I just managed to replace my silly computer, which broke down last month. The last couple weeks have been terrible and stressful, so I haven't been focused on dieting and exercise. I still lost a pound, but I'm a little disappointed because I know it could have been a lot more than that.

I am sorry you have had a rough couple of weeks.
Remember you are not gaining weight, you are still losing. That is good. I understand you want it to be 5 or 6 pounds but sometimes it will be a lower weight. I have learned this from all of the posts. It varies.

I just wanted to say thanks for your words of encouragement. It really helps to be able to go somewhere to vent your weight loss frustrations with people who understand and are supportive. I feel better about it today and I know you're right. I'm happy I lost anything and even if my weight had stayed the same, that's a lot better than the alternative.

I left and went for a walk and the smell is STILL in the house. I have my trusty MIO water (peach tea) and it taste like bacon!....It smells good but it is also making me nauseated. Now I am eating my dinner a turkey patty with my salad and guess what kind of dressing???....WF bacon!!....oh well such is life!...all I can do is laugh about it.....lol

My last weigh in was a stall. No weight loss. I have read enough posts to know this happens around the 4th or 5th week. I am hoping that this is temporary. I am trying not to be disappointed

Don't be disappointed. It happens. It is happening to me right now.
I know this will change on my next WI.

I'm down exactly 2 lbs this morning for a total of 14.6 lbs in 4 weeks. I didn't quite make the goal but I'll take it.

Congrats to everyone on their success and to all the newbies out there please take on this challenge even though some of us have moved on past our first month!

It is temporary. I have lost 2 pound in the last two days. I was so scared it was not going to happen but it did. Thank the Lord!
I won't change my ticker until my Thursday WI.
