Let me preface by saying that I'm a senior citizen and female who was 60 lbs over and into the obese category at the start. It took me 90 days to drop the first 30 lbs., so just a bit over 2 lbs per week. My doctor told me to wait to start exercising until I lost some weight, so I didn't start with Fitbit until three months in. I have not been able to keep up the 2 lbs/week even with the added workouts. I attribute this to my age (old fat is more stubborn than young far <G>), I was more strict on my carb intake than I am as I intigrate more carbs (according to my doctor, carb intake tends to cause fluid retention), and thirdly, muscle weighs more than fat. Even though my current loss is 36 lbs. I have gone down three pant sizes. Do NOT give up. If an old gal like me can persevere, so can you. If your health allows it, try tweaking your diet. Lower your carbs while staying within your calorie range. Keep your Fitbit activity up so that you don't have to get your skin suit altered, PLUS, it's just so good for your joints and heart. Remember, exercise is good for you, but you cannot outrun your fork. Eating right is just as important.
