You want to lose 103# in SIX MONTHS??? That's not very reasonable... that's an average of 4#, EVERY week. At 2# a week (and that's a good loss when you're well into your weight loss effort) you're talking 51.5 weeks to lose 103#. A year is far more reasonable goal to lose over a hundred pounds since there will be weeks when you don't lose anything at all.

I just worry that you're setting yourself up for disappointment... that could lead to discouragement... that could lead to quitting. You're just one week into this and you're already worried about your rate of loss and looking for what might be slowing you down. Not a good sign for long term weight loss.

Stuff to think about...
