Default Re: I am determined this time, anyone like a newbie buddy ?

Hi Jo -- moving to OWL is a personal decision but I know I stayed 2 weeks longer (total of 1 month) and when I started up the rungs I didn't seem to loose anything - I read somewhere in the book (and can't find it now) that there is no need to stay on induction but if you have a lot of weight (I think he was talking 100 pounds or more) to stay....if not move on. About the same time I started onto the OWL portion I got a horrible case of the flu/virus whatever was going around, so from that point on I never really lost weight until I came back to reinduction.

You have lost real well so far -- add your exercise, that will really kick your weight loss in gear. Go to the challenge area and try some of them at the first of the month -- it doesn't cost a thing and keeps you accountable for getting your body moving. ALSO get your water in everyday -- AT LEAST 64 ounces - that will help with the weight loss also, you need something to help flush out all the nasties.

You're doing great!!! Keep up the good work
