A tad disappointed

Hey everyone my name is Mel and I have three children 6.5 autistic and 3. For the past 10 years I've been overweight and finally decided to make time for me. I'm seeing all these weight loss stories and they are amazing! You guys keep me going seriously. I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and I feel I'm not loosing enough weight compared to most of you. I weighed in 12 days ago at 95.5 and started duromine 12 days ago and now weight 90.9. Should I be losing more?

Hello, Mel.
No, I don't think you should worry about your loss. Your numbers are great - gradual little loss at a time. You see, there is no perfect formula for losing weight. One person may lose 4kg during the 1st week, other one - nothing. Depends. So I keep saying: don't look at somebody's results.
This weight loss journey is a long story, so you should be strong and keep moving no matter what, because you will probably have your ups and downs...We all had.. Don't forget to drink water and exercise a little bit ;)
Have a great weekend!

Wow Mel. 4.6 kg that is great!
Most diet experts recommend 1% per week. So.. for you that would be about 1.9 kg over two weeks. You have smashed that.
Weight loss over time is the main thing. You need to be able to sustain. Even with a big loss in the beginning it all averages out and if you can stick with it you will do well. Many people will say that a big loss to begin with is a lot of water weight. I generally believe it is a good kick start.
My first few weeks looked like this -4.4 > -1.4 > -2.2 > -1.6 > +0.3 . And I started with an extra 20 kilos on you.
You are doing a fantastic job.
