I only lost ...

I lost six pounds this week. I know. I know. Most of the weight was water weight but the scale still said six magical pounds. How much weight did you lose? I have heard from several people who shall remain anonymous concerning their weight loss. So far, this is how we stand. Two people lost 6 pounds, one person lost 5 pounds, another lost 4.2, another lost 3, another lost 2 pounds, and another lost 1 pound. Congratulations group! The seven of us have lost a collective 27.2 pounds this week. Of course, that doesn’t include others who didn’t report in with their weight loss.

To anyone who may be discouraged with an “only one pound” loss, let me say this; get out a pound of butter from your refrigerator. Take a good look at it. This is how much weight came off your tummy or fanny this week. Not bad, huh? While one pound may seem like a modest loss for your efforts, keep in mind that even at this modest rate you will lose 52 pounds in 2011. Keep up the good work.
