    Thank you for bringing up this simple math that can be SO helpful to our attitudes and progress. I have said this quite a few times to friends and MFP-ers who lament losing "just 3-4 lb in a month!" especially when they're first beginning...

    Gotta be in the mindset that's it's a WOL and its long term. Also time seems to be blitzing by that for me it sometimes feels like yesterday when i started my WOE even though i started late August 2013.

    1 pound a week sounds like a lot to me. I am happy to lose weight at half that pace. 14 weeks = 7 pounds and my GW:)
