R2P2 - Day 2
Start weight 161.4
Today's weight 158.3
Gain/Loss -3.1
Not a bad start. Am feeling a bit hungry tonight. I may increase my drops to 15 three times a day for the next couple of days just to take the edge off. I'm also a little tired and I woke up with a headache today. To be expected. Should disappear in the next couple of days. During round 1 I had all kinds of energy, but not the first week. The first week is the getting used to the HCG and the VLCD.
Breakfast - 5
Coffee
Lunch - 275
100g grilled chicken breast
*tomato soup
apple
grissini
*Cut the tomato in half and grill until skin is blackened. Remove skin and place tomato in blender. In a sauce pan put 1/2 c chicken broth and 1 tbls tomato puree and heat over medium heat. I usually add 2 cloves of garlic and some onion powder. Add the pureed tomato. Heat through and serve. This is a great soup and you can change the flavor by adding Italian seasonings or Mexican seasoning. Sometimes I boil the chicken in chunks and add to the soup.
Dinner - 230
100g steak
2 c cabbage w/ lemon juice & vinegar dressing
strawberries
grissini
Total calories - 510
Went a little over today but since I was under yesterday I'm not worried about it. Last round I had problems because there were a couple of days in a row when I ate below 400 and it caused me to stall until I picked my calories back up.

R2P2 - Day 1
Start weight 161.4
Here we go with another round. I'm so excited to get the rest of the weight off. I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds in the 40 days. It's actually like to be in the 120's, but if I can make it down to 130 I'd be a happy camper. When my husband and I got married 12 years ago I weighed about that. So here's to round 2!!!
Breakfast - 5
Coffee w/ Vanilla stevia
Lunch - 255
100 g steak
1 1/2 c cabbage
grissini
orange
This is one of my favorite meals because it's easy to make ahead and take with you. I chop up the cabbage like for cole slaw, cook the steak and then thinly slice it and cut it into bite size pieces and put on top of the cabbage. I make a dressing of 1 tbls lemon juice, 1 tbls apple cider vinegar and 4-6 drops of stevia and pour over the whole thing, then I sprinkle it with a salt free seasoning. The longer it sets the better it taste.
Dinner - 181
100 g chicken breast
7 med strawberries
2 c salad
grissini
This has to be another of my favorite meals on HCG. I take 3 of the strawberries and put them in the blender with 1 tbls lemon juice, 1 tbls apple cider vinegar and stevia to taste and blend. I put the salad in a bowl and cut the left over strawberries and place on top, then I cook the chicken, cut it up into bite size pieces and put it on top of the salad. Pour the dressing over the top and enjoy!
Total Calories - 441
I need to be careful and make sure the I don't drop too far below 500 or I'll start to hold the weight like I did last time.

R2P1 - Day 1-3 Loading
Start weight 157.0
Ending weight 161.4
Gain 4.4
Not bad for a 3 day load. Last round I did a 2 day load and gained 4.1 pounds. I'm not worried because I know that I will lose it in the next 2 days. For this round I'm going to use my high weight, that way I can see how much I lose including what I gained in the load days, so my start weight for round 2 will be 161.4. That still puts me 11.2 pounds under my original start weight of 172.6.
As to what I ate on my load days......it was not only our anniversary but also Super Bowl Sunday! Yikes!!! We had a big family dinner Friday night which included steak, coconut shrimp, rolls with butter, peas, chocolate covered cherries, cheese cake, wine.....couldn't handle any more salad. Then Saturday morning after a family breakfast of eggs, bacon, cinnamon rolls and toast with butter, we headed out of town to spend the night. Anniversary dinner at the Outback was Victoria Filet (we split an order), ceasar salad, mashed potatoes, scallops and I had a margarita and a mojito with dinner. We got a late start Sunday morning and had donuts and chicken mcnuggets and fires on the way home. Supper bowl sunday was steak, ribs, pasta salad, dips and chips, mai tais, beer, rice crispy treats, brownies......etc!!! I was hurting by the time we left, but I think I did a pretty good job of loading with lots of fat!!! Hopefully it will make the firs few days on the drops easier and I wont be hungry!

R1P3 - Day 26
Start weight 172.6
LDW 155.0
Today's weight 155.5
Gain/Loss -.8
This post is for Thursday, February 3rd. I'm a little behind. Eating more calories really helped. I was pleasantly impressed with the loss. It will be interesting to see how I do on my load days which begin tomorrow! 3 days of loading this time instead of the 2 days I did on Round 1. I only did 26 days on the HCG and this Round I'm going for a full 40 and maybe even a little more. Since I'm doing the homeopathic drops instead of the injections, there's less chance of becoming immune to the HCG so theoretically, I should be able to go for a longer period of time and still lose the weight, but we'll have to wait and see. I may be so totally done after 40 days I'll be glad to quit!
I'm not going to list what I ate today, but it wasn't much. I was only at or around 1200 calories, so it may show up on the scales tomorrow. I was hoping to start loading at this weight but we'll see. I am going to miss my greek yogurt with blueberries and almonds!

R1P3 - Day 25
Start weight 172.6
LDW 155.0
Today's weight 156.2
Gain/Loss +.2
I upped my calories to a little over 1600 yesterday but it obviously wasn't enough. Decided to push for between 1900 and 2000 today. I managed to have a little over 1800. It was the best I could do and I didn't eat as good as I could have. I picked up fresh cherries and ate about 4 cups of them, not to mention the blueberries and pineapple. I did try to balance the fruit with protein; almonds, yogurt and cheese.
I'm getting ready to begin Round 2 and am very excited about it. My 2 daughters and my mother are going on this round with me. I'm shooting for 40 days, but may stick with it longer if I haven't lost all the weight I want to. I'm hoping for 30 pounds this round. I'm loading this weekend and will start the VLCD on Monday, February 7th.

R1P3 - Day 24
Start weight 172.6
LDW 155.0
Today's weight 156.0
Gain/Loss +.4
I'm up a little today. I gained back the .4 that I lost yesterday. I guess not eating much yesterday didn't help. It's just hard to wrap your mind around eating more to lose weight when you've been a life time dieter. Still a hard concept to grasp. Anyway.....I managed to get my calories up to over 1600 today so we'll see what the scales read tomorrow.
Breakfast - 335
Scrambled eggs with ham and cheese
2 eggs
1 1/2 oz ham
1/4 c colby jack cheese
Mid morning snack - 188
2/3 c cottage cheese
2/3 c pineapple
Lunch - 320
1 c greek yogurt
1 c blueberries
1 oz raw almonds chopped
stevia to taste
Afternoon snack - 340
2 c cherries
1 oz raw almonds
Dinner - 473
8 oz pork chop
2 c cherries
Total calories - 1,655
I picked up fresh cherries today because they were on sale and then couldn't resist them! They were so good. I still tried to keep my proteins up. Tomorrow should be interesting.
