    What are your expectations for rate of loss and what are you losing a week? :)

    I ask because when I started I thought that it would go a lot faster than it did for me. It's a slow and somewhat long process full of really fun victories :)

    What do you do for exercise and what do you eat? This can make all the difference in the world.
    A healthy weightloss is usually slower, 1-2 lbs a week is the most that is recommended. Just make sure you're getting your calories for the day through nutritious foods, not packaged/processed stuff if possible, and keep up with the exercise.

    Fruits, veggies, and lean meats...........I live by those and I stay away from so, so many other things that I use to not even think twice about sticking in my mouth and eating it. It is amazing what a simple piece of candy can do to your daily intake. Here is a list of FAT BURNING FOODS......

    Apple cider vinegar
    Artichoke Cucumber Tomatoes
    Asparagus Dandelion and leaf Watermelon
    Beets Green tea
    Brussels sprouts Fennel
    Cabbage Horseradish
    Carrots Lettuce
    Cranberry Juice Oats
    These are a few things that I found on the net. I eat Brussels sprouts with my dinner quite often. The green tea, you can get the pomegranite and not even need a sweetener. Oats.... oatmeal for breakfast. Lettuce , tomatoes, cucumber, carrots..... there you have a salad....... watermelon.... nice snack. I put the vinegar on my spinach and salads. Horseradish... on your lean meat. You can just mix and match so many fat burning foods and it is so easy to fit quite a few of them in to your day. It works for me , anyway. Different things work for others. Hope this helps.

    When I first started I lost 18 lbs in the first month. I excercise 6 times a week. Most of it is walking. You might not be eating enough. Or you might not be eating enough good carbs. If you arent eating enough your body shuts down and what ever you put in your body stays there. Its called starvation mode. Im not even on a diet. I have cut my portions way back still eating what I want but a little healthier. I started three months ago and have lost 32.8 lbs so far. So diets arent always what the crack up to be.
