I'm not a tax lawyer yet, I'm a law school student. If I'm able to accept the job, then I'll be a tax lawyer. Glad you had a good day yesterday. I have moral qualms about Chick Fil A, but they do make a good chicken sandwich.

On the subject of chicken sandwiches I wish I could eat I finally lost a fucking pound. Well, a pound and a half. I've been losing weight for a while, but have been stuck for like three weeks, so good to see some progress. Typically, I'll lose about 5 pounds in a week, then nothing for like a month, so hopefully a few more will come off before the next plateau.

Oooh okay - congrats regardless! I dont miss being a student anymore lol.

I'm gonna be losing more weight soon.

Easter lent starts soon and as a Syrian Orthodox Christian (I think mine is gonna be a bit earlier) - its gonna be for 50 days.

Though to be honest, I kind of limited myself from eating meat on week/workdays (only meat consumption on off/holidays and weekends).

5 pounds in a week seems like a lot. A full week for me if I dont end up eating out or going somewhere crazy on Sat/Sun would net me a loss of 2 pounds a week.

I try to limit myself to around 1,700 to 1,800 calories and have eliminated a lot of stuff that has high cholestrol (i.e. Dairy Milk, meat, etc).

5 pounds was my average weekly drop when I started a weight loss routine, for the first two months. Though, I have to point out, I was put in 1300-1400 calorie diet. As I settled down, 2-.2.5 kg became 1.5 and then 1 in the final couple of months. 

Just to be clear, I don't expect to lose 5 pounds in a week. Even with a starvation diet I don't think I would. But, I feel sort of like I've "saved up" weight loss. Your weight is going to fluctuate based on things like sodium (and I do have a high sodium diet). So I feel like even though my weight has stayed the same over the past few weeks, I have actually lost weight, it just hasn't showed up on the scale yet. So, I'm hoping it's sort of all going to hit at ones.
