ARG! That third week no loss really sucks!

[princessmomma]

I just completed my third week LC and although I lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks, nothing came off this past week. I didn't add any carbs and stayed under my 20 per day. From what I have read it is normal to stabilize for a time after the first big drop during induction.

Oh well! I will just keep plugging! I am so proud of myself. No sugar for 21 days and doing great!

I did that too when I was on it. It definately sucks! I am one of those that if I don't see a weight change like every other day, I get discouraged and fall off.

Are you getting enough protein?? I found that I wasn't eating enough protein and when I upped my meat intake and quit eating so much salad greens, it started coming off again.

Anyway, good for you! Eight pounds is a GREAT start, and remember, on another plan, you would only be down eight pounds anyway!

Thanks for the wake up call. Perhaps I do need to up my protein. I still love my veggies, maybe I should cut back on those and chow down on more meat. I have a baked chicken in the oven right now, so this is a good start. Thanks again.

Don't give up. I got really frustrated after my first week. I lost a lot the first week. Then for the second and third week nothing came off. I was actually thinking of giving up because here I was doing exactly what I was supposed to, and the darn scale wouldn't move.

So.. one morning I woke up, and I had lost 3 pounds!! 2 days later I lost another 3 pounds!! I guess they call it a whoosh.

Don't give up. I'm a slow loser, but I was always told slow and steady wins the race.

Isn't a great feeling not having that sugar? I couldn't believe how much better I felt.

Keep on going!!

I lost 10 lbs first two weeks total, 3rd week 1 lb. I was disappointed. Now only a few days into 4th week lost 1 lb already. 12 lbs gone in less than one month. Hoping to lose 3 more pounds by 1 month weigh in for a new clippie. Hoping for the whoosh.
