    ..and my husband and kids were so against it kept telling me I can do it on my own....

    As long as you know that you aren't (entirely) on your own. You need support, motivation, inspiration, recipes, whatever, it's a pretty safe bet that someone here will have what you need. We are so lucky to have this site!

    If you were a heavier person to begin with, then the weight should fly off you at the start. If you weight 360lb, then a 8lb loss is only 4.5% of your body mass. If you were however 120lb, that would be 15% of your body weight loss and thus your body would go into shock. Try to think of it as % of total body mass lost each week rather than X pounds etc - I'd say aim to lose at least 2% each week. You'll have much more accurate expectations then.
