But put in context... Still only three to five for the month. 😞 I'll probably gain it back tomorrow. But for now I'll take it. Interested in how many inches lost when I measure Wednesday.  

1/2 (.5) half a pound a week is healthy 

Try to care for a healthy eating diet, a lifelong one. not for lose weight🤯🤯🤯, lose weight 🤯🤯🤯🤯 lose weight diet 

1 pound a week is fine. That's only a 500 calorie deficit. 

I think .5-1 is ideal... and it’s how much I would lose a week  

My goal is 2# a week. At my size, I feel it's reasonable. When I get to 200, maybe I'll aim for 1.5 a week.  

just don't get upset if u don't lose 2 pounds, thats all I'm trying to say  

I hear ya... But I still like to see the scale move and the inches better be coming off too, but I only measure once a month. But upset or not, I won't give up.  

The Biggest Losers regain story isn’t entirely upbeat. Not when they packed back on an average of 90 pounds in six years. Their stories match what has been known about weight loss for more than 50 years—that the vast majority of individuals can't keep the weight off. University of Pennsylvania researcher Albert Stunkard began to show this in the 1950s. A key reason for weight regain is the decline in resting metabolic rate (RMR) that automatically follows a lower body weight. RMR accounts for roughly 70 percent of daily calorie burn, so as you lose weight, you have to eat less to maintain your weight. The new research report in Obesity focuses on RMR, particularly the fact that it often drops more than expected with weight loss. This is the damnable “metabolic adaptation” in the paper’s title, “Persistent Metabolic Adaptation 6 Years  

yes!  

just don't give up 

Nice drop!!!
