Losing inches Before Pounds?Anyone Else?
 
Hi everyone :) Im new here and getting slightly frustrated.Im almost at the end of induction (in a few days) and my weight is not coming off very well.I did make a booboo and ate 2 strawberrys 1 yesterday one today before reading on more in the book...sugar right? Thats sounds so dumb 2 strawberrys lol anywho......But before that nothing surgary or fruit.I feel like Im losing I measured only a few days ago because I was feeling like I was losing but the scale was saying NOT MUCH lol Did anyone else lose inches before weight?And Im staying at 20 carbs a day.Also why is coffee or caffine so bad?Im slightly confused on parts in the book,must be the hair..thanks in advance :)

Yeah I notice that I lose inches first then it appears on the scale.

Hang in there, your not far now. :)

I'm just the opposite... pounds, but no inches. Ugh... I don't know which is worse, honestly. Hang in there!

KEEP YOUR FATS REALLY HIGH! Go to www.fitday.com and make SURE your fats are at LEAST 65% of total cals.
And DRINK WATER.

It'll come. You'll see.

Way more inches than pounds.

Its almost depressing. I think I lost something insane like 50 inches with my last 33 lbs. I cant remember the exact number, but its in my journal and I remember being scared by it lol.

Hang in there.

same here at the moment. spent the last two months battling the same pound and not losing it...then finally measured today and noticed 5 cms gone. it's encouraging enough to stick with it. :)

I was sad this past week I hadn't lost a pound while my hubby lost two. Then I measured myself this morning, I lost an inch each off my hips and waist. :p
( Though Id REALLY like to see the scale drop a pound or so)

I've never measured myself but I could definitely see the armpit flab disappearing. I noticed my bra lines on my back weren't quite so noticeable either.

Coffee is not recommended during induction because it spikes your blood sugar and could leave you with cravings. I don't know about you but since I've been eating this way I've had soooo much energy that I don't need caffeine anymore (I've also got hyperinsulimia).

Hang in there, and besides wouldn't you rather LOOK better than see a better number on the scale?

Well you all are so helpful Im glad I found this site! :)

Me too. I haven't lost any pounds for about 1 1/2 weeks now but amazingly I can watch my stomach shrink. It's very cool. Me personally I'm not as concerned with the scale #'s because just the pound loss wont get me into smaller clothes. I actaully like the inch loss more!

I just measured and believe me, measuring or weighing myself was taboo until about 2 weeks ago. Everyone here supported me and I finally did it and I am glad I did! Since Tuesday the 4th, I have lost 2 inches around my Bust, 3 around my waist and 3 around my hips...I almost don't believe it.
