  • The way I see it, I've just lost 36lbs of excellent insulation material - a fat person takes longer to die of hypothermia in cold water than a slim one. That he because they have more insulation. Until my body adjusts, I expect I will feel colder. It will just take a bit of time.

  • The first week or two of calorie restriction, you will always drop more because it is mostly water. I dropped 6.5lb my first week and 3lb in the second. Then it settled down to 2lb/wk for a while. As you lose, it will slow down. Keep going as you are for now and see how it stands in a month or two. Being so young your lose…

  • Mine started peeling at the tips after wearing nail polish for the first time in a long long time. So I filed the peely bits at the tip flat with the rest of the nail (so there were no tempting peeling bits to pick at really) and use hand cream to try and keep them less dry. Time will tell.

  • Me at the moment, I get a sudden weight drop the day it starts. Last month I lost 2lb overnight, this month (a few days ago) I dropped 1.6lb. Still feel a bit bloated though, so can't figure that out.
