LDW, Phase 2, Day 34

Today is going to be my last day on the drops. That means that this morning's weight is my LDW. 239.6. I decided to end the drops early because my body is just telling me that I need a break. I had a rash show up on my hairline on the back of my neck. It has really been itching like crazy for the past few days. I have also just been feeling off for the past few days. The maximum weight you are supposed to lose in one round is 34 lbs, anyway. I am at -31.8 lbs. As much as I want to lose the extra weight that would hopefully come off with a few extra days, my body is telling me I'm done.

What happens now?

Now that I am stopping my drops, I will continue the VLCD for two days (since it is homeopathic drops - if it were Rx drops, it would be 3 days). On the 3rd day, I can start Phase 3. This is where I will up my calories and add more foods into my diet. Basically everything except sugar and starches. I am planning on starting easy; adding eggs for breakfast. Possibly making it into an omelet? Yum! I have had eggs a few times while on P2. While it is a little rogue to have eggs, it didn't effect my weight. Since I have had eggs, I am not worried about adding them in P3. I will be adding cheese on P3 Day 1. I am excited for that one. I also have found a recipe for lasagna that uses either eggplant or zucchini in place of the noodles. I can't wait to try that! Mmmm, food. I am hoping I will lose more inches in P3.

I plan on doing another few rounds of hcg. I will be starting round 2 in June. I will be doing a short round then. (23 days) After having done a 34 day round, I have no problems imagining myself being able to do a shorter round.

Sunday was my measurement day. Here are the results:

waist: stayed the same (total -5")

hips: -1" (total -5.5")

chest: -1" (total -4")

thigh: -1" (total -3")

arm: stayed the same (total -2")
