Is it true

that the first ten pounds is the hardest to lose?

I only asked because it has taken me 7 almost 8 weeks to lose 7 1/2 lbs.  Maybe it's me.  LOL!

Sounds to me like you're right on schedule!  About a pound a week.  Since I've started four weeks ago (I've only been on CC for a little over a week, but started my final attept at losing this weight the day after Valentine's Day...and I say final attempt because it's gonna WORK this time!) I've lost 4 pounds.  It FEELS like forever because like me, you're probably busting your tush trying to change old habits, eat healthy, make sure you're burning more than you're eating...But 7 - 8 pounds is just as many weeks is pretty fast weight loss!!  Congratulations!
