Default Re: Slow weight loss on induction?

Goes to show you it is all relative. I have lost 5 in ten days on Induction and am thrilled that my loss is so quick this time.

Now for the advice and tips. Look, it took years to put the weight on, be patient with it coming off. Not everyone loses 20 pounds in Induction. Those are the cases that get remembered. Most of us have more moderate weight losses, especially women. The more times you have done this, the harder it is. The older you are, the slower it is. You have only 50 to lose so you will lose less than someone who has to drop 100. Maybe you aren't a jack rabbit loser. But you are losing. Steadily. Make sure you eat your veggies. I know this sounds silly but it works. Make sure you eat enough. I would add another egg at breakfast too. Your water intake is great and it is good you have started exercising. There is nothing wrong with your losses. They are a solid beginning especially since you only have 50 to lose. You cannot compare your weight loss to anyone else, if you do you are setting yourself up for depression and failure. Recognize that this is the body you have to work with for better or worse. I think you are doing terrific.

Concentration on doing things well and on how your body feels physically. Try not to make the scale the focus and you will be happier and more successful.
