After 2 weeks of Phase 1 on the South Beach Diet I was really looking forward to weighing in. I have heard people losing 8 to 12 pounds, even Garth lost a significant amount of weight on the diet. You can image my disappointment when I stepped on the scale after 2 weeks of low carbs, no wine, and working out every day to only have lost a pound.
Yes, I know a loss is a loss is a loss. But really?! One single pound after two weeks of hard work. That is just frustrating. I'm trying to be optimistic. I know my stomach is flatter and my clothes fit better. I know I'm going to continue with Phase 2 and maybe I'll see a big loss next week. I know I'm being obsessive and dramatic but I'm a little annoyed right now but I'll get over it.
Happy Friday! How are all of you doing?

- I love God. My husband makes me laugh a lot. I could eat sushi everyday. I have been to Israel. I hate the rain in my shoes. I enjoy reading theology. I love Broadway musicals. I hate florescent lights. I like dressing up. I love weddings. I hate cake. I enjoy planning events. I adore Hawaii. I wish I could sing. I hope bell bottoms never go out of style. I am not a city girl. I love hanging out with my husband. I can kick your butt at Connect Four. I love bike riding. I should have been born in a state with an ocean. I'm following THE Rabbi. I like to clean. I love to laugh. I rather read than cook. I want to love God with my life.

sorry Lindsey, that is super frustrating! Keep at it! Good job losing the one pound, and feeling slimmer is always nice :)
I am having similar struggles through WW right now, so I really feel your pain. Diligently counting every bite/calorie/point and maintaining or seeing a .2 loss? I try to be grateful that the scale is going in the "right" direction but it is hard and frustrating.
I know you are a workout machine and I am a marathon runner...I'm wondering if there is something to be said about our bodies being used to a certain intensity of work out and it being efficient about the way it stores/burns calories? That's probably just rationalizing but I'm wondering if there's something to that?
Just found your cute blog. We have lots in common..loving our husbands, organic food and Jesus! I wrote a post on how Jesus changed my marriage and love to share it with younger women so they won't make the same mistakes I made:

I bet it will sneak up on you and the week you don't expect it you'll get a giant loss. That's happened to me a few times after being disappointed for not being rewarded for a hard week :)
