Ready for Round 2 - HCG

Okay, since I've stabilized. I've had a ball. I've gone to a conference in San Diego. I spent two weeks on a college campus where all of my meals were prepared by someone else. Over the lst couple of months, I have not been on a diet. I eat cookies, cakes, ice cream, spaghetti, bread . . . Ugh. Now, I know some of this was because I knew that I was going to do another round, but can I tell you that I have gained only under 4 pounds. That is freaking amazing. Honestly!

Okay, so I want to continue to lose weight because my BMI is not normal yet. I need to lose another 10 - 15 pounds (from my stabilized weight) to get there. Actually, I think the exact number is 136 for the high end of the healthy range. So, I would like to get firmly in the range for natural weight fluctuations.

Like I said, it's a tough diet, so it's not easy to follow with two small children and full time job, but during the week I am happy for the work distractions. The kids send me looking for the carbs. You can find a lot of information on HCG on Yahoo Groups (HcgDieters) and there are a lot of you tube videos providing proof of weight loss.

Round 2 - Starting Weight 146.2
loaded to 149.8
Week 1 141.8 (below my stabilized weight)

I'm anxious not to fall into the same pattern as my first round. I'm thinking that I will keep these rounds to 3-4 weeks, and then go on to Phase III. Even if I do that for the next few months, I am so more likely to end the year at the best weight for me. Heck, I could stop now and feel good, but I want my BMI in the healthy range.
