12lbs lost 58lbs to go! I wish my wife was having the same results. She has only lost 4 lbs. I got Ketone strips yesterday and I am showing moderate. Is this good? My wife was showing trace and was discouraged.

Please tell your wife, that trace IS a positive reading, and that is all that is necessary. You are not burning any more, or any faster, because your strip is darker. Sometimes a lack of water may cause a darker strip and in the same way, lots of water may dilute the urine sample. NOT to worry!!

Also, remind her that men will lose faster - much faster - on this WOE (a fact that all us women could rather do without!!).

Women have lots of biological reasons as to why their metabolisms are different, sometimes resistant, sometimes downright counterproductive - such as cycle time, hormones will cause a temporary water retention. the "whoose" will happen for her in her own good time!!

You are both doing great...as long as you are moving in the direction of your goals...count that as a success!!

Good luck.

By the way, I don't use the ketostrips either...it's a little distracting for me. I just try to keep within the guidelines of the plan I'm on, and trust that the system will all adjust itself out and begin to work.

So far, so good.

congrats on the loss! I am also on my 3rd week. The first week I lost like crazy...about 8lbs. Now I have lost 12 and I am thrilled even though it is now slowing down. Tell your wife to hang in there, cause it will happen. Are you both measuring as well? If not, you should because sometimes the loss is more apparent in inches .
Good luck to you both! Laurie
