    It took alomost 3 weeks for me to lose my first 2 pounds. It was very frustrating because I was staying under my calorie goal AND working out 5 days a week. It's healthier to lose it slowy, so be patient. Before you go spending your money on a dvd,there are tons of free workout videos on youtube... :)

    A whole week huh? I see your frustration.

    I found drinking more water and eating more protein helped me, but each to their own.

    Also, forget the word diet - this is a lifestyle change. You don't want the weight coming back.

    My advice is to keep at it! Make sure you are weighing and measuring your food so you are getting correct portion sizes.

    Drink plenty of water, keep plugging away at it, and if you're only watching calories and not caring about the rest, well... start caring. Keep under on those carbs, fats, saturated fats, and even sodium. Good luck!

    I just started juicing my fruits and vegetables and have lost 6 lbs in 5 days. I have cut my caloric intake by at least half. Im no hungry anymore. I eat food in between my juices for the fiber.

    Calorie deficit + time = weightloss. It's the only thing that works.

    Eat now like you're going to eat for the rest of your life. Exercise/lift weights for body composition.

    Don't expect weight loss when YOU want it. Your body will adjust as it seems fit. The scale is only going to show you trending. You can't expect the "truth" from the scale. Water retention, among many other things will adjust what the scale says...but it doesn't always give a true representation of fat loss. Measure your body, how your clothes fit, and over all how you feel about yourself.

    It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for friends and family, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Keep going!

    I needed to see this for myself. Thanks for posting!
