Am I doing something wrong?
I am 5' 4" 230 pounds I checked off lightly active and to lose 2 pounds a week so that gives me 1230 calories for the day. I try to walk at about 3.5 miles an hour for one hour.

Plateau?
I've lost my first twenty pounds, but during the no scale challenge I wasn't tracking my weight. I only lost one pound that whole month!

Corrupted Wishes
A previous post reminded me of this "game" that I played on a different forum. You make a wish (any wish) and then the next poster grants it, but corrupts your wish. Ex: Poster 1. I wish that chocolate was healthy. Poster 2. Granted, but it's now made of monkey poop. I wish that red wine had 0 calories. Poaster 3. Granted,…
