I lost 6 lbs. I agree it depends on how much you have to lose. My biggest hold back on weight has been aspertame, not enough water and low carb candy. If you are using anything with this artificial sweetner or even the low carb candy that claim 0 carbs but have "sugar alcohols" they are a disaster for me. I drink 10 8oz glasses of water daily. If I dont my loss slows way down. Good luck, and you might decide to only weigh once a week and by all means take your measurments. Even at losing 6 lbs I went down two pants sizes.
