Why do we do this? I've just read at least 2 threads about losing weight quickly and there are so many posts about not losing weight fast enough - the phrase "only a pound" crops up a lot on here along with "which plan do I lose quickest on"
I just wonder why we want the weight to fall off in no time at all? Did we put the weight on at a rate of 3-4lb a week? No, I don't think so. At a guess our weight crept on, over the years, at a steady 1lb a week maybe so is it not right that we should expect to lose only a pound a week?
No plan works faster than any other, they all work well, just different for different people and it's about finding out what is right for you.
SW is not a quick fix, the weight doesn't just fall off - it takes time, a long time, but it's a life changing thing.
Just don't rush it, if you follow any plan the weight will come off - slowly and steadily is best.
Enjoy the weight loss journey - it's not easy but it's so worth it in the end.
