I’m four pounds down now in my weight loss journey. Pretty good start for the first week of the year. I just have to keep the momentum going, and stay focused so I can reach my goals.

I hope to lose a pretty good amount this first month, because I figure my weight loss will slow down after that. Whenever I’ve tried to lose weight before I averaged 2-3 pounds a month, so I expect the rate to slow considerably soon.

Do you lose quickly or slowly when you diet? If you lose slowly, does it make sticking with the plan hard? I know it does for me. My friends will talk of losing five pounds a week each and every week, and sometimes I let my slow weight loss get to me. I have to learn to control that impulse, and be thankful for whatever amount I do lose. Anything is better than nothing!

Good luck to all the others out there trying to lose weight and get healthy!
