I didn't think you were whining
But many people come in thinking that everyone has 20 melt off the first week and are then think of themselves as abnormal when it doesn't happen for them. I just didn't want you to get hung up on numbers. In the big picture, the numbers are not the focus so much as looking better, feeling better and getting healthy. I found I was too focused on the numbers when I should have been focusing on doing the WOE as perfectly as I could. When I concentrated on the WOE and not the scale, I lost faster. I definitely didn't want you feeling you had done something "wrong" because your losses were smaller than some others. You are just different and if you learn to be OK with that you will find the WOE easier. It can be darn hard to be patient though.
