I wouldn't care what people say about my choice of diet and I'd openly tell them. If I encountered negativity from someone as you have about "not being able to lose more than 3lbs weekly" I'd happily do a full on parade in front of them *choke on their words* when you continue to lose much more over the coming weeks/months
Slimmerdreams- you tell who you want when you want- YOU have took positive action in doing this- YOU ARE dropping weight. Wow 13lbs in 8 days is brilliant well done!
If anyone had a problem/disagreed/dis-believed then it's exactly that= THEIR prob not yours so be proud- you should be
Jem- you are absolutely right there- no one vents their opinion when you are overweight and unhealthy so what makes them think they have the right when you are actively taking positive action.
Another thing too, how long have we had the "healthy eating and exercise" "1lb a week loss" is the healthy thing to do. I'm not arguing it isn't healthy lots of people are blind to other options and that's fine of course, whatever works for them but it's not the right way for many, each to their own. I for one do not have the patience to go slowly slowly, I want rid of my fat, I already exercise and mostly don't eat badly but once I'm at the weight I want THEN I will have the motivation/kick up the ass to maintain it with more exercise.
There is so much info on ketosis and so many success stories/proof on forums like this, it's not really to argue with is it?
Just looking at posters stats and Wow! you guys are all doing so well x
