Getting Ready to start Round 2 on July 7th.

We're getting ready to start Round 2 on July 7th.
The theory is that you will lose a pound a day. I lost 13 lbs in 23 days (.56 lbs/day). Arlene lost 16 lbs in 40 days of injections (or .4 lbs/day). This time she weighs 156 and wants to weigh 132, or to lose 24 lbs. If I want to lose 15 lbs this time, it could take me about 27 days. The recommended protocol is a minimum of 23 injections (consistent days) up to a maximum of 40 days of injections where you skip one day a week of HCG, less you become immune. I could probably reach my goal in this 2nd round. For Arlene, it could take two more rounds.

Some people lose more than a pound/day, others less. More about the variables later.

The HCG we used came in ampuls (very small glass containers). It was called Pregnyl 5000 I.U. (International Units) Its strength was 5000 IU. Dr. Simeone recommended a strength of 125 IU. We started out last time with a strength of 200 IU because our physical therapist and wife did. I stopped at 23 injections. My wife needed 40 injections. Our therapist is using 150 IU this time and we will also.
