Lisa, where did you get the 5% a month approximately after induction? I've not heard that figure before and I'm hoping its WAY wrong!!!! If that is true, it will take me almost two years to lose the remaining 58 lbs. I am trying to lose. I figured a year all told would have me hovering near goal. I don't mind slow, but come on....less than 3 lbs. a month would be a turtle. Even Dr. A's turtle (the lady he described in DANDR as a turtle) lost faster than that...I think she lost around 4 lbs. a month or something like that and took 24 months to lose around 120 lbs. or so. I
don' t have the book in front of me so I don't recall her stats exactly, but even so I'm pretty sure that 5% a month can't be right for your average loser.
