Dear Bobby,
This is good that you are encouraged about your diet.

Don't think of the weight all at once. Think of it in bits and pieces (10% off, 10 pounds off, whatever helps.). And don't think of your final goal all the time. Remember that this is a process. You have started eating in new ways that you can do for a long time.

The amount of weight lost a week has to do with how much weight a person has in the beginning. I think a person might be able to keep up a rate of more than two pounds a week for several weeks or a month and then settle down to 1 to 2 pounds a week.
(I mean I'm giving an example here -- just as Ornish was -- this depends on a person's starting weight.)
You are doing fine.
