Pixie- I hope you can stick with it. The weight loss does slow after the first few weeks, but it will continue. I also lose weight in spurts (sp?) I won't lose anything for a week and a half or two weeks, and then WOOSH- 3 lbs. It is slow, but if you can stick to it, don't give up.

Also, flax seeds work well for the back up. They keep everything steady. If you do a search for flax meal or ground flax seeds you should be able to find some recipes. Veggies will also help with weight loss and constipation. I don't lose if I forget to include the veggies.

Good luck, and keep posting. It always helps me to stay motivated.
