hi selina
yep, you are doing great already!
i think that you should be able to lose heaps by jan.
there are a few things that may affect the rate that you are losing the weight.
first of all if you are excersizing alot then then the muscles that replace that fat will weigh more and this may not translate as weight loss.
secondly if you have been low fatting for a long time then your body will need to repair itself. It will build muscles in place of fatcells which also may not reflect weight loss on the scale.
BUT.... even if the scale is not going down all that fast, your size will.
i have decided not to weigh myself at all because i was so disappointed after my first and second weigh in that i nearly gave up. But i have gone down a whole dress size and the inches are coming off at an incredible rate.
that is what counts with me, how small i look and how i feel, how much i am pressing against the earth is not really relevent.
If i give myself a weight figure to reach then i think that i am setting myself up to fail. I have to take it day by day, give my body what it needs to fix itself and then let it do the rest. I am hoping to be around 120 pounds (60kg) by august next year. I will weigh myself once a month and that is it! ( i have learnt my lesson) But that is just me, everyone is different and what works for me will not necessarily work for the next guy.
You do what is best for you, just dont let a little thing like numbers on a scale discourage you. Let how you feel be the judge.
just my 2c worth
