Congratulations on becoming a "Loser". You will have great sucess and experience so many positive life changing events as you begin your journey. Don't become discouraged if your weight loss slows down, believe me it will pick back up. Plateaus are common occurances, they give your body a chance to catch up the the changes. You will still be losing inches if not pounds during this restful stage, so don't panic. I am a slow loser, but a loser non the less.
