You should be happy with your 2 lb weight loss! Even if your sister lost the same amount and didn't exercise, it sounds like she's just starting and when you just start you lose it pretty easy at first and then you need to put in effort.

I'd gladly take your 2 lbs! I've been working out really hard myself (at least an hour every day, with one day rest) and in 2 weeks I've only lost 1.4 lbs! So it really sucks! So I can understand the frustration for sure.

What we need to remember is that it took time to put it on, it'll take time to take it off and we need to be proud about every change we make and every little pound that comes off!

Now im excited, trying to decide what to wear etc. It amazing what losing 26 pounds can do for your confidence:)

im so happy:sifone:
 
You are really doing so well! Congrats on all your weight loss and I'm glad that you're happier now :) It's great that you're going out and feeling great! I can't wait until you get to hit your 2 stone loss and I'm sure you can't either ;)
 
Congrats on the Amazing weight loss. Wow 26 pounds must feel so good!!! I remember back in 06 when I had lost 22 pounds and I felts so much better!!!! You are an inspiration!!!!
 
Don't worry, it's bound to happen, especially with your amazing weight loss. My weight loss isn't so amazing and it's happened a couple times (it's even went up!) lol... just keep going and don't give up, the scale will follow!
 
Many things can affect the numbers on the scale tom or water retention have you made mesurments? Sometimes the scale doesn't move but when you mesure yourself you see results, some people swear by picture too I didn't do the pics yiet I am kind of talking myself into it....just don't give up you have come such a long way you just have to keep on working hard!
 
oh theres no way im stopping, members of my family who didnt even know i was on a diet are saying how well i look, im nearly a size 18 again and i was bursting out of size 22 jeans when i started:coolgleamA:

theres a pair of jeans that wouldnt go around my stomach 6 weeks ago that im wearing now and are loose on me:) im so bloody happy i could scream. i cant believe i let myself get so fat:cuss:
 
It's sooo good that you've gone down all those sizes!

Don't feel bad about letting yourself get to the weight you did because you can't change the past, however you can be so proud of yourself for trying to fix it! It's definitely not easy and you're progressing beautifully!
