Reply from Claire, Age 19 - 10/22/08 - IP#: 64.131.205.xxx yeah it's usually easier when you start a diet because the weight just melts off but once you've lost a good deal of weight, the pounds just take longer to come off because you're not that fat anymore. Bigger people= faster weight loss. Smaller people= slower weight loss. Don't worry--it's frustrating for me as well, I feel like I'm doing everything but its taking forever for me to reach the 160's! just keep working at it, don't give up because once you give up..you'll just shoot right back up again! just focus...be patient..and eventually you will reach your goal. DON'T lose motivation. If you really want this, then motivation shouldn't be a problem. Don't think about it! just get up and do it! :)
