Its really nice to read everyone supporting moderation and accepting that weightloss takes time. Fast results don't last. They say that you have to keep weight off for 3 years to guarentee you won't gain it back, because by then your body has adjusted to your real long term habits, not the 6 week fasts. I just took 3 years to lose 15 lbs instead and I will admit that it took some battling and was frustrating to fight against all the mainstream assumptions that I should be able to lose 5-10 lbs in a few weeks. Think health, not weight loss. Your body will come along for the ride and figure it out too You all are great. Keep it up.
