    I don't know if you're loosing too fast, but it sounds like you're losing just fine.

    I didn't have as much to lose but dropped 20 pounds in the first month just from diet change and exercise, then my weightloss stabilized. I wouldn't worry about it, if you are eating healthy an feeling healthy just keep on what you are doing, it's a marathon not a sprint.

    I rarely eat carbs or very few. Before this diet I would eat alot of bread and starchy foods now I hardly have any. The last piece of bread was saturday and sunday when my husband made my breakfast. I do love avocado will pick one up and have a slice or 2 with my meal as my "fat" I did buy a 64% less cal margarine but haven't yet tried it since I haven't made anything needing the margarine. Eat alot of fresh veggies and fruit.
    I know someone already said this above, but bread DOES have a lot of salt. It's not just your Mr. Noodles.

    I don't eat alot of bread will read the article and see what it says. I have increased my exercise from nothing to doing 30 minutes a day or more and eating right.

    30 minutes day of exercise does a ton of help. Just keep on doing what your doing when you hit a wall change it up then.

    Just make sure you get atleast 10 cups of water a day.

    I joined a week ago and have 136 lbs to loose. Tonight I weighed myself and I am down 13 lbs. I exercise 30 minutes a day I stay under my daily intake. I eat healthy and my fat content I keep 3 grams and under. Is it suspose to come off this fast when you are over 100 lbs overweight or will it eventually slow down? I am enjoying this plan so easy and I am not hungry feel satisfied. I don't have any sugar but if I do it isn't alot just enough to satisfy the craving. Anxious to hear what everyone things and do I need to add anything or take things away. Seems this is alot of a loss yet I am not hungry on this so I don't know.

    The first couple of lbs drop off fast when you make a drastic change to your diet. I lost 15 lbs or so in like 11 days ... Don't complain about it or worry about it.

    Now when you are bigger it also takes more energy (as in more calories burned) to do the exact same thing or lift the exact same weight or do the exact same anything ...as say someone who only has 20 lbs to lose.

    Welcome to MFP !!! Wish you luck on your lifestyle change
