23 days vs. 40 ~ injections

Hi all,
I am taking my break starting Monday after having lost 19.5 lbs.....(day 39) I have learned alot about stalls this 1st round winking

I can see from my weight loss record that I really did not loose but 4 lbs after day 23 !!!! So it would seem to follow that on the next round I should only go 23 days and not try to be so stubborn in thinking that the stalls will just go away. I stayed on protocol but it certainly was discouraging. So maybe doing the short rounds is better for me......I was very pleased that the hunger was/has never been an issue for me. Phase 3 scares me to death ... which is part of the previous reluctance to "let it go". Now, the length of phase 3 is my current delimma. I am too impatient to do phase 4 so the issue is 3 weeks or 2 for P3? I need help making this decision. What has been your experience ?

You know there's something to be said for either choice. I think it all depends on how you're feeling at the end of those first 2 weeks. It usually takes a week or so just to get things stabilized in my experience with phase 3 so just play it by ear and see how you feel. If you feel you're ready to jump right back to phase 2 after only 2 weeks, go for it. If not, give yourself some more time. way to go

Hello all!

Okay, so I’ve been doing P2 for almost 20 days now without missing a dosage and decided that I wanted to continue with P2 and do 40 days of HCG (I originally wanted to do 26 days.) Since I haven’t been skipping dosage for one day a week (as Dr. S advise for the 40 day injection), I’m afraid that I might become Immune to HCG. What do you guys think? I would reach my goal weight before the 40 days if I continue to lose as I have been. Should I take a break after the 26th injection, do P3, and then go back on P2? Or should I continue onto 40 days. Please help…I’m in a dilemma!

Hello 26,
My resolve to do 23days dissolved! This 2nd round has been very different from the 1st. "Very" might be a stretch - the looonnnggg stalls did not materialize but the short ones did. My goal was to get 15lbs. off come "hell or high water". I have but it's been a tedious process - not helped by the weekend cheats. I am still doing the injections and on day 38. LOL Gain one - loose one not stopping till it's a solid 15. I continue to learn what I'm sensitive to - can't breath in or lick on a carb. I did kick up the dosages on this round - started at 150 then 175 currently 250 - which I had said "I did not see the point to being so high" (Dr. S recommended 125) But figured what the heck - those little HCG guys have a lot to rearrange - and they have done a very good job. "Hunger" still not an issue but cravings and putting something in my mouth just 'cause i have a mouth continue to be issues. If only duct tape made fashionable lipstick. SOOOO deciding how long to do a round is a choice only you can make - if you feel good - are not sick to death of the protocol - have plenty of product - are continuing to loose - go for it. Immunity does not seem to be an issue. Good luck - Hope to be seeing "less" of you soon, Cheryl (' way to go

')
