay away from anything that might have starch or sugar. There may not be much to eat! Do you know what the menu will be? I'm going to a dinner party tomorrow night and I am prepared to go a bit hungry. I'll bring a protein shake along, just in case.

    The mother of the bride is a work friend so we have heard her plan the whole thing...fulll buffet, so I think I am going to be ok with meats, veggies and fruit. I told her the other day at lunch I was eating all meat, another friend joked that she was just going to drink since it was an open bar ;) I am glad that P3 is going well for you. My sister, niece, and I are all doing this together. Niece is about 10 days ahead of us, but she is going longer. My sister and I finish day 23 a day or so before she had knee replacement surgery. So our job is to layout a menu for her and make sure her husband is prepared to take care of her in a P3 friendly way! So we are a bit anxious about getting all the detials together. Another big obstacle is she is very picky..I am typically, but she is only eating green beans, and drinking grapefruit juice as her veggie and fruit...so we have a big challenge.

    Have you tried the cauliflower pizza? We are all hoping that is good! Thanks for the encouragement.
