One Mom's Personal Journey...Back To Herself!

R2 VLCD 22 153.8 Holding Out!
I have lost the past three days.....I stopped my injections the past three days??? Weird that the last couple lbs I dropped were the days that I skipped. Funny thing is TOM is finally here today and I don't usually lose then. I will go at least three more skip days and then hopefully my Hucog will be here.

I guess this is a planned interruption and according to Simeons I can go for up to 14 days on a planned interruption by consuming 800 calories a day (adding protein: meat, eggs, cheese and milk, after 3 days of skipping injections). No dairy for me though. Correct me if I'm wrong on the interruption!

I feel great and I'm not tired or fatigued. If I need to I will up my protein a little. I'm looking forward to seeing if the interruption and Hucog will make me lose again so I am being careful not to cheat because I don't want to recover from a cheat right now. Besides, my new skinny jeans are getting baggy! I am 5 lbs from a 50 lb total loss! I am 5 lbs from getting off the BMI overweight scale! Can't wait.

Hope you are all having a great day!

    Here's what P&I says:

    "Unforeseen Interruptions of Treatment
    If an interruption of treatment lasting more than four days is necessary, the patient must increase his diet to at least 800 calories by adding meat, eggs, cheese, and milk to his diet after the third day, as otherwise he will find himself so hungry and weak that he is unable to go about his usual occupation. If the interval lasts less than two weeks the patient can directly resume injections and the 500-calorie diet, but if the interruption lasts longer he must again eat normally until he has had his third injection.

    When a patient knows beforehand that he will have to travel and be absent for more than four days, it is always better to stop injections three days before he is due to leave so that he can have the three days of strict dieting which are necessary after the last injection at home. This saves him from the almost impossible task of having to arrange the 500 calorie diet while en route, and he can thus enjoy a much greater dietary freedom from the day of his departure. Interruptions occurring before 20 effective injections have been given are most undesirable, because with less than that number of injections some weight is liable to be regained. After the 20th injection an unavoidable interruption is merely a loss of time."

    Interesting experiment... That's a very good loss. I'm so with you on not wanting to recover from cheat gain. That's what is keeping me going.
