Hello. Slight panic here. Started four days ago and have been good as gold with 800 calories and extremely low carb. Given up alcohol and caffeine. I drink loads (always). Everything I have read says the biggest losses are in the first week. So far, 4 days in, I have lost just one tiny lb! Help! Should I be worried? It is a little demoralising… Obviously good I have lost SOMETHING but hardly a storming start…
I am 46, not diabetic but probably on the way. Have 55lbs to loose. Am long time dieter lost and gained the same 4 stone 4 times. Now it’s getting really tough – age/a body that has been messed up with dieting. Went on nutritionist diet last year ‘guaranteed’ to get my weight off. Lost 1.5 stones and then went 4 agonising months continuing with regime with absolutely no change. Gave up in despair and rapidly regained lost weight. This time is going to the be the last time I loose this weight, if I can get it off, and I am hoping that the speedy results that the diet seems to get will motivate me. I have no shortage of will power when I am succeeding. The stories on here are very motivating, so that should help. Some others have already told me of their incredible successes – I am in awe. Would love to become one of them!
So….. you can see my disappointment with the slow 1lb start. Any suggestions?
