A little discouraged :(

Quit watching the Biggest Loser and expecting miracles. You are down 6 pounds in 10 days. Accept that as great progress.

That being said, you did not lose 6 pounds of fat. You likely lost primarily a bunch of water weight. Search the forums for the links geared towards new people. There is a lot of good advice if you read, open your mind and set realistic goals and expectations.

Good luck.

6 lbs in 2 weeks is an amazing loss! It really is! Don't get discouraged. This is a long process that you've got to tackle a little bit at a time.

Keep your head up!

The hardest thing to learn on any weight loss journey is patience. We have to remember that it took time to gain the weight that we have. And it will also take time to lose that weight. Weight loss is referred to as a journey because it is long term.

It's hard to avoid getting caught up in the numbers game. But weight loss is about more than what you see on the scale. The number will fluctuate, and at times, seem to just stand still. But you should take a look at what has changed since 09/19/2014. Have you made healthier choices in regards to food? Are you incorporating more exercise in your days? Maybe set some non-weight related health goals that you can measure.

ex. Exercise 3 times a week to start; or Eat vegetables 3 times a day.

Focus on the positive and remember that weight is only a small indicator when it comes to your health. It sounds like you are doing great. Good luck and remember to give it time.

Six pounds in a week and a half is very good. Usually people lose water the first week and then after that it's a pound to 1.5 pounds per week; sometimes it's .5 pounds per week and sometimes it will be none. You have to trust the process. I agree with TX- don't expect miracles. The Biggest Loser has people weighing in "weekly" when usually it's 2-3 weeks of diet and exercise. And yes, eat all of your allotted calories daily to keep your metabolism going. I've heard on here before - buy a food scale and weight everything- don't guess or eye ball anything. Also, find some type of exercise you love to do and just do it. Better yet find someone you like to workout with and have fun together. Believe me after a few weeks you will see the weight dropping little by little. Go read some of the success stories for inspiration. Join a group and make some friends on here with around the same amount to lose as you. Just don't give up. It's a life style change so don't think of it as a diet or a journey- this is a new way of living to a healthier you that will have more energy and feel better overall.

You are doing AMAZING!!! We (society) want things right now...Yesterday!!! You should be very proud of yourself and don't get discouraged. Easier Said Than Done!!! I started loosing weight in 2012 and lost a total of 105 pounds. When I changed my habits and started skipping the gym I put on about 25 pounds so I am getting back in the swing of things. One thing you don't want to do is give up on yourself. You can do this by making it a lifestyle change!! Good Luck to you and keep your head held high...you are doing great!!!

DUDE CONGRATS ON A 6 POUND LOSS!!!!! THAT'S AWEOSME!

Don't be discouraged! I've only been at it a little longer, since 9/16. Last week, I was so discouraged, too. But, over last weekend, I had big losses! Keep in mind that after your fat cells go through the initial release, the remaining components of the cell take some time to fully break down and finally be released. It is a process. So, some days, or even a few days in a row, you will see smaller losses. But, as those fat cells break down further, you will see some days with big losses, too! And, I agree with smv29053, we do want things yesterday. I was thinking this morning that the only difference between me and those that have already met their big weight loss goals is that they started before me. Some will start after me, too. Then, I will be the success story that they use for inspiration. So, keep your chin up. 6 lbs is awesome. I prefer to think of it as "almost 10". Keep pushing forward. And remember to keep drinking lots of water!

girl... it's oooookkkkkaaaayyyy....

I try not to eat my exercise-earned cals. Eating back too many of those will stall out your loss.

And congrats on your first loss! :^)

No, it won't.

6 pounds in ten days is great - keep doing what you're doing!

AMEN. I mean...do you realize that's close to a pound a day?? Most people say not to lose more than two pounds a WEEK.

I totally understand but yes SLOOOOOW is better I get discouraged at times myself

6lbs! That I wish I could lose! Struggling so hard. Eat your calories max for the day and not under. You do not have to eat back exercise calories if you don't want to. But don't go below 1200 cals thats what a woman body needs for all organs to function properly.
