  • 145 lbs seems like an eternity but..

    I have lost 10 pounds in 13 days!! At this rate I will reach goal by next spring.. Im really surprised, this is my second time around and Im starting at about the same weight and Im losing a little more rapidly. I still have 135 pounds to go. Im excited about being back with everyone on here. I love the support this group offers.

    Ive gone to weight watchers 10+ times and it takes me a whole month to lose 5 lbs. This WOE is the only way for me to lose.

    Thanks ADBB, You're the best

    I'm the same way. Me and WW don't mix. Atkins is what works for me.

    Good job on the great start! I am hoping to be at my goal by next spring/summer too.

        Congrats on your weightloss thus far. 10 lbs in 13 days sounds fantastic! Did you take measurements to see how many inches you lost? I hope I get to the 10 lb mark soon. If you don't mind me asking, did you weigh yourself daily or every few days? And if so, did you lose a few lbs every few days, or how did the weightloss progression work for you? I'm starting day 4 of induction today, and I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 3.2 lbs. I know I should wait to the 14 days to weigh myself, but I'm addicted to scale hopping. I have taken my measurements and will wait until day 14 to take them again.

        Again, congrats!!!

          Mom0506,

          I weigh myself every morning after potty and naked..lol Couple of those days I stayed the same. most I lost overnight was 2.5 lbs. Im hoping for a visit from the wooshie fairy soon.

          Its day 17 and I lost 11 lbs thus far, i started my cycle yesterday which im probably retaining water, probably is the reason for the stall the past 3 days.

          I did not do my measurements. I recently moved and cant find my tape!! But its a great idea to take your measurements. Sometimes you dont lose the Lbs but you lose the inches. Good luck!!

            Lildrummergirl, Congrats on your weightloss!

            Not to knock WW, but I've tried it 3 times and failed miserably. After losing and gaining the same 7 lbs this last time, I decided to come back to what I know that works and approach it with a determined heart~~ . My body works better with fewer carbs. So far I've lost 15 lbs in 28 days. I am happy about that.
