Need help finding CCL...

[Pie4me]

Hey friends...

I am waiting for my Atlkins book from ebay-cause I let another
friend borrow mine...SO I need help figuring out my CCL.

I am over my induction period of the 14 days and stayed
strickly on the diet with lots of exercise and water!

I have lost 9 pounds....

How do I figure out my CCL and what does it tell me?

SW--163
cw--154
female
5'9
47 yoa
medium build
exercise 4 days a week


Thanks for your help...

Hi.

You'll find your answers in the OWL Forum. Read the stickies at the top of the forum.

Thank you for the advice...I have never been at the OWL forum
but will go now and readup on it all---sometimes I am so interested in the messges that I forget to read the stickies!

During induction, you're not supposed to be finding your CCL. You're supposed to stay strictly under 20 carbs.....

I don't know if I have an "average metabolic resistance" to weight loss
or what. Must have missed that in the OWL stickie forum. I am done
with the 14 day induction phase now. Since I don't have much more to
loose I will go to OWL now....

Pie4me,
You are on the right track. learn about OWL and about figuring your CCL.
You will be at goal before you know it.

Great job working your new WOL.

Like the mods said, you need to come over to OWL! I just started OWL as well. If you've lost 9 lbs (congrats, by the way!) I think that does mean you have an average or slightly below average metabolic resistance (you lose weight fairly easily). Hope to see you over at OWL!

HI~ I saw on another thread that your goal is 145 - meaning that your total weight loss goal to begin with was 18 pounds...during your 14 day induction, you lost 9...using those numbers and the chart for women on pg 158 DANDR, you have LOW metabolic resistance...in fact, you lost 1/2 again what would have been necessary to put you in the "low" category (6 lbs) according to this chart...so I would have to agree with those that suggest moving on to OWL would be the right thing for your situation! Best wishes for continued success!!
