Talking 14 lbs in 1st 5 days!

Ok, is this real? I weighed today at the doctor's offie and in roughly 5 days I LOST 14 pounds! I have lost a large amount of weight the first week of many diets before but never like THIS!

BACKGROUND(if you want to read): I too have been reading up through the book and this Board and a few others. They are really valuable and extremely useful. I am a 32 yr old female and I have 200 pounds to lose and this is the first time in my life I have ever even tried to watch carbs/sugars. TRUST ME I
have watched everything else in the world, calories, fat, points, and every diet you can imagine.

I was diagnosed with PCOS 8 yrs ago which has caused a slight insulin resistance, weight gain, and infertility (although been heavier than most--- most of my life). Then, there was no where near the research done with the insulin/carb connection. This WOE was rec to me by that Dr. and I have been reading like crazy since then (about 2 weks ago or so) and think this WOE
makes so much sense with the connection between insulin, weight, and hormones too. Especially when nobody could figure out why in the world I kept gaining weight when I DID NOT eat that much volume of food. In 2 weeks I also start taking metformin to control symptoms related to PCOS. He said the meds would increase the effects of this WOE, which is definitely a good thing.

Other than actually the physical weight on my body, I am pretty healthy. I am feeling great and not hungry at all, definitely not deprived of food. I need to exercise more for sure. I hope this WOE proves to be my downfall, in weight that is!!!! I know it won't go that fast for long, but I don't care just as long as it GOES!
