Today marks the end of week 3 and I have been going up & down 1 lb since last Wednesday. I lost 9 lbs the first week and 3 the second and then nothing. I know this happens but has anyone else experienced this so soon in the diet? Thanks
 
Hi there Longing2bthin,

I am having the same experience. I've only been on my plan for 2 weeks but I did an approximation of it for 2 before that. I"ve lost 10#'s and have been stalled out for the last week or slightly more. I still am losing in size but that's slower than it was initially. I'm hoping for a big drop against next week!

It's hard isn't it when you don't see those numbers move. I can see why they highly recommend you only weigh once a month but I'm a little too obsessive to do that.

Hang in there, it will happen!

Merci
 
Hi Merci,

I finally dropped 2 lbs this morning so I can say I lost 2 lbs this week. I am happy with that but I am hoping to reach my goal by the end of the 12 weeks and at this rate I probably won't. I'm hoping I'll have some 3-5 lb losses in a week like others have. Just have to wait & see. I really do need to stop weighing every day.
Did you ever get an answer about the fruit?

Hi Becky,

Yay for you--another 2 down, that's wonderful! I know what you mean about the time frame--I was hoping 3-4 months I'm aiming for a loss of around 50 or 55. But I'm beginnng to think it's not going to happen on my schedule. The person who told me about this lost 35# in the 12 weeks. I'm guessing that the people who have the bigger losses tend to lose bigger amounts early on. But even at that, I think everyone's body must handle it differently.

I did get an answer on the fruit, thanks for asking. It went something like this:
"Crackers and fruit are always optional, you don't have to eat them. Try taking a second multi-vitamin at lunch. And if you're still hungry and can't go without the fruit you may have an extra 4 crackers/day" I get so frustrated with the answers I'm getting. I can see they don't want to give away any information about how this all works so they just resort to parroting the manual. I'm really curious why having a certain amount of extra veggies for snacks wouldn't work but I know I'd never get an answer to that question. Oh well. I'm avoidng the fruit and using the extra crackers.

My hair has been thinning and falling out from the lack of fat!!! Not very healthy and quite alarming. I've added some fish oil capsules to try to reverse that and stop anymore from jumping off my head. Have you found that at all? I asked before I joined about the lack of fat because I know it's not healthy and their answer was "it's only for a short time". But I know for many peope it's not a short time and if my hair is falling out after 4 weeks, I can't imagine what it would be at 4 months.

Don't mean to be all negative but even though this program offers alot of benefits in terms of being "rapid", tightening skin, and resetting metabolism, there are some things I wonder about.

Merci
