i lost 1 pound 1 frikkin pound!
i thought in the first week people were supposed to do really well but 1lb is just blahhhhhh. i know that a loss is still a loss but i feel so deflated about it all.
it would take me 84 weeks to get to the weight i want just feel pooey

I lost 1lb in my first week too. 1 year on I've lost 2 stone and yeah, that's slow compared to other people (a friend of mine has lost 2 1/2 stone in 10 months) it's still off and I've kept it off, despite a hectic year of weddings and parties/hen dos.

So it doesn't matter how slow it comes off, the main thing its going in the right direction

Lost 1lb after busting my ass my first wk. Was really disappointed too. Then after 3 wks the losses grew even though I was eating the same goods. I think it takes ur body a few wks to adjust

My losses have got better as weeks come

It's funny how a pound feels a lot heavier if it goes on compared to if it comes off, but the main thing to remember is that it has come off and that you have made a commitment to change. As Anniek says it can take some time for the body to adjust we are all different, and as my Step-Dad told me recently, our bodies don't run in seven day cycles.

I know it is a disappointment when you expecting more but look at things in the long term, 84 weeks is only just over a year and a half so if you keep losing a pound a week you'll be at target by summer 2013, and feeling a whole load better by Summer 2012! Think about how different that would be if you gained 1 pound a week between now and then.

I hope you are feeling a bit better and keep on keeping on!
