		<description>Love the site, so glad you are doing it. Big fan from way back. :) Anyway, I definitely hear you about losing weight fast in the beginning. It&#039;s unnerving. It&#039;s unbalancing. It&#039;s uncomfortable and, fortunately for us, generally unsustainable. Things should taper off soon enough and you&#039;ll figure out a good balance for your life of eating all your points, making healthy food choices within those points, and all of that. Hang in there! I look forward to checking back in.</description>

		<description>I know alot of peopel, myself included, that had the same isse with losing so much in the beginning.  I brought it up once and what I was told was that most of the first weight comes off so quick because you have eliminated alot of empty calories in your diet (i.e. cokes, etc.) and are drinking more water.

After that first 5 pounds, mine tapered off to like 2 pounds per week.

HTH!!</description>
