Keep in mind that exercise can be a great ally in getting things moving. If you would like more guidance there, please do repost here, and I will get back to you. |
 drgraden 5 years ago | I ended up losing 1.8 lbs during week one. Perhaps the slower weight loss is due to age – I’m 63. I had a headache between days 2-7. Today is day 8 and no headache so far. Lots of trips to the bathroom though, especially at night. I thought that might lead to more weight loss – lol. Anyway, heading into week 2… |
| Ossie-Sharon 5 years ago | Hi, drgraden. The amount of weight change isn’t significant enough to worry – it could even just be normal fluid shifts in the body. Note also that if you have been on restrictive diets in the past, your body may need a bit of time to get used to normal amounts of food again. If you stall for more than a couple of weeks, try reducing the weight in your profile at least 4 lbs from the current weight and regenerating your menus – you will get a bit less food. |
 Sandals41 5 years ago | Ohhh my! You have to be so discouraged but, I’d hang in and keep following the plan. I joined on Sunday mostly for support in my weight loss effort. (always eat too much and don’t exercise!!) I’m not following the plan because I’m eating a “clean” diet along with keeping track of calories and carbs plus exercising 30 mins each day. Good luck and don’t give up! 🙂 |
| drgraden 5 years ago | Granted, it has only been 1 day, but I didn’t expect to gain .6 lbs after day one of the 8 week program. Is this normal? |
