LIGHTERLIFE/cambridge SLOW LOSES ANYONE ????

[i'lldoit]

You will do great, just try not to worry. And if you have a slow week don't break abstinance or you might risk missing out on the big weight loss you were due for soon

Hi I know shadow Ive had a bad week I think its hormones TOTM??
Feeling great today I hope it lasts.
Thanks HUN

Doing a VLCD you will lose the maximum you safely can each week.

If you are sticking to the programme 100% then there is no way that you can lose more weight doing another higher calorie diet than if you were on a VLCD.

You may feel that your losses are slow but they are dictated by what you body can lose so you are doing this the fastest way possible so I hope keeping this in mind this helps

Looks to me like you are a pretty steady loser. Watch out for a monthly pattern in your losses connected with your menstrual cycle, and prepare yourself for the fact that some weeks might be a bit less and then others really good to make up for it. It's the over all loss that counts at the end of the day.

Well done on 3 lb this week!

We are all here to support one another so no need for thanks.

The best way to see fluctuations in your weight loss due to your monthly cycle (if you have one) is keep your record book up to date and be aware of any patterns.

People in my group who have been through the menopause are still finding they have a pattern where they are retaining fluid due to hormonal changes on a monthly basis which was quite a surprise to them.

If you can stick to abstinance on a moody day then you are doing great and should be proud of yourself.

Glad you feel better now! x

Your losses are brilliant, really consistent. The fact that you have felt so fed up but carried on is great inspiration to those of us who tend to give up easily. Keep up the fab work!!

I'm one of those people who doesn't compare myself to how others do, I know that I am giving 100%, and if only 2 pounds wants to fall off of me, then so be it. I've lost a hell of a lot more on CD in 4 weeks than I ever did doing other diets, and I have the most fab hair and skin lol (yep I'm vain about my hair lol)

wow!! Thank you for the calculation, TASHY100. Mine works out about 2.8lbs a week. However I worked out the calories required based on what I weigh now, as opposed to what I used to consistently weigh 3 weeks ago!

Here is the website where you can work out what calories are required for you personally depending on age and weight and lifestyle

p.s. is it just me, not only with the issue of slow loss, but I find the weeks go by slowly!

 

[mags1x]

I am in my 6th week on LL and have lost 3lbs per week since week 2, except last week when I lost 2 (note I didn't say only 2, 2 is still a great loss in my mind) my counsellor suggested its because I am slightly poorly sick (have snotty cold) and the body retains water then too.
