I am toward the end of week 3 and I have no desire to eat anything. The thought of food makes me sick to my stomach. I make myself eat I just wanted to know if anyone else feels this way. I also am loosing alot of inches however my upper arms do not seem to want to drop the inches any suggestions?

I had my weigh in this AM and am down 2.2 pounds! This is the first time I have had a loss over 1 1/2 pounds and I was excited!!

I have also been through this. Just hang in there, your appetite will improve. Trying to eat a variety of veggies etc helped me to not get so sick of everything. Also my upper arms are very slow in dropping inches as well. Not sure of the reason for that. I guess we just have to give it time as well.

My coach said upper arms were usually the last to thin out. I guess this gives us time to build a little muscle so we are not so droopy! I made a delicious soup last night from my veggies and chicken broth, then blended it so it was creamy...yummy!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Ok out of the WF products I think their pancake syrup is quite good. So is their creamy bacon salad dressing. I can't do their ketchup so I switched to the Heinz 1 carb per serving ketchup.

slp- yes to the chicken

BIG WELCOME to you and Kelly- I'm on day 5 and it isn't that bad!
so a forum search for Cauliflower Popcorn and Kale Chips, those have been my favorite discoveries so far

Grrrrr oh well here's hoping for the woosh next week, guess my body is saying "not so fast missy" have a good week everyone!!

Don't feel too bad as I have the same issue this week. As always 100 percent and I'm up this week at 0 .6. It happens, just have to hang in there.

I eat it just making sure all skin is gone.

I like their honey mustard dressing. Going to buy the peanut butter today. Not expecting much, but still some on a celery stick sounds good.

Thanks Salmongirl and Goldenrod. I am looking forward to the arms to be smaller. Everyone have a great day.

I love reading all the posts - very motivating!!

I've got my second weigh in this Wednesday. Finding this surprisingly easy and I am feeling soooooo much better after cutting the carbs and sugar - WOW! I didn't realise how sluggish I was feeling. Also developing a taste for lots of new veggies which I never tried before. The IP foods are okay - I now pretty much know my favs and am sticking to them. Mrs. Dash is a big help too!

Looking forward to getting to know you all better. Oh, and I am 9lbs down already!!

Thanks for the answer on the chicken. Good to hear that it hasn't been that bad too! I've been hearing the first week is the hardest. I haven't felt any different yet but the day is young lol. I am a big carb addict so I expect to go through some kind of withdrawal soon. The cauliflower popcorn & kale chips sound interesting I will definately google that. Thanks!
