Hello, well after worrying myself that the diet was not working on me, I tried the scales this morning and found that overnight, I had lost 5lbs! This has now given me renewed energy and focus to get to where I want to be in the next 5 weeks.
On the other hand, my wife is doing this with me and she is in a similar situation. She only wants to get 2 and a half stone off (in 7 weeks from the start). We are now nearly 2 weeks in and after seeing my dramatic overnight loss, I pushed her in to seeing if her weight had moved. She lost 8lbs in the first week, and has seen no movement since either. So she jumped on, and no change again. Needless to say, she is very disappointed. So much so that she has decided that if there is no movement between now and THursday (CDC weigh in), she is going to pack it in. I understand why, but have tried my best to encourage her, but for £35 per week, she also wants to see some kind of result!
Now I know you women are weird creatures (TOTM etc etc), but can anyone relate to this strange pattern. She has 100% SS'd and drunk 3-4 litres of water a day, but she is slowly losing patience. I soooo much want to fix the scales to show a loss to keep her going!!! (obviously I wont )
Why has nothing happened since last week. I need her to keep doing it for me too, as it makes it easier with a buddy, but she doesnt want to waste £35 a week and put herself through this for no end result. I expect you are going to say stick with it, stone a month etc, but this is not going to cut the bread with her! Come on, someone please help me help her.....
Thanks - Neco
