    2 lbs is great! And so are inches! And exercise!

    I know it feels awful sometimes, and we want change to happen faster, but you're doing great. Keep going. :)

    If you are losing inches (which means you are literally getting smaller) why do you care about the weight? Why is a number on a scale so all-important and magical to you?

    The longest I've gone is a 22 day stretch without losing one pound, heck I even saw an increase a couple of times. Then suddenly, 5 pounds gone in a matter of days. If you stick to a modest calorie deficit, the weight will come off. Don't give up

    Thanks for the responses. But depressing it is because I struggle with my weight alot. I do it for myself no one else

    What's to be depressed about? 2 lbs is a great loss.

    You may want to reset your expectations if 2 lbs is depressing to you. Any loss should be celebrated.
