About to start Phase 2

[K9201]

I am going on my fourth week tomorrow, when will the weight lose start. I've only lost about 10 pounds in that three weeks. Although that is good I feel it should be better due to the fact that I started at 343 pounds. Just wondering what you guys thoughts are or if someone else is going through or has went through not losing ALOT of weight. I will stick with it but thought I should be losing more. Thanks for any advise.

Hiya,

For what its worth, I do not think I lost too much weight in phase 1 either, its phase 2 where I am finding the pounds dropping off.

As your a big guy like me I would recommend starting a Fitday account(just google it) its free, and you can enter your height weight and keep a record of what your eating and keep a good track on your progress. I think as long as you stick to it faithfully the pounds will fall off you. I would also make a note of your measurements as well (on fitday) as when you see yourself losing inches it will inspire you to keep going. I read on Marks Daily Apple that keeping carbs to a max of 50 grams a day will promote weight loss, thats what I am doing but its entirely up to you.

Hopefully your feeling better already with more energy etc, so maybe go for a walk each day or up your excrcise level to help things along.

Stick with it and I am sure you will see quick results,
Good luck and keep posting, let us know how your getting on.
