I'm on my 3rd go around. Two years ago, I had great loss during the 1st month, around 16lbs I think. Second time around, last year, I lost about 12 the 1st month. This time around has been much tougher, although I am exercising and losing - I'm even following a strict diet!! The first 2 weeks, I've lost 8lbs. Third week weigh-in is tomorrow morning and I've got my fingers crossed!!! I'm hoping for another 2lbs, especially after a 5 mile jog today. We'll see....

Hang in there, and watch how many cals you're eating. Between 1200 and 1700 would be okay. Exercise!!! Even if its a walk. A 3 to 4 mile walk is MUCH better than sitting around and eating/drinking water.
