It doesnt seem to work for me :(

[gretchiemama]

Monday will make two weeks, it would have been Sunday but I didnt know what I was doing on the first day so I am not counting it.
I have gotten over the induction flu, and have NOT cheated, except for a handful of nuts once or twice, but other than in two weeks I have only lost 3 maybe 4 lbs and nothings feeling loser clothes wise.
I am trying to drink alot of water and recently cut out the diet coke because of the aspartame. I cant quite kick the zero carb energy drinks because of how drained I feel sometimes. (Anyone have another solution? I work in a high stress job and its not uncommon for me to work 12 hrs a day.) Its pretty hard to work out when your physically exhausted.
I still havent given up in hopes something gives. I am turning thirty in less than three weeks and I was hoping this would be the answer to not feeling fat when on my bday.
I dont have alot to lose really, 25 lbs would be more than enough.
Any tips would be great.
I am eating fish and lots of salad, and I take all my vitamins everyday.

I just dont get it...

Thank you in advance for any reply.

Re: It doesnt seem to work for me

Congrats for the 3-4 lbs! This means you do not have a high metabolic resistance and, since you also don't have a lot to lose, it would be best for you to move to OWL your 14-day Induction is done.

In the first two weeks of Induction, done by the book, most people lose 5-10% of the weight they need to lose. For you, 3-4 lbs out of 25 means 12-16%. Your results are excellent.

Re: It doesnt seem to work for me

I agree with Georgiana... you're doing really well. Don't worry and just stick to the plan. If you manage to add in extra movement/exercise, despite your gruelling schedule, I'm willing to bet you'll be at goal before you know it!

Re: It doesnt seem to work for me

Georgiana showed me Fitday, it lets you type in what you ate and spits out all the %s and calories and everything. I was needing to up my fat and lower my protein and didn't even know it. I think its a great site for planning what to eat and keep on track. The first time I did induction, I don't think I measured my salads and veggies. I just guessed. I usually stall out for a few weeks after I do induction. But since I've used Fitday to change my diet a little, the scales have moved a little already. They say the last 30 pounds or so is the toughest to loose and I'd have to agree. Don't give up though.
