Hi Fruzsi,
I have been on this for roughly 6 weeks now and have lost a total of 12 lbs. It has been slow for me, but I must say it has been the easiest weight loss without constantly being famished. I can certainly understand your concerns, as I just spent 3 days in the hospital undergoing EKG’s, Echo and Catherization, as well as having a halter monitor for 48 hrs after being discharged, all of which had positive results.
While I only have an additional 15 lbs to reach my approved weight, others on this board have lost similar amounts in just one week.
Yes, you will feel better as you see the inches come off and drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water, 64 oz which is hard enough although more is recommended based on your weight. Add flavoring, lemon, lime, fresh herbs and/or stevia to make it easier. Keeping yourself hydrated will be very important as well as maintaining healthy nutrition. Definitely measure all foods, use a calorie tracker (I use the USDA website which is free) and prepare daily and weekly menus which will help you to stay on target.
The boards here have a variety of success stories, recommendations and inspiration to keep you going. Additionally you also have the Facebook site.
Good luck and keep your focus on your goal or take baby steps if easier – you will see results!
Linda
