I’m down another pound.  I’m down 13.5 since I started.  I’m okay with a pound a week.  Susan suggested I look at a 1 lb. package of ground beef for comparison purposes, and imagine that not being on me anymore.  It helped to visualize the pound since it just doesn’t seem like much.  If I keep losing a pound a week, I am going to insist that I’m happy with it.  Everyone else in my weight loss group is doing well, so congratulations . . . we haven’t had one week where someone has gained.  Go us! 

edit:  this is a great article about “slow” weight loss for those needing some extra support.
