I have lost 10lbs in the past 7 weeks and I was bummed about it. I got used to losing weight at the rate of 3lbs a week... I was aiming for 2lb a week but it was a struggle to get a 1000 calorie deficit. I thought I did it according to my calculations but I was 4lbs short.
I got frustrated about it. I know any loss is good but I am a very goal orientated person and I was always able to meet my targets before. Anyway, I decided to take my measurements and with this 10lb loss... 2.5 inches from waist, 1.5 from hips, 1 from thighs, 1 from arms and 3 from my 'love handle' area. I am also down a jean size.
I can't believe it! I started out as morbidly obese and it took 40lbs lost for anyone to even notice. Now I am approaching a healthy BMI (very close). With these 10lbs everyone is commenting and I feel a huge difference.
So yes, while you may not be able to lose as much weight as you did in the beginning remember that these smaller losses make bigger differences!
edit: no strength training so I didn't build any muscle.
