    its funny cause i lost 5 pounds in the first few days, then it took me a week to lose the other 5. people say its the most noticeable in my face.

    and skip i lost 4 pounds playing ball on monday but my entire body was sore the day after so i took that out of my routine. getting in a defensive stance for 2 hours kills your legs and lower back.

    Good to hear you're getting results, but losing 10 pounds in just a week and a half is usually not a good sign. The ideal amount should be 2-4 pounds a week. People who lose that much weight so fast usually end up gaining it all back sometime down the road b/c their main strategy was to starve themselves, which is not something you'd want to do. When you starve yourself like that, there'll eventually come a time when you get back to your old eating habits and you'll lose all the progress you made.

    For long-term success you'll have to make healthy lifestyle changes, not just the quick fix (like crash dieting and starvation). Keep in mind that your body also needs nutrients to lose weight the healthy way, so you have to keep on eating. It took a long time for you to gain weight and it will also take you a long time to lose it, so be patient.
