Losing 1 lbs ...Any weight loss is good weight loss. Losing 1 lbs a week is something I would recommend if you want to keep it off. No more than 2 lbs per week. And because everyone loses weight differently be careful not to compare yourself with others,it will only make you feel like you're failing. Take me for example. It took me 6 weeks to lose 5 lbs. But instead of focusing on how long it took, I instead see that I met another 5 lbs weight loss goal, which leaves me with a feeling of success! I think you're doing just fine! Keep following your program, stay within your points and try for 30 minutes of exercise everyday!<br /><br />Also, running is a great way to loss weight, but it is stressful on the joints. I will be starting the C25K myself soon (I was suppose to start a month ago but I've been lazy). Get everything cleared with your Doc first and they will suggest ways to keep your ankle safe. Good luck! And keep us posted!Angry Fat Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235001418017724987noreply@blogger.com
