Joyce,

I DO remember the amount of weight I lost. I don't want to be evasive, but you can't go by MY numbers. I started off at much higher weight than you (435), and I am a Male - which typically lose quicker than a female.

Remember a 10 pound lost to one person could be as affected as a 40 pound lost to another. Think of it this way: If a 400-pound person loses 40 pounds; a 300-pound person loses 30 pounds, a 200-pound person loses 20 pounds, and a 100-pound person loses 10 pounds – the 400-pound person didn’t necessarily loose more weight than the others. They all lost 10% of their body weight. 

Just remember, the typical AVERAGE weight-loss is suppose to be 1 to 2 pounds a week. Anything above that is gravy .. errrr .. PROTEIN drink.

I am here if/when you need. And proud of your success.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom
