For the first time in my life I have lost 25 pounds the right way! It's a slow road but worth it. I'm a calorie counter 1500-1800 a day right now. I also walk 3-4 times a week. This last month was really slow but I made it through by visiting 3FC a few times a day for motivation and ideas. I'm so glad I finally registered. I also love my new 25 lb chick avatar

That is a great accomplishment. Congratulations.

Good for you - I just reached my first 25 lbs. also this week. It feels good. I am following WW points. I am suprised that most people do not notice but to be honest I am just beginning to notice so I must have really been stuffed in my clothes!! Keep up the good work.

Amazing work Keep it up!!!

That is great!!!!

yay for you!!!!! I also hit my 25 pound goal this week (wed). I don't see a huge difference yet, but I can def. tell that my clothes are fitting a tad looser!

Every goal is a milestone! Great job!!! Isn't it great once you're doing it the right way? I'm the same as you- this is the first time I've done is SENSIBLY and it's working GREAT for me!

Congrats, that is so great! Your body is a lot healthier with that must weight loss!

Congrats to you!! I am definitely having a "mom was right" moment about the whole diet/exercise thing. Now that I have accepted that there is no quick fix I am having great success. I know I can keep this up for life and you can too!

Congrats! People around me are also starting to notice (I always lose first in my face and stomach). I heard Weight Watchers is a great program. That will be my next plan if I need more in person support. Congrats again!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I truly appreciate it! Next stop onederland!

Don't be discouraged by the fact that it is not showing. That's the way it goes for the first part of the weight loss. I had to remind myself that my organs were fat. One of my liver tests was high, I lost like 25 pounds, went back in for the follow up ultra sound test, and nothing was wrong. My doctor said, it had probably been fatty liver. That's when I started joking, well that's why I couldn't see the weight loss, I lost 25 pounds of liver!

Congrats everybody! Keep it up!

That's very reassuring! I was diagnosed with fatty liver last spring and you think that would have motivated me then. Sadly it didn't. I hope my new lifestyle can help correct it. Thanks for replying!
