Hi Michelle.

Hmmm... by May 2? That would be 3-4 lbs a week. I think you started too late. Most people on average will lose 10% of the weight they need to lose on induction, and 5% per month after that. Remember that every pound of fat contains about 3500 calories. That's a lot. You're probably not going to see loss on a daily basis. 1-2 lbs per week would is about average and generally considered safe.

I wish you all the best luck, and you're certainly doing all the right things, but give your body permission to go at its own rate, and enjoy the ride in the meantime.
