Hello! I was wondering if anyone lost 1-2 pounds the first two weeks and decided to extend phase I to ensure results? I am being rather good and am adopting a new eating style due to this diet/ lifestyle change. However, I have lost only a pound or two and am wondering if I should extend the strict phase. I am aiming to lose 10 - 15 pounds, but it seems like something must be wrong. My inches have not changed either.

I agree with Nancy, but wanted to share this. I was 120 my whole life, until I had kids at 30. Afterwards I was 127-130. Nothing that I did for 15 yrs changed that, and I really tried. I was thinking the same thing, but then I got divorced and went on the divorce diet (no sleep, walking 3 miles a day, eating nothing but a can of soup a day) and got down to 108. OK, that's too thin for even a small boned person 5'6". So I got up to 114 and was ok. Clothes fit great and I looked good. Several years went by, I hit menopause, and 20 pounds came out of nowhere despite being active and watching what I ate. I am desperately trying to get rid of SOME of them so I can wear real clothes instead of mumus and elastic waist stretchy pants. It's all in my waist and tummy. I lost 4 lbs (prob. water weight) the 2nd day, and nothing since. I think this is a good WOE and will stick with it for another couple of weeks. I EXPECT to see SOME kind of result in a months time though. Will keep you posted. Keep trying.
