I am not exercising, but I was told that I wasn't supposed to be! Any other reasons you can come up with for my lack of weight loss? I have lost SOME weight - just nothing compared to what people posting on this website have experienced. Thanks!
I'm going to agree with Erin on this one. A lot of the large losers don't include these cheats in their diets at all. I'm a slow loser on this diet as you can tell by my ticker, and I do all non restricted packets, 1 restricted veg a week (if that, some weeks none), and no soda or dressings. I do all of this and still lose a bit slow. I'm sure if I had put in diet soda and dressing it would definitely hinder my weight loss. My coach even has me not do Walden Farms dressings and such in case it messes with my WL.
This week I also did 2 long hikes which really helped my weight loss.
