    Hiding the scale is a good thing. I think I will only weigh myself once a week.

      Re: 11 pounds in two weeks!

      One thing I did to myself in the past was expect to keep losing 9-10 lbs a week

      I'm sure it's possible but I dont want you to get discouraged and quit if the rate changes. In the past I did, then comes the constant scale checking, then comes the post "I think I'm stalled what do I do"

      Remember it's a life change, I've failed enough times that I am realizing this, it has to be for the long haul. There will be weeks you don't lose, then some weeks WHOOOSH 7 lbs are gone.

      Keep measurements, take pictures, and think long term strategy.

      Keep it up your doing awesome !

        I am on my 12th week of induction.Last several weeks I have lost 2 lbs weekly.But it is fat, not water or lean muscle.Also every week my clothes feel looser.Daily I have people come up to me and say wow, you've lost a lot of weight.That has only started in last two weeks,Amazing what that last 4 lbs has done for my appearance.Over 40 lbs lost so far.Enjoy 1-2 lbs per week.Up to you about staying in induction or moving up.Some can continue to lose moving up in carbs while others (me) fail miserably.Congrats on the 11 lbs.

          Ashley, you can get liquid Sucralose (EZ-Sweet) online at netrition.com.

          And you can make your own Jello from gelatin and the old fashioned sugar free koolade.

          There is probably a recipe in the recipe section.
