slow progress--afraid to add in P2 foods
| Tue, 10-26-2004 - 11:56am |
I am starting week 7 on SBD and my progress has been very slow. I have lost 7.5 lbs total. On P2 I have generally added one serving of fruit per day. I think I have had two sevings (total over 5 weeks) of approved cereal. I'm afraid that adding in more options will slow my progress even more. I'm starting to get discoraged and bored with what I'm eating--I have started working out more and still haven't seen any improvement. I want to continue on SBD--I really do feel better--but It's difficult when I didn't have the big first two week weight loss (I only dropped 4 lbs in P1) and now the scale still isn't moving much. Anyone experience similar problems or have ideas on how to add back foods without putting the lbs back on?

I have not been exercising regularly beyond doing a variety of sit-ups in the morning. I am going to try to add cardio exercises. Hopefully this will also help.
Good luck.

Dawn,
Your weight loss looks great to me. I don't know how much you have to lose, but if it isn't a lot, you are making great progress. I know it feels slow at times, but remind yourself that you are moving in the right direction, and slower weight loss is actually healthier for you.
I bet that adding more variety and P2 foods will jumpstart your loss, and will also help keep you going.
Good luck,
Ellie
