Oh thank GOD! I thought I was alone. I started at 327 and am now at 290 which is where I've been for two weeks. I'm stepping my exercise routine up a little (I alternate btw the Biggest Loser work out and going to the YMCA). I am frustrated but I feel a whole lot better knowing I'm not alone. At my doctor's office they also said I wasn't eating enough so that was slowing down my metabolism. They told me to shoot for 800 calories a day. Up to that point I'd been getting about 4-500.

Well, having just returned from my 2 mos appt a couple of days ago and being told I am not eating nearly enough, I understand your frustration. I can eat more now and am starting to get closer to the caloric intake they want for me (800 a day they said. Have not achieved that yet but am getting close) and my protein intake (50g a day). I eat a lot eggs, peanut butter (on toast), chicken (soooo sick of chicken), tofu (usually in soups or substituted for chicken in dishes like stir fry), oatmeal, sometimes grits, a lot of soup, a crab cake (with very little filler), and of course my most hated protein shake. I think for me part of my problem is mental. I am very afraid of getting sick and am therefore afraid of food. After this appointment I resolved to try harder to get my calories in (in a good way of course) and have been getting better each day. If fish bothers you, put it off for a week. I lived on chicken soup for a good while there but that doesn't get you your protein. Do you supplement with a shake? You really should if you aren't getting in all your grams. Also, have you started exercising? I don't know why but since I've begun a vigorous exercise regimen I have been tolerating food much better. Good luck to you.

In 8 weeks I am down about 40 lbs. I think that it really depends on the weight you started at and how much exercise you are getting in.

at 8 weeks, i was down 35 lbs.

On average how much are people losing a month. I am at about 10 pounds a month as are most of my friends.
