Hello Vanesa!!!!!!!! Welcome to ! You have come to the right place. Are you relying on jsut the scale? If so scales don't tell the truth about your weight loss. You will lose inches faster than pounds. Do you measure inches lost? If not you should. You will get more positive results that way. Are you drinking all of your water. You should be drinking at least 64 fl. oz./day. Are you still doing induction or have you moved up to owls? I know a lot of questions here, but it does help to know where you are at. It is good to have you here. You will make many new friends and get all the incouragement and support you want.

Welcome Vanesa. Wow, you lost a lot of weight your first month. I know you are real proud of yourself so far. Don't get discouraged as you don't lose as fast as you did right at first but don't worry you will continue to lose. You will meet a lot of friendly and helpful people on this bulletin board who will help you along your weight loss journey. If I can be of any help just let me know.
