While I still have a long way to go, today marks 12 weeks and 60 pound lost using the ELLM method of lifestyle change. Still have not had a gain or a plateau as of yet. Im pleased and plan to continue on to reach the 164 pound weight loss goal.

    I worry, for myself, to get to 5lbs a week. I'd be afraid that would cause my skin to not snap back (as much as it can or will if I lose 2-3lbs a week).

    Also, to lose 5lbs a week, for myself, I'm thinking my calorie intake would be around 800. Been there once in HS, 5'7 and 115lbs. Not interested in being there again.

    You should be careful in disagreeing with this particular poster. They're a little... aggressive with people that disagree with them. Not quite to the point of wearing your skin but more of the "I will have you eliminated from the boards because you're rude!" kind of way.

    ELMM = Eat Less Move More.

    Portion control and working out now 4 days a week. Eating great food and burning 700 to 900 cals each day at the gym.

    Week 1. eat 2500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 2. eat 2500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 3. eat 2000 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 4. eat 2000 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 5. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 6. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 7. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 8. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 9. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 10. eat 1500 calories a day and work out 3 days a week.
    Week 11. eat 1400 calories a day and work out 4 days a week.
    Week 12. eat 1400 calories a day and work out 4 days a week.

    I have a lot to lose (164 pounds) and I understand it comes off fast at first but I am committed to reaching the goal and then maintaining. Im doing this under the guidance and supervision of a few folks including my PCP, a diabetes class I have been attending for the last twelve weeks and other support folks like a registered dietician. Im only taking a multi vit along with additional D and B12. No special foods (just less of it) and sweating a lot at the gym. Simple math, burn more calories than you take in. Kicking it old school.
