I was curious what others thought slow was.
I am losing between 2-4lbs a month (Not counting my first month).
What about others?

Lessara,
Your question makes me think about the mindsets that I've taken on regarding weightloss, Namely that this effort needs to be validated by results on the dang scales! And fast! I know that's not true. At least not with me now. I'd like to see the scale move backwards a little each week, (each month) if there's no movement, I feel like it's slow.

Lessara, I've only lost 3 lbs so far in induction (12 days), so I guess that qualifies as slow. I'd like to lose 50 lbs by next year, but if I only get halfway there, I'll be ecstatic. I feel so much better in so many ways already, that any weight loss at all is a gain! (That's a joke, ma'am!)

Lessara, I've only lost 3 # since tha first of sept. Guess I've found my place in the turtle club. Thanks,Nat, by the way ---I didn't know this was here!! I hang in there for the health benefits, in the meantime--never felt better !

I started the diet and didnt' lose my induction weight for 13 days or so....and then I lost 7 pounds out of the blue!! I was so excited that all I wore were midriff shirts until it got too cold. Then over the next month I lost a grand total one 1 pound!! I have been there since. However...I had not given up caffeine yet or aspartame...and I was known to take little cheats. After two months I stopped counting carbs and went on instinct...lol. I didn't gain any weight back really...but I didn't lose either. So, this reply actually should be the starter of a new supprt group..."those who tend to cheat"...
