    Queen,

    The fact that you posted this to call us to arms for you means you are not looking to quit. Because if you wanted to quit you would have just done it. Try concentrating on the fact that you are eating better for overall health, losing weight is the by product for being a healthier person.

    I'm really glad we could help. The collective positive energy on this site is amazing isn't it?

    The best thing is this: some time in the near future it will be you offer encouragement to someone else.

    As many of us do, we love to see results. Well, I'm not seeing any!! Since my boyfriend and I have stopped eating out he is losing weight like it's a piece of cake, and he isn't even trying. Me on the other hand...well...no such luck. Since I've seriously changed my eating habits and I've been exercising 3 times a week, which was 2-21-11, I've lost about 3 pounds. I'm sure most of you will say that is plenty for 2 weeks, but with the drastic change in eating habits, I would have expected more for the first 2 weeks. Maybe I shouldn't expect to lose any...I don't know, I'm simply frustrated!

    I just need some encouragement, accountability, and reassurance that I'm dong the right thing. I know it is the right thing, especially when I can't fit into any of my clothes and for the general health of myself.

    Thank you.

    I was having this same issue and I realized that even though the scales didn't say I had a bunch of weight loss I was fitting into clothes that had previously looked painted on. for the next couple of weeks try using a measuring tape and keep track of inches lost instead of pounds lost. I am sure you will see a difference. Good luck
