I don't know if I'm a slow or fast looser. I don't really care. Surg 3-19-13 start at 237 now I'm at 188. Training now for a 10k run in the fall. Exercise is the main thing for me. I eat the way the Dr. says. And I exercise at least 3 days a week for no less than 30 min EVER!! Today I burned 378 cal. ALL cardio. My goal weight is 170. Oh and if I want something sweet I eat it. Not a lot but I eat it. It's all about moderation. "something I never even thought if before" I still battle the fat guy I use to be but I'm kicking his ass every time now! Good luck and DO NOT GIVE UP!
