Two weeks in, and no weight lost. :-(

So, no weight lost is probably a lie. I've lost .9. But after two weeks of clean eating, and lifting heavy, I haven't lost anything. Think it's because I've lifted heavy? I can see a bit of a difference in my arms. They're looking tighter, but not much of a weight loss.

    The first time I started this program after the first month I got on the scale and nearly died, I had gained 5lbs. I could see a huge difference in my body but I let the scale derail me and I quit. I suggest staying off the scale until at least after phase 2. Go by what you see in the mirror, not the numbers!

    Yeah. I'm trying not to let it frustrate me. I can see the difference, but it's 27 years of society telling me the scale number is the one that matters. I WILL change this mindset, but dang, it's hard! Eat Clean and follow your dreams!

    For ths reasone I'm taking weekl measurements. I "gained" almost 3 lbs from last weeks weigh in to today's. I'm sure it's mostly water weight (TOM is next week as well) - so while the scale went up, I did see a small change in my measurements going down. I've been addicted to the scale for so long that it's hard to break it, but I can only allow myself now 1x a week weigh-ins.

    I say do measurements and toss out the scale # for a while - if you're like me and live by it, it'll drive you bonkers

    you guys are hitting it right on the head! Phases 1 and 2 are for muscle building, phase 3 is the fat burning phase! Stay patient! :o]

    don't be slave to the scale. i'm not weighing myself until the end. i read on other forums, that you will weigh heavier but lose inches. i'm in this for a lifestyle change not numbers on the scale. let's keep our focus ladies:-) what weeks are you all on?

    I start week 3 today. Doing days 15 and 16 together, as I got lazy yesterday. :wink:

    Thanks for all the feedback. I hate how we're expected to live and die by the scale. I was only going to weigh myself at the end of each phase but curiosity got the better of me. Let that be a lesson! Scales LIE! (Or at least don't tell you the WHOLE truth).
