Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 An article, that someone sent to one of these lists, says that it usually happens between four and six weeks out. It's a bit early for you, but it could happen. After all mine happened late, at around six or seven weeks out. LaWanda At 08:22 AM 6/13/05, you wrote: >Yep, I've lost 19.5 pounds so far.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Luckily mine does and warned me about them. That still didn't keep me from feeling as if I'd be the only one on the planet to lose only 25 pounds from this, but I hate to think how I'd have been if he, and others like you, hadn't told me this would happen.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 That is exactly what I thought (OMG I'm a failure). I'm glad it's a somewhat normal part of the whole process and that I'm not the only one. I did my 2nd water aerobics class tonight and it was a ball. I'm pooped! I'm doing another tomorrow at 9:00 am. Somehow, exercise is so much better in the water (I love to swim!). Thanks !
