Default I hate waiting!

I'm on induction again...in the second week and have lost nothing in this week...lost 10lbs the first week. I do know that there is a period that your body adjusts to the weight loss and doesn't lose anthing...I also know that sometimes you lose inches instead of pounds. What I hate is the waiting time between....you get spoiled in the beginning of induction...losing so quick and then when you have to wait for your body to catch up you feel as tho you are failing or wasting your time, tho we know we are not!! I hate the fact that I am in induction and not losing anything this week...the last time i did induction I lost both weeks but didn't lose anthing the 3rd or 4th week. I hated it and ended up going off the diet, this time i plan to stick to it just not sure if I will move on to phase 2 or stay in induction. I was planning on moving on thru but if i don't lose the 2nd week of induction maybe i should stay on it a few more weeks...i don't know....it's frustrating!

My husband has always told me....you didn't gain the weight in one day...you won't lose it in one day either! I hate that....why can't it be the way I wan't it to be!!

Anyway....thanks for listening!

Newsflash darlin' — no one likes waiting! It sucks equally for all of us. The good news is, you've already lost 10 pounds, and that's fantastic! The best part (for me) about the rapid weight loss during Induction, even though I stalled for 6 weeks afterward, was that the giant whoosh in the beginning gave me motivation to stick with it through the slow times when I wasn't losing.

Just as a reference, I lost 15 pounds during Induction, then nothing for 6 weeks. Then, on it's own, things starting moving again. This type of stall is common, but so many people get discouraged by it and give up the fight before the weight loss starts up again. Stick it out, and you'll do great!
