6th DAY AND NOT ENOUGH WEIGHT LOSS..WHATS WRONG? HELP PLS

[140goingon120]

Alright well over a 2 year period I managed to go from 170 to 140 doing weight watchers & exercise here and there, then I stopped getting my period so I tried to eat some more calories and went up to 143.2 and I decided to try this diet as my goal is 120. I know I won't reach that w/ this diet but thought I'd get there almost halfway. Well I'm on the beginning of day 6 and have only lost about 4.2 pounds. My dad did this diet and lost a total of 8 pounds and I hear so many people losing that much! Will I? Or should I just not expect myself to lose that amount of weight... Thanks

Hi 140; There is no guarantee that everyone will lose 8 lbs week-1 on CSD. If you are 140 lbs and only 5 ft tall, you will lose more weight because you will have more fat than a person who is 140 lbs and is 5ft 8ins. Posting your weight without the height, does not tell us much. Another question.... Are you pooping regularly .

ah good point, sorry. i'm 5'5 and do poop every single day. even several times a day...

I think the weight loss also depends on whether you're a male or female. Men lose faster and more usually than women. Also bigger people with much more weight will lose more weight. Are you totally sticking to the diet w/o any cheating. Even one wrong mouthful will stall the diet. Hope this helps you. Also the book NCSD says to take off 2 weeks and eat healthy between each CSD week. Gook luck.
