VLCD 22 without HCG

Well the countdown to maintenance begins, today and tomorrow on 500 calories, and we are there! I am a little nervous and excited about the maintenance part all at the same time. I heard that the first week there is lots of fluctuation in weight, but by the second week it all sorta calms down. I lost a half pound from yesterday bringing me to 144, and let me tell you I am hearing the words, "wow, you lost a lot of weight!" very often lately, and it is music to my ears! I am really feeling great in my skin, such a confidence that feels amazing, what a difference 17.5 lbs. makes! I wonder if I will be feeling hunger without the HCG for these next 2 days? I will post again tomorrow! Good luck to all on this journey, and if you are considering this form of weight loss, it has been the easiest diet with the fastest results!
