Cathy,
I actually think that 1/2 pound a week loss is ideal - It means making little changes in diet and exercise and I think those little changes are a LOT easier to hang on to for the long haul. It makes maintaining a lot easier!!! I don't think we can sustain the kinds of dietary changes that are required to lose 2-3 pounds per week which is why we just go back to the same old week. It is more satisfying to have big losses when we are dieting but finding a weight we can maintain is really the goal. Once I get to 140, I am going to work hard to stay there. See you in a couple of weeks for the Margarita ride. I can't wait! Went to SF yesterday to pick out stuff for new house. I love it. We made a good choice. Floors, cabintes and baths were in. Fun to see things progress.
