Hi everyone, since I started losing, I've lost around a stone, some weeks I was losing five pounds. But now I'm losing one or two pounds a week. I was hoping someone could give me some ideas on how to increase this again? I'm losing motivation.

    I wish I was losing that much still!!! But it's just your body adjusting. It's a healthy weight loss. At the beginning your body has no idea what the heck is going on, but once it figures things out a bit, then things slow down. Just keep going. You'll get there eventually!

    The initial weightloss is water weight. To lose 1 pound you need a deficit of 3500 calories. 1-2 pounds a week is actually a pretty good and fast weight loss. You didn't gain the weight overnight afterall.
