ketostix turning but no weight loss?

[LuvnLife429]

Hi everyone!

I'm on my fourth day of induction. When I weighed myself this morning, still no weight loss. My ketostix are turning, but my scale isn't going down?

Should I be concerned? I have been drinking diet soda and coffee but other than that- I've kept the carbs where they should be and done an hour of cardio a day?

Needless to say, I'm a little worried!

Good Morning LuvnLife429,

Welcome to the board and congratulations on 4 days! Well done. You know, we talk alot around her about 'scales' and not 'losing' fast. Here is a couple of threads that might shed some light on this subject....

Don't worry or fret over your scale not moving. If you are sticking to plan, (you kind of sort of are....remember....Diet Soda and Coffee are definately No-No's during induction) the scale will move.

Some people do not lose anything during induction while other people lose an enormous amount of weight. It depends on your body, your metabolism, your age, your total amount of pounds you want to lose, it can rest on anything.

Patience is a virtue well served. I know that is easy to say when you've been losing and and someone else isn't, I understand your frustration, however, it's only been 4 days. It took the good lord 7 days to create the universe!!!

Give it a chance. Also, I might suggest posting your menu in the Review My Menu forum, maybe something your eating is not agreeing with you. Give it a try, chin up, the sun will come out tomorrow!!!



Best of wishes! Life is good!

Ditch the diet sodas!

You could be losing inches and keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat!
