Weighed in this morning, after seven days. Only three pounds lost and am gutted. I was sooooooo sure I had lost more, after following instructions carefully. Am going back to bed now to think about it and lick my wounds.😥😥😥🤔😡😡🍫🍫🍞🍞🍕🍕🍚🍹🍪

did you take some measurements to compare? maybe worth starting to do that. However don’t be discouraged! 3 lb’s is actually still quite a lot of weight and it’s gone in the right direction 🙂

it’s taken me over 5 weeks to lose a stone, slower than most but I feel well and in control and for the first time in my life I feel like I can do this! and so can you.

Hi Misey
Hang on in there it takes time and our bodies are complex , if you are eating healthy and low calories and no bad carbs it will happen. Reading all the threads everyone is unique in their bsd journey(hate that word) .i have plateaued too it’s frustrating but just one hour one meal one day at a time. Measurements may change before the scales, clothes may change before the scales. Positive thoughts from me .

Thank you all-Janet.x.

webbj54, I am willing to bet that if you read more forum posts and use the Search Box at the top that you will find that you are not alone and that maybe evn that not all of the key elements are as fully understood as you thought they were. We all had miserable days and some even weeks. Your body will store fat as a first option if you have a tendency to be overweight. Reducing sugar intake is vital, drinking plenty is too and once sugars and carbs are reduced to 30 mg/day you will be almost certain to shrink quickly unless you have a particular genetic make-up that seems very rare so far on here. We are all supportive here and while we are not personal trainers we are buddies to consult, share and moan to but we have to reduce food intake while we learn how best to incorporate Dr Mosley’s advice into our daily routine. Hope you have a better week remember even pacing up and down moaning uses calories, fortunately for me and many others…

Thank you – I think “pacing up and down, moaning and groaning” sounds like just the sport for me!⛷🏂🚴🏄🏊⛹💪💪😂😂😂👍

3lbs off is still 3lbs off, be proud 😊

i only lost 3 and half pound in first week and only 1 and half in second
doesn’t look like its going to much this week either
but a loss is a loss, and we have to try to hang on to that in our heads

if we had been told you will be lucky to lose a pound a week – which is what most diets say – then we would be feeling happier I think!!

I couldn’t do it without you lot. So far so good today- am fasting as lon as I can, then back to it.😇😇😇😇

Good to hear webbj54 – perseverance pays off. It will be interesting to see how you go in the following week. It’s weird but you can do the same things and some weeks are better than others on the scales. Hope you have a better day.

Good afternoon webbj54, one step at a time. Before you know it you will be “running” with this programme.

Hello webbj54! Three pounds in a week is brilliant! If you were on a regular diet, you might lose one pound per week — you are 3X that! The first couple of weeks can be so frustrating because it is often slow, sometimes up and down, we are adjusting to a whole new way of eating and our bodies are asking us to go back to where they had become “comfortable”. It sort of seems like our brains are moving into a new space but our bodies have to play “catch up”. Just don’t give up. It WILL work for you, as it has for so many. I always say, just suspend your critical thought patterns for a couple weeks — we have a tendency to evaluate immediately — at the end of one week we don’t have enough “data points” to know if it is working or not!😜

Thanks all! Have had another good day, and a long walk, so fingers crossed for my next weigh in. Janet.xx
