Yes five pounds is OKAY. However that means you need a calorie defecit of 17500! Which means very little eating, unless you are working out a lot.
17500/7= 2500 defecit/daily.
Did you calculate your BMR? Find BMR calculators online, it will tell you how much calories you burn everyday anyways...mine is about 1400 on top of that I exersize and burn another 1000 daily (yeah I'm kind of a gym nut which really helps speed up the process, but not nessicarily the only way to do so). Moderate exersize and balanced diet is the key to loosing weight fast. =)

Oh, thank you! ^-^ I'll try the calculatorsie ^-^
Heehee ^-^

Touché!
Really though, I have seen speaking styles and regional slang expressed here in type before, and no one has made such a stand. It's because (assuming that is how she actually speaks) she is mostly alone, it's not a "culture" of people who speak that way. If it was socio-economically concentrated by class or something, it would be considered a cultural artifact. Actually I don't know why I'm still contributing to this thread either - I guess I'm tired and feel like being hypothetical and pedantic about something? If anyone wants to discuss it further send me a pm.

Heaven help the forum - if we all used our regional dialects. I'm a geordie - and we are known to have an accent that is difficult to understand - a dialect that is worse and the strange compulsion to put the words "you know" several times in every sentence... you know.

I suggest that you read all the sticky threads in the different sections of the forum.
Key facts to take on board are
- that people tend to lose water at first - therefore in the first week or two of a project they seem to lose extra weight - but it is not fat that you are losing.
- you can enter your food and activity in and see your calorie balance which is the weight loss that you deserve.
- if you eat an extra 3,500 calories than you burn - 1 pound of fat is stored in your body
- if you eay 3,500 calories less than you burn - 1 pound of fat is lost from your body.
- you have to create a deficit of 7,000 calories to lose 2 pounds of fat - which means that you have to eat 1,000 calories a day less than you burn to lose 2 pounds of fat.
- one percent per week is a healthy rate of weight loss. To lose more weight than that you are probably depriving your body of many of the nutrients that you need. This covers the fact that bigger people can lose more i.e. 1 percent of a big number is bigger than 1 percent of a small number. You can safely lose 5 pounds of fat a week if you weigh 500 pounds - if not you are depriving your body of nutrients or it is water not fat that you are losing.
- since a lot of people weigh between 100 and 200 pounds - they think in terms of 1 to 2 pounds per week being safe.
- read the nutrition section to make sure that you are getting enough nutrients.

Cerise,
I will not respond to you when you won't write proper English. You're not a baby, I'm not a baby, and I don't respond to adults who baby talk. Period.
I'm really done with this thread and I'm blocking your posts because your insistence on talking like a 5 year old really irks me. If you really do talk like this in real life, complete with the -sies and the "heehees" then you must be a really annoying person to be around.

My husband is from Newcastle, so I know what you are talking about!
I just think it's interesting when individuals are held to standards that we do not hold groups to, if you see what I'm trying to say. If someone starts talking strangely on their own, we can tell them to stop it and grow up, and use proper language - but if one person did that a long time ago, and now 500 people do it, it's "interesting". Like with street/ebonics slang, geordie slang, or any other type of English-speaking regionalized way of speaking.
I know people from Morpeth who only speak in the plural - "He took us to our doctor's appointment" and it's just one person talking about herself, you know what I mean? I could refuse to speak to people who butcher the English language like that, but I would be considered the rude one.
I just think it's an interesting concept, I know this Cerise individual is probably a child, retarded, or in need of therapeutic intervention because of her excessive need for attention, I just think it's better to ignore the "accent" and move on.

In high school my best friend started to randomly use 'You know'. I have no idea where she picked it up, or why, but every sentence from her was 'Ya know, I really, ya know, like all of this stuff, ya know, but I just dont know if I want to, ya know, have it, ya know?'
Kind of like when I was a kid we all said 'He was like, really funny but like, I just like, dont like him like that, like ya know?'
Really surprised out English teachers resisted the urge to beat us.

Yeah, but dialects don't just happen because one person began speaking in a "strange" way and others decided to emulate it. Dialects ... things like AAV (African American Vernacular) and BEV (Black English Vernacular) developed over time due to a blending of languages and cultures, not because someone decided to start adding some odd suffix to every 4th word or whatever. BVE has a documented grammatical structure - even if most people who speak SE (Standard English) don't understand it.
L33t speak is an example of a vernacular that developed online over a period of time. Txt speak is another vernacular that developed over a fairly short period of time. Both are written rather than a spoken - but the same principle is there.
Even so there are understood social norms that exist to facilitate communication for everyone. I had a linguistics instructor who used to talk about the difference between tuxedo language and t-shirt language - in other words, the phrasing you'd use when you talk or write to your boss isn't the language you'd use when writing or talking to your best buddy. Understanding those norms and using them when appropriate is a sign of respect to your audience as well as showing a clear understanding of social appropriateness.
If the situation exists where everyone uses the same type of t-shirt language (say a message board where everyone adds -sie to the end of their words), then it's acceptable to do so there. To force others outside that environment to adapt to a non-standard way of speech/writing is rude and implies that the person doing so has issues with socialization.
It's not about conformity - it's about making sure that one is communicating clearly in a situation where the burden of understanding is placed on the communicatOR and not the reader/listener.
(Ok, sorry, I don't mean to be pedantic, but I'm an historian by education, and social history and anthropology were my fields of study. I took several years of linguistics in college and it's something that's always been a passion for me.)
