Well I’ve been off the diet for 5 days now.  It just wasn’t working anymore and I know when to quit while I’m ahead.

I’m still feeling great and really don’t want to eat that much.

My wife on the other hand was trying to go longer and even was going to use my remaining HCG.  This morning she finally gave in after really not feeling that good…light headed, weak, etc.  After eating this morning some real food, she felt much, much better.

She knew she should have quit a few  days ago but kept on pushing it.

This is the second time I stopped early.  It seems to stop working at around 30 days for me.

Overall I believe she lost 25+.  I lost around 18 during Round 2.

As we take a 5 week break we plan on going to a “Well for Life” program.  Actually I believe we will be on this program for ever.  I’ve seen the program and it’s something that I can do.

After the break we will go on Round 3.

Like I promised at the end of Round 1 I will try and provide updates and how we are doing.

Finally, I did find an interesting blog about the negative aspects of HCG from nutritionist Rebecca Scritchfield.  I decided to leave my 2 cents on her blog. As I mentioned at the start of this blog I was going to list the Good, Bad and the Ugly of HCG.  I don’t really agree with her (as you can see in my comments). You can decide for yourself.

Down .8 with 8 more injections (we came up 2 short).  It would really be nice if I could drop down to 127 by the end of this thing.  Although I know the hunger has been creeping up on me.

I’ve been taking the Life Caps to take off the edge.  So far they have been working.

Losing again.  Thank you Jesus.

Starting to get hungry again.  This happened last time around Day 30 something.  I ended up stopping early last time.  I may again.

My wife is thinking of going longer than 40 days.

She’s at the weight she was when we were married 16 years.  I’m about 40lbs heavier still.

She wants to go down another 30 or more.  I still want to lose another 40.

Wish I had nickle for each person I referred to the clinic.  They’ve got to being making big $$ off this program.

I’m looking to start up again around Thanksgiving and go back on the program at Christmas time.  My wife thinks I’m nuts.  I think it is the best time to ‘diet’ so I won’t be tempted by all the goodies at work.

Yikes, up?  I’ve been peaked here for about 4 days.  In fact, I went up a bit.

This happened last round too.  It’s very frustrating.  My wife is going through the same thing.  Hopefully I’ll break the cycle tomorrow.

Dropping more and more.  Still feeling great. Still not hungry at all.

My wife and I were thinking of going longer than the 40 days if possible.  I’m not sure if anyone else has had any  luck in doing this.

Just a thought.

The beat goes on.

I was hoping to offer additional insights and great thoughts while on Round 2 but so far nothing has sprung up.  Sorry.

I continue to lose weight at a very acceptable pace.  I’m not hungry at all and really don’t eat a whole lot.  This round I cheat be eating extra bread sticks, probably 5-8 a day.  I’m also drinking diet cokes, 1-2 a day.  Finally I’ll have a sugar free Popsicle each day.

I’m also not exercising.  Although I’m fairly active while at work and walk a bit from building to building.

My wife and brother-in-law continue to lose, although they have had great fluctuation on how and when they lose.  My wife also experiences ‘hunger’ much more than she did the first time.  Weekends for me are the worst although I believe that since I ‘cheat’ with extra bread sticks that my stomach is happier.

My skinny clothes are getting to big on me and my guess is that I’m going to need to look at buying something.  I definitely need new belts.

Losing about the same I did first round, around .5 each day.

Still not hungry and barely eating my 500 a day.  Probably eating only 300 per day.

I shrunk out of my belts.  The last notch is to big.  Searching through the back of the closet looking for old ‘skinny’ clothes.  I’m finding a few.

I was thinking of setting a new goal.  Not so much weight as much as waist line.  I started at around 48.  I’m down to 43 or 42 right now.  My goal is 38.  Again, I’m not so concerned about my weight as much as waistline in getting there.  My guess is that I will be around my goal weight (in the 190′s).

The beat goes on.

Down 1.2 from two days ago.  This is a good thing.  Got a little hungry this weekend, but it tapered off yesterday.  My wife is down .6 from yesterday.

It’s Labor Day today.  No stuffing my face today at a BBQ, which is probably a good thing.

My skinny pant are starting to get to big for me. A friend of mine told me of a number of seamstresses from Korea in a local nearby city.  I’ll be checking with one of them to see if they can tailor my suits.  I’m really not interested in purchasing new clothes just yet, as I know I have more to lose.

Speaking of more to lose, my wife and I are trying to decide when to do our third round.  We should be done with round 2 around October 1ish.  My feeling is to start our binge during Thanksgiving and diet during Christmas time.  I know there will be tons of goodies and treats at work so it would be a good time to totally avoid any of that crap.  I went on a diet during Christmas 20 years ago and it really worked out good for me.  Everybody else was gaining and I was losing.

We’ll see.

Peace.

Down a pound again.  Wow, the poundage if flying off this round and absolutely no hunger at all.

My wife finally got over the hump she was on and lost 1.5.  I remember last time I was on hold for around 4 days.  It’s very frustrating when that happens so I’m glad it finally kicked in for her again.

Hoping that I can continue feel this way.

Peace.
