7. Expecting too much.
The first week or two of a diet can result in five or more pounds lost, a significant change that can be exciting for anyone who has struggled with excess weight. But after that initial drop, progress generally slows to a healthy one to two pounds lost each week. That can be discouraging, but remember that you are probably trying to reverse years of weight gain.

Do: Be patient. Slow but steady isn’t exciting, but a study by
the National Institutes of Health found that those who lost at the healthy rate
of one to two pounds per week were far more likely to keep the weight off than
those who lost faster.
