Discouraged with no weight loss for second 2 weeks on Phase 2August 13 2008 at 3:05 PM | Steve S |
| I started Phase 2 on July 18 and lost 10 pounds by July 29. Since then I haven't lost a pound. Anyone else had a similar experience? I didn't expect to keep losing at the five pounds a week rate, just thought it would taper off to a pound or two a week. I'd appreciate comments and/or suggestions.

Maybe there's some weight fluctuation going on here which is confusing the issue. Perhaps you didn't lose as much as you thought and this time you've now lost more than you thought (if you see what I mean). |

Well, Tom, I'm not sure what you mean. I've been weighing myself on my home scale, an electronic Tanita, which also gives fat percentages. I recorded my weight and the time of day in a journal, and in the last twelve or so days I haven't lost a pound despite taking the Phase 2 two or three times daily, so I was wondering if others have experienced a plateau in the first month.

Never mind the second 2 weeks, I'm still trying to fathom how you lost so much weight in the first 2 weeks. What's the secret? |

Tom,
I don't have any answer for that. I do know that on Weight Watchers a few years ago that there were a few instances where according to the scale I lost five pounds in one week. My weekly average, though, was one to two pounds a week during that year's WW program. As for the Phase 2, I had very little interest in snacking between meals during the first two weeks on starch blocker. Maybe it was water loss. |

I think you need more time to come to conclusion about what Phase 2 is doing for you. |

You may be correct, Julie, as to needing more time. I just purchased my second 200 capsule bottle of Phase 2 an hour ago. I'm going to give it another month or so. |
