I thought HCG was really diff to get hold of - where are they selling it on groupon?

I don't quite understand what you did. You were on hcg and the vlcd, then you cheated while still on the hcg, is that right? Then you decided to call your cheat a loading in the middle of your round? So now you consider yourself on a second round? Did I understand that correctly?

If so, you didn't really start a new round and you didn't load. You just cheated and now you're back on the vlcd continuing your first round. So keep on the VLCD until the end of P2 and then transition to P3 and P4.

Or, if I misunderstood and instead you stopped P2 early, didn't do P3 or P4 and are now starting again, I'd say that probably isn't the best idea. How long did you wait between rounds? Did you spend some time figuring out why you couldn't follow the protocol? Do you have plans in place to deal with future upsets so you won't derail your diet? I would take some time to let your body rest and figure out how to be successful next time.

My best advice for this protocol is to follow it exactly, including following the recommended length of a round, and including a full P3 and a full P4.

Hi Sophia. Did you continue taking the drops during your binge? Either way you should be just fine. Just count those days as a really long load and start fresh today. This is my 5th round and I've lost 80 lbs so far. Some things that have worked for me are planning my meals for the week and having them prepared and ready to go. I make a big batch of chicken at the beginning of the week and just put them in individual baggies to grab and go. I made a batch of ground beef and divide it into 100 g portions. I will eat this as spaghetti (make my own sauce) or taco salad (homemade taco seasoning - found rcp on cook.com). Or I will make burgers and eat in a lettuce wrap with a tomato. I switch up my food regularly so I don't get bored. I love cottage cheese, fage 2% (doesn't work for some but has never stalled me), steak. I even prepare my veg ahead. I cut up my fresh fruit/veg when I get home from the store so that it's waiting for me and I portion everything out in individual containers. My fridge is literally full right now of small tupperware containers that have this weeks lunch and dinner in them. It takes a day to prepare it all but once it's done I'm done! Sorry for all the food talk. I just like to be prepared. It motivates me to keep going when it doesn't feel like work!! Night time is my downfall so I have to keep myself busy. At the beginning of each round I go buy a new sudoku book and borrow new books from friends so I have something to do before bed besides sit and think of food. I also walk the treadmill daily. It just helps my mindset and focus. Good luck this round!

hey guys
So to explain... on R1P2Day 15 I broke down and ate everything i could i found out someone dear to my heart is very sick... this went on for a week (a week on sunday) monday went to an hcg clinic got some hcg injections and the dr told me to load 1 day bc i already had been loading and do vlcd as of yesterday tuesday i am doing vlcd but i woke up at 2 am and ate im determined to get tthru this no matter what I have 20 lbs to lose and as of today i decided to get all the supporrt i can from this forum friends etc... cooked all my meals bought magazines movies and a book to deal with emotional eating... im hoping this works what keeps me from cheating is this: I COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY NOW
im happy to hear this might work if i stick to it despite my cheating 22 days left!

Good luck! Don't give up - you and I sound the same I started injections April 1 and well have pretty much blown the diet everyday but didn't give up and now 6 weeks into it I finally got it together - so I'm just going to go from here and plan on continuing until the middle of July in hopes that I can get the most off now since I've finally got my head in the game.
