Hi! Everyone is different and its best not to compare. There are many things that factor into how fast you lose weight. For example starting weight, age, excercise. So don't be hard on yourself and don't set up possible unrealistic expectations. Look more at how you are feeling? How are your clothes fitting? Are you able to do things that you couldn't 2 months ago? Let those things reinforce your success, not so much the number on the scale. If you are worried about slow weight loss sit down and evaluate what you are doing. Are you following the rules? How much protein and calories are you getting in? What kind of exercise are you doing and how often do you exercise? If you are doing a lot of high energy excercise you will have to especially make sure that you kick up your protein and your calories. If you aren't getting enough your body will hang on to that weight. Be proud of your weight loss. You are 33 pounds lighter than you were 2 months ago!
