    Glad you posted this! I've always been very happy to lose a pound in a week but so many people get upset over that kind of loss that sometimes I feel like my expectations are too low! I lost exactly 1 lb this week and felt kinda conflicted- I was so happy I finally lost but also thought "should it have been more?" I feel better now :flowerforyou:

    I lost one pound this week too and I have to say I was a little disappointed. Last week I lost three pounds. I know that losing it slow is the right way to do it but I really want to be skinny.

    I am grateful for all the pounds I lose even if it's just 1 pound here or there, its still a good hard earned pound lost!

    Where can you buy a fake pile of fat? LOL

    I need one to set on my kitchen counter.

    Just print the pic off and put it on the snack cabinet! ;)

    Good idea - I'm printing it off and put beside my computer and my exercise area.

    According to this, I've lost 15 grapefruits already in fat volume. It really doesn't feel like that.

    My weighloss buddy was rather disappointed to have lost 1lb until I found a similar visual and think she was converted to the fact that it was a good loss lol!!

    I went to the Doctor's the other day and as I went through came across a 5lb slab so took a pic of that and posted it as a picture on here and Facebook!!

    It's certainly a great motivator and a ploy used by the Biggest Loser when they put their weightlosses in a rucksack and then make them do a work out carrying the weight they were originally!! Oh er!! I have a dumbell that weights the equivelent to what I have lost at the moment and know how that feels to lift up!!
