A Stick of Butter

How can I do this absolutely perfectly and still lose only one pound?!?! I know...I should be happy--12 pounds in 14 days, and you say it that way, it's great. But, 11 pounds the first week, and 1 the second, is a little defeating, even though it's an entire stick of butter! I'm just going to tell myself, it's because I've been sick, and my body is more focused on killing germs than burning fat. But, it does feel like a neverending journey, with some disappointing sightgs along the way. I suppose though, the only thing I can do is to move forward. If I quit, I gain--so there really isn't another option. So, here's to the next seven days. I can do this, right?
