Let's Do Lunch Community

I have been on LDL for almost 2 weeks and have only lost about a pound to one and half pounds so far. This is very discouraging to me. I will say that before LDL I was trying Weight Watchers, and my eating was very limited. I stayed hungry a lot of the time as I wasn't getting enough to eat. I also wasn't losing weight as I would get so hungry from not eating that I would give in and eat too much of the wrong things. Now on the LDL program I feel sure I am eating too much of the allowed foods. I am amazed that I am not gaining weight from all this food that I'm not use to. I am definitely eating more food on LDL than I was before I found this program. I read somewhere on this board where you, Roger, advised someone that if they were eating more food now than they were before they started LDL that it would take longer for the weight to start dropping.

Can you give me any insight as to what I need to do and how long do you think it will take for the weight to start coming off if I continue to eat the way I have for the last two weeks?

Thanks for your help. This board is a blessing to me. You, Roger, are a blessing to me as well as to others. I am not losing, but I am not going to give up on this program as I am eating well and not going hungry like before LDL.

And God bless you, Roger Troy. I really, really appreciate you offering to help me by taking a look at what I eat each day. This morning my weight was up over 2 pounds, which put me at a slight weight gain from when I started two weeks ago tomorrow. It is really hard for me to break the old habit of getting on my scales every morning, but I promise I will try.

I have been writing down what I eat each day for over two years and am still doing that, so I will start today reporting to you what I have been eating. It may be later in the evening each day before I send you an email.

Thanks again, Roger Troy. What a bonus from buying your book and loving the program. BettyBoop

Betty, You have been such a positive source of encouragement for me...I know God will bless you soon....If you were able to lose 40 lbs on other programs prior to this I know LDL will shed the pounds for you in a very healthy way!
Hang tough and relax...Thanks for all of the kindness you have shown me!!

Thank you, ANG, for those kinds words. You, too, have been a big sourse of encouragement for me. I think it's just that I am eating so differently than I have ever done before that it's taking a while to start on a downward swing. I have prayed to God to help me lose the weight, and I feel that just maybe this is the answer to my prayer.
