"Hello, do you know me? If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat, And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound! Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one. So I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it. That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please. So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound." For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing. And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!!! After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!" --- Author Unknown

So, tell me my friends -- Will you still be disappointed when that scale reads ONLY ONE POUND lost???

    Great post!!!! I'm happy with ANY fat loss...it doesn't have to be a pound, it can be 1/2 a pound, still a win in my book!!

    Thank you for this! It's so easy to feel overwhelmed by the big number! Sometimes it's easier to feel accomplished if we set that small goal...I'm going to lose one pound this week!

    I love this - it made me laugh though because when I weighed in yesterday, a woman in front of me was disappointed in a 2 lb. loss. TWO POUNDS!!!! Then I weigh in and I did a happy dance because I lost 0.6 lbs! She tried to tell me that "small loss" wasn't worthy of being that excited about. To which I responded - as long as it is down, it's worthy of being excited about!
