I was three weeks out on Thursday, so three weeks and two days today, and I am down 17 lbs. So it is very similiar. I don't imagine I will lose huge amounts in the next five days. So, I am fine with it, I think there will be stalls here and there, but then you might be suprised when you step on the scale and it is three lbs less all of the sudden!

It also can depend on how overweight you are in the first place. My surgeon has told me to expect 1-2lbs per week, and you're averaging over 4lbs a week. Sounds like pretty good results to me. Keep positive and just keep following the guidelines.

yes what she said. One of my group members was below her cals and stalled. Her body went into starvation mode. She kicked them up to 800 and she was losing

17 pounds in 4 weeks is GREAT! How could you not be happy with that?
