Hi Diane. Welcome to you and your husband. Everyone's weight fluctuates daily, sometimes several times a day. Its better to take your measurements and then re-take them again in two weeks. You'll be amazed at how many inches you drop. I love fruit too, and the great thing is that you can add it back into your WOE in the OWL phrase. This is a fantastic place to get lots of info, support and encouragement. There's so many wonderful people who are willing to share their experiences and help you plan your success too. Get active here, make friends and enjoy the road to health and fitness.

Hi Diane, Welcome! I'm pretty much a newbie so I couldnt say if your goal was realistic or not, but it seems to me that people HAVE lost that amount in/around that time frame. I know its hard not to jump on the scale everyday...But i think it really does no good. Weight goes up and down, and ya really dont want to lose motivation when it fluctuates. Inches are better to track, and I think a weekly weigh in would be more accurate! Good luck and take care |

Welcome aboard Diane! Ditto what Becky said. If you measure, you'll find that'll be a better guage of true weight loss than the scales which can be positively evil at times. So many factors can cause scale fluctuations. Happy losing!

Hi Diane, Welcome to the board. I am new too. Day 6 for me. This diet is amazingly easy, but I understand how you feel. I love fruit too. Just can't have it right now. Good luck to you and your hubby and I look forward to seeing you conquer your goal!

Hi Diane! Welcome to the board. Don't stress about weight flucuations, everyone is different. I would suggest to try not to go crazy with the weighing as it will drive you crazy! I don't think your goal is unrealistic, but keep in mind a goal is just that, a goal. You may go over it, you may be under it, but eating this way you will lose weight and stay healthy!
