Right now I'm satisfied with my progress. After reading comments in all of these forums and my own experience, I've decided that what I viewed as slow weight loss (1) wasn't really slow at all and (2) my body just needed to adjust. It now seems to be in a whole new mode. Unfortunately, I find that I'm hot! I thought I was rid of hot flashes, but frequently I get them again. No sweating, just hot. I read some other comments somewhere here about that, so I guess it isn't that unusual.
