Everyday Systems

Just had a couple of questions anyone out there have a lot of success with weight loss each week about how much should you expect to lose. Last night I had a rough day. I was wanting to eat chili fries and etc. I am feeling better today. I wanted to devour a huge dessert on my Nos day but I didnt.

Sustainable weight loss (like no-s) is very, very slow. About half a pound a week. Some people are lucky and it goes faster, but don't bank on it. And your scale is not accurate enough to measure such tiny increments on a daily or even weekly basis, so I'd recommend not stepping on it too often and driving yourself crazy. Focus on behavior, "days on habit," instead, with maybe a monthly weigh in to sanity check (do a "burst" of measurements over maybe 3 days at the end of a month and take the average).
