My Dr's Office Says Only 14lbs Lost - Eight Days Out

Listen to lady Lithia she is right and advised me of the same thing I way less first thing in the morning than I do in the in the afternoon after eating and drinking I had to learn to stop weighing myself so much as I had a stal from week 2-6 , I lost about 20 pounds in week one and not nother pound until week 6-present down 25 more pounds in the last 3 weeks.It will come off (hugs)

It may help your brain to lose the word "only"
It's not only..you've lost 14 pounds in 8 days. That is amazing. This is not only.
Please..no more only.

My scale is the only one I pay attention to - first thing in the morning, naked after I pee - just like Lady L said.

I disregard all other scales.

Are you kidding me??? when was the last time you lost 14lbs in 8 days.. Give your self an attagirl and give yourself some time.  Congrats on the 1st 14!!!!

And I'm  just sayin'....thats 1 1/2 10lb bags of potatoes you are no longer carring around chickie!!  :)

Thanks for putting it into perspective for me Jill... I need to stop saying "only" because it's REDUCTIVE, and who needs that? I have SEVERAL friends (non-surgical) that would be DELIGHTED to lose 14lbs in a MONTH.

I'm sorry for feeling sorry for myself. Thanks for straightening me out guys!

You feel like crying because you've lost nearly 2 pounds a day?  That is FANTASTIC weight loss but you won't lose that fast for long.  If you are crying about losing that fast, I feel you're going to be having a very rough time when you slow down to a more normal rate of weight loss.

14 pounds is great!  That's nothing to sneeze at...

When I came home from surgery, I was 18 pounds heavier than when I went in.  I did not lose that fluid weight and actually lose ven ONE POUND until the middle of the third week after surgery.  So, using that as a yardstick, you're doing dynamite!

Everyone loses differently, so don't despair... your body will lose how YOUR body wants to.  A word of advice to you since you're so early out... don't rely on the scale to validate your experience.  As long as you work your program (get in your fluids, protein and exercise), the weight WILL come off.  It might not seem like a lot of weight in a short amount of time will disappear, but over the course of 6 months or a year, TONS of weight will go.

I never lost a lot a week, but it was steady all the way through... so over time, it added up greatly. Do yourself a favor and try not to focus on your weight... it will drive you BATTY!  :)
