    Happy! Especially if you are set to lose 1 lb per week! Also think of the good you are doing for your cardiovascular system.

    If you lost anymore that would be worrisome because anymore than 2 is quite a lot.

    You want to lose this weight slowly - the healthy way.

    I have had to convince myself that life is not like The Biggest Loser, we are going to have much smaller numbers, and yours is a HUGE one- when they loose 7, 8, 9 pounds in a week is because they are on SUPER constrictive eating, like no carbs AND low calorie and they work out 8-10 hrs per day. Loosing weight is hard, don't EVER be disappointed with a 3 pound loss!!

    Running for 3 hours a day doesn't seem wise, but to each their own. Why would you be disappointed by losing 3.5lbs?

    Are you disappointed because you wanted to lose more? Is that why you are exercising 3 hours a day? No need to rush, this is a forever lifestyle change.

    If I just lost 3.5 lbs and I was running 3 hours a day...I would just give up.

    :noway: You probably don't need to do that much cardio, but to each their own I guess.

    Over 3lb loss in a week is amazing. :drinker:
