I want to lose a lot of weight every week...why is this not happening?!
I worked out a lot last week. I ate right last week. I lost half a pound last week.
To quote my ever-supportive husband - "it's a marathon, not a sprint". OK, but it's not fair! I eat great. Well, except for Saturday night at the hockey game when I had a big pretzel, popcorn and 4 bites of pizza. But should one little night of fun lead to such a small weight loss? I worked out extra hard on the weekend so I could indulge a little. Okay, so I also had a couple of glasses of wine and maybe a martini, but come on!
Let me check....okay, my rant is over. I am intelligent enough to realize I am doing well. I have lost 13.2 lbs. in 5 weeks which is fantastic. There are ten weeks left in this competition and I'm in it for the long haul.
I want very badly, however, to get under 150 lbs. I am currently at 151.6. I know it's a psychological thing, but I won't be truly satisfied with my effort until I reach that goal.
Why does trying to lose weight drive so many of us mad?
Thought for the day (or week or month)
Do you talk too much? Think about it.

I won't be happy until I'm in the 170s. I'm 183.6 at the moment.
Dammit.
But...you're doing just fine. Words of wisdom by the Divine Mister Craig.
It's a marathon. Not a sprint.
Kudos to you for working out like a trooper! And - perhaps you gained a bit of muscle...which weighs more than that fat-stuff we're trying to ditch!
