I had to laugh at my mom this morning... she said to me, why bother to keep track of a .2 weight loss.... and I told her gee mom thanks for the support.
Every time I see that number go down even a .2 loss I pat myself on the back.
My husband does too. (Although he really doesn't care what I weigh, when I am happy he is happy.) My mom is as thin as a rail but she drinks coffee in the morning and eats one meal each day around 2 pm and doesn't snack very often. She has no sweet or salty tooth.
Anyway my news today is that I am .2 down from yesterday and I am celebrating regardless if anyone is celebrating with me or not.

Sometimes it's hard for others to share our excitement when they haven't been through a similar experience. To them, 0.2 lbs is meaningless but to us, it's confirmation that we're on the right track. You won't always get the support needed from family and friends so that's why mfp is so great. Here on mfp, it's easy to find others who have been there and are doing the same things.
Keep your headup and keep going :-)0 -
Here for the celebration0

i get that too, my friends are more crass about it though- typically i get the "i could poop 1lb", well duh! that's why i weigh myself after going to the bathroom every time! i have learned to not say anything about .5lb weight loss to them (my scale only goes by .5). but it does make you feel good to see the scale go in the general direction of down! congratulations!!!!!!0

Keep laughing all the way to your goal. I celebrate weight loss, no matter how small, and I celebrate the little non-weight loss achievements, like bypassing the donuts at our work coffee bar every Thursday morning that I pass by all day long on my way to the restroom from drinking so much water. LOL! It's definitely worth celebrating, as that's what keeps most of us going. Congrats to you on every ounce you lose!!0

I knew you would all get it!!!!
My niece, who I have been exercising with, gets it!!!!
So everyone party on!!!!
I hope everyone sees a .2 or better on their scales this morning!!!!0 -
Any downward movement on that scale is worth celebrating! Even .2lb will add up.0

Woohoo! Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves - saving little amounts is better than not saving at all. Same with weightloss. Every little counts. Bravo you!0
