Firstly, hello I am a 56 y/o female who read the book from beginning to end. I learned more about sugar and carbs in one chapter than I have known my entire life. I am 275 lbs and started the new life style 9 days ago. I average between 12-15 net carbs daily. I decided to not weigh myself until today for the first time and I have lost 3 lbs! I assumed with a starting weight of 270+ and drinking 90 oz of water per day and keeping a food diary,I would have lost more. I am so disheartened. My friends on Weight Watchers who consume sugar are losing more and faster than I. I know I am sounding like I'm a cry baby. Sorry. I pee constantly and even wake up at night now to pee. Isnt this a sign of losing?? Can people tell me what I should expect in the way of weight loss per week.

I have not started exercising yet but plan to do that next week. I do feel better. I have no aches and pains like before so I am very grateful for that. but please look at my food diary and give me some advice.

Breakfast:

1 cup coffee with 2 T cream
2 eggs/cheddar cheese w/green pepper and onion
35oz of water

lunch:

Salad with red vinegar and olive oil
cheese

snack mozzarella stick

Dinner

1 meat like chicken breast or small steak
salad with red vinegar/olive oil

snack SF jello

Thanks friends, Phatchick
