    14 lbs in a month is very, very fast. Don't expect that every month - it will slow down as you get smaller. 16 1/2 inches is amazing! Good for you!

    Right.. that is really not "slow and steady" lol.. It is very quick to lose 16 pounds in one month. I've lost about 35 now in 2 months.. but it is slowing down pretty good now.. but now it is "Slow and steady"

    Thank You so much everyone! I want to take my time doing this as I want to make my changes permanent. The weight to me is not as important to me as inches, size and my health. What I need to do is learn what works best for me, as I may need to eat more. I have been sticking to 1200 calories, eating clean, as I dont eat carbs, only from veggies and fruit. Itry not to eat anything processed. But am working out 4xs a week doing kick boxing comparible workouts. This week I did 5xs as well as walking so I think this may be my issue that I need to be eating more. But along this very hard journey of retraining myself, I also need to really know my body as I change it into something new! But along the way the inches are falling off. But I am working really hard to make them continue to do that.

    I have changed my eating habits to a clean life style. I believe my body does not do well with Carbs so I removed the. No rice, pasta, potatoes, or bread. I have found substitutes. I really it fresh whole food and Meat.

    Im sure from here will be slower. My first week I'm sure was 90% water, which is majority of what I have lost. I am working hard and will continue to work and push even harder!
