Very Important!: Weight loss is not instantaneous!
Contestants on the Biggest Loser end up losing weight seemingly quick. Remember, they are in a boot camp type setting, virtually separated from the "real" world. Plus, there is a money prize. They also have medical personnel standing-by just in case. For most people weight loss happens in the "real" world with many distractions, such as employment and family obligations.
I didn't have a money prize to keep me motivated!
I didn't have a medical team on stand-by!
Being unemployed, I did have time, though. Throughout my weight loss experience, I lost maybe a lb to 2 lbs a week. There were times I stuck to my plan and my weight would seem to get stuck. I had the hardest time getting under 170. I just kind of hit a plateau. Same thing when I reached 160. This is a frustrating and discouraging experience. However, I just stuck with my plan, and I finally broke through these numbers.
Why these plateaus? I don't know. I guess it was my body going through some physiological change I can't explain.
I'm guessing it's like adolescence in a way. Change happens in uneven ways and is different for everyone. Just keep going! And don't forget to pray!
