I'm doing the program with my boyfriend, we eat basically the same thing (except he cheats occasionally and I don't!). He has lost 13 pounds already, including 2 more today! I've done diets on my own where I've counted calories and have showed a loss every week. Has anyone else had this happen so early on the program?? It is definitely frustrating and I am really starting to wonder why I am wasting money on these drinks and their counseling when I'm not losing the 2-5 pounds guaranteed by the program.
Any thoughts or help?? I'm so frustrated
This is exactly what happened to me the first couple weeks.
Preconditioning down 5 lbs, 2nd week up 1lb, 3rd week down 3.5. They also explained my gain as possible water weight. Believe me I was wondering the same thing too...why the heck am I wasting my money. Also in another thread you see the comments about weighing in twice and my reason for disliking it falls in week 3. I weighed in at the middle of the week (not my usual day) lost 4 lbs, then weighed in on my normal day and gained .5 lb. That gain of a .5 lb. bummed me out even though I actually lost 3.5 that week. Hang in there and it will start coming off.
I also am in the same boat as my husband is following this program with me too. He eats the same foods as me at dinner only though and he doesn't take their supplements, etc. He even adds cheese or eats more starch, so on and so on. He's lost more but the reality of it is he will. Men lose weight faster than women. Don't let the discourage you. You can do this, especially with the great support from the ladies here. Just keep your eye on the prize...YOUR goal!!
