No, it is normal to lose 8 to 10 pbs in one month. I think that I can help you. I am from Hong Kong and I am a weight-control specialist.
please visit the following website, and you will find a lot of useful information and a lot of live examples of how we can help other people lose weight healthily. (The site is in Chinese now, but the English version will be out in a month).

(please, add "/shapeshake" after .com)
I myself lost 27 pounds in 3 months and I spent only a little money on it. I am coming over to Singapore in two weeks. If you happen to be residing in Singapore, I would like to share my experience with you. If you are not residing in Singapore, that is also fine as our products are available in all S. E. Asian countries now.
Please, do fill in the form at the website so that we can get to know more about your eating habits, your determination, etc, in order to help you further. If you don't know Chinese, just send me your email address so that I can send you the questionnaire in English instead.
Really hope to see you soon!
