I have a question for those of you who have met their goal. Is the 10% of desired weight loss (during induction) and then 5% thereafter(each month following) the way it happened for most of you? If it is, then I am about to get really depressed. I've lost 8 lbs. in two weeks on induction, which I am very satisfied with. However, the prospect of it taking another 17 MONTHS to lose the remaning 52 lbs. is so depressing , it makes me want to cry. I want to lose 60 lbs. total, so 5% of 60=3 lbs.per month and 3lbs.x17months=51lbs. Am I calculating this correctly? Is this truly typical???!!!

I guess I need to add that I am doing The Firm cardio workout (55 minutes long) three times per week. It combines aerobics with periods of weight training and it kicks my butt! I was planning to save my taebo tapes for later when I hit a stall to shake things up. The advanced video is also an hour on that one. Will this speed the weight loss if I keep at it?

Someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease encourage me!!!
