I agree with Umpa, alex412... You're doing great! :) :) :)

When we lose (or gain) weight, our bodies go through many changes and adjustments besides scale weight.

We will often lose inches even when the scale is not moving much.
So, pay close attention to how your clothes are fitting.

If you stick to the FTS rules, you will feel them getting looser and looser. ;)
What you do today is what matters!

Congrats Alex412!  Isn't it wonderful how much better you feel eating this way??  Be sure to take some measurements.... that way if you do slow with the weight loss.... you will see that changes are still happening.  Even if it is just a string that you have knotted  ;)  You are doing so great!!  ;D ;D

Absolutely!  You are doing great!  That extra fat has no where else to do go but "bye-bye"!  Be sure to set up a journal and record measurements as well as weight.  I also keep a food journal and I can clearly see that my weight loss stalls immediately after eating too many carbs on any given day. (Like eating out at an Italian restaurant).  Everyone is eating pasta/pizza/bread and I am eating wings and salad.  That fresh bread is soooo hard to resist.  Oh well, I am doing what my body needs me to do.  You can do this, we're all here for you.   :) :)
