When you get your diet in line, you'll be seeing a 1-2 pound a week drop on average. That's healthy, more than 2 is not. Don't try to get in a hurry and ruin your hard work. Stay focused and you'll do fine. -------------- Hungry and mean!

Even though it is only two pounds it feels like 20 to me because I am just eating better and dont feel like I am straving myself. I wasnt suppose to weight myself until tomorrow but couldnt resist. Lonegirl to answer your questions I will be checking my measurements tomorrow because I am also kepting track of that too. Hips, stomach, waist, arms, and thighs.
