Hi Susan,

Welcome and I hope I can be of some help to you.

Your body is adjusting and you need to give it more time. 4 lbs is great in 9 days, how much would you expect to lose in this time on another diet.

This WOE will help you lose weight but you will have to be more patient, some people only weigh themselves once a month and after induction (by the way you will probably lose more in the next few days) things will slow down depending on your body, we are all different and will all lose at our bodies pace and not at the pace we would like it to be.

Read a few journals - Ravens and LC Sponges are two of the best to read and you will see how their sheer determination has helped enormously.

Happy LCing and remember it may take a bit of time but it will be worth it.
