    Re: down and out...

    Congrats on your 5 pound loss. If you don't think 5 pounds is "alot", go to the supermarket and pick up a 5 pound bag of flour and carry it while you walk up and down the aisles. Then you'll appreciate how much those 5 pounds are.

    We can expect to lose 5-10% of the weight we need to lose during the 14 day Induction. So if you have a 10 pound weight loss goal, you can expect to lose 1/2 to 1 pound. If you have a 100 pound weight loss goal, you can expect to lose 5 to 10 pounds.

      Not everyone loses 10 lbs during induction. I lost 7 during induction, and i never cheated.

        You want to lose 38 pounds and you lost 5 during induction...higher than 10%. That is awesome. Keep in mind that those of us who are losing bigger amounts during induction usually have a greater amount to lose.

        Drink your water...eat your 3 cups of veggies....take your measurements...make sure that you are not going over your limits and that your foods do not have hidden sugars....move...and you will continue to do great!!!

              Tweety I think you are doing great since you have so little to lose. Don't forget-- a lot of those posting big induction numbers have 100 or more to lose. Keep the faith and leave those cookies alone! LOL

               It's not about the results. Its about the process.
