    I am on day #35 of the long protocol. I'm on my 29th injection. I started at 162 lbs. and am stalled now for 3 weeks and 3 days at 153 lbs. I've tried an apple day (for which I lost a pound; then gained it back the next day). I've tried walking 30 minutes/day for the last week. I've tried an apple and steak day. Nothing seems to move this. I have not cheated at all. Should I stick with the 40-day protocol? Any suggestions most welcome - this is frustrating!!

    steak days are only for phase 3 when you ssee a weight gain of 2 or more lbs over LIW. Apple days are for phase 2 (while taking shots) but it is psychological to help you drop water weight. Is your hcg stll good and how much are you taking?It has a shelf life of 20-30 days. Plus they say if you are using 2" needles IM then you use 125 iu and if you are using shorter needles SQ(subcutaneous) then you need to take 175 to 200 iu.

    I am at the end of my first cycle..tomorrow will be my last injection (4wks) and for the first three weeks I have lost 20 lbs...now for the last week I am absolutely stalled. I even did an apple day and still nothing. I finally lost one lb this morning. I have not cheated (although it has been the toughest month of my life) and it is very frustrating. So, I know how you feel. I really think sticking with it and drinking lots of water will eventually get us back on track! I wish you luck and don't give up just yet! I would also be sure to call the clinic or Dr. you are seeing and talk with them! Are you losing inches? Hang in there!

    widaniels- the average for women over the length of the protocol is .5 to .75#/day, so even at 21# you're on the top end of the average!

    obrienflowerlover, there is definitely something wrong. Have you read Dr. Simeons' book. Steak days are a no no on P2.
    What type of hcg are you taking? It sounds like you have some impotent product. how long have you had it? Some have had these problems with the homeopathic hcg. Did you mix this yourself or order it?
    Are you using oil free mineral makeup? Lotions? What are you eating?
    HOw much hcg are you using?

    wldaniels, mgsondance is right. Are you on Tom?

    I am stuck also. I am on a transdermal cream and working with a clinic- very expensive. On week three and only lost 6# I feel this is another diet that just won't work I am very discouraged. I have followed all the directions. weighed food etc. What causes the plateau. It's been a week now

    I'm just not too sure about that cream, jsinfla. The only people I know on the forum who have tried that method of delivery have had struggles. How much weight do you have to lose? This protocol really works when the hcg is delivered properly.
