Hey everyone,

I am new to this forum. I join the "band" on July 10, 2006. I was really excited about it. Within the first 2 weeks I had lost 16pds. Mainly because I was on liquids. Now, nearly 2 months later, I've lost NOTHING!! I have had one fill and its not that I'm hungry, I'm just not losing. I started working out 2 weeks ago, 5 days a week for an hour. I'm feeling very discouraged. I thought that I would at least be losing a pound a week. Does anyone have any advice for me? I have talked to other people and they have lost 30 pds in a couple of months. Is something wrong with me? I have another fill in October. I feel like I'm letting myself down. eventhough I have NOT been eating bad or too much. (I had a few experiences when i did not chew enough or ate too fast, thats NOT fun) well, if you have some advice or if this sounds like something that has happened to you, please send it my way!

Thanks,

One of the best places to start is by posting a sample menu. A lot of times people truly believe they're eating well, but perhaps not really seeing what they're eating.

Exercise will add muscle, which will add weight. Remember that weight does not equal fat.

If you're on liquids you're probably still in ketosis. Weightloss stalls in ketosis for a month or longer are not uncommon at all.

Don't weigh yourself. Instead, take your measurements. I've lost about 3 lbs in the last 2 months, but I've lost a size and a half.
