Understand that 12 lbs lost in 3 weeks is a lot and that you're likely to slow down soon. A healthy rate of weight loss in .5-2 lbs/week. I have wrestled with the same 3 lbs for about the past 3 months and lost 92.2 lbs at my highest rate of loss. It's been about 20 months. Losing weight is hard work no matter what program you do, and the more slowly you lose, the more likely you are to keep it off. Also, if you plan to keep it off, be prepared to keep doing what you do forever, which means you have to change your thinking about food if you're planning to keep the weight off, and that time to lose isn't important if you're doing it for the right reasons.


Good luck!
