Okay, I'm doing things I should and am a bit impatient. When do the pounds stop dropping off?

    When you find a calorie deficit.

    It really depends on your body and what you are eating and how you are exercising. Wait a couple weeks before getting impatient. Remember that no one gains weight overnight and we can't expect to lose it overnight. Keep doing what you are doing and it will happen.

    Good luck and feel free to friend me if you'd like!

    I realize we live in a world of instant gratification nowadays, but you really need to give it time. Weight doesn't just magically poof away.

    If you're eating a calorie deficit, the weight will come off.
    If you've just started exercise, you may retain water, which could mask weight loss.

    Both take time to resolve.

    Patience, young grasshoppa.
