[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a vent. Starting January 1, I started detoxing - no alcohol, no sugar, no simple carbs. Most days I also fast from 7 pm - 11 am.

I started at 158 and am down to 152. I'd love to be below 140, but I think a reasonable goal for me is to stay between 140 - 143. I'm 5'7.

An average day looks like this....

Wake up. Have coffee with [b]sweetener[/b] and a splash of milk.

Eat something around 11 a.m. Sometimes 2 eggs w/ mushrooms and turkey smoked sausage, sometimes more lunch food -- [b]a can of soup[/b], cottage cheese and fruit, or dinner leftovers (meat like chicken or pork and some vegetables).

Dinner around 6 pm, usually meat and vegetables - salmon, chicken, pork, occasionally beef, and a vegetable on the side. Sometimes throughout the day I will also have a snack of fruit, a few nuts, or a Triple Zero yogurt.

As far as exercise, I get in 1.5 hours of cardio twice a week, get 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week, do strength/flexibility 2-3 times a week, or on a really light day will just walk a few miles. It's very rare I do absolutely no exercise.

I guess I hoped to lose it faster because I was eating pretty poorly late last year. I don't drink much, but I had gotten very sloppy with sweets and simple carbs and mid-day snacks.

Does this sound like an ok pace? Am I expecting too much?

OP how old are you? Maybe you were able to lose weight more quickly when you were younger (I feel like I was able to), so now losing 6 lbs in 3 weeks seems slow, but it's actually not! I highlighted only two points in your post - the artificial and the can of soup, just b/c I don't know what kind of soup it is. You could always substitute vegetables for the can of soup.
