Hi Cynthia! I'll try to answer some of your questions.
Generally speaking, a person loses 10% of the weight they need to lose during Induction, then 5% per month afterward. The more you have to lose, the faster it comes off especially at first. When you get closer to goal, the weight loss slows down but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Weight loss can be enhanced by exercise, and of course you've already got the water thing figured. Unfortunately I don't really know any good exercises that don't hurt at least a little, LOL. One thing you might try is lifting 2- to 5-lb. dumbbells.
Here's hoping for the best for you! You're already doing terrifically.
