Default Re: Another newbie, and stalled for 3 weeks. HELP!

Hi HappyCat,

It's so ironic that you posted this because I'm in the exact same situation. I'm going on my 5th week of Induction and have only lost 6 lbs.-- yeah, everyone will say a 7 pound loss is GREAT- it's better than nothing!, but come on... it's really discouraging to see everyone else posting about their 7 lbs. lost in 7 days. My husband and I are doing this together and we're not cheating at all, we're doing it by the book! My KetoStix say that I'm in constant ketosis, but I've not lost any weight worth mentioning (I'll lose 2 lbs, gain one, lose .5, gain 2) in 3 weeks!

All I can say is to keep up your exercise, take all the tips and advice these kind people are willing to share and KEEP AT IT. Though I'm discouraged, I'm going to stick to this for a little while longer to see if things perk up.

Good luck and I hope that you see a nice loss soon. It doesn't seem fair that we're trying so hard and sticking to it and not seeing the results we deserve. I feel for ya!!
