So I hear there's a stall in the fourth week??
Hi, from what I've heard, a lot of people tend to stall in their fourth week. Now, I'm ending my second week so I don't really have to worry about it yet, but I was wondering something.
Is there anyone out there who DIDN'T stall in the 4th week?
The reason I'm asking is, I'm going out of town on the 25th (toward the end of my 4th week) to visit my dad who moved to Michigan last year, before I gained a lot of weight. He's seen me twice since then, so he's known I've gained it and I now weigh about 5 pounds less than when he last saw me. One of my big motivations for the diet (along with the #1 reason of doing it for myself), but I also want to make my dad proud of me. He's struggled with thyroid problems like me and is very overweight because of them. So I kind of want to surprise him a little with my weight loss. I know I'm of course not going to lose it all by the time I go up there. I just want him to see a difference. As you can probably tell, I love my dad to death and his opinion of me matters a lot. I know he won't look down on me even if I weighed a million pounds.. but still... I'm sure you understand.
Another question I have is for those of you who did stall. Did you stay on Induction or go on to Ongoing Weight Loss? I plan on staying on Induction until I get really close to my goal weight.
Any insight on the stall would be much appreciated. I'm kind of wishing that I would've read the New Diet Revolution book when it was given to me 6 months ago instead of sticking it on my bookshelf... heh
