Hi everyone!! Glad to have this forum where I can find answers to questions and also to converse with people who are all in the same boat!! I don't have that much to lose, and I am not considered overweight by the BMI index, but would like to lose about 12-15 pounds before I go to Florida in about 3 weeks. Do you lose weight slower when you don't have that much weight to lose than people who have alot of weight to lose? Or does it all come off the same as long as you abide by the rules in Phase One?

I find it depends on how "bad" of an eater you are before you start phase 1.

If your eating like a little piggy, of course your going to see super fast results from phase 1 because it's like night & day when you compare the two diets.

I know I have started phase 1 when I weighed 282 lbs...I have started it when I weighed 230 lbs & I have started it weighing 220 lbs...all three times, I lost at least 5 lbs. in the first week...but, every one is different.
