Please don't get discouraged. 3-5 lbs is a respectable amount of weight to lose in 1.5 weeks. I know it says some people can lose up to 14 lbs in ph1 but quite frankly I know I'm not one of them. It took a long time to gain this much weight that I have and I have come to accept it will take a while to get it off.

One thing that could help is if you would post a list of what you're eating and when you're eating it in a typical day.

Another thing you can do is ask yourself what you're expecting to happen and if it's a realistic expectation or not.

dont get discouraged, I too lose really slow, but my clothes are looser and belly flatter. that makes me stay motivated.
