    Anyone stall at rung 1?

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced stalls in weight loss just by adding in more veggies? Have you ever found a veggie that does stall your weight loss? I am seriously considering moving into OWL only to add some more veggies in my menu. This is new for me since I was not a veggie person before, but I actually seem to crave them at times now! I am thinking of just moving into OWL but stayin for a long time at the veggie rung since I have 120 pounds still to lose.

    What do you all think? Do I need to stay in ext. induction because of the amount I need to lose or can I stay at rung 1 while I lose the majority of my weight? Will being at rung 1 slow my weight loss down or is that kind of based more on each individual?

    Thanks for the advice.

    I will stay on my diet. I will get healthy and lose weight. There is nothing I could eat or drink that tastes as good as how I feel at this moment on this WOE ~ nothing!

    I'm a firm believer that 5 more grams in veggies (a total of 20 measley little calories) will *not* stall you, assuming that you keep everything else in check.

    Eat up! I have yet to meet anyone that got fat eating another serving of veggies.

    If you do find you slow down - and you might at first while your body adjusts - be patient and give yourself a little bit of time. Keep track of everything and you'll do just fine!

      I agree with Brook. 5 net grams of more Induction veggies will not stall you UNLESS you are one of those few people who have a high degree of metabolic resistance to weight loss.

      Frankly, the only folks who benefit from extending their Inductions past the 14 days are the folks who have a high degree of metabolic resistance to weight loss. But even they can move into OWL by going up the OWL rungs, but keeping within their CCLL.

          I had a similar mindset that you did...that I had a lot of weight to lose, so I better stay on extended induction for a long time. I finally decided to make the move and I ended up losing faster on OWL than I did on extended induction. Before OWL, I was losing maybe 1-2 pounds a month. I have been on OWL for a month now and have lost 9 pounds in that month.
          Originally Started May 29, 2003 and lost 96 pounds. Fell off the wagon and gained over 100 pounds back. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

            Oh, Nikki, what wonderful stats. Congrats on your journey so far. Did you stay at rung one for a long time or what? How did you pace it with a lot to lose?
