    8 pounds a month??? I wish!!! I'm lucky to average one pound per month these days!

    I'm in my 50's and have lost all my weight since Mar, with just an adjustment to my regular meals (no sweets now) and added an extra 3 days of exercise. I workout 6 days a week now. I also bought an inexpensive Biggest Loser kitchen scale and have a little better idea of portion control, was pretty good even without the scale though. I also eliminated all drinks and replaced them with water only, aside from my morning coffee with 2 % milk. You can do this!!!

    I'm in my 50's and have lost 37 lbs. in the last 17 weeks. I need to lose at least another 70. It will take a while but I am determined to get there. People of any age can do it. It just takes commitment.

    I'm in my 50's. I lost 22 lbs between Jan and June. I'm now down 28 lbs. and down to 122 at 5' 3".
    I'm also running 6 miles 3 times a week.

    My next step is to start strength training.

    When I am on plan, it's been about 0.5 lbs a week. I think it has to do with smaall people with less weight to lose have to go slower.

    Best of luck to everyone.
