Sherrisews: You said you handled pepperoni - Dr. S says that ANY contact with fat, fatty acids, butters and oils can cause slow lose, stalsl and more often than not, gains. The oils are absorbed through the skin. So avoid touching or handling ANY food product that is off-protocol, sausages and pepperni contain very much fat :-) This also goes for creams, lotions, hair care, makeup. I use a hair conditioner on my ends that contains oils and various kinds of butters, but I make sure to wear gloves and make sure that when I rinse it out that the rinse never get in contact with my skin, scalp etc. Never had a problem. Gloves are your best friend on HCG, if you want just a bit of luxury in your daily life, or just keep it sane and tolerable ;-)

Also, stalls are normal, I've been there myself. But if you've read my "my skin is crawling all over me" in the general forum, you will see that a stall can be a blessing in disguise, perhaps you can find a bit of encouragement and comfort in my post. There is also a fantastic sticky-tread in the "P2" forum that is called "Stalls", I read that and got so over my worries, self-pity and feeling of not loosing 'enough' and the idea that stalls are pure evil.

You are doing great and have lost more per day than I could ever hope for, so keep on going!
Good luck!
