LG - you are making good progress as 30 pounds lost in 5 months is excellent. We all lose weight at different paces and different intervals. A saying I have for these situations applies: "Don't sweat the small stuff." Just stay consistent with what you've been doing. You're correct, losing 10 pounds in 2 weeks is unrealistic, but you can definitely progress. Sometimes, lots of weight disappears, but knowing that you are losing following the WOE you've chosen should keep your head in the game. Stay focused and enjoy the journey!
