It is hard... It is one of the hardest things I have done- However, it is so worth it! One thing you didnt indicate is what your start weight was- From my experience- that has a lot to do with initial weight loss... I have been on the program for 13 weeks, and I love it! Somedays are a huge struggle, somedays I want to throw in the towel...but it is so worth it! I lose on average 2 pounds a week. That's it, no more than that ever! Sometimes its one, sometimes its none- Keep your focus straight

Hi all- Alli has to be one of the greatest tools I have had in my weight loss journey. I have lost around 18 pounds, over half of my goal, and I am thrilled. This past weekend, my in-laws were in town, which involved a ton of food and not much exercise, and for the first time in the 11 weeks since I started this journey, I gained back 2 pounds... and it has really made me mad :)... So I know the obvious- restart weighing and measuring my food, up my water intake, work out and up my intensity, etc

I am thrilled to have a 17 pound weight loss over the past 9 weeks. I average about 2 pounds a week, with the exception of my cycle weeks. But the key to remember, I think, Is that weight loss is so very individualized... I was discouraged when I saw that people were losing 5 -7 pounds a week, and I was losing 1-2, but I then realized that body's are different, and I am meant to lose the weight slowly.. So base your journey on your own success, not others! Good luck!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! It is amazing how good it feels isn't it :)... WAY TO GO!!! My weight loss has been much slower, it took me about 5 weeks to lose 10 pounds, I am a steady 2 pounds a week kind of girl- but that's ok- as long as it goes :)... As far as the pepsi goes- I so understand- I was a Dr Pepper girl- LOVE me some Dr Pepper, and didn't think I could give it up, but I did, I have had one in 9 weeks- and I feel so much better- I found Diet Dr Pepper w/ Cherry is a great

hmm...maybe you could post this in the ask the nutritionist thread- and they can let you know how important veggies are in the weight loss process, or what substitutions you can make? I love most veggies, but there are definitly ones out there that I can't stand...(tomatoes :) )- so dont force yourself to eat them... it doesnt pay off! My 2 favorite things to do with veggies is 1) I make fat free dip - take fat free sour cream, and add the ranch dry powder mix . I always keep cut up broccoli
