All in all, I have been on the diet 70 days and lost 39 lbs which is a phenomenol success! Can't expect big losses every week. It is amazing how we set our selves up for failure! Really??? losing over 1/2 lb per day isn't good enough? How crazy is that thinking. Need to remind myself that just over 2 months ago I was wearing 20W-22W and now in a solid 16 misses! How long ago has that been? I will stick to plan, weigh in tomorrow and look for success next week. Perhaps I should not measure success by the scale but rather by sticking to plan!
Lilblackdress:First of all, congratulations! You are doing fabulously well. What other program would give you such a weight loss as 20 pounds per month, and at the end have a system that will help you keep it off? I bet you look terrific, too.
If it's any help, I started the program at approximately the same time, and I am stuck at a 20 pound loss. It feels like weeks! I am asking myself if my body/mind has a reason to hang on here - it sure seems stubborn. However, we see the evidence everywhere on this board that people have breakthroughs and get to their goals, even if it takes a little longer.
In the meantime, you are one of the people who keeps the average weight loss high, so be kind to yourself if your body takes a rest from all that calorie burning for a few days. Good luck!
