    Congrats on your weight loss....Isnt 6lbs average weight loss? I see it as a reasonable amount to lose in 2months..Considering the 1-2lb a week theory...and not every week a pound will be lost so it seems like a job well done to me:flowerforyou:

    The less you have to lose, the longer it will take. That''s ok, because you need to be measuring and see where you are tightening up (if you are working out). THAT is the key to looking healthy and fit. You're doing great!

    that is our world -- LOL -- we want INSTANT gratification and INSTANT results, but you have much to be proud of, and the difference between doing it right over time and doing it quickly, is that you now have the lifestyle that will get it off and KEEP it off, so hopefully you never have to do extra anymore, just simply maintain. congrats on your accomplishment so far, and we all know you will see it to the end!

    Awwww thanks BFF! We'll have to go to Vegas together!!:drinker:

    I guess I'm just used to my "old younger metabolism" not this new 30 year old metabolism! :laugh: It used to be so easy to shed.

    I will enjoy Vegas this weekend being lighter. New bikini here I come!
