@@Mjohnson4631 kudos for following the Protein, Water, etc rules "we all lose weight in different time periods" "one thing we have in common, is that we're all different" OP that start with a large #, tend to lose a lot of weight at the beginning especially men - those fiends!! that's great that you lost 6 lbs in the first week no loss 2nd week+, disappointing sob sob this does happen eating as few calories as you do the weight must come off, inches too "God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It" a stall does NOT mean one week a stall is at least 3+ weeks i'm betting you will win better yet - "lose"!! good luck bud you'll do great!! kathy
