Hi there! The above posts offer some terrific suggestions. I just wanted to add a couple of things. I only lost 5 pounds during the two week induction. It was discouraging to see other people lose so much more! But my weight has slowly and steadily come down.

Weighing yourself everyday can really be counterproductive. Your body naturally goes up and down several pounds each day. Mine is famous for this! You might try weighing yourself just once a week, as soon as you get up, to get a more accurate reflection of how you are doing. You are a pretty small person, and I imagine your frame is small - weighing every two weeks (I know how hard that is) might actually work better for you.

I got real obsessive about weighing myself everyday and if I went up a pound or two it would wreck my whole day. For nothing really. Weight fluctuations are normal and are affected by so many things. Good Luck to You!!! Cindi
