well hello there. I am doing all the good today. I had a bagel with low fat cheese for breakfast, a snack pack with cheese and turkey for lunch (and about 8 pretzel balls with dark chocolate but they were the size of the tip of your finger) and am having bean and cheese burritos for dinner. going well for me, how about everyone else? I keep saying how good it is to lose only 2 pounds a week but I have to say it is a little depressing. I thought your first 20 pounds was water and if that is true, I have a bit more water to lose, then what? will I lose actual pounds then or ?

Hi katy9617 that’s brilliant 2 lb a week is good going...

I would love to lose two per week!! I dont think all that is water. How much have you lost?? How long? It's taken me five and a half months to lose 17 pounds. I have been pretty strict too.

I have lost 11 pounds in 5 weeks. it is not bad and I feel like a moron for complaining. I just wish I could lose it overnight but I guess we all sort of wish that too. I keep reminding myself I gained it not overnight but maybe even 2 pounds a week. so you are right.. I am doing well I just need to give myself credit where credit is due.

That is very good!!! It seems to slow down after a bit. That was about the rate I did in the beginning but I am on meds that affect my cortisol and hormone levels. You couldn't do any better than that. I am impatient too. I hate to lose nearly twenty pounds and still be fat.

I think loss is different for each person. Those ball's sound nice. It's good to eat in control. X
