    seems like you do lose weight faster in the beginning. Also, you must be eating alot less calories than you were before. Creating a large calorie deficit between meals and exercise will provide results. Great job.

    The first bit is usually water weight. I lost 6 lbs my first week. It blew my mind! After that, it evened out to a more sustainable loss rate (for me, about 1.5 lbs per week).

    That's awesome! You and I started at the same weight. You got me beat by 3pounds :smile: I was nervous thinking it was too fast. As well. Let's be accountable for another!

    I would love to join your group! I am a 52 yo mother of 3 boys ages 24, 21, and 12. I will be doing cardio and weight lifting 3 times a week each, and Ab Jam 6 times a week. I am also doing a 10 day diet which I will share if anyone is interested in doing it with me. You really don't need to cook if you don't want to and it consists of 6 meals a day, small portions of meat, veg, and fruit. Can't wait to hear from all of you.
