    Would also like to point out, that many of the people here have also abused food, and been sedetary for years and years thus ruining their hormonal profiles and metabolisms. Then they expect everything to right itself within weeks.

    To the OP, couldn't agree more.

    Throw the damn scale away.

    I've struggled with that mentality too. It's really hard to change how you think after a lifetime of viewing food as entertainment.

    I love it when people say, "you didn't put it on over night, it's not going to come off over night"

    You got it, hottie!
    The scale isn't something we should live and die by.
    Add in the fact that I dropped 10 pounds and lost 70 calories a day for my base consumption....yea. Explains plateaus too...

    I just wish people would realize they need to take pictures and measurments, and yes weigh yourself, but once a week. Look at the pictures and every month or so take an updated pic

    When it comes to weight loss you can thank The Biggest Loser for that. It has a good message, but it gives people false hope making them think they are going to lose 10 pounds every week.
