Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 Hi Gang! Just want to remind everyone that a loss is a loss! I hear so many people (some here and some on the WW website) say that they " ONLY " lost X amount of weight this week. Well... I have lost a whopping 15.8 pounds since March first (yep, that would be 28 weeks - Sharon doesn't that make you feel better)! Isn't that the slowest of the slow? Well, I celebrate even the .1 losses because they are losses none the less! Also, it's not about the weekly number on the scale but about the long term goal of changing our lifestyle and eating habits - losing the weight is just an added bonus! Now, I may have to reread this tomorrow after my weigh in (I just feel a gain this week comin' on) but I won't let a gain upset me either because I know that I am doing much better than I would have had I never joined WW or this wonderful group! Every one have a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 , That was a very inspiring message. I have lost a whopping 5 lbs in 8 weeks. I am totally frustrated, but try to remind myself that at least the scale is going in the right direction - no matter how long it takes. Thanks for the good words. A loss is a loss is a loss!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2001 Report Share Posted September 8, 2001 You are absolutely right! Maybe I will save this and read it daily to keep me up to form! I do try to picture a lb. of hamburger and remember that each pound of fat is the same size! That's alot of fat off my body! And then when I get discouraged over only losing 12 lbs. then I tell myself that losing 12 lbs. is better than NOT losing 12 lbs.! Sharon A loss is a loss is a loss! Hi Gang!
