Question:
After first 4 months do you ever lose more then 1-2lbs. a wk again.

I have lost 80lbs. in the first four months, (honeymoon period). Now I am really working hard to lose 1-2 lbs. a week. I still log my water intake, get my protien in, and exercise. I was hoping that by exercising more, maybe I would jump start the wt. lose again, like 4-6lbs. a week but one week of busting my *ss got the same 2lb. result. So, do I stick with moderation, and lose my last 52 lbs., 2 lbs. a week for the next 25 weeks?    — K B. (posted on May 4, 2003)

Kathleen, more than likely, even alot more of that "extra push" you will probably still lose 2lbs. a month, but it could be more. I was a lightweight and lost 30 my first month, then 10 each additional, so it average to a little over 2 per week. As your body has less to lose, it doesn't lose as fast, not sure exactly why, just the way it goes. But you're more than halfway there- congrats! You could lose 10 a month, then be at goal within 5 months, or it could be a little slower, but it is still very good. Stick with what you are doing, it will eventually come off- you just don't want to overwork yourself to a point where it gets boring and then you don't want to do it all, know what I mean? Goodluck to you!

I am 6 1/2 months post and I now tend to lose in chunks. I'll lose 1 pound two weeks in a row then lose 4 the following week, then 2 the last week. It's strange. I guess we all lose differently, but I'll take the loss however it comes!

I didn't lose a pound from 6 months to 8 months and then lost 29 pounds in a month. You will probably lose in spurts now as your body tries to catch up with your weight loss.
