Even when you have a lot to lose, not everyone loses 30-34 pounds in the first round. it depends on your age, your muscle mass and metabolism. Some only lose 20 pounds a round. You have to keep the goal in sight and keep plugging along. You've done very well though. you have great advice and the only reason I'm jumping in is that you said you are hungry. That's not okay so that needs to be fixed. If you haven't done a skip day yet, do one tomorrow and let us know how you feel by late afternoon. Your dose may need lowered a bit.
