    That's a little aggressive of a loss. I would aim a bit lower (2 lbs/week) to avoid disappointment. Also, weight loss tends to not be linear.

    I've dropped 38 pounds since my last Dr visit in June. So it can be done, but it is a tough road. Never been a fan of dieting, however my A1C just got to high and realized that I needed to do something before I started to have eye issues etc. So that was the turning point for me. My A1C went from 6.9 to 6.0 since June and am very anxious for my next dr's appointment at the end of the month.

    Just keep telling yourself that it is worth every effort to get back to a healthy weight level. Just remember not to "starve" yourself as that will cause other issues. Eat healthy and well-balanced... just watch your portion sizes and get active. I wish you all the best...
