You mean to tell me I lost 100 pounds and it hasn't even made a dent? arrrgggh

It is quite frustrating--the more you weigh, the more you have to lose to tell a difference! 100 pounds from 400 is 25% of their weight, so it would be about the same as someone weighing 200 losing 50 pounds (to 150)--you'd probably notice a difference, but it might not be super-drastic, ya know? I'm sure there is a difference in you with a 100-pound loss but you don't see it because you look at yourself every day. I'm sure others notice more than you do.

I've had the same frustration. I talk to some people who lose 10-20 pounds and go down pants sizes, but I lost 40 pounds (from 310 to 270) and didn't budge a size! I know it's just because I'm bigger to begin with. The paper towel theory worked really well for me--think of a roll of paper towels. We are starting out a very big rolls, so taking off just one paper towel at a time doesn't make much difference in the size of the roll. If the roll only started with 10 sheets and you tore one off, it would make a noticable difference! So, the smaller we get, the faster it will seem to make a difference--all the more reason to keep on truckin'!

Completely unrelated vent because I am just so upset right now! I had to delete a check from a check run last week because it for the wrong amount. Well, my brilliant accounting system (NOT!) instead of just voiding that one check voided the entire check run. That means I have to find each one of those checks and re-enter them manually. I really need to have this done by the end of day today, since I owe my boss in Australia a cash report for his Monday morning. Aargh!! This is so frustrating!
