Considering that most Dr.s recommend 3 lbs. every two weeks (w/o phen, of course) I'd say you're doing awesome!!!! For awhile, you could lose like a pound a day- I slowed down my second week so I counted my calories and it turned out I wasn't eating enough (700-800 instead of 1,000-1,200). Last week I stalled again- I took a look at what had changed- I wasn't drinking enough water & I'd slacked off on being active. Your weight loss will speed up and slow down. Don't get discouraged so quickly. I lost super-quick my first week, but I was super-big and super-sloth-like pre-phen. Make sure you drink enough water, eat (starvation will get you nowhere), and get active doing anything you enjoy doing. You're going to do great!!! I can't wait to hear from you in the coming weeks- you'll be shrinking in no time.
