@cherlycherlyn48808 I drink 64 to 97 oz. of water and I don’t eat the same think for breakfast everyday no soda work out three times a week and stay away from bread

@milldam Sounds great - I do almost the same just need to fit in some more physical activity for me. Bring on Spring and Summer!

@cherlycherlyn48808 once a week I have a burger with a bun but the other day I had a hot dog for lunch my boyfriend said wth no bun I said nope. No bread

@milldam Great job! it definitely takes discipline to say no to bread and buns I’m eating little to no bread too

Answer 2

Slow loss is good. They say it's stays away more often.  

Answer 3

Loosing it is. better than gaining it. hang in there

Answer 4

Depending on your body size I am 5. 1, started 1/1/2020 and I have lost 6. 4 lbs and 9 inches off my body. Make sure you measure. if you are petite that is a good amount. Keep moving, if you talk on the phone walk while talking. Measure the scale is only one component and the inches off are a added bonus. Chest, waist, hips, upper arms, and upper thighs. Keep water with fruit/basil or mint in your fridge to help you get the water down. Pinterest has a lot of good water ideas to keep you H20 motivated. You got this. I am in the green plan. Slow and steady wins the race.  

Answer 5

1000cal a day you’ll lose

Answer 6

I added intermittent fasting. No food ( just water) 6 pm to 10 am. Have lost 13# in 6 weeks. I’m 67. This is the fastest I have ever lost weight.

Answer 7

5 lbs in a month is pretty good. that’s more than a lb a week.  

Answer 8

I just started Intermittent Fasting this week. I lost 1. 4 lbs. I have only lost 10 lbs since Nov. 4th, so this is a big improvement for me. Last week, I only lost . 2.  

Answer 9

It's funny--one person's disappointment is another person's dream! I would give anything to lose 5 lbs in a month. We all forget it's not a race and it's not all about the scale. There are so many other successes that we can celebrate!  

Answer 10

Lots and lots of water!  

Answer 11

You should be saying "Wow I have lost 5 pounds since January" . this is not a road race but a road to a healthy eating lifestyle. Your body is adjusting to the journey--You got this going in the right direction! So proud of you for continuing on WW -- it gets easier as time as goes on so hang in there. Keep it going.  

Answer 12

What are you doing so far? (It’s hard to give advice blindly) And why do you want to drop weight faster?  

Answer 13

If you drink alcohol, give it up, at least for awhile

Answer 14

That’s a decent weight loss. Too fast makes it hard to maintain. Don’t be too hard on yourself.  

Answer 15

I was on vacation last week at Disney. It was hot, I walked a lot, and I drank water. However, I ate carb, salt loaded food. I GAINED WEiGhT. I came home and refocused on my protein, fruit, veggie and non inflammatory foods. I lost 6 lbs this week post trip. My daughter said Mom you developed inflammation from the high gluten, high salt choices on vacation. I it seems she may be right.  

Answer 16

Watch that gluten, Dairy level, and salt level. You may have food sensitivities like me

Answer 17

Answer 18

That would be 60 lbs if you lost that every month all year just gotta think positive

Answer 19

I'm on green since @singer 6th and at 13 1/2 down. I agree, I would like it faster, but this plan is the easiest for me to follow and as long as it keeps going DOWN, I'll take it. Hang in there, you'll get there.
