I know it is better to lose it slower and I dont expect to keep dropping big numbers. I'll be happy with 1-2 lbs a week. I dont want to just be skinny, I want to be healthy. What is weird is I'm actually eating more than I was before and I'm losing. Before I started this I would skip breakfast and eat lunch at 2:30 then a snack about 5:30 and that was it other than a couple of soda pops. I guess eating is kick starting my metabolism. But what ever it is I'm happy and so excited to be losing weight.
yes, your metabolism has increased. Eat more food that feed the muscle. (Banana is the first thing I think of...), the more muscle you have, more calories will be burned. And I think, at the first time, you don't lose any weight, even gain some ones. because the muscle's weight you gain is greater than the fat's weight you lose, but just keep on, in a long term, you will have a good metabolism and body composit.
