People say I'm losing weight too fast?

I don't agree. 9.5 months is approximately 40 weeks. If you lost 125lbs/40 weeks that's about 3 pounds a week. It is a little higher than the recommended 2 pounds a week, but definitely not out of the realm of real possibility.

People sometimes have a hard time with change and that has everything to do with them and nothing to do with you. Don't let anyone pressure you into "slowing down," stopping, or gaining weight back.

As long as you are comfortable losing weight - not starving, exercising, etc. I'd say you're good to go.

This is about you, not anyone else.

I heard years ago 1% a week was totally "safe" and doable :-)...........

As long as you are getting your micro and macronutrients, screw 'em. Good job on the weight loss!

As long as you are eating good, have enough energy to do what you want, you should be good.
As you get closer to your goal weight the weight loss will slow down so ride the weight loss wave and enjoy it.

Girl they are just hating on you. I been in my program for 5 days and I have lost 8 lbs, with 50 more to go. I am being compulsive about my nutrition and workouts, so I know it is healthy loss. I think that when you are fatter, it comes off faster. As you slim down you lose it more slowly. You are doing great and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

No I dont think so, also the bigger you are the more it comes of faster or so it seems! As long as you are eating healthy and not starving yourself you are fine. Now if you are barely eating then I would say you better stop it now bc you will at sometime get hungry and over eat and then could gain it all back and more! Congrats! Seems you and I are about the same start weight and lost weight!

1-2lbs/ week is just a general guideline. If people were very overweight they could lose more, especially in the beginning. I've known people where 5lbs a week was normal to start with. Just as on the flip side, if someone was 150lbs & had only 10lbs to lose, 2lbs a week would obviously be too much too quickly. You seem to be doing well.

I think you are doing great, and you should be very proud of yourself! You look great!

My thoughts exactly. You're doing great and keep up the good work. Congratulations !

Heavier people lose it faster. The loss will probably slow down the closer you get to your goal. When you get really close, it will probably get extremely frustratingly slow. Screw what other people think. Everybody thinks they have the right to comment on women's bodies.....Too thin, too fat, losing too fast, gaining weight, letting herself go, just needs a tan, maybe if she dyed her hair.....etc.

I'm 4 and a half months pregnant and everyone feels compelled to note how HUGE this baby is going to be because my belly is already so big. That's me. When I'm pregnant, my belly pops out fast and I get really big fast. My body, my business! I'm just tired of all these posts where women especially are saying they get rude comments from family and friends concerning their weight loss. Usually it's where their friends and family are saying "you've gotten too thin, you need to gain some back" when they are a perfectly healthy BMI. Well, I'm not tired of the posts- I'm tired of the judgmental attitude of our society that makes it okay to keep a running commentary going on every other woman's body.

At your starting weight, you're fine. Those guidelines are more for people who don't have a lot to lose. My 45 pounds have come off in 85 days. That's 3.7 pounds per week. I started at 351 and am at 306 now. I've stuck to the same amount of calories the whole time, 2200, and will continue to do so unless I NEED to change.
