Hi Adriana,

My name is Mary. I am sure you will enjoy this site. Congradulations 21lbs in 4 weeks is very good. What's your goal?

Congratulations

In the beginning the weight drops fast, you've got a great start!

Keep it up....20 lbs a month is a bit much for future expectations.

My numbers on the bottom are:

You can do what you please, welcome to this forum and to bandland!

I second Vera's caution about the quickness of weightloss. Please do not set yourself up for disappointment by thinking you will continue to lose 20 pounds a month. I'm not saying it's not possible, I'm just saying it is unlikely. But fast or slow, you will end up where you want to be. The journey is more important than the destination!
