Slow and steady wins the race?

Dropping a pound weekly on 2.5 is fantastic! Not sure where you started from, but keep at it, slow and steady tends to be the way to go since it's more likely to actually stick. None of this weight showed up overnight either.

2lbs weekly honestly sounds fast to me! Especially without supplement support. A gradual pace looks more like 2 lbs monthly. Over this past year I've personally lost 35lbs. That counts as gradual. Wouldn't dismiss rapid loss as a possible cause here.

I'm probably the slowest responder around, but honestly don't mind since the number keeps dropping regardless. Averaging roughly 1.5lbs monthly. Took three full years to shed 60lbs. Still got 20 more ahead of me.
