I am feeling really good about my progress thus far. I set myself a goal of 10lbs a month and, apart from a month long plateau, I have achieved that goal.... I am about to join a gym to increase my exercise (not been doing anything but walking so far) so that I don't lose momentum and keep losing at roughly the same rate.
I have a long way to go but am really heartened by the support on here. So - if anyone says its a young mans game DON'T BELIEVE THEM, I am approaching 65 and I will get to my goal in the end!!
Never give in, never surrender!!!! :bigsmile:

congratulations! that's a huge loss.
I've been here for one month and I lost 11 lbs, but the weight loss seems to have slowed down to almost nothing in the past week. I'm not sure if i'm eating too little, since I gain weight if I eat more.
can you tell me how many calories per day you eat?0 -
