Re: Its time to lose weight!!! | | Welcome to the Board, Erica.
You don't have a lot to lose, so the weight will come off quite slow. From what we have seen on this board, during Induction most members lose 5-10% of the weight they need to lose. You should also not compare your current weight loss rate with the weight loss rate you had seen years ago, because there are a lot of changes happening to our bodies as we age.
How far into Induction are you?

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
