Not a stellar loss

Well, I only lost 4 pounds this week. I guess I will have to try harder, step up the activity. My shrink is making me write down everything I eat so that is holding me accountable so my food and alcohol shenanigans are kept to a minimum, so I guess I need to exercise more. -=db=-

FOUR POUNDS IN ONE WEEK IS A GOOD LOSS, SO KEEP UP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING. MORE ACTIVITY NEVER HURTS, GO FOR IT. JACKI

db, I've said this to many newbies "only" take it out of your vocabulary lady.....a 4 lb loss is a 4 lb loss, the scale is moving downward, that's what you're wanting to happen.   I find "only" to cause negative energy to us.......don't let it rule your week, kuddos on the -4!

DARN SKIPPY! 4 pounds is pretty awesome if you ask me! Negativity OUT!!! Positivity and love for you (yes, I will keep on about that! ) IN!!! Hello!

4 pounds is wonderful   I havent lost 4 pounds in one week since 5 months post op.....Please be happy with 4 pounds....unless your on the biggest loser show 4 pounds is GREAT!!! keep up the good work Diana

Better than a 4 pound gain. My surgery is working very nicely, I need to work with it and that's what I've been doing. I'm trying to eat a baked chicken breast right now and I've had about 1 ounce of it and I'm full. -=db=-

I think 4lbs is fantastic! Congratulations!!!!! Its working for ya!!!!

Hey db! You did great!! I know that when we've gained a significant amount of weight and then finally "get a grip," get all inspired, follow a good food plan, etc., we feel like the lbs. should just fall off again!  But keep in mind how we've screwed up our bodies & metabolism so badly through the years that we may as well give up trying to outguess how it's gonna go.   You're doing good, and you're inspiring me as I'm badly struggling right now!

Thanks. Yeah, I was liking that massive weight loss every week at first. Now we're kind of like everyone else. I can do this, Ijust have to keep my eye on the results and stop justifying cheating. -=db=-

Well, you know we are all rooting for you!  Just wanted send my well wishes and "only four pounds" is great! So many great things start from small beginnings... Anita
