Had a craving for popcorn and overview of my plan of weight loss

Wow, cravings are unfamiliar to me on HCG, but after walking into Target, I had a humdinger of a hankerin' for popcorn, one of my favorite snacks. Do you think it is because the entire front of the store smells like popcorn? I had considered going to a movie today but was worried about popcorn craving there, but WHAM! Target got me-LOL.

Even off of HCG, I'd never eat their popcorn because I make my own in a stove top popper made with coconut butter wax oil and virgin palm oil with organic white popcorn sprinkled with Redmond salt. My husband makes a better bowl of popcorn in my opinion. Well, that fluffy white goodness is quite a ways off for me as I am doing the short round HCG plan until my last round. 20 days of injections followed by 72 hours VLCD with a 7 day strict P3 before loading and moving onto the next Phase is the controversial non-Simeon short round version.

Overview:
Round 1: short round hcg subcutaneous injections
Round 2: short round sublingual- takes twice as much hcg
Round 3: Classic Simeon's round 125IU intramuscular until goal is reached.

My best guesstimate is I will be to goal weight sometime in June.

On my "old" program to which I am a "lifetime member", it would have been 12 months! AND, I never would have dreamed to shoot for 125 as goal weight on that program; I would have settled on 145!

Oh, what I bought in Target: a clashing pink print yoga carrying strap for my mustard yellow yoga mat. Looking forward to going back to Yoga next weekas I've been out with a shoulder injury. I'll have about 15 pounds less of me to hold in poses. I wonder if any yoga classmates will notice my transformation?

Joy ~ I'm curious, what is this short round you've posted? Do you have somewhere I can read more about it?

Toni,
This short round was introduced on another yahoogroup: HCGDiet by a dieter who is being coached by her nutritionist. I liked the idea of doing a 20 day round of shots, followed by 72 hours VLCD, finishing with a 7 day P3 before going to the next round.
The attraction for me was getting the most weight loss- experiencing less plateau possibility, and shorter wait rounds to lose my total sooner. I will do classic Simeon for my last round with more than 23 days injections followed by 3 week P3 and 3+ weeks P4.
