You are going at this the wrong way, though, and with wrong expectations.

Average loss for women is 0.5 - 0.75 lbs a day. The first week is rapid, because a) you are losing your loading weight, and b) you are losing water retention. The closer you get to goal weight the slower it gets, too. Throw in TOM and cardio exercise, and you are actually doing exceptionally well.

I gained 4.5 lbs within 24 hours on TOM. Just saying. And cardio exercise can cause water retention and inflammation... not necessarily bad, but the scale might not accurately reflect if you are losing abnormal fat.

P3 and P4 cannot be skipped, though many of us just stay on P3 for 6 weeks, instead of splitting that. Why bother introducing carbs, if those made me fat in the first place, and I just gotta cut them out for the next round? You are resetting your hypothalamus. In order for this to catch, you actually gotta get it working again. It not only helps with stabilization (which is essential in between rounds), it also helps to keep your skin tight.

There will also be some reshaping in P3, so you will most likely still lose inches then. Don't bother counting calories or watching your fat intake - that is not P3. P3 means having fun with meat, fish, veggies, and healthy fats. Real fun. Honestly, I love P3.

You now know that it is a huge commitment to do HCG. Do it right. Otherwise, you will look back a couple of weeks later, and wonder why you wasted your time...
