Don't be sad, 2 1/4 lbs is not to be sniffed at!

Put 4 1/2 packs of lard on the table and take a good hard look and I bet you'll feel really glad that they're not still sitting on your bum, or tum!

Be proud of your achievement, it deserves tears of joy. x

Moreless, I do that too, only with packs of butter, visually tho...if I had butter in the house that would not be a good thing, one of my weaknesses was toast and loads of butter! It's motivating to imagine that much fat on the table isn't it?!

It really is MM :) It's so easy to lose sight of just how much 1/2lb is and this is an instant reminder :)

I think around the end of the year I might go to a supermarket and photograph the butter, so that I can see exactly how much it mounts up to be...then stick that to the fridge or kitchen cupboard just in case temptation sets in lol!

I agree well done. 2 1/4 off is most definetly better than 2 1/4 on. Your journey has just begun and it's always better to loose weight at a sensible rate.

If you do the same next week that's 4 1/2 off, see It will soon add up x

Don't be so hard on yourself. 2 1/4 pounds is a great achievement. Better to have lost something than nothing at all. I've lost 1 1/2 pounds in my first week and I'm thrilled. The NHS weight loss does say that following their guide is aimed at losing 1-2 pounds a week. So you have done fantastic! :D

Personally I would be very pleased with 2 & 1/4 lbs. Losing a lot of weight quick sounds ideal but the truth of it is a pound or two each week is far better. Don't be in too much of a rush, take it slow and you will get there and stay there. Well done.

Well done, Every little helps so keep going . If you lost that every week just think how much you would have lost in a month.

Hope you have a great week.

I'm with moreless, this is a fab achievement...I imagine butter as opposed to lard...4 1/2 packs of butter is a LOT so very well done!
