Hi there dtermind..

Most medical people will tell you that a pound a week is a healthy weightloss. It's a fact of life...it's going to take time. And everyone of us is different, so really, the only way for you to find out how long it's going to take is for you to do it. The thing is......the time is going to pass anyway. Why not just get on with it and one day, you will wake up and realize that you are thin.

I know how you are feeling. If you read the beginning of my journal, you will see that I was anxious for ALL of the weight to fall off of me too. Fortunately, I found this forum and with the help of the folks here, I managed to stay with it. Here I am...going on 7 months of LCing and I've lost 49 pounds. That works out to an average of 7 pounds a month, but I've had weeks go by with no loss and I've also had weeks where I had a bigger loss. But it all averages out.

Hang in there and give it time. Two important qualities in successful LCers are patience and perseverence.
