I went to my dr. yesterday and talked with him about my weight loss
struggles because I had seen so many people who dropped so much
weight so quickly and I was so frustrated because I try to lose 5 lbs
a month and struggle with that some months.  So, I asked him what I
should do, and he really surprised me, he told me that a loss of 1 lb
a week is as fast as a person should lose if they want to keep it
off, at first I was confused, then he explained that taking it off
any faster and you may be losing more than fat, you may be losing
muscle.  Also, many times when you lose it fast, it is because you
are living in a way that you won't continue once the weight is off, I
know first hand that maintaining weight is equally as hard as losing,
gaining is the only easy thing to do.  So, it all made sense to me,
it also made me feel better at my slow loss.
Just wanted to share
btw, no sugar this week and a stronger committment to exercise, and I
am down a pound from last week!!
