Patient I am not. But I'm working on it. I decided a couple months ago that I would stick with this lifestyle change and journey no matter how long it takes. I'm still committed to that but there will be hard times. Today is one of those days. I LOVE SP and am happy in general, but I just cannot understand why the scale isn't moving the way it should. Yes, I know there are non-scale victories and I'm happy for those but let's face it; we all want to see that number on the scale drop. So today I did some math. A 3,500 caloric deficit is supposed to equal one pound of weight loss and I can't seem to lose a pound (over weeks). Let's look at some numbers. According to my trackers, last week I created a caloric deficit of 4,699 and I burned 2,722 in workouts. That's a total deficit of 7,471. If 3,500=1lb, I should have lost 2lbs, right? So how come I didn't lose anything??? I am confused and my patience is thin today. I need a hug
