    . One of the changes I noticed is unclear skin. Anyone having issues with that?

    Here too, breakout for 3 or 4 ays but much smoother after that...think I need more water!

    I am at around the 4 week mark, and have gained 4 pounds and 1 inch on my waist. I come from a background of years of low calorie/high cardio....and lots of yo yo dieting. (low carb, low fat, low calorie, slim fast.....I've tried many!)

    All of this started 10 years ago and it has been on and off ever since reaching my goal of 120. I am back to 145. I was at 135, but went on Atkins last summer, got down to 125, but then put on 20 pounds over 6 months...went back on low calorie about 2 months ago, lost 5 pounds, but put that back on when I raised my calories to 1500.

    According to the Scooby site listed here, I should be eating 1900 and losing. I am afraid to raise it to that because I have gained at 1500, and an inch on my waist! I am sticking it out though. I do 3x a week strength training for 30 minutes, and usually 30 minutes of cardio 5x a week.

    I started losing right away as well- I am 5'6" and 168.6 today (!) and would like a healthy BMI at 145lbs. I have lost a pound a week for the last two. That is pretty impressive for me since I did 3 months of WW to see the same and likely starved myself while trying.
    I think everyone is different.

    I personally started losing right away but I have a lot to lose (40-50 lbs).

    It seems a lot of people start losing again around the 4 week mark.

    I have upped my calories from 1400 to 1600 on May 5th & again to 1800 on May 17th...I have not lost or gained so I am glad about that...My activity level is at moderate right now but not sure if I should keep it at that b/c some weeks like last week I didn't exercise like normal...But like I said I am maintaining my weight with 1800...My main problem is getting that many calories eaten per day without eating junk...For me 1800 is a whole lot of food...But I am going to stick with this for at least another month b/c if I am not gaining I am happy trying to eat more...I have faith that I will start losing once my body realizes I am not going to starve it but I have to get to the point where I CAN eat 1800 each day...I am getting there but it's hard sometimes...Best of luck to all of you doing this!! :)

    I'm 6 weeks into this. Started eating 1800-2200 and lifting (new rules of lifting for women).
    I gained 3 pounds the second week (most likely due to lifting) and it came a few weeks later. Still haven't seen loses on the scale but I've lost a few inches in waist and hips so I'm pleased with that. Hopefully I'll see a slow downward trend on the scale too.
