Day 3 221.9 lbs
When I weighed this morning I had gained around 2.5lbs from the 2 load days. I was hungry 1st thing this morning so I ate my apple for breakfast. After that I felt surprisingly full all day. I drank plenty of water and had to remind myself to eat. I guess the combination of loading and the HCG helped curb the hunger. I had anticipated getting up early this morning to prepare my chicken breast for lunch but I had so much to do and was running late that I decided to buy lunch at the cafe at work. I bought a chicken breast and some steamed broccoli for lunch. I split the small chicken breast in 1/2. I checked online and found out broccoli is not one of the veggies on the list and then I started thinking about now knowing if they used oil to cook the chicken and also eye-balling the portion instead of weighing it raw. I hope it doesn't hinder any loss. I am now committed to be more prepared. I like the fact that Dr Simeons protocol tells you exactly what you can eat. It makes it easier for me. In the past, I've tried diets where you had more of a choice and it was always hard for me to decide what to eat and read labels. I know when I get used to eating the very low calorie (vlc) diet; it will be a breeze to prepare. I made sure I packed lunch for the next 2 days when I made dinner tonight. PREPARATION..... That's the key thing for me not to cheat or make any mistakes. For the first time in years, I am looking forward to stepping on the scales.
I've been watching The Biggest Loser on TV tonight. It's awesome to see what they look like now. It gives me motivation to see how much they have changed their bodies. I can't wait to see what we can achieve in this challenge!

Injection
I'm still getting used to the daily injection but thankfully it's getting easier everyday. I have noticed after I inject the HCG, when I pull the needle out; some of the HCG starts to leak out of the injection site. I immediately put pressure with the alcohol pad to stop the leaking. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Thanks for reading. Goodbye for now.

Hi Pamela, great posts, good luck to you on your round! A tip I read on one of the yahoo boards for help with 'leaky' injection sites is to count to 10 after you've finished injecting all the liquid and _then_ pull the needle out. It works every time! Take care, Helen
Thanks for the tip Helen. It worked like a charm. Best of luck to you too, Pam
