Hi Abbi,

Congratulations on the 13lbs that is a brilliant start

Yes, a lot of the initial weight lost on induction is water and so may not show too much as shrinkage. But you are obviously doing this exactly right otherwise you wouldn't have lost those 13lbs.

Keep it up and from now on you will be truly loosing fat, and you will start to see things change. Don't worry that your loss will slow down, it is normal and in fact good...it means you are really buring true stroed fat and a slow loss is far more easy to keep off.

I'd say you have just cause to be jumpin' through hoops

Lesley

I agree with Lesley. Congratulations on losing your 13lbs. That is a GREAT start! Also, it is true that after a while it won't take the water, and it WILL take the fat. So just wait a while, it WILL happen!
