So I just started back up and I have seen an incremental loss of 1.8lbs. Most people typically have large initial losses... I know they’re water weight losses but I’m super bummed because I could REALLY use the starting push to feel successful. Anyone else experience this?

    That is about what I am averaging also. But what I also do is take measurements ; bicep,thigh,waist chest/bust, and hips are the main ones. I take these once a month and have lost almost 3 inches overall. Measurements are a more accurate gauge to getting in better shape I think.

    Keep it up and you will get there!

    1.8lbs in a week? The only thing wrong is your expectations. Be happy, that's good progress!
