I am feeling so down about everything. I have been on phen for 2 weeks now and my sw me as 7lbs less then when I started. I feel like I can't do anything right ! I'm trying so hard I eat under 1000 cals a day I workout for 30m 2 times aday. I also seen my ex with a new woman tonight and that didn't help me at all ! Why can't I be one of the people that r loseing 15lbs or more the first 2 or 3 weeks ? What am I doing wrong ?? I feel like I have felled everything and everyone in my life. I ask myself can I do this ?? I just don't know !! Sorry for the sad talk I just feel worthless !!

YES YOU CAN DO IT !!!

By the sounds of it, you are actually doing really great for the short time you have been on. Those "people" you hear about that lose 15lbs or more in the first few weeks are few and far between. You are more of the norm, however, I would have given anything to lose that in your time frame. It took me a month to lose 7lbs, and to tell you the thruth, I was pretty excited about that number. Don't be so down on yourself. You have made the first step in starting a new program, eating healthy and this time it WILL happen for you !!! Just stay strong and remember you will have bad days, but just pick yourself up and dive right back in !!!

Woah woah woah lady!

7lbs is a fantastic achievement! I lost the same in my first 2 weeks and by the end of that month had lost a total of 16lbs. You are doing marvelously!

Yes some people do lose more quicker but generally those are people with more to lose. The heavier you are the quicker it falls off generally. Of course everyone is different.

The good news is that the slower you lose it the better it stays off. Also if you've worked harder to get where you are yu'll be less likely to cave in and give up.

You should be really REALLY proud of what you've lost! I know I am xx

Hello...sounds like sumone needs sum encouragement and support! First off, 7lbs in 2 weeks is actually above average seeing that most people only lose 1-3lbs a week. So your obviously doing EVERYTHING right! By the end of my first month I lost 17lbs...each lb adds up and at least you are not gaining!! It's impossible to drop 20lbs in a couple days..(well safely)...the slower it comes off the longer and better it will stay off! Even though you sad and heartbroken you seem totally dedicated. I'm not sure if that lil baby in your pic is yours...but I'm sure she's totally proud of you! Your getting healthy...your body is reacting and showing you results..your efforts are paying off...you being a good role model..your heart...lungs..everything is getting healthier! Everyone has their bad days..believe I just posted a thread about 1-2 weeks ago if ya wanna find it...ha ha. But, just stick it out and I promise you'll be celebrating with a huge grin on your face later! Best wishes to you sweetie!

It sounds like you are doing great! I lost 11 pounds my first week and I though wow at this rate I will lose it in no time! well It did slow down for me too i was down to 3 pounds every two weeks. It took me along time to notice the loss. That was in june. It is now November and I have lost a total of 49 pounds and WOW can I see the difference. I was a size 24 and now I am a size 16 and even some 14's!!!

Honey you can do it!! one thing I have learned you have to eat your 1200 calories a day and eat your exercise calories. If you work off 500 calories you need to add an extra healthy 500 calories to your diet.
