How about those people on "Biggest Loser", who are losing 10 or 15 lbs a WEEK!?!
I think I recall you saying some time ago that your weight had been fluctuating between 20 - 50 lbs over the last year, so losing this much weight in relatively short period is probably within "your" normal.
I'm not sure if you are 6'2" (walked head first into that already today


), but ASSuming you are just average height for a woman, 249 lbs may be close to double your ideal weight. The more you have to lose, the faster the pounds
can drop off. Once you get down to say 150 lbs though, you might find it is much harder to drop big numbers in a short period.
Congratulations on a very big accomplishment though, Erin!
