Rich, come on over to the Men's board and take the weekly Buckeye challenge.....sorry ladies men only http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/postdetail/11712.html?vc=0

Rich, you are doing fantastic. How much did you expext to lose a week? Relax and enjoy the ride. Time flies during this and whatever you lose is great. Cindy

C'mon, Rich....70lbs in 3 mos???? That's awesome! I'm 4.5 mos out and down only 64 lbs. I'm doing the 3 lbs a week thing, but while that has been happening, my body shape has been changing drastically. I've dropped two sizes during this phase. I look at it this way....as long as the numbers go down, I won't complain. Make sure you're getting enough protein and calories. Believe it or not, if you don't get enough calories, your body will slow it's metabolism and fight back on shedding fat. Use fitday.com to help you calculate. With my DS, I have a 100g daily protein goal, and I feel like I'm always eating to accomplish this.
