I have been on the EMTWL for about 3 weeks now. I intially went up 2 pounds after increasing my calories, the scale did not move down at all! Although it was a little depressing to see the gain, I had read all of the sticky's on what to expect and the whole process, so I stuck with it. AND today, the scale finally moved. I have lost the initial 2 pounds gained and another 1.5 pounds on top of that. Sooooo excited. I will never deprive my body again!

So for those of you who have not seen the scale move or inches lost, hang in there, keep working at it, because IT DOES WORK!!! Don't give up!!!

Just thought I'd share :smile:

    Congrats!!! I've been at it a month and initially I gained back almost 5 lbs - happy to say the 5lbs are gone and I've lost an inch in my waist and hips and I'm making sounds similar to the incredible Hulk.

    Keep up the good work :bigsmile:
