Amanda.....

I understand completely the desire to have All of the Weight Off NOW!! because I feel the same way. However....our bodies just don't work like that. It's a matter of evolution and the way that Mother Nature has taken care of us so that we wouldn't expire at the first sign of a famine.

The bottom line is that we really can't control how fast we are going to lose. The good news is that we can take charge of what passes our lips and tweak our LC plans to get the best results for each of us.

Reading through the journals of long term LCers will give you some inspiration to keep on keeping on. Though I've considered myself a very slow loser since the beginning, and in spite of several 3-6 week stalls, over the course of almost a year, I've lost 60+ pounds. (If you count in the muscle I've gained it's even more lost.)

And here is one more reason to be satisfied with weight loss being slow. Do you really want to lose fast and end up looking like this??????
