Don't get discourged, I felt I lost weight very, very slow. I think I lost only 12 lbs the first month, after that I would lose 4 and gain 2. But in the end I lost all the weight I wanted in less then a year. Everyone loses differently. If you keep to the plan your Doc has for you, you will successed. Just remember you did this for you and you will be healthier, and feel better.
