    I am a 50 years female from India. I started my regimen on 29th November and have around 60 pounds to lose. This is the first-ever round for me. I am on 200 IU subcutaneous HCG.
    My weight before injection on 29 Nov - 200.6
    30 Nov (after one day of loading) - 201.6
    1 Dec (after two days of loading) - 201.0
    2 Dec (after first VLCD) - 200.6
    My first day of VLCD was strictly as per the protocol. NO deviations. I drank around 4 litres of water because I was thirsty. I generally drink as much water every day.
    How come I did not lose a single pound? Have I stalled on the very second day?

    You lost .4 which is just below the average for women. Give it a few days. Have you been hungry? Tired? Weak? If not then I would just wait it out a couple days. I bet your weight loss picks up tomorrow or the next day.

    The whole scam that you will lose 1# a day is a scam. If the average woman loses .5# a day then people have had to lose more and less than that a day.

    A stall is when you go 4 or more days without losing any weight. You are losing. Just slowly.

    Chin up! Keep going! You will feel great!

    archie- it could be for a lot of reasons, so don't fret. as long as you're doing everything per protocol you're going to lose whatever you can.

    are you sure you mixed correctly?

    Thanks for such a prompt response, mgsondance and Erecca. That in itself is a big reassurance.

    I am exactly at my first day body weight before starting the regimen. The four injections have not made any difference (not including the loading days, I mean).

    Yes, I am pretty sure about my mixing. I have checked it many times. In fact, I was perplexed at first so I mixed a new batch on the first day itself. Since I could not make out the liquid content clearly in the syringe the first time, I mixed another 2000 IU with 1 ml of bac water and 1 ml of injectable vitamin B12 to give it color. I inject 2 units of this mixture. The first one is in the fridge still intact.

    No, I was not hungry, or tired or weak yesterday. There was a bit of headache though very mild.

    And sure, I will stick to the protocol till the end - in my case, 40 injections with a weekly break. And I will not cheat...PROMISE.

    are you using in lotions or oil based makeup? Sometimes even the littlest thing can cause you not to lose weight.

    I am using an oil free face wash, aloe vera jel as moisturizer and lipstick. It's winter here and my skin is getting dry fast.

    Will wait till tomorrow morning to see my results.

    No hunger, weakness or tiredness today too.

    you technically lost .6 after your first day of dieting. That's still not great but hopefully tomorrow is better. when you say you are following the protocol, is it Dr. S's protocol or something a dr gave you?

    Hi. New to this forum, but I also am experiencing this same issue. It's very discouraging. I did the HCG diet a year ago. (Took a year off to see if I'd have any issues keeping the weight off and had none) When I did the protocol last year, the first couple of weeks I lost an average of 1.5-2 lbs a day. I started the VLCD on Saturday, lost 3 lbs the first day but since only losing .4 - .8 per day. I don't get it. I'm not deviating from the diet. I've double checked my numbers to make sure I mixed properly (and I think I did). No lotion, make-up, etc. I just ordered some HCG testing strips to test the potency of my solution.

    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    spydr- i just answered this on another post, but the loss you're having now is very normal. we almost never see anyone lose 1.5 to 2# a day for 2 weeks- i suspect that was a lot of water weight from cutting out carbs. you're doing fine! the average for women over the length of the round is .5 to .75 per day, so 20-30# in a 40-day round, or 12-17# in a short round.

    So I can actually do a 40 day round without the 6 week break or would it be better to do the 6 week break before round 2
