Studies have shown that weight loss that occurs to quickly puts too much stress on the body and can cause subsequent damage to vital organs....I agree with this method of permanence...and, believe it. My heart IS in it. I work out six days a week, three of which involve weight lifting and resistance training. My calories are very regulated and I have strength and muscle tone now.

There are so many YOYO dieters in my life that I would like to take them to their own private island. 95% of those who lose weight will gain it back. Those are the facts. Raven, you are doing everything exactly right. Why screw up your metabolism by losing too quickly. Everyone wants a fast fix. Nobody thinks about the future when you hit your 40's and you see all the sun damage from your youth, diabetes, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and a 100 other medical problems because you haven't taken care of your health.
Screw the cutesy new clothes. Wear something comfortable that will tide you over until you reach your goals. Become a female Howard Hughes. Live in lounging PJ's and loose fitting jogging outfits. Both will tolerate weight gain and loss.
