    Why do people sign up here, post "frustrated" threads, and then never return? Happens every five minutes. :/

    And why do people say they aren't losing weight when they are losing weight.

    They should divide out the pounds lost by the weeks that they have been on the diet. Instead they lose a few and stall in spurts and say that they aren't losing when they see no movement on the scale for a week. I used to watch the scale like that but now I look at it as a downward albeit slowwwwww (for me) trend. I don't really mind stalls so much. At least I'm not gaining! If I give up then I know I will splurge and gain. So I don't let up on the brakes.

    Because so many people are conditioned to the "10 lbs in 2 weeks!" type of ads, not realizing that that kind of diet isn't really a useful diet as it will cause them to yo-yo. So many people don't realize that losing weight permanently is a long, slow process of reestablishing eating habits and adjust activity levels. It's not hard, just takes longer than people want to.

    This is very true. The media has tricked people into thinking that they can loose oodles of weight in the blink of an eye.

    Plus, they probably aren't hearing the answers they wanted to hear.
