Your BMI is really low to begin with and when that's the case, this is VERY normal ;>)

You say "only"...as if losing 34 pounds in 8 weeks was a horrible, awful, terrible thing. I started at 274, 5'7" and had lost 38 pounds at 8 weeks. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged...it will keep coming off.

You're a lightweight, so you are going to be losing more slowly than others, just the way it goes unfortunately. I was similar to you, I weighed 250 and am 5'2". I lost pretty much the same at your point and I still made it to my goal (130) within a year, so don't get frustrated, it will happen. And good for you for getting 65 grams of protein in a day already! It took me months to be able to do that, so keep it up! And your water intake is great as well. You're doing well, so the weight will come off. Goodluck to you!

I just read your profile, and you seem to be losing consistently. That's a good thing! It's frustrating to see other people lose more faster, but the more a person has to lose the faster it comes off. So... those of us on the lower end of the scale lose it slower. At least we're losers! Hey... never thought I'd say I'm a loser like it's a GOOD thing... LOL!
