So I've been seeing some pretty big losses on this site. It's great that people are being successful on their journeys, but I just wanted to highlight a couple of things. A healthy rate of weight loss is 1-2lbs per week. It may happen more quickly at the start, especially if the person has a lot of weight to lose, but if it slows down that's fine & normal. Rapid weight loss can cause gallstones. Not how I got them, but I'd highly recommend avoiding them where possible! The more slowly weight is lost, the more likely someone is to keep it off once they reach goal. Everyone's journey is unique, but I just wanted to raise these points in case they help anyone along the way. A x
