Hopefully, in a year, I'll be where you are. (Not necessarily New Zealand, but that would be okay, too. :) That is definitely true, and I appreciate hearing it from someone who has been there.

Maybe I am eating more than I realize, although I'm weighing and measuring everything. Thanks for the encouragement. :) I’m definitely going to cut back to about two hours or so this week.

Still, it definitely sucks. Hopefully, I'll drop big this week.

Successful weightloss is not about speed. It's about establishing habits that last. You seem to be losing great to me. Successful weightloss is not about speed.

Celebrate it! Yes, I'm surprised with 3 or 4 hours of cardio a day you're not shifting weight quicker. You'd think you would lose 500 cals an hour minimum from the cardio. Maybe the sheer volume of cardio is making you tired and so you're not doing it with the required intensity? Or maybe that tiredness is making you overeat, and so you're wiping out the effect of the cardio? Hard to say. If I were you I would probably exercise a bit less and then eat a bit less. But I'm only guessing. You could be doing everything right and ,as Craig says, it could just be a week-on-week thing. Anyway, keep with it, you're doing great! A loss is a loss, as you say. Celebrate it!

Congrats on the loss. Slow and steady wins the race...but, that's hard to accept when you're working so hard and losing slower. My only advice is to give it time. I would lose nothing or slowly then one week drop 3 pounds. It's so random. (Note--I still gripe when the scale sucks sooo I'm not one to really give advice here.) I just know we can't give up right? :) Awww, I’ll miss hearing them say VAUGHN FLICKNER~! but you’re right…it’s fair and maybe your team will do better percentage wise now!
