    Thank you for putting it this way! Every time I've failed at dieting/eating right has been because of disillusionment with a weight plateau (that, or brownies). Or me expecting to lose 3 pounds a week, and being frustrated when I lose zero or 1 pound a week.

    Side note, I have no idea what those numbers on your scale mean.

    I think the numbers on the scale mean Stones and then Pounds. In Europe that is how they measure things. We just had to do straight pounds here because we are American and thus difficult and we were pretty much desperately trying to stick it to the Brits in any way we could. How do you think we got American English? Webster basically messed around with European English until he made things different but still familiar. :laugh:

    OP, Thanks for the enlightenment and the encouragement. The numbers on the scale pale in comparison to how much better I feel when I work out and eat right. :drinker:

    I like to think of my fat loss in the form of how many Big Macs I would have to eat to gain it back.

    10 lbs of fat is the equal to eating 63.67 Big Macs (42.67 if you also get medium fries and a diet Coke).
    Those are US Big Macs and fries, so your mileage may vary.

    Excellent OP and something I'm just about hitting. Woke up today feeling tired ... I have been exercising and eating some calories back but never to surplus for the last month. Today I realised I needed only to eat well & keep ticking over & it'll be fine... the scales hit a big low at 217 & I pretty much know I feel pre-ovulation bloated so I'm fairly confident later in the month it'll even out & be lower again :)
