I am into my 3rd week of being off the HCG. I had lost an additional 4.4 lbs. but last night I went off the diet for the first time to celebrate my birthday and I had some sugar and some carbohydrates. I am up one pound today but I expect that to level off again tomorrow. I am not really supposed to be loosing weight during this phase but I just hate to stop when it seems to be coming off so much easier than it used to. Next Tuesday is when I will begin the 2nd three week phase where I start to add sugar and carbohydrates on a regular basis. I think I will find it a little more difficult then to maintain my weight but we will see. Other than catching whatever it was that everyone at the office had, I have been feeling pretty well.
