I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
CellarDweller:
Heck, even I've slowed down a bit right now. That's to be expected.
I still weigh myself daily, it's easier for me to track and keep an eye on everything I need to, but if there's not a significant loss to report (a pound or more) I don't post it.

That's been my problem for months, as I've been veeeerrrrrrryyyyy gradually going down. Between October, when I started Weight Watchers, and January, when I started IWIKHtLY--TWLT(cfp), I lost 7 or 8 lbs. Not the two-pound a week rate I've sometimes achieved in the past, but I figured that was because it was over the holidays. Since then, though, during what is typically my best time of year for weight loss, I've only lost another 5 or 6. So altogether, maybe 14 lbs over 6 1/2 months. Not a very precipitous drop.
Still, better than nothing!
I'd like to step it up a bit, though. I have a goal at the end of July: a big high-school all-class reunion. They have them every five years, a street dance in a cute little touristy town nearby, and they're always really fun. In the post-Facebook era, this one should be even better. At my current weight-loss rate, I'll lose another 5 lbs by then. That would be better than nothing, but ideally I'd like to lose at least twice that much.
Anyway, I like to tell myself that losing this slow is a good thing, that I'm retraining my habits and the loss will last forever this time.

I believe you're correct. I've heard the slower you lose the weight, the more likely it is to stay off.

Lost two more pounds. In one month's time, I've lost 20 pounds. ;D An average of 5 pounds a week. ;D
4 more pounds, and I'll be halfway to my goal. ;D
