    When you started your diet did the weight and inches fall off easy or did it seem to take a bit before noticing a difference?

    For me, I had a significant loss the first week....be it water or what, I was happy because the next week I was down another pound....from that point on it's been 1-2 pounds consistently. I also walk and do Jilliam michaels 30 day shred...although I'm seeing some different curves and strength/ endurance gains, my measurements did not change the first month. I have to admit I was disappointed with this, but continue to work on it. I have about 90 pounds to lose....

    It's been slower for me- about a 1 lb. loss per week most weeks- but I'm doing this for more of a true long-term lifestyle change versus a quick weight loss solution. And my actual body composition and overall "look" has changed dramatically since I'm doing a strength training program along with the carb cycling. I do weight training 4 days a week + cardio and then cardio/power yoga/group fitness classes the other 3 days.

    pwrfl1 i have 50 to lose and for me its more about the number going down. My husband and i are going to try to have a baby but i do not want to get pregnant and put weight on top of weight. I have had two ectopic pregnancies so far and I don't know if weight has anything to do with it but I am not trying again until i lose weight.

    I work 12 hour days with a 40 minute drive to and from work. I dispatch so I sit during my shift. Its hard to get motivated to go to the gym but i am going to try plus the carb cycling.

    Amber - I totally understand it's about those 50 pounds....my feelings pretty much go up and down with my scale numbers....some days I'm super excited cuz scale went down, and when it stalls I get pissy....especially if I don't see a change in the mirror! I think it's wonderful that you are working on losing before getting pregnant ....you certainly will be loads healthier as you adopt this lifestyle!!!! One recurrent theme I've been reading on these threads is that your nutrition dictates your scale....your workouts change your shape and cardio endurance.....this month I'm working hard to control my nutrition , calorie deficit, instead of using my workouts as the deficit. Does that make sense ? Anyway, every person is different, you will need to adjust until you find your sweet spot! :)
