Hi. I just stared the diet Sunday afternoon. I'm doing pretty good. I have a lot of weight to lose. close to 150 lbs. I was really expecting a faster weight loss. I've only lost a couple pounds. I can't help but weigh myself morning and night. I'm not hungry and I'm excited that the cravings have somewhat diminished. I am having headaches, but I think it may be from my body cleansing itself. I do have a couple of coffees in the morning.

My clothes fit a little looser. Is it possible to be losing fat but the scale not really showing it? I don't want to get discouraged because by reading the book it seems that I will eventually lose weight. I feel weird eating so often because normally I don't eat breakfast or snacks. I think it may just take a little while for my body to adjust to my new eating habbits. What do you think?

Tricia,


About headaches, coffee, etc...You are allowed to still drink a couple cups of coffee per day.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. I read that about the headaches after looking around the board. Makes sense. I'm just so happy there are other people that are experiencing the same thing, it's helpful to read about other people's journeys through this lifestyle change. I appreciate the helpful advice and the support. I talked with penguin? earlier and she was very supportive as well. I'll be sure to check in at least once a day to read the new items. Thank you.
