Hey Stevie,.. It's hard to say if you are doing something wrong. Let me say,... 3.5 lbs in a week is pretty good. Sure some loose more,.. then some loose in WHOOSHES and such. I learned pretty quick that I don't like the little ketone stix. They cost too much,..and they never were the color I wanted.

A few keys to success (at least for me):
Drink the water (a bunch)
Exercise (at least walking)
Stick with it.

I have been doing this for two months, lost 21 lbs,.. thats roughly 3 lbs a week,.. it's slow,.. but SURE. Sometimes a couple or three pounds will drop real quick. then I hit a stand still. The best part.. I feel great,.. my slacks fit better (even some I had in the back of the closet), and I am not hungry.

God Bless
