mscasanova, Hi there...reading this post is like reading a story of my life. LOL. I started on 11/11, lost 7 lbs the 1st week, lost on 2 the 2nd, and had TOM.
Personally my weight always fluctuates for like 10 days around my TOM, so I'm trying not to worry about it. You will also loose a lot of water weight initially, and losing 1-2 lbs a week is great and healthy. This is so much better than 4 wks ago when I was working out and not losing any.
Also if you are working out with weights you will lose fat and gain muscle (which weighs more than fat) but you will lose inches not lbs.
Since we are in the same boat, you might not place any value to what I am say, but I know that even with only 9.8 lbs gone in 2 wks, pants that used to squeeze the life out of me are a little loser today and that's what matters.
It's not just 9 lbs lost...IT'S 9lbs LOST FOR GOOD!!!!
I didn't gain 60 lbs over night, I can't lose it over night.
