'Only' 1lb

[*Theresa*]

I celebrate every loss be that 1lb or 0.5lbs always have and always will in fact I started a thread back in February almost identical to this one

. . . She means no harm by it, but she gives me a lot of ribbing about being "teachers pet" and even posted a facebook status the other week saying that she has a really annoying cousin who always loses loads of weight and wins SOTW and how I should just stop and give other people a chance. . . .

"stop and give other people a chance" - that has to be one of the silliest things I ever heard!!

Hahahha. I know!!! I said "Ok, I'll have a week pigging out on cake, you go for it".

I didnt though

You cant moan about losing this every week!

Every loss is a good loss

I'm definitely not going to take my 1lb loses for granted after this! Having the visual just made me see actually how much I'm losing. Thank you

This is a great thread. I'm one of those people who is guilty of saying just a pound, or only half a pound etc I never mean to make anybody feel bad as any loss is fabulous and should be viewed as such! From now on I'm going to celebrate every loss! xx

Well I have just lost 3lbs after my first month weigh in. I am happy with that, I know big losses are more exciting but sustainable is what matters to me. I've been overweight for 30 years, so if it takes me 3 years to lose it, that's ok with me!

Yayyy, very well said as usual hun!! My average is not that much more than 1lb per week and I too am extremely proud of my total loss since starting in October!! Of course we're all elated when we have a 'great' loss, but I do wish some people would see the bigger picture which is that of a steady and sustainable loss and that this really isn't a race of any kind at all!! I've said it before and I'll say it again! I'd rather use you as a role model than the person who brags about losing 3 stone in 4 or 5 months only to fall off the wagon a little bit further down the line!!x
