Only 4lb? I think you have set yourself some unrealistic goals. 4lbs in four weeks is excellent and even more so given the weight you have already lost.

Create some new goals, more realistic goals and make sure that some of them are not weight/scale related. Focus on other success indicators. These could be fitness related (improved walk or run times, increased weights for training) or health related eg reduction in blood pressure.

Ok sweetheart you need to pull yourself together.
4 pounds, a pound a week, is a great loss, hell 2 stone is fantastic !
People on here would kill for those losses.
Why are you so down? You know you look better, feel better and have done well.
We all have days when we wish we could snap our fingers and just wake up looking amazing but, you are doing great.

Put more focus on achievements , not the number on the scale. Find and do something that makes you happy, it isn't healthy to feel down over weight it can only lead to disordered thinking.

If this is something that begins to take over you look for professional advice but in the meantime if you can shake it off.

Add me if you like x
Good luck op

Honey, take it from someone whose scale hasn't moved in two months. A 4lb loss is GREAT!! I would love to see that in a month!!

2 stone = 28lb in 2 months.

You sound like you're more of a "glass half empty" type. You're doing fine, chillax.

What were your expectations? You have lost more than many people do in 2 months. Most people here are not aiming to lose more than 4-8 lbs a month. Expecting to lose 20-30 lbs a month is unrealistic and unhealthy.
Losing 4 lbs in a month is great progress.

Grab four 1 lb bags of flour and carry them around the house for awhile. You'll feel better then!
Good work and smile, darn it!
