Nice drop! Pat yourself on the back! Research supports l to 2 lbs weight loss a week is the healthiest way to lose. Most of us drop rather quickly at first, and then it slows down.  

a couple of lbs a week is great. Think about how much fat that really is.  

SLOW AND STEADY is the way to do it!!! GREAT JOB! 

Howdy...Can I ask you (and I assure you I ask very gently and sincerely) would you take even a 1 lb. loss for the next 75 weeks?...I think most of us on here probably would. May ALL of us find the determination and the patience to "keep on keeping on."  

And don't forget to celebrate ALL of your successes !!!! Even tho I don't always "remember" to finish my comments...lol 

Totally because it adds up over time! :) Thank you! 

As much as probably all of us would like the weight to just drop off quickly, it just doesn't happen like that and losing too fast isn't good. 2 lbs a week is a very healthy loss, shows your working hard, and is more sustainable in the long run. So great job! 

That's a nice weight loss, keep it up. 

yes a great way to look at it, 1 lb a week for a year. I would definitely take that…. 

2 lbs. is huge. Don't get used to it as you'll be disappointed.  

That's great! 2 lbs is fantastic! 

2 lbs lost is not slow, that's excellent! :) 

Excellent! 

Wonderful! Keep up the great work and have a great day! :) 

PERFECT! Its so frustrating when you are working so hard at it. But like the other posters said slow and steady is the only way to keep it off and do it healthy and think long term :)  

2lbs a week adds up in hurry. You can do it just keep pluggin away. I didn't look at your profile, just saw your post, so I don't know your specifics. That said, my doc is trying to get me to back off even the 2lbs / week. She says it is too dramatic a change. Regardless you CAN do this. Just keep on going. Don't let the minor setbacks and disappointments dissolve your resolve. 

Nicely done! 2 lbs a week is phenomenal!  

That's Great! 2 lbs is great! PLEASE DON'T THINK OTHERWISE. I slowed to a halt for 3 weeks stayed at the same weight until 1.5 pounds finally came off....I danced for days! You are fighting nature and nature wants to win...that 2 lbs is a major victory!  

That's great, keep up the good work. 2 pounds is amazing.  

2 lbs. per week is considered to be super fast weight loss. (anything faster is actually very bad for your body) Great job so far!
