Slow but steady loss is ok with me
Although I lost the first 50 pounds at a pace I was happy with (about 2 pounds a week) I have long since become a serious turtle (now averaging about three pounds a month). I've tried lots of things to pick up the pace, but I haven't been able to boost it very much. And recently I have come to terms with the way things are. I continue to notice improvements in my appearance and stamina even with my small recent losses. I'm so relieved to be more comfortable in the world (seat belts, chairs, etc.). I eat a varied LC diet and I don't feel deprived or obsessed with food. I'm exercising regularly and enjoy weight training in particular.
So I'm here to say that it is ok to lose slowly! I recommend keeping track on a monthly basis if you feel you are a turtle. My weight fluctates by a few pounds every week, and I need about a month to see the downward trend.
