First week :(

[Mrs_H87]

So I've been following step 2 religiously all week, and promised a decent loss by my CDC. Just got back from weigh in and have only lost 4lbs! I am totally heartbroken as its been a very tough week and the thought of the big loss was all that was keeping me going! I am on my period and she said it may be that, anyone had this happen to them?

We all expect big losses on this plan due to the severe nature of it. If you've stuck to plan I can only think it's hormonal and you will have a big loss next week ?
Have you been drinking lots if water ?
Try not to get down about it, Mother Nature has a lot to answer for x x

Sorry you are down about it - 4lbs is still a good loss even if its not the huge numbers that we all expect on CD. How much weight have you got to lose?

Yeah I have stuck to it 100% all week so I think it must be hormonal. So annoying! Feeling a bit better about it today though. The funny thing is when she weighed me for the first time last week I was 12 lbs lighter on her scales than mine which was weird! Then yesterday my scales at home showed an 11lbs loss and they have always been quite accurate in the past when I did slimming world. So not sure what happened there! Maybe she recorded my start weight wrong?!

Bessie, CDC thinks I should lose around 9 stone, however I would be happy with 5 I think! I just want to feel better in myself and be healthy enough to conceive x

My CDC scales were wrong last week, I knew by my scales, moved hers and they were spot on lol.
If it's a mistake or even hormonal you should have a great loss next week and that will be a big boost going into week 3 x x x x

I lost 3 lbs this week because of TOTM-granted it wasn't my first week but it definitely has an effect.

I will be happy with 3 a week
It's almost a stone a month, that's pretty good going x

I bet she misread the scales and you have actually list 11! I'm aiming for 9ish stone- if you stick to it you'll be surprised how fast it goes. 4 years ago I lost over 8 stone in 5 1/2 months. Loads of people fall pregnant whilst on cd so watch out !!
