I have never done this before and I am alittle nervous. I am starting slow and just wonder how long to see results. I have been logging for 5days and seem to be low on protein and went over the carbs twice. I weigh in tomorrow. Is it bad if I stay the same? Does is sometimes take awhile to see the difference on the scale? While I guess I will see.....

    It almost always takes quite some time to see a significant difference on the weight scale. Don't get discouraged. More often than not you may see a slight gain before you see significant drops in weight. Don't freak out this is simply because your body is not used to the diet you're adjusting it to, and more than likely you are drinking more water than usual. Give it a few weeks, and remember to stick with it and stay positive :-)

    Don't be discouraged if the numbers don't change right away. It takes some time, this is just a means of being accountable and helping you be aware of what you are putting into your body. There are some great, supportive people out there. Good luck!
