So I have done the BFC for 9 weeks now. I have lost 22lbs so far and 5" off my waist and hips ea. My pants are much looser instead of skin tight. I feel great but no real weight loss this week. I keep seeing these Jenny Craig commercials with movie stars saying how they lost 36 lbs in 10 weeks blah blah blah and wonder why I am not losing it faster. I'm sure I am not alone in thinking this is slow. I'm sure it is because Jorge's book says you can lose between 4-9lbs a week doing his plan. It says so right on the front cover right?? So I guess that is what we expect.
So what should I do about it? I am not sure. I am not a workoutaholic. That is why we are doing it this way right? I love to walk very fast with my 2 dogs every day, but that’s about it. I know I should exercise more - but I've heard Jorge say if you try to exercise too much in the beginning, you will burn off too many calories and want to eat more. So I am kind of at a standoff in my own head. ha-ha!
I really don't mind eating less, I'm getting used to it now. And I don't know about you but - I am still having problems with constipation. Before I did this - I went every morning regular like clockwork.
I really like doing this. I feel like I am talking to a friend about my day.
Thanks for listening.... Please leave your comments.....
My thought for today: I am going to wish we will all wake up in the morning a pound lighter. Woo Hoo!
Keep on BFC ' n :-)

Your doing great! Hang in there! Are you getting enough fiber?
ReplyDeleteHey Rosalie! I am on week 2 of BFC! Lost 3 pounds in week one and hope for 3 more this week.
ReplyDeleteI am taking Amber's advice and trying to get in as much fiber as I can.
I enjoyed reading your blog! 22 pounds is fantastic and losing it slowly is the way to keep it off!
Hi Rosalie-I think you are going great-22 pounds is a lot!
ReplyDeleteI think it is so important to get lots of fibre (and lots of water to go along with it). I have been averaging 40 grams of fibre a day for a few weeks. It makes a big difference-and I feel better ,and my intestines are thanking me too lol!! Have you tried the bran crispbreads? They are full of fiber(5 grams each and only 12 calories each! I hate the way the book (and other books too) promote such an unrealistic weight loss on the cover-it is not realistic and not healthy-losing it slower is better for you and people seem to have an easier time keeping it off when they lose slower. Keep it up, you are doing great!!
