    Hi guys.. my first post! Have a question..

    Hi everyone,

    I find this site great and have read a lot of useful and inspiring information.

    Anyhoo, I am on day 12 of my diet and have lost 11 pounds. I feel fantastic! I fit into size smaller clothes that I never thought I could wear again. I want to lose 20 more pounds.

    My question is, for the last 3 days I have been the same weight, teetering around +/- a pound or so. What is going on? Why am I not losing more weight like I was noticeably doing before?

    Any insight into this would be appreciated

    Cheers!

      The first weight loss is generally water weight. Now your body is settling down and in a few days you will start to lose about a pound or two a week.

        It is the body adjusting. You may even go up from time to time. Do not obsess with the scale and ride the wave. Good results so far! Good luck!

          It's completely normal not to lose weight every day. So don't worry about it. There's a sticky thread in this forum called "Weight Loss isn't Linear" it has good info about this.

          Congrats on your 11 pound loss. You've lost over 1/3 of the weight you need to lose. You'll like the On-Going Weight Loss Phase more than Induction.
