Hello everyone who might read this. Im currently on my 27th day of VLCD with hcg drops which im finding out now is called P3 and not P2. So far ive lost 26lbs. I have 10 more days to go. To make a long story short i am the epitome of a worrier. It almost borderlines OCD lol. But im only like this when it comes to this diet due to the fact that i want- NEED it to work so bad. I do everything to the exact measurement, count every little calorie, etc. For 3 days i was stuck at 310lbs exactly. So i decided it was time to try an apple day. I did that exactly how i was told. After starting the apple day on the 24th and finishing it on the 25th i felt good. I weighed in on the 26th and had lost 5 lbs! Now today is the 27th and i weigh in and im still at basically the same weight. Barely lost 1lb. So i ask am i doing something wrong? Or am i just worrying myself to death? This is so important to me as i still have so much to lose on the next few rounds. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

P.S. - I forgot to mention that i do my 15 minutes of treadmill/biking everyday. My shirt is usually soaked by then due to me being so out of shape and having just quit smoking 2 months ago.

You are worrying too much. You just had a 5 lb loss in one day and then you body didn't show much of a loss - That is NORMAL. Your body needs time to catch up with what you are doing. Sometimes an apple day doesn't work for some people on P2 and is used - I believe - when you have had a stall in weight loss for at least 4 days. You may also be at a previous weight - set point that you were at in the past and your body has stopped there for a day or two.

Keep doing what you have been doing and your losses will start again or you might want to go into P3 to give your body a break to adjust to your new weight. During P3, I'd suggest increasing your cardio and include some weight training so that you can begin to tone up.
