VLCD #3: -2.0

Another great weigh-in this morning. I lost 2 lbs, for a total of 6 lbs lost on this round. Today, the scale showed me at 229.8 - just 3 lbs above my LIW from last time. I'm hopeful that the weekend will push me into VFT (Virgin Fat Territory), and that next week will bring exciting new changes!

I did shampoo my hair today, so am hoping that taking care with the process will avoid any stalls. The good thing about having dry hair is being able to get by with washing it only twice a week.

On the menu today for Lunch:
Chicken
Celery
Apple

Dinner:
Halibut
Cabbage

Hi Angela

I've been using soap, but I try to minimize the amount of time that it spends on my body. For example, normally I'd lather completely up and then rinse off. While doing the HCG injections, I'll lather up one area at a time and then rinse it off. For example, wash my arm and underarm and then immediately rinse off and proceed to the next area.

As for shampooing, I only have to wash my hair every 3 or 4 days, since it's so dry. When I do wash it, I always wear latex gloves, and then either bend over the sink or bend over in the shower to minimize the contact that the shampoo and conditioner have with my skin. Also, I try to do it quickly, and not massage a whole lot of stuff into my scalp so that it can be absorbed. So far, so good! Other folks may have other suggestions, but I've been able to continue using my regular shampoo and conditioner this way, and so far have had no bad effects.

Good luck to you with your HCG weight loss!
