    Hmmm, I'm not sure it should come off any easier in the beginning if you are targeting fat. A lot of people lose water at first, and the numbers look good, but then they plateau. If you are eating your calories, and drinking lots of water, stick with it. It will pay off.:drinker:

    4lbs in 16 days is pretty much 2lbs a week! I know its not fun that it takes a while....but thats the healthy way to go! Just keep at it!

    You will get there...you didn't put it on over night...its not coming off that way either! You can do it!!! 4 lbs in 16 days is not that bad...that is acually good...that is just about the 2 lbs a week that MFP recommends you lose! So stick with it your doing great!

    Are you exercising a lot? It could be muscle gain?

    It's been over 3 months for me, and I've only lost 7lbs. If you weigh more, you lose weight faster to start out with, if you don't weigh as much, you wont lose as quickly. I tried switching up my food and exercise this week, hopefully that helps for me.
