Lost 3 pounds but feel a little disappointed with myself

Hi there.

I have recently put on 2 stone and am trying to lose it.
Only lost 3 pounds.....

In how long?

two stone is what? 24 pounds?

28 pounds. One stone equals 14 pounds.

A time frame would help, but no matter.

This is a "not good enough" thought and will destroy your efforts. A 3 lb loss is hard evidence of success, but your brain wants to record it as failure. Push back.

To get to your goal, those 3 lbs had to go. Cross them off and keep going.

3lbs lost in how many days/weeks?

To give you some idea, 2 stone/28 lbs isn't a huge amount to lose so 1lb per week would be a very healthy amount to aim for.

Hi Jay. First off, congratulations on losing 3 pounds. That's 10% of your goal. And secondly, I learned what a stone was. Good luck on your adventure!!

Thanks guys for your kind words.

3lbs in a week is admirable, respectable and decent! Did you gain at 3lbs a week? I bet not!

jayjayb64

Very true.

3lbs in one week is awesome. I only ever lose 1lb per week. You don't want to lose too quick or else you don't know if you're losing fat or water. You doing really well.

3lb is awesome! I only lost half a lb this week and I'm still very pleased, if it isn't a gain, it's a win for me. WTG!

Great effort. Weight loss aside, your mindset and dedication is the WIN!! And this continued "winning" will deliver you the overall goal that you're aiming for.

Keep.That.Up
