I am 5'5, 33 years old with a 14 month old child. I started LCing on January 1st of this year at 151 pounds. I am currently 137 pounds, with a goal weight of 135. I lost 8 pounds within the first month (I didn't do Atkins, so I didn't really do an "induction"; I just sorta dove into traditional LCing). So that's a loss of 5.5%. Since then I've lost 6 more pounds. Because I only had about 15 pounds to lose from the start, my loss has been way slooooow since that initial 8-pound loss in the first month. But the patience is paying off as I see my goal weight only 2 pounds away now! Hang in there, everyone, it will happen as long as you stick with it.
