5th generation weight loss

[Shannon]

I just recently had a friend come to my house who is using the program, and she had seen weight loss for a couple months and then stalled for long enough that I gave up hope. She was stuck at 205-210, mostly 207. I noticed that she looked to be losing weight, and I mentioned to her that she should weigh herself. Her response was that scales lie, my scale is wrong, anything to avoid weighing herself. I laughed and demonstrated that my scale is so accurate that you can see the difference in taking off your belt. So she stepped on, and to her delight, she was at 200.6 for the first time in I believe she said six years. She was thrilled, but confused because she "hadn't been doing anything different..." her exercise regimen was the same as before. She had not weighed herself in three weeks.

The point of telling you this is that my observations on the matter have been that WL6 works like a solvent. It causes weight loss until it finds an issue, and then it works on and dissolves that issue, and then it continues to cause weight loss until it finds another issue, and it does it again.

When it is in "weight loss mode", it causes weight loss of 1-3 pounds a week. When it's in "resolve the issues that prevent weight loss mode", it will usually result in 0-1 pounds of weight loss per week. It's always working. Just has to overcome those issues, and they can only be resolved at the speed at which you are able to resolve them.

So far only one person has stopped losing weight and not made further progress, while continually using it. He's one of my two most resistant testers. Even the other one of my two most resistant testers is getting results, she contacts me regularly now to tell me how amazing it is that she now does the things she does because this behavior is so alien for her. Over time, it is becoming more and more normal, natural and automatic, though, and it is replacing her old reality with this new one, which is resulting in automatic weight loss.

Weighing yourself all the time leads to issues because you set up hopes and expectations which result in anxiety, which does not help with weight loss. Anxiety usually results in weight gain, and that results in disappointment and fear, which can also trigger weight gain responses.

So I suggest you weigh yourself between 1 and 4 times a month, and other than that, don't worry about it. In fact, don't worry about it regardless. Just weigh yourself impartially, record your results in a journal, and let the program do it's thing.
