What is our grace period?

This may sound crazy, but, on other boards I see postings about being in the "grace period" on losing weight. Does anyone have any info/comments on the subject? Most of us are only 3 months out. Should I be getting worried that I won't be losing soon? Mindy

Hi Mindy, Grace period, or Honeymoon period seems to vary from doctor to doctor. Some say 6 months some say up to 18 months. It varies from person to person as we are all individuals. This does NOT mean that we cannot lose weight anymore after this time, only that it will take more effort on our part. I think that my grace period was only a month! My first month was the only EASY month for me. Good Luck! Tracy

Thanks Tracy for the info! I really appreciate your input. I seem to be struggling now at 3 months. Yesterday it seemed like I grabbed a bite of something anytime I went by the kitchen for no reason. At least is wasn't the foods I used to grab! I'm trying to up my water intake today! Thanks again! Mindy

My doctor says we lose the most during the first 6 months. By 18 months it wil be much more difficult. I don't think you have to worry too much. It will come off if you work at it & allow your tool to do it's job. I believe most of us are doing just that. Dixie
