Iv changed my lifestyle, lots of exercise (walking) and iv changed my eating. Iv had no treats what so ever. Very rare if I snack. Iv lost 5lbs in 2 weeks... What's going on?
 
Keep at it J-o, it will take time to start to show the results, you might still be carrying water weight, also hormonal times of the month can have an effect on it. It isnt a magic pill that will make it all drop off straight away, it takes time and effort i'm afraid, but it will be worth it.
As they say slow and steady wins the race :) x
 
Thanks! Monthly was last week! Iv been good! I actually did have one treat! I lied! 3 choc sweets lol! Suppose iv to work harder don't I! I'm thinking the calorie count on Mfp is wrong!
 
Hey j-o thats brillant , I know its not more then u wanted but its a bloody good start. sometimes it takes another week or so to see the actual loss. its like our bodies our 1 week behind or even 2. are you eating enough too? 1200 calories at least? honestly keep at it and u will see your results xx

I think 5lbs in 2 weeks is great!! I know how hard I have had to work to loose 2.6lbs this week, being good food wise and all the exercise, it is hard work!!

I ate 1350 kcals most days and 2 kettlebell classes, and 2 Zumba classes (4 hours active exercise) plus normal house stuff..

What kcals are you eating at moment?
 
Between 1200 and 1500 but never over, do exercise so iv extra if you get me. My fitness pal says 1500 per day! I'm eating a low fat diet! Never went over the allowed fat! I track everything, tea bags etc
 
Doc said to me when started that min loss each week was 500g as that way you will loose the targeted amounts when they come due at 5% at 3 mths and 10% at 6 mths. Any extra over that amount is a fab bonus!
 
keep going. just think if you continue losing 5lb every 2 weeks it will be 10lb a month which i think would be great. you are doing well.
 
You don't need to work harder, j-o, just keep doing what you're doing. 2.5 pounds a week is great, you're in it for the long haul and if you keep up that rate you'll get there in no time. Don't change it, just keep going!

ha......
that's a good weight loss you need to understand this, because it'll not always be as good as that no matter how hard you try!..
I followed this diet through to the letter, and took 30weeks to get to ware I wanted to be!!.. please have a look at my weightloss chart you will notice I weighed weekly and on several occasions had to endure weeks of no movement before things started to shift again!... getting through these times that were the hardest!..
I've said this many times now.. try not to obsess and slip in to some kinda level zone and the time will whiz by!..
4 1/2 stone I lost but took 30 weeks ... that's a long time and if you count the days prone to fail!...
these pills would be as valuable as gold if they were a magic answer for losing weight, but follow the guide lines and stick with ya friends on here "this summer will be a great slimmer one"
(promise).... :D
