    I have really really screwed up! I want to cry! To make this short and sweet-I did a 23 day cycle(lost 13 .5 lbs). My LID was the day(Last Thurs) I was supposed to see tom.I was starving andthought I would just go ahead and stop for 3 wks then go back to VLCD. I have been so off my diet the last three days(couldn't even make oit thry the 3 vlcd w/out injections. TOM finally started today and after finding the nerve I weighed(night) and am up 8lbs( I normally put on 5 lbs during TOM). So-Here is my question: Should I start back on my vlcd tomorrow and injections or do a steak day and see what happens? I was thinking at least if I started back tomorrow, it would be like I did a mini load(albeit unhealthy and prob better than my original load). If I did a steak day then went back on vlcd I might be super hungry. IDK what to do but need to make a decision. Please help me ladies!

    I can't answer that one but I'm not sure how many of our pros on this late...make sure you bump this if you don't get an answer soon and maybe someone will see it early in the morning.

    Good Luck!!!

    How long have you been off the injections? Going off the vlcd with hcg in your system can really pack on the weight. TOM probably has alot to do with it too.

    It really depends on what you want to do. If you want to continue on in P2 then get back on the injections tomorrow. If you would rather call it quits for this round then do a steak day followed by very clean days with lots of proteins.

    What do you want to do?

    Are you following the P3 rules? No starches or sugars? If so, I would do a steak day. Skip breakfast, it's ok to have coffee with heavy cream in it, and LOTS of water. Then for dinner, have a huge steak and a raw tomato or apple. If that helps you recover, just maintain P3, if not, well I'm afraid that's where my experience is no longer helpful. I would seek the advice of the more experienced posters on this site. I hope this helps and I'm willing to bet that gain has more to do with your TOM than anything. Good luck and let us know how things turn out :)

    I was so starved the last few days of injections(last one was on the 10th) that I was thinking maybe I just needed a break but now I think I just need to go back on VLCD and ride it out as long as possible or at most 40 days. I have done atkins and I know that I'm nowhere near ketosis at the moment and have had WAY too many carbs. I have terrible PMS! I still have 15 lbs to lose and I'm thinking right now I've only gained 3lbs(hoping the rest is water). What about if I started back on shots in the a.m. and then did a lean steak on the GF grill that night w/out oils, etc? Like a 6 oz? I wonder if that would help me come back down?Or just veggies and protein(w/out salts or much seasonings) and teas? AHHH! SO STUPID! I crave carbs during TOM-I feel awful and swollen and gross!

    If you stopped the injections because you were hungry, then you need to go back on and get the dose fixed so you are not hungry. Otherwise, you'll regain much of the weight very easily. Hunger means you are losing the wrong kind of fat. Then when you break, your body wants to pack it back on. So I'd go back on shots this morning and get back on the diet. That weight will come right back off. What dose are you taking? We need to know that to help you adjust it so you're not hungry.

    Yea, if you were hungry you really do need to get back on the injections. Tell us your dose (iu's not volume) and method so we can help.

    Ok- I'm doing around 210-220 ius. I bumped up my dose- but I only have a couple days left of that and then I have a 2000 ampule to mix so maybe I just need new hcg. I almost think mine has been a bad batch of just mixed weak? It was a 5000 and if grammy may recall I had questioned it already. The next thing I need to know is how much bact H2O to mix w/my 2000 amp., how much to inject for 200 iu injections, and how many days will this last? I have more that I ordered a little over a wk ago from ADC so cross your fingers it gets here in time before I run out! Ok-one last thing for now: today should I just do a normal VLCD day? Maybe just leave off at least part of the fruit and def the melba?
    Thanks girls!!I'm feeling a little better about things plus I was 1.5 lbs lighter this a.m. Maybe I haven't ruined everything :(
