"It's helpful to hear other people think they're going slowly. I just completed my 2 week induction & lost 6 pounds. I felt really discouraged yesterday. Ran farther that usual, but was in tears most ofthe way. So many people seem to lose so much on induction, it was difficult for me yesterday to feel successful."

What a huge variation there seems to be, but I am mostly discouraged because people are noticing my husband has lost weight, and I haven't yet lost enough to show!
Decided to try butter on everything.

I'm a slow poke too-- Er a ( poor looser?) grin..

don't say turtle thats a chocolate covered pecan and caramel covered yum yum.

I'm on several meds that slow weight loss including daily prednisone to keep my white blood cells from shutting down my own organs and I have a combination of autoimmune conditions that dont help (a connective tissue disorder, celiac, eosinophilic gastroenteritis and multiple food allergies).

I have however lost 25 lbs in 6 months. Thats almost 5 lbs a month. Dropping a TURKEY THAT SIZED IS A BIG DEAL. I'm getting teased and asked what it is I am up to.

Brother dropping 10 lbs in a week or his friend loosing 25 in three weeks.
Evil grin - care to introduce us in person I ask- funny he declined... I'ts not like I could really wring his neck from my wheelchair.

I'ts not easy goint LC but it is the only thing that dropped my weight at all.

My pain level is down, my migrains have left. If only I could find my collar bones.
