    Seriously, you keep asking the same questions over and over again. Read the replies to your previous threads and please, read the most helpful threads that are pinned (fixed) at the top of each forum.

    Your post from four days ago said your weight was 204.7. You are down 3.3 pounds since then.

    Your expectations are too high.

    Open your ears and listen to the advice that caring members are sharing with you, based on our own experiences.

    You are heading down a bad path. Slow down and do this the healthy way. If you expect to lose a pound a day, you are going to be bitterly disappointed and give up.

    What’s better? Losing five or ten pounds real quick and then quitting? Or being down thirty or more pounds in six months, with new habits, new tastes and recipes developed, and knowing what works for your body so you can continue losing?

    The pace you’ve set does not (can not!!!) continue. It took me two years to lose about 100. Seventy the first year, and thirty the next. I did not close my eyes in a size 24 and wake up a week later in a 4.

    @bandandn

    Why are you putting so much pressure on yourself? Is there something going on? Is everything OK?

    I see you don’t have any MFP friends. Send a few of us friend invites. Sometimes, getting stuff off your chest to random people on the internet can be a doggone good safety valve. I’ve got several friends who do it, whether it some mischief the dogs have done, coworkers, kids etc. I know for me just writing it down makes me feel better. I may reread it and not even ultimately hit “send”.

    Please know, Even though there’s a message box on the friend request, don’t bother to type anything in it. Due to the pornbots, you now have to actually be accepted as a friend before anyone can see your message, even on the friend request.

    Your expectations are completely unreasonable.

    OP, I lost 50 pounds over about 18 months, and my weight loss chart looks exactly like the one above. If you're feeling defeated about not seeing progress on a daily basis, it might be more helpful to weight yourself once a week so you see less variation due to water retention and release. Your chart will still look jagged, but may show a more pronounced downward trend.
