Maybe they have a faster metabolism or more weight to lose.Originally posted by littleone539 View Post
Comparing yourself with others won't speed up your weight loss.
Because you consider it slow.i have about 50 lbs to lose and i am getting a bit obsessed of why its so slow comming off for me
The number on the scale is not everything... just one way to measure success. There are other things you should focus on, such as inches lost, reduced appetite, lack of cravings, stable energy or better health."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: induction day 8
Remember you are only halfway through your first 14 days! Wait till after the 14th day and weigh again to see how much weight you lost to work out your metabolic resistance to weightloss.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: induction day 8
congrats on your great start did you measure to see how many inches you have shed of body fat to go with those 3 pounds?
as you get in better shape pick up the speed of your walk to keep your cals being burned off at the same rate as you get smaller and need lesss fuel to do the exact same things.by the book atkinseer
