Well done to all the Tuesday weighers, I've just read the last few pages of posts since I last posted!
Don't be disheartened if you 'only' lost 0.5-2lbs this week. Losing 1-2 pounds a week is what's considered a healthy rate so don't be so hard on yourselves!
As for syns, many weeks I have 0 all week (and that's an honest 0!) yet I still average losing 1.5-2.5lbs each week! PLEASE don't be disheartened!
What I find helps when I feel that way is to look at a picture I found online of 1lb of fat! I can't post as I don't have the priviledges yet. It's a photo of a mug with a pound of fat overflowing slightly out of it. So those week where I've lost half a pound I picture that and think I've lost half a mug of fat from my body and it helps!
Or say yesterday when I was getting annoyed at how slow weight loss is. I pictured 14.5 mugs of fat and thought about how heavy that would be to carry around all day and suddenly I felt lighter and more motivated to carry on!
We'll all get there at the pace which is best for us
Have a great week all!! xxxxxxxx
