I know this is dumb. I have been on CC for 8 months now and have obviously been successful because I've lost 25 pounds, which is great. But I was always really frustrated because it seemed to go slowly. I figured I would eat around 1200 calories a day (up to 1400-1500) and lose around 2 pounds a week. I didn't realize until a day or two ago that I am only supposed to lose 1% of my total weight per week, which means that I am supposed to lose around a pound a week. Kind of funny because that's almost exactly what has happened. If I start eating 1500 calories per day not only will I have more freedom to eat what I want, but I will also lose about the same amount of weight. I am now 2.5 pounds from my first goal of 135. I'm looking at 125 next. :)
