    Hi there. I am on day 36 of P2. I have lost a total of 26 lbs. The past 10 days I am up and down on the scale. I have lost 5lbs in that time but gained again and lost again. I did an apple day a few days ago and lost 2lbs but weighed this morning and gained 1lb back. Im getting a little flustered. I have been waking up with swollen hands and feet and even have some bags under my eyes. Im following the diet exactly. Im wondering if I should keep going for the last week or start with Phase 3. I know I have done well but this last week is kicking my butt with dissapointment. Any advice?

    A stall after that fast of a weight loss is very common. I'd up my water to counteract the swollen hands and feet. Are you varying your food? It sounds like you might be eating something your body doesn't like.

    sounds like water retention thats what I did all 4 rounds I had to drink extra water and lots of tea or I would just retain all i drank i had a hard time with green tea so nasty but mixed with the spicy good earth tea I lost alot those days

    yes, but you've been going a long time. Maybe your body is telling you its time for a break...

    Colleen - can one end their round before the 21 days is up?

    It's actually 23 days, meekness, not 21. That's the shortest time you can do it and have the hypothalamus reset. Then 3 more days of VLCD.

    I'm not colleen, but you have to go with at least 23 days of the drops even if you only have 5 lbs to lose according to Dr. Simeon

    I can feel with what you're going through, I was going to stop at 26 days but continued on & in the last week & a half I have been battleing the same 5 lbs! I'm on day 36 with 22lb loss, But then I found out on another thread that the fat free coffee mate in my morning cup of joe was probably doing me in! Hang in there if you can a few more days in p2, cause every bit of a loss is a victory!! And P3 through the holidays with no weight loss till next year seems like forever!! Good luck & keep plugging along. :)

    Oh that evil coffeemate! It slowed me wa-a-y down on previous rounds!

    I am so far into this round you'd think that I would have caught on earlier! "I think I didn't want to know that it was my beloved coffee" :)
