Original Post by pittsburghman35:

hi all, i just joined last wed.   i started my diet on jan 2 this year. i lost the quick 12 pounds in one week (water pds i'm sure.) yesterday i weighed myself and did not loss a pound in a week. i was so disappointed and wanted to quit. i was looking thru the site and found an article that coach k (i think) posted. i was titled "how scales lie". i read it and it got me back in the right state of mind. i then exercised for 2 hrs! reweighed my self and lost 2pds!!!   thanks coach!!!!!

pittsburghman35:  That is so awesome that you lost 12 pounds in one week.  That is why my biggest obstacle in this is eating.  I can work out for years and nothing will change because it's hard to change my eating habits.  I have been working out for about 2 months now and have only lost 5 pounds.  IT SUCKS!!!
